Now, let’s check out some of the outfits you can make from the Starter Kit Wardrobe Guide!
SIZING: I’m 5’6″ and usually S/M or 6 in clothes and 8.5 to 9 in shoes.
Neutral-Colored Pants + Colorful Top
First up is a good old classic combo of neutral-colored pants with a solid-colored top and a statement necklace. It’s a super easy combo, but to pull together solid pieces like these, make sure to add accessories!
This top is a fairly affordable Amazon find. It’s pretty thick and works as a versatile basic piece, but it has a few special details to elevate it, such as the 3/4 sleeves, puffed shoulders, and some cute buttons down the back. It comes in 6 colors, which you can see HERE. I wear size 6. There is a thinner version in more of a coral-ish pink HERE. I own this in a different print, and I wear it in size 6. (See the navy printed one on me HERE.)

Colorful Pants + Printed Top
Change up your business casual outfits by breaking out of standard workwear bottoms with pants like these tie-waist paper bag pants. Make workwear even more fun with pants in different colors!
These pants were a PMT favorite from last spring, and they’re still great for this year, too! These are very, very stretchy and comfortable with a fully elastic waistband, and they’re pretty lightweight. They are super affordable, ranging between $16.99 to $26.99 depending on the color and size, but know that the material kind of reflects that. They ARE very comfy, but if you’re looking for pants that feel super high quality, you might want to pass on these. 😆 They come in 13 colors, which you can find HERE. I wear size S.
I shared this top recently in my post 5 Outfits With Black Jeans for Spring. It’s soooo pretty with a beautiful print and gorgeous ruffling at the shoulders and sleeves. It’s very lightweight and has a great drape, so it works nicely in a loose front tuck. Pair it with pants for work, like I did here, or wear it with jeans for a cute, casual outfit. It comes in 3 prints and 3 solid colors. Check them out HERE! I wear size S.

Printed Skirt + Solid Colored Top
Gotta love a cute skirt in the spring! This midi skirt is lightweight, adorable, and affordable at under $25! It has a stretchy elastic waistband for extra comfort, too. Check it out in several prints HERE. I wear size M.
I paired it with the cream version of the ruffle sleeve blouse I shared above for a cute, springy work look. The cream version of this top is a fantastic staple for both workwear and nicer casual outfits. For example, you could pair it with both the grey pants in the first outfit and the olive paper bag waist pants in the second outfit here. It also works great with jeans in a variety of washes. It’s super-duper versatile! Check it out HERE. I wear size S.
If you need close-toed shoes for work, nude pumps are an easy alternative. If you need another layer, throw on a cropped blazer or fitted cardigan. Or, dress it down a little more with a denim jacket for a cute, dressy casual look.
