Work It Girl

Luxe: JCrew

Whether you are looking for a job or lucky enough to still have one you don't want to skimp on your professional look. The way you carry yourself at work not only affects the way other's perceive you, but it also affects the way you feel about yourself. Depending on the company's culture that you work for, or trying to work for, I have selected some trendy business-casual looks to help boost your esteem and help you land that job or promotion. Please note that sleeveless is not usually acceptable at an office, so you will want to always wear a blazer or sweater on top. The key is to stay conservative and punch up the accessories to add femininity. I really like JCrew for this concept. You can walk into their store and instantly feel fresh with their creative mix of colors and bold accessories. Their catalog is a great source of inspiration when you want to step outside the box, but still keep it professional. Their price-point is a little higher, but so is the quality. Also, because they sell a lot of basic, solid items you can wear them year after year if you take good care of them. It's definitely worth the splurge!
