Kristen outfits 2/1-5: Suit up!

Not my best week ever, but lots of professional business attire. I had a LOT of meetings my first week at my new job! This week should be more in the office, so I can have some fun with my version of business casual.

Monday: black pencil skirt and sweater vest, rhubarb-pink turtleneck, lots of black accents instead of my usual brown.

Tuesday: My preppy roots show up, big time. Donna Morgan dress, cream turtleneck sweater, and lots of pearls.

Wednesday: My interview blouse -- the gorgeous blue ruffled AT one -- gets another workout with my suit. To clarify, I did NOT wear the green tights in the closeup photo of the shoes; that shot is from a different outfit worn months ago.

Thursday: My v-neck challenge entry. The scarf is a great distraction, but Angie (surprise!) was right: it's the boxy fit of the v-neck that makes it tough to wear, so it was really the belt that made this outfit, imo.

Friday: I feel so badly for not wearing red on this day, but I was amused by the joke I was able to make. Plus, I really liked how this chiffon-y Loft dress (waves to Laura!) and the Chanel-esque jacket looked together in real life. But I need a brooch!

How did I do? Professional business attire is tough to keep interesting, I have to admit. Looks like I will have to do it several times a month too, so I've begun stocking up on interesting silky tops. Any other suggestions for keeping it fresh are welcome, as long as they don't involve buying new suits. I have plenty for now. Thanks!

You look as lovely as always, and you do such a good job of allowing your personality to shine through in your wardrobe choices. I think my favorite is Monday. I love the pink/black combo, and the lines of the outfit are so flattering!

I always love getting a peek at George too!

You look great! I really love the rhubarb pink turtleneck, it's a nice color on you.

I think you're doing a great job keeping it fresh, you have a good sense of color and how to play it off neutrals. You add the unexpected with a scarf here or textured hose there.

Friday could have used a broach or scarf as you said, but it's still a nice look. How did the nun look?

Very stylish, Kristin. I particularly love the black suit with the blue ruffle blouse. It's such a great color combo, one of my favorites!

Very nice Kristen. I think you're off to a fabulous start with your proffessional business attire. I know nothing about this style so I'll be watching how you do it.
Ask me sometime about how to dress for working while hanging off a bridge in the rain with ice and rain running down the back of your neck. I do know something about that and it's not near as glamorous as you look in these pictures.

A fab week non the less! Wed's outfit is KILLER. My word. Add a pearl bracelet to that enslemble and you'll send me into orbit.

Love Thursday's outfit too. Your naughty specs make the look :0)

Another amazing week! Enjoyed every outfit!

Another fabulous week Kristen! That luscious blouse is still to-die-for. I wish I had snapped it up when I had the chance. I quite like your Lily Pulitzer look too So sorry about the shredding of the tights. I ruined my polka dot hose the day I wore them for the first time :-S

I LUV your Donna Morgan dress!! The nude fishnets over the navy was a great idea!

I also really liked your v-neck challenge outfit. The yellow scarf is so pretty on you!

You have a collection of wonderful shoes!
