Lyndsey Johnson
Lyndsey Johnson

Lyndsey Johnson, 22, is a brand new Little Rock resident. She moved here Friday from Stillwater, Okla., where she graduated from Oklahoma State University. Today is her first day at work as an assistant buyer in training, which explains her business attire.

“I had to be business-wear work appropriate,” she said.

Fresh out of the college and a newbie to the business world, Johnson looks just the part.

the look:

Johnson wears a ruffled white blouse tucked into a light tweed pencil skirt. The silky, flowy top is very feminine compared to the tweed, streamlined skirt. Johnson says, “I like little feminine touches.” Her shirt and tiny watch are those delicate touches in this ensemble. The volume and femininity of the shirt is balanced by the slim cut and fabric of the skirt, making her strong yet dainty all at once.

The large leather bag over Johnson's shoulder is just the right size purse to be accommodating but not back breaking. The most interesting thing inside: a pair of black patent leather flats she carries just in case her heels become too much during the day. “I always bring flats,” she said. The classic creamy color of the bag reveals Johnson's appeal for vintage-inspired clothing and makes for great every day wear.

Quickly before the photo is taken, Johnson digs her high heel patent leather Mary Janes out of her purse and trades them for the flats she had already changed into for the day. “I was in pain,” she admitted. The flats are embellished with a small patent leather flower. Both pairs of shoes work well with the outfit; the Mary Janes are slightly more professional, while the flats are more feminine. “For the meeting at 3, I'll probably put the heels back on,” she said.
