Business-Class: Peplums & Plaid, Slacks & Stripes! It’s Just Business…Sprinkled with Collegiate Flair!

Hello, Style Setters!
This season, The WearHouse is bringing you a whole new way to do business casual with a dash of collegiate charm! Welcome to Business-Class: Peplums &

Plaid, Slacks & Stripes—a collection inspired by classic office wear but with a youthful twist that’s perfect for both work and play. Emilia is here to show off these fabulous looks, mixing polished business pieces with the timeless charm of preppy, collegiate style.

Mixing Business with a Touch of Collegiate Style
Think of this look as business wear gone bold. By blending structured peplums with preppy plaid, crisp slacks with playful stripes, this style has all the professionalism you need with an extra dose of personality. This season is all about layering polished pieces with hints of youthful flair, creating looks that are sophisticated yet effortless.

Highlights of Our Business-Class Collection

Peplum Tops: These tops add structure and a flattering silhouette, perfect for pairing with tailored slacks or a high-waisted skirt. The peplum cut creates a refined look with a twist of fun.
Plaid Blazers & Skirts: Plaid is back and ready to add a touch of collegiate prep to your outfit. A plaid blazer layered over a crisp blouse or a pleated plaid skirt can easily transition from the office to an evening out.
Stripes & Patterns: Add a splash of personality with striped blouses, checkered patterns, or a patterned scarf. These accents bring life to your business basics and make a statement without losing that professional edge.
Polished Slacks & Tailored Pants: No business look is complete without a great pair of slacks. Find fitted, versatile styles that can be paired with almost anything, from structured blazers to peplum tops. Classic and flattering, these pants add a powerful punch to your outfit.

Styling Tips for the Business-Class Look

Mix and Match Patterns: Don’t shy away from pairing plaid with stripes or checks with solids. This adds depth and interest to your look, especially when sticking to a cohesive color palette.
Layer for Depth: Combine blazers with scarves, cardigans with collared blouses, or fitted tops with high-waisted slacks for a layered look that works perfectly for fall.
Choose Statement Accessories: Keep it professional but playful with accessories like a statement belt, a structured handbag, or bold loafers.

Selling with Second Story:
We are delighted to buy your quality clothing, shoes, and accessories and offer them for sale in our WearHouse Boutique. Visit us every Friday and Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm to explore our curated collection. Our team carefully examines each item you bring, determining its potential for resale. We'll then email or text you an invoice detailing the items we're interested in and their respective values. You have the choice to accept or decline our offer. If you accept, you'll receive a credit at Gee Loretta - an added bonus! Alternatively, we can issue a check if you prefer.

You can conveniently bring your items to Gee Loretta during our store hours, Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm. Our dedicated team is ready to assist you and guide you through the process.

Preparing Your Items:
To ensure a smooth evaluation process, please make sure your clothes are clean, pressed, and placed on hangers. We accept items in "new" or "like new" condition, free from wrinkles, stains, pet hair, or missing buttons. If you're a smoker, we kindly request that you air out or dry clean your items before bringing them in. Remember, the better your items look, the higher the offer we can make!

At Second Story, we have a keen eye for fashion and appreciate styles that are in excellent condition, ensuring that our customers find only the best in our Boutique. We prioritize unique and high-quality pieces that stand out from the crowd.
In addition to contemporary fashion, we have a soft spot for fun and fabulous vintage pieces. If you have vintage fashion treasures that are still in great shape and have stood the test of time, we would love to see them. Vintage fashion adds a touch of nostalgia and character to our collection, making it even more diverse and exciting for our discerning clientele.

Donations and Giving Back:
If we determine that some of your items are not suitable for resale, you can let us know whether you'd like them returned or donated. Donated items find a new purpose at the Annex, a local boutique we helped establish to support women reentering the workforce. Nancy and Joy, the amazing ladies behind the Annex, help us match previously loved fashion with someone who will give them a Second Story.
