The Karen Walker Spring 2014 collection takes a relaxed approach to work and day wear.
Walker's focus centered around laidback silhouettes and tropical hues, such as a delicious sun-bleached pink that will have you day-dreaming of the beach. She managed to redefine "business casual" into something entirely different than what we're used to, but I'm not complaining. Style and comfort rolled into one? Sign me up! I mean, can you imagine strolling into the office dressed in a heavily-printed tunic dress? It depends on your workplace and geographical location, but that's definitely a reality I wouldn't mind living in!
Other stand out pieces from the collection include gauzy harem-style pants, colorful handbags and shiny sneakers.
