MM. LaFleur is my favorite shop for work attire.  When I find a staple dress or top, I buy it in multiple colors.  Recently, they brought back some of the most-beloved styles from their past.  Here are the best pieces from their collection.

I love MM. LaFleur because the pieces are well-made, come in a great selection of colors, and they’re designed for working women.  Many dresses have sleeves.  Some have pockets.  The styles are tailored, flattering, and forgiving.  And most styles also come in plus-sizes.

It’s incredible to me how far this female-founded company has gone since I met Sarah LaFleur five years ago.  I remember standing with her in a hotel kitchen at the St. Regis talking about her goals for the brand. So much hope, so much hustle, and every season, her vision continues to come to life.  From a few ladies in a tiny studio to an empire.

This style is the Akiko.  The pencil skirt bottom is wool and the slightly draped top is crepe.  And it’s my favorite.  I own it in three colors.

Take this black dress, add a cool belt, and suddenly it’s a cocktail dress.  I’ve worn it on dates.  I’ve worn it to court.  I’ve worn it to funerals.  There is nothing this dress can’t do.

The Taylor 2.0 dress is the perfect layering piece.  I own it in green, and I just bought it in this berry hue.  It is so slimming and chic.

Add a blazer or a long jacket for serious work days.  I’ve also worn it over gauzy, long sleeve tops.  When I wear it solo, I add a brooch to one of the shoulders.

The Casey dress is what you need if you carry your weight in your middle.  The gathers conceal and define the waist.  The v-neck looks great under a blazer.

Like the Akiko, the Casey can be worn for many occasions.  It’s also very comfortable.  I wear it when the last thing I want is to dress up, but I have to.  My one caution would be to size up if you’re pear shaped.  The skirt is a bit snug.

I’ve posted the Morandi sweater a half-dozen times, and I’ll keep singing this song until I’m hoarse.

You can wear it open or belted.  It drapes beautifully.  This sweater is so very warm and versatile.  I’m actually wearing it right now with leggings.

The Beverly top is the perfect layering blouse.  It comes in ivory, grey and pale mauve (the mauve is my favorite).  The neckline looks great under a blazer, and the voluminous tie gives you a lot of options.  It’s the blouse you’ll reach for day after day.

This Gates top can be worn cowl neck, draped dramatically or off-the-shoulder.  It’s an elegant work look with a wide-leg trouser or a pencil skirt.  For a night out, add a pair of dramatic black earrings.  I haven’t bought this one yet, but I feel that day coming.

LaFleur years ago and wrote a post about them.  They found me because of that article, and we developed a partnership.  I’ve received a few free dresses, but I’ve purchased more dresses than I’ve been gifted.  But I don’t promote them for free things, I promote them because I love them.
