Business As Usual
Monday, August 20, 2012Every once in awhile a meeting at work calls for dressier attire. I almost always turn to my one pair of dress slacks before changing up the top for different looks. For today, it's a plain black top accessorized with a colorful scarf. A tad boring, but it gets the job done.
Have a good week ahead!
sunglasses: Walmart aviator (similar)
necklace: gift from aunt (similar)

Love love your Chanel m/l flap. So beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteAside from that - love the simplicity esp for work attire. I always like to stay comfy at work but yet we have to dress up on occasions too.

Simple & beautiful! I love it Cee!
ReplyDeleteNice way to tie the scarf! I plan on going into my closet to try that out after I comment here! :p
ReplyDeleteI love those pants! What size and hem length are you wearing? Did you have to get them tailored?
Hi Michelle! I'm wearing a size 0R in these Express pants, off the rack without any alterations. Please note that I bought mine many years ago and I think their sizing has now changed. I tried on 00R within the last year and those felt similar to my 0R. You're smaller than me so I hope that I'm wrong and 00 would fit you.
DeleteThanks Cee! I will definitely stop by Express next time I am at the mall to check these out. I love that they are machine washable!
DeleteAnd big bummer on the scarf...mine are not similar in shape enough to pull the look off. I just looked like a goof! :p
I know, right?! Machine washable is my favorite part, too. Not to mention, the pants are uber comfortable.
DeleteWhat shape is your scarf? Mine's a square, so I just folded it in half to form a triangle and looped the ends around my neck.
Something simple is the best way to go. Love the way you tie the scarf.
ReplyDeleteSimple but definitely a classy look! xo

Ah, classic Cee working her magic with a scarf :) Agree with P, a nice and polished look!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is boring at all! It is simple, chic and professional. There is a lot to be said for not over-doing it. Especially in a work setting.
