Thank you ladies!
Mona, thanks for the compliment on my shoulders. They cause me so much trouble while shopping, that I tend to take them for granted <3
Pastrygirl, this seems to be the only way I wear any of my cardigans any more, since I bat for Team Jacket. I just treat them as a knitted button-up shirt (that can be layered with another button-up shirt ).
Zap, you described my style pretty much how I would (woohoo!): primarily urban+color, with a smattering of Euro-chic, strong 70s influences, and a healthy dose of West Coast punk rock. That's the goal, anyway I don't have much opportunity to wear proper Business Casual, I only _really need_ to for the very occasional meeting or conference. But it does make me feel more worky so for my work outfits I've been trying to have at least 1-2 days without denim, though those skew Business Creative Casual. I think a lot of my normal Smart Casual workwear could be workified if the jeans were swapped for trousers. If you 'd like I'd be happy to pop through my archives and post some of my properly Business Creative Casual outfits for you, they're fairly scattered hehe
