WIW- Mix and Match Business Attire- Pink, Gray, Black and Pearls!

I bought this blazer (and a couple of others) past weekend. And I obviously couldn't wait to wear it. I teamed it up with a pink blouse (also purchased on the same day) and mu trusted black Mango trousers. I added an olive green faux snakeskin belt and a pearl and black net necklace for accessories. I was also wearing pearl bracelet with my rose-gold watch. For earrings I chose my simple pearl studs. For footwear I wore my black pumps. The bag I carried was my usual neutral one. I was quite happy with this outfit although the photo does not do justice to how it looked in real life. The fit of the blazer is actually good but looks somewhat weird in the photo.

What do you think? How does the whole mix and match business attire look? Your insightful comments and feedback are always welcome.

What a lovely, classic, and elegant combination. I like this a lot. The pink is (of course) so pretty on you, but the slight shine of the blouse and texture of the belt also work well with the blazer.

Is there a hem allowance in the trousers? To wear with these pumps and be PPL, I think you'd need to make them a bit longer. At least judging from the photo, which I know is not always accurate.

Love the colour combo Asingh - it's unexpected and I like that.

I'm afraid I'm wondering the same thing as Suz - are you able to let down the hem of the trousers a bit? They seem a little short for these shoes.

I agree about pants length. The blouse is a great colour for you, and I like the cut of the jacket!

Pretty blouse and great blazer! Adding a little length to the pants would make this a 10!

You are adding a lot of great pieces to your wardrobe. I really like the blazer and the pink blouse. I can't wait to see your other new blazer.

Gorgeous colours! I agree with the others re pants, maybe you usually wear with flats?

Excellent purchase! This neutral will make your bright tops and scarfs sing!

BTW --- bring your pants to my house, and I can let the hem down while I taper my pencil skirts --- just a few miles down the road from Chicago!

Thank you, ladies.

Beth Ann, I would have gladly flown from New Delhi to the US just to get my trousers lengthened by you However, there's no scope of increasing the hemline. These trousers look fine with flats but somehow I was in a mood to wear heels yesterday and hence the above outfit.
