A new post series I'm going to try is WOOTD -- aka: Work Outfit of the Day. (If I stole this WOOTD from another blogger please let me know...I think I've seen it before but can't recall where)! I LOVE looking at other bloggers' OOTD. However, I find that most of the outfits posted out there are pretty casual. I have to wear suiting (or scrubs) for work every single day. I'm going to start doing a few posts a week on how I put my suiting together so it doesn't look so stuffy.
Here is today's OOTD....right now I'm really into skirt suits with a shirt/blouse tucked in and a belt. I also love me a pencil skirt and pretty much every skirt suit I own has one.
Today I'm wearing a really old suit from about 4 years ago. I scored this on super clearance at Express. We are talking like the entire suit for 40 bucks! The catch -- I bought the jacket 2 sizes too big and the skirt 1 size too big. I know an excellent tailor and for an additional $40 he resized the suit. I don't know where else I could get an entire suit for $80!
Outfit details:
Suit: Express, Spring 2005
Belt: JCrew (click here), Size Medium
Shirt: JCrew Ruffle Tank (Spring 2009), Size XS (This thing ran HUGE!)
Shoes: Nine West Nude kitten heel pumps, Spring 2010
Have a great weekend everybody!

Absolutely adorable, loving the color combination on you! And what a steal of a deal - I need your tailor's phone number :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have the best weekend ever!
Super cute! I cannot believe that is from Express 05-they do have some great stuff that will last for awhile though! Got your comment on MBR-what the what? I wonder if something is up-I mean she has had two blogs-maybe someone was stalking her or being nasty. She did have some haters-I just wish she would've said something to us so we could know what was up-freaky! I don't even KNOW what Twitter is-I am an incompetent. First of all, my phone is practically from Express 05 :D and second of all, yeah, I don't know what Twitter is/how to use it! :0 You should totally get on Twitter and try to find her-I will keep doing some research....
