Somewear: International Business Conference

My girlfriend is traveling to Hong Kong this week for her company’s international business conference.  She needs work clothes that will pack well, not wrinkle, and be semi-comfortable.  Though this dress still seems a bit restricting, the peplum makes for a great cover incase you eat too much at lunch!

• Alexander Wang, Emile Satchel, $925

What to Wear When: You Wanna Play Hard Ball

I don’t know what it is lately, but I’ve been in the mood to kick some ass and take some names.  Sometimes all you need is the right look to make the hard sell (or maybe you just need the confidence IN the right look).  Regardless, if I was wearing this number I’d be negotiating my face off with whoever wanted to listen.  No, no, but really- I would.

Power Lunch!

 

Sometimes confidence is all in the outfit.  Dress bold and walk in like you own the place and who knows- maybe someday you will.  Get the job done and look good while you’re doing it.  Plus- can anyone really say no to a lady in red?

First Day of Law School

My girlfriend, Libby, starts law school this week and I’ll give you one guess where she is going.  In the city of denim and casual attire, it’s going to be tough for her to leave her stiletto strutting for TORTS studying, but it must be done.  I think I found a way for her to fit in with her new longhorn friends, but still stay true to her stellar style.

• Pour La Victoire, Jaclyn Espadrille Wedge Sandals, Sale- $135
