Look of the Day

 

Women have so many options for clothing, yet there are so many rules for where and what is appropriate in a work setting.  Work clothing used to be the bane of my existence - it can be uncomfortable and stuffy, plus you never want to take a risk in your clothing if you meet with clients or customers.  But over the years I have found a way to hone my style to make it a bit more fun and lively.  I use to wear the basic black or grey trousers with a sensible top, and possibly a skirt here or there.  Now I try to spend a little more on quality items and spice them up with color or detail to add a little life.  This is a very classic look - a wool cardigan and skirt (both from Banana Republic) with pumps.  I used the plum/fushcia colors to make the outfit stand out, and instead of normal tights I opted for a dotted style (from The Limited).  Still conservative and work appropriate, but with a twist.

 

 

I love the view from the top!

Hair Color

I color my hair pretty infrequently, but once I go in after a few months without color the difference is so drastic! I love getting some warm colors to brighten up my complexion. I see a stylist who uses Aveda products and she does a great job of mixing light and medium blonde with my natural hair color. She's pretty good - see for yourself.
