Ashley Brooke Nicholas

from the office to the dinner table

As a fashion-obsessed twenty-something in the work force, it can be challenging to create outfits for the office that are stylish and appropriate for the professional setting. Since I work in a creative field, it’s important for me to create a look that’s polished and put together without appearing old-fashioned. I recently picked up a few new pieces from the fall fashion lines at Sears that help me achieve a modern look for business meetings, but the items are so cute that I’ve been wearing them after work as well! Keep reading to see how I mix and match my new Sears finds to create a look that seamlessly transfers from the office to a night out with friends.

My new fall office staple is this tweed skirt from Sears. The chic black and white pattern provides an interesting detail to the outfit without being too flashy. This week I’ve loved pairing my skirt with button-down blouses, and this teal top adds a fun pop of color to the outfit. I think the rolled sleeves and unique neckline keep this blouse interesting while still remaining professional. 

I paired this outfit with my new Studio S handbag from Sears, which is the perfect size for toting around your laptop, notebook, planner, and any other office essentials. The black leather and gold detailing is timelessly chic, and the buckle accents give the bag a modern edge. This bag and my gold chain link bracelet are two office accessories that I’ll be wearing every day of fall .

I like to keep my makeup simple and subdued in professional settings, but that doesn’t mean I can’t add a pop of sparkle with my accessories. These sparkly flower stud earrings were quickly added to my cart at Sears, and they provide the perfect amount of glitz to the outfit. 

Also, did you check out my new Kardashian Kollection black patent pumps? Go buy them- immediately. The classic shape and color are the ideal addition to any fall outfit, and they’re actually really comfortable!

While I’d definitely wear my first outfit after work, I decided to mix things up a bit for an after-work dinner date with my husband. My outfit change took only five minutes, including time to change my shirt, add a few accessories, and touch-up my makeup!

The first step was to trade my professional blouse for a sheer navy lace top that shows the perfect amount of skin while still remaining classy. It’s amazing how something as simple as changing your shirt can change the entire look of an outfit!


While the tweed skirt looks traditional paired with my teal button-down blouse, the contrast of the navy lace against the black-and-white tweed gave the pattern a more modern look.

 I added this gold chain link necklace to highlight my top’s beautiful neckline. Gold link jewelry is another fall staple for me. The classic design adds the perfect accent to any outfit, so it can easily transition from day to night!

 Of course, I also had to add a little bit of drama to my makeup for the events of the evening. A quick swipe of eyeliner, an extra coat of mascara, and a slightly brighter lip turned my subtle morning makeup into a bolder nighttime look.

I’m such a fan of both of these looks, and I know that my new pieces from Sears are going to be weekly staples in my fall wardrobe. I’m sure most people would be shocked to find out that I purchased all of the items for both of these outfits for under $150!  If you’re looking for a few new fall fashion items, don’t forget to check out your local Sears. I’ve purchased so many items from their store recently, and I’m always impressed with the quality of their products. Sears is quickly becoming one of my favorite stores because the prices are phenomenal, and I can always find fashion items that I love! I’m going to be spending the next few hours flipping though the digital Sears catalog, so click here if you’d like to see even more great fall fashion!
