I have two different board meetings today so need to look professional and "corporate-y". I have discovered that my black ponte knit trousers are the same shade of black and work well with my skirt suit jacket as a pant suit - don't you love it when that happens?

I started the outfit with my ponte trousers (waaaaaaay too cold for a skirt today) and added my new cream/animal print mixed media top. It has dropped shoulders with t-shirt type fabric for the sleeves and back and then a polyester blend animal print front. Love it! I'm looking forward to wearing it with all sorts of combinations including white jeans when the weather cooperates. I topped that with my black suit jacket, added my black patent booties and my large cream handbag. I finished off the outfit with my rose gold/black watch, gold wedding ring, red specs and red lipstick.

My happiness scale for this outfit? Off the charts. I feel powerful, professional, sleek, stylish, and modern.

But what do you think? Does it hit the mark of corporate but with some pizzazz? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.
