Classy and Polished Outfit for Professional or Business Casual Events

My blog has moved to http://www.tenderallure.com/.  To keep up with my latest posts, outfits, giveaways, and more, check out my new blog!  I would love it if you could joined me at my new blog  :)

Hey everyone!

I wanted to show you what I wore for a professional event today!  I know that it can be difficult to figure out what to wear for professional or business casual events; you want be dressed appropriately for the event and in a way that fits your age.  Check out my video of this outfit on Youtube!

Pearl Studs, Necklace, and Bracelet:  Gift

Gold and Crystal Bangles:  PacSun

Gold Filigree and Faux Pearl Bracelet:  eBay

Shirt:  Express

Skirt:  Charlotte Russe

Heels:  Calvin Klein/Dillard's

Cardigan:  Old Navy

I chose the red v-neck top because it has a really pretty and vibrant color to dress up this outfit.  After all, dressing up like this doesn't have to be completely boring!  It's definitely important to spice it up and bring out your personality while still looking professional.  I love how the v-neck on this shirt stops at an appropriate length and doesn't expose too much cleavage.  The ruched detailing at the neckline also adds an extra flair and makes the shirt much more feminine.  

I chose the black pencil skirt because it came with a simple belt that really emphasizes the waist and breaks up the torso from the legs.  Pencil skirts, a classic choice for professional dress, are excellent for defining your figure and playing up your curves.  It's also a great choice for this outfit because it hits at the knees and shows a respectable amount of leg.  

I love the black pointy-toed Calvin Klein heels in this outfit!  They are so classy and work great for elongating the legs even though they aren't nude pumps.  

Going along with the classy  look of the clothing in this outfit, I chose to accessorize with my pearls.  I love how they just pull together the whole look and make me feel glamorous!  I had to wear my bangles to add some sparkle.  I like how the crystals in the bangle really shine and contrast the simplicity of the pearl bracelet.  I'm really loving the bangle, pearl bracelet, bangle combo!  I'm also wearing my filigree bracelet on the other arm because it's so little and dainty that it would just be covered entirely if I wore it on my arm with the bangles and pearl bracelet.  If I don't want to clink and make noises throughout the day via the bangles, I would totally just wear the filigree bracelet.    

Top it all off with a simple white cardigan and you're ready to go!  I love how this cardigan has a cropped length so that it can pair very nicely with the pencil skirt.

I hope you enjoy this outfit!  Let me know if you have any questions or have requests for more outfits like this one.

Comfortable, Trendy, and Cute Outfit for School or Class

My blog has moved to http://www.tenderallure.com/.  To keep up with my latest posts, outfits, giveaways, and more, check out my new blog!  I would love it if you could joined me at my new blog  :)

Hey everyone!

I wanted to show you what I wore to class today!  Check out my video of this outfit on Youtube!

I chose a simple blue off-the-shoulder top because it is so soft and laid-back.  It isn't too dressed up since all you're doing is attending class.  Yet, it's still feminine and cute because it shows skin in a very classy way.  Just showing a little bit of your shoulders is attractive, but in an appropriate way for the school setting.  This top just says fun fashion when you are wearing it!  I paired this top with plain black yoga pants because they are super comfortable and make it easier to get settled in your seat when you have to sit in class for hours.  The black color and the tight fit of these pants make your legs look slimmer and balance off the slightly large top.  This is such a staple piece for any wardrobe!

Earrings:  PacSun
Scarf:  eBay
Necklace:  Gift
Shirt:  American Eagle
Tank Top:  Abercrombie & Fitch
Pants:  Old Navy
Flats:  Charlotte Russe

Of course, this outfit needs the perfect accessories to make it stand out.  The pink-flowered scarf that I paired with this outfit is the main accessory that really makes this outfit pop.  The color works well with the blue top since the white background of the scarf really makes the pink of the flowers add some brightness to this outfit.  I also layered a pink tank top under my top to add an unexpected pop of color that adds to and enhances the effect of the scarf.  I topped this all off with silver rhinestone flower earrings, a purple butterfly pendant, and a gold bracelet.  My black bow flats added to the overall femininity of the outfit and helped to counterbalance the dark-colored clothing.

I hope you enjoy this outfit!  I look forward to putting up more posts!

Linda
