Work Chic: Crinkled Belted Skirt

Tall Crinkled Belted Skirt $69.50 Banana Republic

I really love this skirt, it's casual sophistication. To wear it, think effortless French glamour, just pair it with a simple top such as a black v-neck short sleeve top (paired with a long black cardigan) or with a black fitted short or long sleeve turtleneck. Don't over do the accessories, wear with either a necklace or a bracelet with your watch. You want to let the skirt be the center piece.

Work Chic: A Fool-Proof Outfit

It happens, you over slept and now you have to haul it to work. Don't waste what little time you have by trying to piece together the perfect outfit. For a quick no-brainer outfit, pair a soft yet lightweight fitted sweater or top with a great pair of wide leg pants. Accessorize with a blazer, fitted vest, cardigan, necklace or scarf. To take this outfit from after work just change up your accessorizes and re-touch your make-up.

Fashion Pick: Ruffle V-neck Sweater

Soft and sophisticated, two words to describe this non-cutesy Merino Ethereal Ruffle V-neck Sweater ($78.00, J.Crew). It's simple yet playful and flirty. It gives you that put together look without even trying.

Wear it with black or a soft grey skirt or pants, for work. For a night out, pair it with jeans and a few accessories for that casual elegant look.

Fashion for Day or Night: Drape Neck Tank

Shown: Drape Neck Tank with Knotted Strap $58.50 Victoria's Secret

A great tip for money conscious young professionals is to buy clothes that you can mix and match and wear for different occasions and events. How to wear: For day: Pair this tank with a pant or skirt suit for a more clean and polished look. For evening: Turn up the heat by pairing it with a killer pair of jeans or a pencil skirt for an elegant way to show a little skin.

Work Chic: Wearing a Sundress to Work

The sundress has long been a favorite style to wear for spring and summer but can you wear it to the office. Of course, but keep it office-appropriate by pairing this easy breezy dress with a light weight blazer or a cardigan with sling-backs or pumps.

Just make sure to stay away from styles that are too casual (reserve those for the weekend).
