This is one of the sewing portions of the Wear to Where Series put together by Katy and Angelica. Go read how this all came about here.
Nothing says office attire to me more than the classic pinstripe and crisp white shirt. Its simple and classic and so many ways to dress it up with accessories.

This is how it turned out...the skirt is a paper pattern from Simplicity, tried tested and true, it has never let me down...only now looking at the size I made the last time and the one I made this time...YIKES! I love the thick waist band and the invisible side zipper on this skirt.
The shirt is the Button Up Shirt by Winter Wear Design...will for sure be needing to size down next time and adjust it to my shape. I added mother of pearl buttons down the front.
The red shoes for a splash of color, and my favorite chunky necklace to complete the look.
I haven't been this dressed up in about 6 years now. This whole experience reminded me of when I actually left the house for work as a manager in women's wear. Do I miss it...not sure, some days I do.
This last one I just had to throw in there, it made me laugh and I figured why deprive you of a good chuckle, ha!
Until next time, xx.

ReplyDeleteOMG - you look amazing - and I LOVE Rachel from Suits! That whole show has amazing styling ;o) Seriously love girl, you rock it!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Love your 'bonus' photo too! :-)
ReplyDeleteAdorable!! The shoes are the perfect pop of color to tie all of this together. Work it, girl!
ReplyDeleteI love it! And those shoes. Man, a good pop of color is everything when you wear basic pieces. And that last photo? Perfection!
ReplyDeleteI love Rachel Zane and her style! You did a great job. I'm always afraid to attempt more fitted attire and yours looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe pop of color in your shoes is such a rockstar Hollywood power move. I love this look. And just the fact that you made a button-down shirt is mindblowing, regardless of the fit. Perfection all over.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I really, really, really love this. I didn't realize that WWD had a button down shirt. I'll have to look into that. I could use a good classic button down. LOVE the shoes! You look awesome!
