Business appropriate doesn't mean blaaaa
When: Monday May 3, 2010
What:
White collar shirt: Conway (Panama)
Brown blazer: ? (Panama)
Beige skirt: El Titan (Panama)
Brown thin belt: Madison (Panama)
Plaid pumps: Walmart
Red Liz Claiborne purse: TJ Max
Where: One of my end-of-semester business presentations
Comments:
Once I get to that time of the semester where I have to do all my final presentations, I always have problems finding what to wear. I know I am supposed to dress business appropriate, but I also want to wear something that is true to my fashionable side. So today I put some extra thought into it and I really like what I came up with! I just thought: "there is no reason why dressing business appropriate means dressing blaaaaa". So I came up with this outfit that is both professional (because of the blazer and neutral colors) and fashionable too (because of the plaid shoes and colorful purse). Yai for finding a solution!
How do you make outfits that are business appropriate?

you really are absolutely incredible how you invent these styles and new attitude. I couldnt agree with you more. The outfit is simply outstanding as it accomplishes both business and alive. You make it so easy to match the colors ... the red lipstick, earings, purse and shoes. the dark brown jacket, belt and even shoe straps. you are a delight to see. Your outfit is appropriate for business, doesnt mean blaaa, but does create awe! jgm
ReplyDeleteI love the brown blazer! and the plaid shoes are the perfect pop of personality. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great look on you! :)
ReplyDeletegreat look !!
ReplyDeleteI often pair a blazer with a more causal dress or skirt to go to the office, but I'm fortunate to be in an office where the dress code is very lax, so I can get away with a lot...
ReplyDeleteI do love that you mixed lots of color and patterns into your neutrals to step outside of that "strictly business" uniform.
Chic on the Cheap
Agreed, the whole look is wonderful! And the shoes ... not only are they perfect for this outfit, but I now need a pair as well.
ReplyDeleteAll those red accents from your bright red lipstick, earrings, and purse gives this neutral color outfit just the right touch of color. I agree it looks great on you. To think I wasnt going to let you buy those shoes. Now I love them with all the outfits you have made using them!!! Well I guess this is one time I was wrong on the fashion advice. LOL
ReplyDeleteCute purse and shoes! I just love this outfit. So not blaaaa. :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my blog and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it!
