Suiting Up

As the semester is winding down and with presentations nigh, I figured it was time to invest in a really nice suit. My first choice of store was Express. I can always count on them to meet all of my business wardrobe needs. The jacket (pictured to the left) was what I ended up with at $98 even. It's a nice, structured, one-buttoned jacket that's simple and generic. Perfect for pairing with the Editor fit pants that are also from Express.

Or a pencil skirt ($59.50), such as the one pictured to the right--which I happen to own as of now. Suffice it to say, I am very happy with my purchases--as one can never overestimate the value of owning a good suit.

Of course, I couldn't help but stop by Forever 21 seeing as (1) this is one of my favorite stores and (2) it's a new addition to this particular mall. I ended up getting only a few items: a plain long sleeved shirt ($6.80), some black skinnys ($9.50), a black tank top with a black bow embellishment on the front, and a nice gray double knit jacket.

Turns out, though, that the gray jacket looks similar to another gray blazer that I own, so I think I'm going to return it for a black one. It's quite the deal! Inside is thermal-y material, so it's sure to keep me warm. All in all, I'm pretty pleased with my purchases. Until next time!
