(black PENA ruffled blouse, grey V-neck ZARA sweater, black Amcerian Apparel pencil skirt, GUESS bag, strappy black Kenneth Cole pumps, Ralph Lauren shades)
This is the last installment of looks from my first post. If you're one of the many that find themselves chasing time, this outfit will hopefully give you the much needed respite from your busy day. Whether it be classes, a presentation at work or a business meeting, our professional spheres and respective wardrobes tend to dominate the day. For those whose work times come narrowly close to a night out with friends, a transition outfit is needed to save you the trek back home and wardrobe change. Inspired by the Spring 2008 runway shows, this look combines the traditional element of ruffles, with the present day structured and streamlined look. With layers of different textures, we have hints of academia from the grey V-neck, the professional yet flattering shape of the black pencil skirt, and the playfullness of a ruffled blouse. The cream bag outlined in black contrasts perfectly against the outfit's dark silhouette. Finally, I pair the entire look with patent black pumps; a staple for both work and play. As an ensemble and as individual pieces, the items neither clash nor outshine each other. Who says business and pleasure can't mingle?
