This is a great look for the office according to Mulroney. The bright red hue is very on-trend for fall, and having the blazer in a bold color will help you work it into your wardrobe more efficiently, she added.

She recommends mixing and matching it in different ways, but you can't go wrong with classic black pants and a white shirt and printed heels, like these by Aldo.

Mulroney recommends cuffing the pant legs a little to make it look more casual, and pairing it with a black turtleneck, another on-trend piece for the fall. Then you can feel fashionable but still comfortable for a weekend of shopping or brunching with friends.

Look 3: Robe coat and floral-patterned wrap dress

Take your look from day to night by pairing the robe coat with a brightly patterned dress and ankle boots. The robe coat instantly becomes like a sexy trench coat, perfect for a date.

Mulroney recommends shopping for colors that work with what you already have in your closet.

Look 4: Floral-patterned wrap dress, oversized sweater, heeled combat boots

If you're hoping for a look for a more casual night out, Mulroney recommends taking the same floral-patterned dress and and dressing it down a bit by pairing it with an oversized sweater and heeled combat boots. This is a great look for a casual night out with the girls.

Look 5: Oversized sweater, vegan leather leggings and a black mule heel

Leather is a huge trend for fall but can be costly, so a great alternative is vegan leather such as these leggings that can be worn day and night. Pairing them with an oversized sweater and heels can look fun and sexy, without showing too much skin.

Look 6: Vegan leather leggings, black turtleneck, red blazer and leopard heels

This final look brings the capsule full circle by pairing that red blazer from the first look and elevating it with the vegan leather leggings and leopard heels. This is a perfect way to look both understated and cool or if you need an outfit that you can take straight from work to a social event afterwards, according to Mulroney.
