I really like the capsule wardrobe posts that you have been doing. Would you consider doing one for a jeans work environment? Our company recently switched policies to allow casual dress everyday, as long as the jeans are dressier. My last three places of employment have allowed jeans as long as they were dressed up.… Continue Reading Ask Allie: Denim-based Office Capsule Wardrobe
