#1 A clean cut, no frills dress with sleeves is something I would wear everyday for work if I could. This one is a classic camel color that looks good with most skin tones but is also available in about 5 other colors which I may break down and buy as well. So look for a dress with a length right above the knee and that fits well but not tight for the office. #2 This look is easy for all year around wear so worth the investment. Think in layers! This can be worn alone or with a cardigan over or a blouse under as I've done here. #3 I have an office shoe and a commute shoe. I work where the streets are paved with bricks which hurts any possibility of stilletos so take a neutral flat instead of sneaker that you wont be ashamed of if you run into your boss on the way in. #4 Top off the look with a statement bag. It doesnt have to be designer but with an outfit like this you can go for color or go for a stand out print.

Love that bag! You catch the most amazing sales! That never happens to me! Well, sometimes I catch a great bag at the Nordstrom half yearly sale, but other than that I'm a magnet for expensive, full-priced items. LOL. Plus my body type is hard to shop for anyway. When I lose a couple of pounds that will help a little. Let me know the next time you go shopping!
ReplyDeleteSales require a lot of patience and shopping seems to exasperate the little patience I have. Sometimes I break down nd buy things at full price like a Louis but i pondered over the shape and print for months before I could commit to what I would want or years to come. Trick is I try to save my full priced wish list for birthday and Chritmas gift lists :)
