Wear to Work: Sport the Classic Big over Small Silhouette

In fashion, there are a few classic silhouettes - big over small, small over big, small over small, and the largely unflattering big over big.  Here’s how to take the classic big over small silhouette to work:

1. Start with a loosely cut, blousy top.  We love the textured neckline of this grey henley.
2.  Juxtapose silhouettes: the (big) blousy top against a (small) figure-hugging pencil skirt. 
3.  Pull on a patterned sweater in a complementary color.  The neutral grey henley just feels brighter with this lovely yellow floral patterned sweater.
4.  Finish off the look with work-friendly accessories: brown bow-adorned pumps and a work tote with tailored details.

Nom de Plume Checkerboard Dress

Go bold in this strapless yellow and blue plaid dress. We’re loving the high-waisted silhouette, the ever-so-slight tulip skirt, and the unashamedly statement-making pattern.
