    Don’t let this blazer fool you. Underneath this striking little polka dot number is a black dress that is ready and raring to go for cocktails (yet still long enough for the office). Once 5 o’clock rolls around, just swap it out with a scarf and a clutch and you’re good to go. Who knew this jacket was hiding a saucy little v-back dress? Well played, blazer.

    Corporate Colorblock

    In addition to a good-old-fashioned colorblock dress (that slims the bajeezus out of you), we’re obsessed with metallic accents this season, and especially excited to incorporate the trend into our work wardrobes via this gold-toe heel.  Ted Baker also makes a beautiful version of the shoe, but his may be a bit high for the office.  So, a little looking around produced several more comfortable and office-appropriate versions including these by Chinese Laundry.   Keep it classy, people. Dress: Calvin Klein; Shoes: Chinese Laundry; Necklace and Ring: Gorjana; Bracelets: Orion and Alex and Ani; Tights: Wolford; Polish: Essie (Bachelorette Bash)

    Pre-FUR to stay in bed today?

    Wishing you could CTRL+Z that fourth glass of wine last night?  We feel your pain, but you still can’t wear yoga pants to the office.  Instead, throw on a geometric print that will hopefully distract from the bags under your eyes.   Keep it classy, ladies.  Skirt: Tahari (similar here); Blouse: Ann Taylor; Scarf: Urban Outfitters (old – similar here); Vest: ABS (similar here); Silver Jewelry (old); Heels: Lauren Ralph Lauren; Polish: Essie (Downtown Brown)
