24/7 Comfort Fashion for Work and Play

August 27, 2019

When it comes to getting dressed for work, being comfortable is a top priority!  No matter how much you love your job, sometimes it can feel like a grind.  Wearing a cute and comfortable outfit can help on those days you wish you were at the beach and not at a desk!  When Leota fashions asked us to try some of their clothing, we took a look at their selection and immediately started ordering.  Leota clothing makes perfect workwear because the clothing is cute and, almost, more importantly, it’s comfortable!  We are also psyched that we have a 20% discount code just for our readers with code barelyBs.

LEOTA

What first struck us when ordering our Leota items was the fun mix of patterns, along with the adorable basics.  I was drawn to the colorful patterns Leota offers, while Jen chose some of Leota’s great neutral pieces.  Leota is flattering for all body types and carries sizes XS-3L!  My favorite thing about Leota is the machine washable, no-wrinkle fabric.  Literally, you can ball these dresses up and they will still look absolutely perfect with no wrinkles and the shape still intact.  This makes for a great traveling dress, whether for work or play!

 

The Perfect Wrap Dress

Leota is known for their perfect wrap dress.  Jen and I both ordered a wrap dress and were thrilled with the fit.  This dress is truly perfect and flattering on everyone!  Available in several different lengths, including mini and maxi, we both chose the classic above the knee length. One of the best things about Leota’s perfect wrap dress is the fact that it won’t come unwrapped!  The faux wrap style give the look of a wrap, while keeping things functional!  This length made it super work appropriate and we felt really comfortable.  Fits pretty TTS, if not a tad big.  I’m wearing a XS and Jen is in a S, but would have preferred a XS.

PERFECT WRAP DRESS | SHOES

I loved the pattern of this dress!  My favorite part was the striped grosgrain ribbon mixed with the floral pattern.  The fun ruffle at the bottom was so cute too!

Jen’s classic black wrap dress is a closet staple, for sure!  The three-quarter length sleeves give this classic little black dress an updated look and the material is soft and comfortable.  One of the best features of Leota clothing is all of the pieces are machine washable because who has time for a trip to the dry cleaners?!  The stretch, jersey-like material is flattering on all shapes and sizes.

And how fun are these shoes?!  We loved the sass the leopard strap added to this classic LBD. I love how professional and put together Jen looks and she loves how easy this dress is to wear!

A Great Jumpsuit

It’s no secret that we love a great jumpsuit!  However, Jen and I both have long torsos so finding a jumpsuit with the proper fit can be challenging.  Once again, Leota somehow manages to make a magical jumpsuit that is great for all body types.  We love the v-neck style and the fact it has pockets!  Jen styled the gathered elastic waist with a belt and we loved the way it looked. Like all of Leota’s clothing, the jumpsuit features their special no-wrinkle, stretch fabric that takes wash-and-wear and comfort to the next level.

The Perfect Fall Dress

Jen also ordered the Angelina Dress in this beautiful olive green color.  The fabric is lightweight and flowy and we thought the olive green was just the right shade for Fall.  The aysmmetrical hem give the dress a modern look, while still being work appropriate.  We loved the versatility of this dress as it is great for work, but looks equally appropriate for a lunch date or Happy Hour.

DRESS | PURSE

Jen chose to style this with a long necklace so you can see the cute, gathered waistline. But, it would look equally cute with an animal print or brown leather belt around the gathered waistline for a different look.

Polished and Pretty Sheath Dress

I was drawn to the fall florals of this dress, which is a limited edition print Leota is offering this Fall.  I love a sheath dress and Leota’s easy to wear, jersey fabric makes this one flattering and comfortable.  This sheath was a tad longer than I like my dresses, but it’s also available in Leota’s infamous wrap style.

For Women Who Do It All

One of 0ur favorite things about Leota is that is founded and designed by women.  Every detail is designed by women who understand that we need clothing that can keep up with the busy lifestyle of today’s modern women.  Check out the Leota website to shop these fun looks, don’t forget 20% off with code barelyBs!

Socially Responsible Fashion

While this is a sponsored post, all thoughts, opinions, and fun accessories are our own.  We love parterning with ethical brands like Leota.  Did you know that fashion is the 2nd most polluting industry after oil and gas?  Most brands destroy dead stock, while Leota gives away every unsold item to women in need.  Leota also donates 5% to causes that matter most to women.  We love supporting brands that empower women!

Seems like the world operated at a much slower pace back then.  Remember how cool MTV was, especially during spring break?! This MTV shirt reminds me of my youth, and I’m just going to appreciate the slower pace for the next few weeks while we fight this nasty 🦠. Stay safe and stay healthy out there.
