Addressing the Shirtdress
This, ladies, is a what a SHIRTDRESS looks like. It is an actual real dress that is the stylistic extension of the traditional oxford shirt. Uh huh. Yup. I’m sure. Recently, I’ve been visually assaulted by certain strains of the menswear trend attempting to convince females everywhere that belting a dude’s shirt magically transforms said shirt into a “dress” – hence the rampant misuse of the term shirtdress of late. Regardless of whether you’re a proponent of this trend on the weekends when you can go all WILD AND CRAZY AND PUT A DUDE’S SHIRT ON AND BELT IT AND CALL IT…

Go Stripe Yourself
I made the mistake of shooting this outfit while traveling home to Wisconsin. Why was this a mistake? Because my brothers were in tow. Let’s just say there was no shortage of Pepto Bismol jokes about this color. Whatever, dudes. You’re just jealous you can’t rock this color combo at your office. Sweater: J. Crew; Skirt: J.

Florals: Friend or Foe?
Despite my love for the natural beauties discussed yesterday, I have been waging war on any and all floral-printed fashion items basically since I was first allowed to dress myself.

Oh how very, very wrong I was. This spring, the ubiquitous, striking floral prints are making a convert of even me. And, while not all florals are meant for the office, this silk skirt paired with the right jacket and accessories looks…

Wear It Three Ways: Take Three – Casual Friday!
The third and final installment of this week’s Wear It Three Ways series is devoted to the most sacred workday of all: CASUAL FRIDAY. Cha. Ching. As you’ve seen, this blazer seamlessly transitions from a more formal, conservative ensemble to a spring or summer Casual Friday look. And, while this silk tank and capri combo picks up on the huge mixed print trend this spring, restricting the combination to two prints with the same color duo tones it down a bit for the office. But as always, it’s up to you to decide what’s most appropriate for your specific work…

Wear It Three Ways: Take Two – Client Meeting
Take two of this week’s Wear It Three Ways is a more conservative take on the pink and navy jacket you saw yesterday. When headed to a client meeting, it’s often a good idea to tone down dramatic color combinations or patterns. In this case, I let the jacket do all the talking, throw on a tailored navy dress, and jazz it up (a little) with some gold jewelry. While this outfit may not jump off the page quite as much as the polka dot skirt seen yesterday (or what’s on deck for tomorrow), it’s definitely a reminder that less…
