One Stylish Lady: 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.
