Thank you for visiting my channel, Elle Florence. I'm a Vancouver based young professional by day, fashion blogger by night.
I film videos on fashion that works for real life, including work outfit of the day videos, hauls, handbag unboxing videos, product reviews, and makeup tutorials. - Jak na to + styl
For all the broke uni grads just starting out, Value Village is actually a great place to find high quality work basics. They have a ton of brand new or barely worn shirts and blazers from J.Crew and Banana Republic for under 15$. And since a lot of these pieces are classics, they won't even look outdated. I went there when I started my first internship, and bought a whole work wardrobe for $60. ^__^ Just throwing it out there!
I work in corporate management, and I find that Ann Taylor is the prefect start. I keep going back, and I am obsessed with their ponte-knit slim leg trouser pant; I must have them in approx. 6 colors now. Also I am loving J.Crew blazers and/or sweaters, when they have a "sale", good quality and good deals.
I've gotten most of my work wear from Kohls. I couldn't afford hire end brands when I was starting my more professional career. Most of the items are actually pretty good quality too.
You mean 'high' end!
Or, 'higher' end.
Thrifting! I've found some great basics under brands like Anne klein, Banana Republic, Talbots, Christian Dior, And clothes that mimicking Chanel and Marc Jacobs.
Elle it's so nice to have found your CZcams Chanel. It's hard to find girls that do authentic videos these days bc everyone is getting sponsored or paid to give opinions. I just want to say thank you and express my joy for having found someone like you.
Great video. I worked from home for 2 decades and now working in a business casual environment so this was very helpful.
you're videos are a life saver! I'm starting a new job soon in a law firm and your videos have saved me so much time!
Excellent tips. Thanks. For lower price points, I've had good luck with dresses from Zara, Calvin Klein and Simons. Blazers from Forever 21 (less so recently) and trousers from Dynamite. Love your necklace!
Great video. I would just add a nice quality handbag to the list. :)
YESSSS all the way to the necklace!! Absolutely stunning.
lol I was just thinking that your necklace that you were wearing was gorgeous, then BOOM-you tell us you made them! I was actually liking those more than the Mikimoto.
I work at an Estate Agents and wear a uniform, I love the LK Bennett Stila shoes, have 2 pairs they are the best! Also wear pearl stud earrings with everything. You are such a beautiful young lady, very classy , and sweet xx
Pearls that you are wearing are really gorgeous! Btw, I'm looking forward to more of week of outfits video. ^_^
Elle, thank you for sharing the wardrobe essential! Everything definitely needed!!
Elle this is amazing timing! I work at my college currently but I'm starting the hunt for a paralegal internship next semester. I have been shopping for the past two weeks to start a professional wardrobe. I managed to find three suits, two from Tahari and a jacket from Nordstrom. You're an inspiration and I've been watching you for a year as I slowly transition into the professional life. Thank you for making such great content and being so passionate and informative.
Thanks from Florida!
This is a wonderful video. I like everything about it -- your look, your suggestions, and your rationale for each piece. I also appreciate that you got straight to the point and didn't ramble on needlessly as so many vloggers do, and THANK YOU for recognizing that nude is a concept that varies with skin color, and not a specific shade of beige. Definitely going to subscribe!!!!
Fabulous video rich with ideas and inspirations! Thank you Elle!
The pearls are super pretty! I'm definitely interested in a jewelry line like that.
This video was right on time for me as I'm trying to transition from a more casual job to a corporate one. Thank you! The necklace you made is great!
I really enjoy your overall style. A lot of classics!!!
I really enjoyed this video. thank you so for sharing your tips x
I feel like you're an older sister helping me get ready.. thank you so much for your videos. 💓
The necklace you are wearing was my fave. Great job!
I'm so glad that you post videos like this!!
I was hoping to find something like this on CZcams. I've been on Pinterest but your channel is all I needed!
Thank you so much for posting this video. As always very informative and helpful. I'm trying to build my office wardrobe and I will definitely be using this video as a guide. Absolutely love your style!💞
I just started working in an office and am in the transition stage from college to work. Your videos are really helpful!
love how affordable everything is! lol.. but really, this is cool, helpful ideas
Love your videos, especially the ones that you talk about work outfits because I work in corporate and it's difficult to be creative with what I wear to the office when everyone is on the more conservative side.
P.S. Your pearl necklaces look great! :)
Amazing video! I'm graduating from college in a few weeks to start an office job, and this video was so informative for me and my impending wardrobe transition!
Great video! I subscribed after I found your gift guide! Keep em coming, you have great content
The endslate is great, I love it :)
Love your style so much, gorgeous!
This are so helpful!! Thank u!!
Thank you for this video, I found it very helpful. Please tell us more about the necklace you were wearing.
like ur black high heels have u evcer wear the louboutin heels to work if so how high do u have to walk alot
Hi Elle, this was a helpful video. I'm going to look at those LK Bennet shoes as I could do with a new pair for the office. We have a more business casual attire and a lot of people wear jeans. I personally don't feel comfortable wearing those to work so I stick to black pants or a dress/skirt if I am attending a meeting. Jewellery is a great way to dress up an outfit. Loved your necklace! Would you think about doing a video to show us how to make a necklace ourselves?
Thank you Elle, this is a great informational series and it fits a niche. I study law at the University of Toronto and am a budding criminal defense lawyer. I really enjoy watching your videos for inspiration. I think that many women feel some anxiety about how to maintain their personal style and express their creativity while building a career in a legal environment, and I am no exception. I enjoy dressing well, and like you, I consider professional outfits to mean more than owning a single suit; dressing now means composing a broader and more flexible wardrobe out of separate “suiting options”, and it means combining low and high in a way that is both practical and fresh. This is why I asked a question about when (whether) feminine details are appropriate, and how to wear them.Not to be boarish, but I will answer my own question: I think the answer is very context- specific, given that there are so many options out there, and so many types of lawyers, so in practice not all fashion options will be a “hit” with some associates. The plethora of options only makes dressing for work a potentially risky but also very rewarding activity. I think the economics of dressing tends to forces the average woman lawyer to avoid conceptual femininity, but paradoxically, in law as in fashion, there are cultural rewards for conceptional femininity if it is done well because it pushes you above the average, and the way you dress is supposed to reflect your intellectual sensibilities, and capability.
My question was relevant but probably would have been expressed in a “how to” form rather than “should you” form that is more appropriate for youtube. It wasn’t meant to be a leading question, (crim law joke) although it appears to be! I wanted to say that I really love how you express your style. I really really love the more traditionally "feminine details" especially when contrasted with “masculine” details, and I notice that you combine them in interesting ways that I had never thought to do , and that makes them very wearable for the office. I am excited to see if I can find a way of expressing both my style and my substance in a criminal law context.
Love the necklace you made!
Subscribed! I browsed so many videos like this one and this is the most helpul. I like that you included the jewellry and outewear!
Sweet Elle, your hair best than ever here!
I enjoyed your video on work wear basics! I am always looking for ideas on how to dress better for work.
You have amazing taste! I love all your pieces
this was a great/very informative video.thanks for sharing.
I can't believe I've just found your channel! You are exactly the type of person I need! I came from a lab job to now working in a professional setting where I need to dress business casual everyday. I live in Toronto and I don't know how to dress my crop ankle length pants to walk to work in the winter. When I'm there I've been slipping into my heels but how can I still be stylish in the winter without freezing?
Great video. Very helpful. Couldn't help staring at the necklace you made. I hope you do get to come up with your line of Jewellery as I would be interested to find out more about it. Please do have international shipping for them when the time comes :)
Thank you! Pinkie promise, I will as it makes me so annoyed when brands either don't have international shipping or its prohibitively expensive :)
Looking back at this comment and feeling so proud of NouvellePearl.com!
Love the Burberry trench!! Such a classic 👍🏻
Great video!! Love your tips!
You are perfectly put together.
Great information, well put together! Thanks!
Love the necklace and this video !!
Great video! ❤️
Hi Elle!
Love your videos so much! I'm starting my first internship next semester so I was wondering if you could do a video with like tips and tricks or what to bring to an internship, anything really!
Thank you!
Great video! thanks for sharing these tips. I can't wait for your jewelry line to come out. :-)
I love pearls and your necklace! I would be interested if you started a line of jewelry. I love your style!
Hi Elle, Where did you get the sweater you're wearing in your video? I love it.
Elle, How do you were your nude pumps in the winter??? (like...with tights and skirt...etc.) can you offer advise please?
Amazing video. This is such a helpful video. Added to my Favs
I rarely wear any of the full length tights as i find the stayup/holdups tights/stockings much more comfortable. You should do a lookbook on how you style stayup tights. Would love to see your outfits ideas.
Here in Australia I really love Veronika Maine and Cue for suit wear. Not sure if you can get these brands in Canada x
love the heels girl
Great video, thanks! Love your style! :)))
Love your videos. Very practical
How do you wash silk shirts? :) Any tips?
Very helpful video. Thank you!!
Great video!!!!! It's really helpful. Could you put a list of all the brands that you covered? Really love the wool coat!!!
Very well done. I have my mother's pearls and my ex-mother in laws. Please wear your grandmother's often and enjoy them.
I just found you on CZcams and I have to say that I binged your last several videos. 😊 As a young professional who is trying to move away from "fast fashion" and into more investment pieces, this was a great video. I LOVE how to explain your rationale behind buying this or that and justifying the price based on the item's value in terms of quality, durability, versatility, etc, not just "because it's so beautiful and amazing and I had to have it!" Haha. You have great taste and I'm looking forward to more videos from you!!
Hello, I love your work tips, especially as I am new to the professional world. I was wondering if you could do a video on how you take care of your wardrobe, especially the more difficult fabrics?
I did a couple of months back :)
This is so helpful, esp for someone who is starting to build up a corporate wardrobe. Thank you so much! PS: I adore your make up
Thanks this video was so helpful for a young professional who hasn't got a clue about fashion!
Wonderful video! Do Cole Haan pumps run true to size? Thank you in advance :D
i so love the black patent leather heels what size do wear and you are so cute
Great video!
Great video. Thank you
More videos like these please!
Thank you x
I was just wondering where I could buy the necklaces you're wearing! They look great. 😊
Just found your channel and subscribed. A very thorough and stylish vid.
Hi Elle, do you think black leather pumps make girls look older than patent ones? What would you choose fresh out of college?
Great!
excellent style, what is your job title at work
i so love the black one what size are they and u are so cute
Bonjour, merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo 😊
Love this : )
i so love the first ones what size are they and u are so cute
I'm slowly building up a professional wardrobe, I'm only early in my degree at university so I have plenty of time. I'm going to be a teacher so I don't have to be too business formal but the school I want to work at is one with a more strict dress code (also the school I went to high school at, which is a private school).
Thanks from Toronto.
What color lipstick are you wearing in this video?
Are you in the US? If so I was wondering if you shop in Portland and not have to pay sales tax on luxury items? Thanks!
In the U.K. other quality brands include Hobbs - great shoes. On a budget, for decent quality you still can't beat M&S where similar heels cost around £50.
Great video 👍
I'm really curious about your profession. It seems like it must pay very well to afford such lovely DVF and other designer clothes, or you are incredibly lucky finding sales. Beautiful wardrobe!
Lawyer I think?
And living in Van in expensive
She works in the legal field
i like this video! what do you do for living?
I have been looking for chanel-inspired blazer for a while
Awesome video! I have to break out my silver Tiffany ball jewelry, I haven't work them in years... Also, I'm from Boston and couldn't help but get excited that Mark Wahlberg is outside your house right now! Lucky!
Great, thorough detail ... have you thought of writing a book on this? (would need more fleshing out of what you've covered here or expanding into other topics such as athleisure, dressing for various physiques, etc.) Interesting what you said about NYC & London vs. West Coast. When shopping for a blazer here in Phoenix the salesman told me guys in Miami are more conservative & wear full suits pretty consistently despite the heat (polo shirt & slacks is de rigueur around here).
Love these videos -- and the pearl necklaces you're wearing are stunning! Are you still making your other necklaces? You're a talented jewelry designer!
No, they didn't fit my style or lifestyle anymore so I took a break until I could feel inspired again :)
Well I absolutely love the direction you're heading with the new ones!
I I Have a orientation and they want us to dress business wear. I'm only 17. but is it okay if I wear Black Suede Wedges with black dress pants ???
+hi ok yeah that should be perfect, as long as they are closed toed and simple. All the best!
Hi again, I am splurging on all your vids lately. This one was really great, in that you focused on top wardrobe pieces for work and you keep it classy. I am very interested and I would love to see more. It's important that you mention cheaper alternatives as a lot of working women have so many responsibilities for their dollars, and the challenge is to purchase well and spend well and to build their closets slowly and with intention. Your vids are a great tool and you have the perfect blend of charisma and knowledge as host. Kudos for taking your passion and sharing it. Honest tips and advice without ego is very refreshing. Keep it up. c xx
