Reader Request! What to wear to work??

Image
I need your help. I just left my stuffy law firm job for a job on the finance team of a political campaign. It's a little more casual and east coast preppy than my old job but since I'm on finance, I have to look sharp and put together. Here is the big hitch- the new paycheck is significantly smaller now and Rugby and Ralph Lauren are way out of my price range. Any ideas? Hey! Congrats on the new position!  It's always fun to start a new job. I made about 8 career changes in my 20's and new jobs always meant more shopping- actually anything pertaining to anything new means more shopping for me but I digress. :P  It's is not always easy, however, to figure out what to wear for work, especially if you are on a tight budget.  My rule of thumb- always keep it simple and use the accessories to jazz it up. Here are some mix and match basics to help you get started (all items under $80)- enjoy! 1) Pencil Skirt  Asos $45 2) Black Top  Gap $20   3) S...

Coco Avant Chanel- Some Inspiration

Image
Fashion followers vary in pretty much all fashion related aspects.  Some find  Alexander McQueen  revolutionary while others just don't get it.  What was with those painted on lips for Fall 2009 anyways?  Some fashionistas embrace today's faded denim vests, white oxford shoes and shoulder padded blazers while others prefer to stick to the mainstream "playing it uber safe" staples of leggings, cardigan and a Longchamp bag (me!).  Some will only shop Chickdowntown while others regularly check the Forever 21 sale rack for some goodies.  But if there is one thing we all have in common, one bond that holds us together, one thread that keeps us united, it is our deep admiration and appreciation for Coco Chanel and her contribution to fashion today.  Her tweed suits, layered pearl necklaces and the infamous 2.55 bag  still garner the attention of most fashion magazines.  Coco Chanel embodied the less is more approach with that oh so famous quote that I tell myself most da...

Coveting Fall 07 Balenciaga

Image
If there was any look that I have been coveting for Fall 2007, it is Balenciaga and his fitted piped blazers, ethnic scarves, and schoolboy charm. I (and many fashion magazines out there) would say that he single-handedly brought this look to the streets and the mass markets. This is the show that was a turning point for me in terms of fashion: I was suddenly able to embrace true Ready to Wear. I no longer just desired Michael Kors’s cashmere sweaters or Carolina Herrera’s white blouse…Nicolas Ghesquiere gave me the freedom to think outside the fashion box, if not for more than a few moments...Let us all agree that I cannot even afford the white eyeshadow sported on these models, but alas! My Canadian & American retailers can help me channel all this Balenciaga energy I have pent up. Enjoy! Should you wish to channel Balenciaga, get the look here with various pieces at 1/10th of the price: Clockwise From Top: Fitted Blazer, J. Crew $250.00 Slacks, FCUK, $138.00 Piped Blazer, Joe...
