I work from home so my opportunities to dress it up for work are few and far between. I must admit, however, I do "get ready" for myself. You can find me alone at my computer at 10:00 am on a Monday morning and I will have lipstick on and likely blush and mascara. I may even have some hot rollers in for a possible errand later in the day.
But now I have a legit reason to freshen myself...a business trip. Yep, a few days away from the fam. A flight, hopefully a book, some peanuts, room service, sleeping until 7:00 am perhaps. Bliss. Well bliss at least for the first 36 hours until I miss my brood too much.
But, let's go with the bliss feeling. What to wear? what to wear?
My upcoming Biz Trip to Chicago is what inspired my look below. (Unfortunately I will likely see the inside of a hotel conference room more than pizza and the Cubs.)
I have been looking for the perfect pencil skirt and have heard Banana Republic has a great one. At $69.50 that is a good deal for the ultimate staple. Since jewel tones are the must have for Fall I paired it with an emerald green silk top and purple suede pumps. Yes, purple and green. No, I am not Dr. Suess, I am embracing color and you should too. Throw on this cute trench from Express (backordered until 10/22 but that is days away) and a simple tote and you have a chic professional ensemble that doesn't break your bank. And, who doesn't love separates? So you can mix and match with things already in your closet.
I'm loving the suede pumps this season!
