Watch Jordan’s makeover experience online.Who: Jordan Rossman
Intern at Fallon Worldwide advertising agency.
The Story: Jordan has just finished her college career and is interning at a prestigious ad agency, so she’s building a professional wardrobe that fits her petite frame and feels age-appropriate.
Style Inspiration: “My style icons would be Jennifer Aniston and Lauren Conrad,” Jordan says. “I love Jennifer’s professional yet trendy style, and Lauren keeps a young feel to her looks. Both always look classy, sexy, and sharp.”
Our Stylist’s Take: “With this makeover, my object was to take simple blazers, skirts, and blouses and give them new life. I wanted to take business day looks that could be easily transformed into cocktail hour. This look is definitely business chic meets lady about town.”
Word to the Wise: Belts are key for day-to-evening looks. Change up the look by simply removing the blazer and rebelting over the layers underneath. Placing the belt at the waist makes her legs look a mile long. Taking a risk on accessories is an easy way to look for fashion-forward in the workplace.
