Disclosure: Thank you to Nordstrom and Collective Voice for sponsoring today’s post. All products were selected, worn, and loved by yours truly.
I recently made the transition back into the workforce after EIGHT years at home with my children. While I am incredibly grateful for those years, I knew that I was ready to get back to an office!
One thing I knew for certain was that my wardrobe needed a major refresh! After being home with my kids for so long, my clothing options were limited.
On my work-from-home days I will absolutely be found in unwashed hair, leggings and an oversized sweater. But I really wanted some versatile pieces to add to my closet for the days that I head to the office. Instantly I thought of Nordstrom as a retailer that could help bring me(and my closet) back to life. I browsed their new arrivals and brought you my top favorite items to wear to the office(or classroom, I see you teachers!) this spring.
I checked my favorite brands: Liverpool, Open Edit , Halogen and Sam Edelman, and had no trouble finding pieces that I loved and that I knew would last.
With Nordstrom’s free shipping and free returns, it was so easy to try a lot of options and send back what didn’t work!

Keeping us organized in alllllllll the ways is our girl, Devon. As our Operations Assistant, Devon organizes the details of the content we’re bringing to Y-O-U to make sure we’re covering all the bases. She analyzes data, prepares presentations for our team meetings and keeps our magic closet stocked with all the things our office needs to run smoothly. [It’s not really magic, but Devon’s organization makes it feel that way!] When she’s not keeping our ducks in a row here at LIY, you’ll find her running – sometimes for fun, sometimes as she’s chasing after her two boys [& husband]!
