Capsule wardrobe: Career + casual for working from home

Mamas who work at home, such as full-time telecommuters and entrepreneurs, have a unique wardrobe challenge.
Although they may be at home most of the day, and therefore free to wear mostly casual outfits, the week might find them meeting with clients or otherwise requiring much dressier options.
This capsule wardrobe combines a bit of both. Wear just the casual pieces, like this printed blouse and bootcut jeans, when you’re going nowhere but your home office. Wear just the career clothes when you need to dial it all the way up to professional.
(You could even wear the career clothes at home, too; I picked pieces in knits and looser silhouettes for wear-anywhere comfort.)
What about an emergency workwear situation, like the meeting day that got changed on you last-minute, or finally getting a call from that potential contributor to your just-launched business?
First, keep the blazer clean and handy. If you only have a few minutes, throw it on top of just about any other combo, swap the casual flats
If you have a bit more time? The wrap dress is your best friend. Easy to wear, flatters most bodies, and goes on in a flash.
And a sharp-fitting trench coat on top kicks every outfit up a notch.
