Sometimes, you just want to wear an outfit that you don’t have to think about.  This desire, however, can lead people to commit atrocious crimes against fashion: velour track pants, pajamas in public, workout clothes in church, etc.  But there is an alternative, and it couldn’t be simpler. Polyvore Set Here. I love boatneck tees.  […]

  Polyvore Set Found Here. Every Summer, I see a lot of women who try to wear white jeans or white pants to work and fail miserably.  First off, white trousers MUST be lined.  If they’re not lined, your co-workers are going to learn a bit more about you than they would have probably liked […]

  Polyvore Set Found Here. I don’t wear pants very often, simply because I find skirts and dresses more forgiving, but when I do, I like a wide leg trouser.  No skinny, pinching, straight leg pants for me.  These black trousers are incredibly forgiving, and if you want to make your legs look longer, wear […]

Polyvore Set Found Here. With it’s neutral, navy color and classic […]

It’s still a bit too chilly outside for shirt sleeves and skirts, but I think an anorak or utility jacket is the perfect solutions.  And should any of you ladies find yourselves dragged to the bar this weekend to watch college basketball (sure, there are a few of you who would go willingly), your sporty […]

A few weeks ago, I featured a watercolor-printed blouse in a Career Style post.  As lovely as it was, it was simply out of the reach of most working at women at over $400.  Luckily, the good folks at Anthropologie have stepped up to provide us with a lovely watercolor blouse that won’t break the […]
