Style Diary – Cardigan + Dress

The cardi + dress combo has become my work uniform as of late.  It allows me to follow the dress code (no bare shoulders allowed-yea I’m serious.) It allows me to put a professional spin on my otherwise girlier dresses, and tight cardigans don’t bulk me up too much despite the layering.  Below are a few examples from the past week or so.

  • purse – miu miu (bought at Barney’s winter sale)
  • sleeveless brown dress – Ann Taylor
  • cardigan – Express (bought on sale)
  • leopard belt – vintage
  • shoes – lovely people
  • gold chain necklace – can’t remember where I bought this but it was a steal
  • ring – bought at off 5th
  • dress – Tracy Reese
  • leopard print stilettos – Hoshoe
  • cardigan -Merona (bought at Target)
  • belt – Gucci
  • tote – Fendi
  • red leather heels with leopard lining – Hoshoe
  • puff-sleeved cardigan – H&M
  • ruffle dress – Betsey Johnson (bought at a consignment store)
  • suede slingback – Bruno Magli
  • stretch belt – vintage

Style Diary: What I Wore To Work

I get away with wearing fun dresses to work ‘cuz I work in fashion. One such dress is this leopard number which if worn alone looks pretty sexy with its cutout sleeves, but under a more official looking blazer, it quickly becomes more work appropriate.

Cut 25 blazer.  leopard dress by Fiori Di Zucca.  Chanel purse.  Suede fringed boots by  Go Max and necklace by Express. What I love about this blazer are the leather elbow pads.  It adds an interesting masculine touch to the otherwise, slim-fitting, feminine blazer. And ladies, I’m taking bids on this new Chanel purse!  It’s authentic and hardly used.  I simply fell in love with another and need to see if I can sell this…Leave a comment here with your email if you’re interested in it or need more photos and detail!

The best part of my day was that I came home with a free set of Chanel make-up brushes!  They were about to throw out this and another set exactly like it so my co-worker and I quickly offered to save them from the dumpster.  (they’re replacing the sample sets because a newer version and design is coming out).  I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand the thought of throwing away something so precious.  Here are my new take-home items!Click here for more Style Diary posts and here for more inspiration about what to wear to work!
