Occasionally when I’m with a client, I show them something that I think is incredibly useful – and they say, “I don’t know how I’d wear that.” But here’s the deal.

So, here are two examples where it’s not about the item, it’s about the outfit. Because if you’re stuck in wearing ‘cute top & jeans’ outfits, this may be exactly what you need.
