This clothing line wants to solve the biggest problems with shopping for a work wardrobe
Sarah Jacobs
"Just finding [the right clothes] that are appropriate is a research project," she told Business Insider.
Speaking with a friend, Hixon learned about MM.LaFleur, a clothing line designed specifically for women who work in finance, law, or other industries that require a more formal wardrobe in the workplace. The brand creates the type of simple yet elegant designs that appeal to a wide variety of women who want to stay stylish within their office's dress code. Customers can buy products directly from MM.LaFleur's site, in its New York showroom, or in a pre-selected product called the "Bento Box." Prices range from $195 to $325 for a dress, $195 for pants, and $110 to $240 for a top.
Launched by Sarah LaFleur in 2013, the brand seems to have caught on with professional women - last year, its Tory 2.0 dress had a waitlist of over 900.
Now, Hixon is at a turning point - a new mom with a baby of just five months, she's ready to get back into the office with a newly fitted wardrobe. She let Business Insider shadow her while she tried on clothes with stylist Sara Holt in MM.LaFleur's New York showroom.
