My suit rules

 

I got all gussied up today and put on a suit!  I actually have a ton of suits and separates, but I for some reason I hardly wear them of late.  I might, however, start to wear them more often since I really enjoyed feeling so professional today.  I know… I pretty much always dress in professional attire, but there’s just something empowering about putting on a suit.

My suit rules:

1. Must be a perfect fit.  Should sit close to the body, provide structure, and flatter figure without being too tight or revealing.
2. I always look for fun details in a suit, like stitching, buckles, bows, studs – whatever catches your eye. 
3. Make sure the suit is a quality piece of clothing - good fabric / cut / etc…
4. Add accessories to showcase personality.  Funky shoes and a bold necklace do the trick for me.

Weekend Wear

Dress: Mystree.  Necklace: Macy’s.  Scarf: Gift.  Jacket: Mixit.  Boots: Giani Bini.  Leggings: Apt. 9.

My “bubblegum” necklace!

I adore this zipper dress from PB&J Boutique, but actually find it quite short for my 5’8” frame.  When standing, the length is okay, but if I have to sit, bend, or move whatsoever… it’s just not really appropriate.  My solution – leggings!  Yep, my weekends seem to filled with them of late and that’s perfectly fine by me.  I honestly feel like I’m in my pajamas when I wear them I’m so comfortable (and you know I love that!).

Another fabulous fall addition – a light jacket and a scarf.  This combo can be mixed and matched a million  ways and will always add interest and definition to an outfit (plus added warmth for these chilly Fall days).

Girly Girl

Navy Tie Top: Forever XXI.  Short Sleeve Cardi: Macy’s.  Belt: Gifted.  Skirt: Mossimo.  Shoes: Fioni.

 

It’s hard to tell in the above pic, but this little sweater has the most precious rosettes!  I always adore those feminine soft details.  Silk bow, rosettes, pleated skirt, pink belt, ruffled polka dot peep toes… yep, definitely a girly girl today.
