Look 007: The Performance Bonus Dress w/ All Tied Up Scarf
This look was added in as a last minute addition due to the hard work that went into this collection, hence the name. The scarf was the final bow that wrapped up this collection.

Look 006: The Circle Back Set
The story behind this look is long. I called it the “Circle Back Set” because I had to put this look down and come back to it several times. She is my happy accident project.

Look 005: The Thought Bubble Dress
This dress started as just a random thought one day as I was sketching for the collection, hence the name. Made for the girl who works the room more than she works at her desk.

Look 004: The Office Casual Tee & Work Husband Short
I knew I wanted to do a menswear look with a twist since I started to conceptualize this collection. The Work Husband Short is the perfect combination of business and style.

Look 003: The Work From Home Set (Crewneck, Short, Hood)
This look represents what working from home truly is to me. Getting comfortable. I wanted this look to be something that could be worn for leisure or separately for the office.

Look 002: The Business Shirt & Work From Home Pant
This look was supposed to embody the juxtaposition between work and leisure. With a traditional button up as the top and wide, comfortable sweatpants at the bottom, this look is what true work/life balance is.
