Trend I'm Loving...Suits & Tuxedos

I don't know about you, but I'm obsessed with a woman in a suit...and even better, a tuxedo!

This is a trend that comes & goes year after year...and this year, its going strong, and I'm loving it!
Women borrow from menswear season after season in some form or another. 

Being a businesswoman, who attends meetings, trade shows, networking events, I'm always looking for 'serious' clothes to wear, which don't dilute my personal style, or personality.

I find putting on a suit makes me feel empowered, and adding in a tie or vest now & then mixes it up.  I have a pair of white high waisted tux pants, which I plan to wear at a networking event next month. 

I like to keep my shoes and accessories pretty feminine to balance the look....or add a feminine color like pink (see Julia Roberts below).  Or do a whole suit in color, if you're brave!  White suits are hot for spring & summer!

ANY body shape can sport a suit.  Jacket length is what matters.  Also, to add interest, try different pant styles: skinny, straight, wide leg, high waist, etc.  


Next time you have somewhere to go....SUIT UP!

Still in PJ's....

I've been sick, sick, sick since my return from my trip. I apologize for my absence.  Honestly, I've been in PJ's since last Friday (so nothing to share on daily outfits). My closet is sad and lonely.

Hopefully I'll be up and posting my outfits again soon!

In the meantime, I'll share some trends I'm loving. Thanks for following and staying with me.

Have a great Easter holiday.
