Corporate Couture I

Being that I will be entering the corporate world in less than a month, I have been scouting around for fashionable work wear all around town. I never really paid attention to it before, just because nothing's ever really called for it and have always dismissed it as being boring. Little did I know how much love I would grow for corporate wear.

I wasn't sure where to start, seeing that I was so used to have my eyes spot going out tops, jeans and dresses, so i made a list as to what would be a good little start up wardrobe anyone who's not used to looking for work attire.

*crisp white collared shirt
*crisp black collared shirt
*crisp collared shirt with pinstripe design or color
*black pants
*grey pants
*shift dress
*black vest
*skirt or pant suit set (i decided to go for the skirt suit since it's always harder to find good fitting skirts for me)
*blouse coordinates
*black pumps
*cream pumps

I feel these pieces will give enough room to mix and match with one another, and to keep it interesting.

I started searching at Witchery as I thought it would be the perfect place for my transition from trend to corporate styles. A few tops caught my eye like the silk shirt with the side bow, which is very classic piece, that can work outside of work, and the black silk kimono blouse, which looked nice paired with high waisted black pants. But I thought for now I'd stick to standard pieces before moving to trendy ones.

So I settled on another white silk blouse with feminine detail, that will be able to go with all the other pants. And to structure formalize it, I paired it with this black vest, which I fell in love with. It also keeps the look interesting.

Witchery did me good, as it always has. Also, what's great about it was that it worked well with my other pieces too. My wardrobe was looking more refined and elegant by the minute, and I was so ready to search for the other pieces.


You can get these pieces and view the whole collection online at the
Witchery store.
