Chloé Silk chiffon blouse
First to recommend
Description
When I was in college, my favorite movie was Secretary with Maggie Gyllenhaal. I, at the time, thought it was a sweet love story and, more importantly, loved the clothes in it. Gyllenhaal was rocking the retro 40s chic and I absolutely adored it. This silk chiffon blouse would have fit in perfectly in the movie and that means, I would wear it be perfect for a business suit. The slightly sheer nature of it suggests that it would be perfect under a nice skirt suit. The delicate bow allowing me to be both glamorous and professional.

Anya Hindmarch Shirley patent tote
First to recommend
Description
What is it about large handbags that make them so appealing? Is it the ease with which they fit our life into them? Is it the almost dwarfing air about them? Is it the handles that mean they are always carried and never slung over the shoulder? Whatever it is, I love the large handbags of the world. I love the handbags that look like they should belong to "the ladies who lunch". And this patent Anya Hindmarch handbag definitely fits in this category. Shiny black, gold accent hardware and it's just oh, so cute

Miu Miu Single-breasted blazer

Description
Suit jackets are hard too find. Either they are too boxy, or too long or just have a plain unflattering cut. That's why I adore to see suit jackets like this. This jacket hits right at the right spot, at the hip. It has two perfect buttons which means this jacket would work just as well over a dress as it would over a skirt and blouse.

Description
This blouse looks a little messy, but don't be fooled. When on it sits slimly on the body and the scarf at the top makes you feel like you just walked out of a old school movie. I prefer it best tucked into wide leg pants with a discreetly matching set of shoes and a purse. Perfect for a business casual day in the office.

Moschino High waisted pencil skirt

Description
When did it stop being okay to be a woman? Woman and men dress the same now, and while I don't want you to think that I'm anti-feminist...I don't see what's so wrong with women being able to dress like...women. I know, though it baffles my mostly male coworkers sometimes, that I like to dress up. Knee length skirts like this one dominate my wardrobe. It's basic, black and is long enough that it's just plain nice.

Jimmy Choo Orleans leather slingbacks
First to recommend
Description
Oh Jimmy Choo, I love you. No matter what the year is, no matter what the fashion is, no matter what I always, always, always love the shoes that you make. They work for everything from casual to work. These shoes fall on the business side of the world and oh, how much better they make the business world. I love the comfortable height heel (a mere 80mm) and the basic black nature that has been spiced up by the styling on the front of the pointy toe.

Jimmy Choo Loren patent pumps
First to recommend
Description
My shoe closet explodes with black shoes, black ballet flats, black slingbacks, black pumps, black boots. Black pumps are the quintessential wardrobe accessory! And these black pumps have the Jimmy Choo seal of excellence (so to say). I love the tiny little gold ring at the toe and the slightly high heel. Perhaps 100mm isn't comfortable walking heel height, but they are perfect for slight jaunts around the office.

K Karl Lagerfeld Fran cotton shirt
First to recommend
Description
White shirts are so essential to any wardrobe. This white shirt mixes up white a bit, It has that masculine bib styling which, when paired right, can somehow make you feel all that much more feminine. It's like dressing in a boyfriends shirt to make that suit valid the next day.

Nanette Lepore Ruched pencil skirt
First to recommend
Description
Nanette Lepore has a way of making even the simplest item (a black skirt for instance) feel fun and feminine. I love this ruched skirt. It's knee length and black, which means on the more relaxed days in the office it would be charming with a basic starched white shirt. It can also flip to night easily. Pair it with something daring and slim for a nice night out on the town outfit.

Prisma Ponte Pencil Skirt
First to recommend
Description
Forget diamonds! I think that black skirts are a girl's best friend. Black skirts like this one are just so charming and can be used for everything. I like the knee length of this black skirt. It's a nice full pencil skirt with a high waist. This skirt would be perfect for the office and still could be worn on a weekend.
