Suit and Tie

I finally got around to posting this look! I was inspired by another blogger to try a "suited" look. (I say suited loosely as my look is actually a mix and match of separates). While perusing my closet, I found that, with a little creativity, I had all the items I needed to pull the outfit together.  I started with columnist ankle pants from Express which have been pretty heavy in my work rotation. Then, I added a white button up blouse and black blazer with tuxedo trim - both recently picked up from H&M.  For shoes, I decided to rock two texture black pumps from Zara. Now for the tie.  I own no ties (although now I want some), so this is where a little re-purposing came in.  I found a shirt dress in my closet with a black sash and thought, "why not?!"  With a little maneuvering, the sash turned in to a cute little neck tie.  And there you have it!  Get into this look as an alternative to traditional cocktail dresses for holiday parties.  Details below...
