Lady-Like

Black Halo Jackie O Dress, Nine West Satin Pumps, Chanel 2.55

When I first started working full time, I was so excited to dress for the part that all I bought for a few months were tailored dresses, skirts and blouses. On my first day to work, J said I looked like a kid dressed in adult clothing! It definitely took a while to get used to not wearing jeans on a regular basis. For the first few months, I tried to look decent everyday for work. Nowadays, I rarely ever wake up wanting to dress up - plus I'm not an early person at all!

This Jackie O dress is by far my favorite dress from Black Halo. It comes in so many different colors and it's the perfect length for work. The asymmetrical cowl neckline was what drew me to the dress. If you catch a promo for Revolve Clothing, you can get it at 30% off, which was what I did! TRY the promo code "instyle" for 20% off right now! They also ship for free! The necklace was from quite some time ago. I forgot the name of the brand, but it was from The Bay- on sale for $19!

Victoria Beckham's S/S 2010 line up has some exquisite ladylike pieces. I remember reading somewhere that she would describe her style as "very british...think school teacher." The girl does love her pencil skirts and fitted blouses, but these dresses are somethin else! I love the structure of each dress. It gives power to such feminine silhouettes. All clinched at the waist for the appearance of a smaller waist line ... which is always a good way to go!
