I got a new job as a secretary. Oops! ... Executive assistant. I hope my boss likes me!
What do you think of this outfit? I really like it -- and the whole thing cost only $12, including shoes. Everything came from a thrift-store (Savers).
wow- i love this outfit mainly because of the skirt- its pencil- like and nice and fitted. this look is awesome on you and i could see you as an executive- what abiut a lawyer even ;)
Fantastic high waist on the skirt it is very flattering, and the length is perfect. Blouse is subdued but professional. This is a win, any EA would be happy to look so good.
This is a perfect exec assistant look! I must admit, I don't dress like a typical admin even though I am one - but I'd totally rock this look. I think my favorite part is the blouse, the subtle design is really fun!
ahhh! This is so cute and sleek! I love that the white top you picked has the little detailing on it! Perfection :) I wish that we had Savers by us, sadly, it seems every state has them BUT Michigan. Boo!
I remember you talking about wanting to achieve this kind of look...you've done marvelously! the skirt fits you to a tee & the top is a perfect compliment! There is some debate however in the world of fashion as to whether or not stockings/pantyhose should ever be worn with open toed shoes, even if they are the sandal toe kind...something to keep in mind ;-)
I'm aware of that debate and I know most gals choose to go without, but for me pantyhose have magical properties. I wear them because I love them. It's okay if others disagree.
I really like the outfit. It is one of my favorite looks...black pencil skirt with a white professional blouse. I think both are good finds, especially the blouse which does seem long enough for your arms. Being a CD I have a special affinity for pantyhose and love the look of painted toes through sheer toe hose. Years ago, before the pantyhose purge, all women wore pantyhose with sandals. Even today woman of our age, my wife and many of our friends, when the dress, they will wear pantyhose with sandals. One of my favorite looks are painted toe nails under shear toe pantyhose peeking out of a pair of peep toe pumps. Pat
the painted toes are my favorite part! it's all about the details, those small things that really pull it all together, and you've nailed it! now get back to work taking my memo! ;)
It looks awesome and although you do look poised to be court stenographer, I think you could also be a lawyer. Probably even better than Ally McBeal! ;-)
OHHHH MYYYYY GODDDDDDD you look amazing. No seriously. The skirt is so flattering, the blouse has some great visual details, and the heels are basically perfect. Oh, and that toenail polish? Don't even get me started :)
I do have to say those shoes look comfortable. I used to wear heels daily and it did a number on my feet, so comfort when standing all day in professional attire is important. love the embroider accents on the blouse! very sophisticated!! You are looking great Ally

ReplyDeleteI think your more CEO material. That skirt is lovely and such a perfect fit.
ReplyDeletethis is my kind of outfit...i love pencil skirts for work (although i've been lazily reaching for jeans this summer!). love that the toes are painted!
ReplyDeleteAlways! Because they are normally hidden, my toes are painted every day of my life. I try new colors every 2-3 weeks. I really like this orange.
DeleteAn inexpensive outfit that looks very sophisticated! I like it too!

Thanks. I went for the look; the low cost was a unexpected plus.
DeleteThe best is that pouf pencil!! OK, the real best is that great pencil skirt! You look great!
ReplyDeleteI love my pouf pen for both its color and its poufiness. (If that ain't a word, it should be.)
DeleteA pencil skirt is such a wonderful classic yet super sexy look. Except the pencil...ha ha! That kinda kills the sexy vibe! ; )

You look amazing in your professional, yet sexy, business attire. I especially love how the shirt detail continues on the cuffs.
