Look of the Week: Delicate + Denim

Opposites attract, and that's definitely true of textures. Adding the sturdy structure of the denim jacket to the ruffled blouse and silky skirt in the look below adds more strength to the jacket and makes the ruffled front stand out more than it would all by its lonesome. Add a great pair of brown leather boots to balance the look from head to toe.

Skirt - retro Talbots sz 6 $21.00
Blouse - Talbots sz 10p $15.00
Jacket - Banana Republic sz XS $16.00
Belt - Fossil $10.00

The look of the Week!

Red and gray are a dream-team when it comes to business attire. Break out of basic black by taking its lighter counterpart for a test drive - and use a bold color (like red) for a pop of personality and confidence.
