Showin' A Little Leg!...

Shorts suits have been trending once again as we are seeing more and more women revamping their office style workday staple with blazer accompanied shorts suits.  This offers a fresh and cool alternative to slacks in the Summer giving a feminine touch to an otherwise masculine power duo.

Of course the definition of work attire varies given the nature of your profession which in turn gives rise to the question..."Is there really a dress code anymore?"   I would think as long as micro miniskirts and baring cleavage are a 'NO', you're all good to go!  Keep in mind, that keeping it professional should be at the forefront of your clothing choices as a must.


When done tastefully, shorts in the workplace can be appropriate for a day at the office.  Just make sure that you are cautious of the length because you want to maintain a modest appeal to your career fashion choices.  Shorts as work attire is a fairly new concept because even up to around fifteen years ago, it was unheard of and considered unprofessional.  I particularly love the Bermuda shorts suit...

Designers such as Doo Ri, Erin Fetherston & Jason Wu, have put together some amazing shorts suits which are becoming an instant classic!

There is also a more party'ish style short suit that can be worn as dressy attire...

On an end note...I'm not sure that this style works for dudes!  What do you think?...

Polka Dot Daze...

I've been keeping up to date on what's in for Spring 2011 since it's right around the corner and my most recent reveal is polka dots!

r

Dots primarily in pastel shades have made a huge impact on fashion trends for this year!  Victoria Beckham is stunning in this pale pink polka dotted Marc Jacobs one shoulder mini!

Polka dot patterns became super popular in the 1950's and the retro 50's dot bold & bright style is still considered to make quite the fashion statement...

You don't have to shop in high priced boutiques to acquire this style trend because it's pretty much 'polka dot daze' currently at all retail chains off and online.  Juicy Couture at Zappos.com, Forever 21.com and Endless.com has a bevy of polka dotted fashions and accessories for you to choose from.

   

This style pattern will take you right through to Fall as you can pair polka dots with capris, a slim skirt or dark-wash jeans!
