Jill Marie Jones candid in Los Angeles, April, 2007. 
Author/Lawyer/Producer Crystal McCrary Anthony hailing a cab in NYC and Tocarra Jones attending the 1st Annual Pre-BET Awards Party at Boulevard 3 on June 25, 2007 in LA.The words “Corporate America” and “style” don’t often occupy the same sentence. Don’t let that deflate your spirits, there are plenty of ways to inject your personal style into your business wardrobe. Try not to limit yourself to stuffy, predictable suits and dresses. Pick suits with interesting cuts/shapes (see post below) and opt for block colored separates to pair with pencil skirts and trousers. Also use accessories to express your fashion-forward persona. A bold red bag or pair of shoes does wonders for an outfit and can brighten the most mundane day in the office ;)

skirt suits are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ideas!
ReplyDeletecan't lose with greys and blacks, tailored and sleek. victoria secret also good ideas on corporate slacks and high waisted skirts.
ReplyDeletewonderful suggestions.
I am loving the Corporate DIVA look!
ReplyDeleteThat's not an authentic Hermes bag, for that price, of course, right? Or is that a used price? The cheapest I've seen for a new Birkin is $4500. Just wouldn't want anyone to get too excited. I almost got a little hyper myself until logic kicked in =).
ReplyDelete^^Girl I don't even know. The bag looks autentic but might not be what you end up getting in the mail :( Proceed with caution!
ReplyDeleteThe necklace and the bag are lovely!
ReplyDeleteExcellent article -- thanks for remembering those of us in corporate america with more stringent dress-codes! And I love that you've incorporated color and texture into the mix, too; it's so easy to forget about style when you're trying to get dressed in corporate uniform.
ReplyDeleteI think that white bag is at www.anyknockoff.com It was featured on Instyle.com
