Outfit of the Day: Animal Instinct

Can you guess which items of my look are thrifted? Well, you probably remember seeing this denim jacket before. But the dress is secondhand as well! Y’all once COVID-19 is over, I promise you Understated Clothing will be expanding in what we offer. Just wait on it.

But back to the look. I know some people would be hesitant to wear so much animal print to work, especially if you work in education. Let me explain why this outfit is the exception.

First, the dress isn’t fitted. I would have preferred a size small in this dress but you take what you can get when thrifting. Also by adding more masculine pieces like a denim jacket and chunky combat boots, which are Steven Madden by the way, makes the look more casual and less sexy.

Balance is key when dressing for work. Be mindful of your environment and dress code but still allow your unique style to shine through.
