In the wake of the whole stock market dipping I decided to go to my local Fidelity Investments building and see what I can do to protect and/or increase my assets. When I walk in the front door I am greeted by several women (and surrounded by several old men talking about their diversity portfolios) dressed in the same outfit. The gray or black trouser, the comfy black loafer and the boxy jacket. I was bored with the look. I am interested in working in a more creative dressing environment, but what do you do when you have to wear the suit. Dun Dun Dun here is GG to help spice up this outfit. Again, I only offer suggestions that can be worked from both low to high end.
For this look I wanted to keep everything basic. I am staying away from prints for now because I assume there is a strict dress code. I centered the clothing options around the Grey High Waisted Jacket. I like the embellishment of the pleating on the jacket. I chose sheath dresses because they are quick and easy. The blue dress adds a needed color for a brighter day. The wide leg black pants fit any size and looks classic. The yellow shirt is also a needed color. The pearl necklace is another classic look that help offset the color I suggest to wear with the jacket. The heels can match anything worn with the jacket whether it is a skirt, dress, trousers, or jeans. For a little fun I suggest the Balenciaga motorcycle purse. Yes it is expensive but don’t you deserve it!
So, readers if you have any other suggestions or tips from what you do to spice up your suit please send them to me and I will happily share them. Also if you would like to take pictures of your work outfit please send those (you can cut off your face) and I will be glad to share them. Send suggestions or photos to SUITS on style.com for my suggestions on what can be worn to work along with my favorites from NYC Fashion Spring 2009.
