I thought I would share one of my favorite school outfits (which is also perfect to wear to work if you’re in a business casual environment). When dressing professionally, you want to look neat and put together, but can still find ways to incorporate your individual style. One of the hot items right now are patterned pants. While I wouldn’t show up to work with crazy florals, a classic geometric pattern is a great way to break you out of your black/gray/khaki rut.
Mixing patterns is great, but if you want to play it safe, I would stick with a solid top to balance out your look. These Banana Republic pants are my new favorites- they have an amazing fit and are so comfortable. I love pairing them with my neutral wedges, but will definitely transition to flats once I start my clinicals. And no work ensemble would be complete without a sturdy tote. Whether you’re carrying extra shoes, a lunchbox, or a change of clothes, a roomy tote is essential as you’re traveling to and from your workplace.
Ps. Full priced items at Banana Republic are 40% off right now with code BRWEEKEND!

This is the perfect summer work outfit!! I absolutely love those pants!! I think it's important to always look put together – the worst is people that are disheveled, late and wear flip flops to work!!
