I wasn’t really a Theory girl until this month. I work from home, which means I don’t need work clothes, and for the past couple of years, I’ve rarely needed professional-looking separates: I can usually get buy with skinny jeans and boots or a nice dress for 99% of my cool-weather, dressier occasions.
