{Written while sipping my third Starbucks cafe mocha of the day out of a pretty normal looking red cup π} Hello dearest ones! How was your week? Did it fly right by? For me it sure did! Lets talk about suits for a minute. I have a love hate relationship with them. I find very few that are both professional and stylish (and when I do, I buy them fast). It seems like either the fit is boxy and sort of shapeless or its so fitted and short that I simply cant wear it to a professional event. So what are we to do? First, you need to find the right suit. Lately, J Crew, Ann Taylor (I used to shop here a lot when I was in law school and I have no idea why I stopped-- they have the cutest work separates), Nordstrom and Banana Republic are my go-to suit stops. I think you should try to build your professional wardrobe so that it includes a black (shocker!), navy and grey suit (I also like sheath dresses with a matching blazer if you can find them.) After you have your suit, I like to pick a statement piece-- shoes? bag? Maybe a chunky bracelet? I personally like to keep the lines of a suit simple--I don't like big bold necklaces around my neck with suits (totally personal preference- I am more of an arm full of bracelets girl.) This suit here has sort of a soft peplum shape, which I paired with stacked heels. Sometimes, a little stiletto doesn't look right and a suit calls out for something more substantial, you know? I grabbed my bag, my coffee ( literally, the greatest addition to any outfit hands down) and out the door I went! Do I tell you enough how much I appreciate you stopping by for a read? Because I sure do! Thank you thank you! Happy almost weekend, loves. Sweetly- Michelle
