Who spends way too long every morning staring at their closet wondering what to wear and then grabbing the first thing you see because you can’t be bothered? It’s hard to be the stylish boss babe you want to be and have the time to plan out every outfit when you work five days a week. It’s a struggle enough to wake up early to get your butt to the gym. Lucky for you, we’re here to inspire you to be more creative with your workwear attire so that you can look and feel the part of the hardworking, stylish woman you are! We’ve pulled together some of our favourite workwear appropriate pieces inspired by our favourite bosses ruling on TV. 

Kelsey Peters, Younger 

Kelsey Peters is the millennial answer to fun workplace fashion. Don’t leave your personality out the door just because you work in a more corporate environment. She’s not afraid to be herself and her sense of style is just as confident and feisty as her #bossbabe attitude. She loves a flowy, floral top and dress but also switches it up by rocking a classic leather jacket and shows off her figure with leather pants and killer heels. It’s a favourite combo!

Her go-to coat to throw on when she rushes out to solve a crisis is the classic trench coat. It’s practical but also makes you look powerful and ready to take on the world!
