Hi ladies,
Please help me choose an outfit for work tomorrow! I will be working for a smallish consulting company in an internal IT position. The office appears to be on the casual side of business casual...
Coming from the fashion retail industry I want to appear young and hip, but professional.
On to the outfits.
#1 is a dark purple seamed sheath dress from Adrienne Papell, worn with taupe leather jacket and taupe knee-high boots with gold details. I would not wear hosiery with this. PROS: I like the color combo, it's comfy. CONS: a bit traditional?
#2 is an embossed leather pencil skirt that is rather high-waisted, however you can't tell because I'm wearing a slouchy-fit grey cashmere sweater over it. Worn with tights and black suede wedge booties. PROS: The sweater is extremely comfortable, and I feel this hits the right note of not being over-dressed but looking professional. CONS: too boring? Skirt is a bit uncomfy to sit in, due to being high-waisted and stiff.
#3 is similar to #1, but a more modern dress. A touch longer and slimmer, it is also crewneck rather than v-neck. It's a bit body-con. I'd need to wear tights with this, or I'd wear black leather booties that come up a bit on the ankle and are slim fitting. PROS: The most modern of the outfits, I think. I like this dress and it is comfy, but haven't worn it much because, CONS: dress is very fitted. I'd wear Spanx w it, which would lessen it's comfort level
