Work environments are changing, so has our dress code. But navigating the employee handbook terminology can sometimes be hard. And then there's that awkwardness when you want to dress one way but feel it goes against the company vibe. We've noticed the changes! Our customers are asking for different work uniforms, they've come to us with the "deer caught in headlights" look when their company has gone to jeans optional and we know the importance of dressing for the career you want. We've helped navigate countless women through career changes and fashion trends. Just consider it part of our civic duty.

Each market always leaves an impression on me and Spring 2017 did not disappoint. I recall the precision of design. The perfect ankle pant, pegged or flared just so.

What makes quality in clothes? Quality clothes are items that season to season measure up to expectations of wear.

These quality details are ones that I have observed and learned more about since I started here at Jophiel in August. The idea of buying higher quality clothes is one that I...
