What to Wear to Work | Bright Structured Dress

Welcome back! Today's post is a little different from my Monday blog series. Instead of sharing a day and a night look, I'm sharing two ways to wear a bright structured dress to the workplace. 

In outfit number one, I'm layering with my favorite Ann Taylor shirt. This stripes are a great way to add texture to a solid color dress. You can add dimension by flipping up the collar and sleeves. The camel coat and fedora don't take away from bold dress, instead adding a more professional appeal to the outfit.

As for outfit number two, it's a little more traditional. Adding black pieces for a more subtle look. By wearing a red lipstick it adds a variety of color, so you don't feel like you're dressing up for Halloween.

Living in NYC and not having a lot of space in my closet, I'm a big believer in selling things I don't wear. The reason I bring this up today, is because I've had a lot of friends ask how should they get rid of things in their closet. My answer is always, Poshmark! For those not familiar with Poshmark, it's a mobile app that enables you to buy and sell gently used items to the Poshmark community. In the past few years, I've been able to sell hundreds of items on Poshmark. As you can imagine, that eventually adds up.  I've sold everything from a Louis Vuitton bag to a Banana Republic sweater.

Here's how it work. Download the Poshmark app. Use code HPADM for a $5 credit. Take photos of the item with your iPhone or Android camera, which is all done in the app (one tip, I highly recommend taking quality photos). Also share a variety of photos. This gives potential buyers the ability to have a better understand what they're purchasing. Be as detailed as possible when describing the item. Name your price. I'd recommend researching the current market value and price accordingly. Then post to your closet! Once someone buys your item, a shipping label will be sent to your email. Pack up the item, attach the shipping label and drop off at the post office. Once the item has been received by the buyer, the funds will deposit into your Poshmark account. The funds can either be used to buy more items on Pohsmark or you can direct deposit the funds into your checking account.

Happy poshing! A few of my readers have discovered my closet, for others here's a direct link to my Poshmark closet.
