Working it

So I have spent my first week in my new role ( training ) and I have found it very challenging to find business professional pieces that still have style and I can show my personal style thru. After trying many different options throughout This week , I realized this is probably something many women struggle with all the time ……. Which means it will be a great blog post! So I have scoured the Internet and have found some great options that are professional but stylish for us working gals:)

1. The pencil skirt : a pencil skirt doesn’t have to be your basic black boring skirt ! Make this a statement …… Mix it up with color, pattern and texture . These skirts are all from topshop and range from $60-$400
