What's Working this Week

As we quickly transition from "winter" to official spring, I'm just as quickly ditching the thought of tights and showing a little more leg at work.  I have some who think work=panty hoes no matter the weather but I'm not one of those people.

Reed Krakoff "Boxer tote", Nine West "Sweetgirl" pumps via Nordstrom, J Crew Star-dip ballet flats, J Crew Memo Dress in Warm Sienna, Banana Republic button back shirt in black

 STYLE ME BY NUMBERS...
#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.
