My Take on the Limited Suit

DSC_1740
Since I have the pleasure of dressing up for work, I took on the challenge to style a suit from the Limited in three different ways appropriate for a professional environment. And this was my favorite look.
I work in the epitome of a corporate work environment. We are dressed business casual or business professional everyday. As the Chief Communications Officer of the agency I work for, I'm the spokesperson and many times, the one people see in the community and I have to look professional without losing my personality. This was not only a challenge I took for the Limited, but one I took on for myself and was excited about the outfits I put together including this one with a vibrant red maxi skirt, the suit paired with a mint colored vintage top and another edgier everyday look for work.

That red skirt is GORGEOUS, but I definitely like the outfit with the mint top the best. Great job styling!

I love all three!! The long red skirt is my favorite thought. As someone who works in an office, I am constantly looking for unique ways to style my work essentials...thanks for three really fun ideas. I have a similar striped shirt from the Limited that I love...

Love this, you look like you're 10 feet tall! I'm wearing black and red floral, and a grey blazer on the blog today too. Coincidence, no? :)

I like that because it is unashamedly feminine. :) And imaginative. And it stands out with that red. And still sort of polished with the blazer.

I'd say I can see why its your favorite!

The outfit is perfect for corporate office, casual but still has the professional look to it. I love the red skirt, and the blazer is really cute too.

I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for inspiring me every day. Its refreshing to see that you can have personality in your clothing even in the workplace. Anyway, I love reading your blog, I love the tattoo, and I love that you aren't a size 0 like so many other fashion bloggers. Keep up the great work and I will keep reading.
