Sarah LaFleur is the founder and CEO of MM.LaFleur, a clothing brand designed specifically for professional women.

She calls it the 40/40/20 rule.
"Our 40/40/20 philosophy centers around the idea of building a balanced wardrobe," LaFleur told Business Insider. "As a general rule of thumb, we think an ideal work wardrobe is made up of 40% everyday pieces, 40% elevated pieces, and 20% showstoppers."
