what to wear: a new twist for work
If you’re bored with your work clothes, here are some fun yet subtle ideas for adding a new twist to the tried and true staples in your closet.

- Up your style quotient at work with a belted top. These are all around the stores this season and are a great option over the top and cardi combo. This tweed top
looks great belted or not and is perfect with a pair of black wool twill trousers for a day at the office. Switch out the black belt with a red, green, blue or purple belt and you immediately change the look a bit.
- Add a kick to your wardrobe with some Christin Michaels ankle boots and prep-inspired socks. When you’re sitting, they’ll add a fun element of surprise when they peek out from under your pant legs.
- To shake your work wardrobe on a daily basis, wear a big watch; they certainly add some personal flair and come in a multitude of colors and styles. It’s a great way to punch up your outfits without doing much else.
- If you’re due for a new tote, you might want to get one in a yummy patent color. This patent tote
comes in basic black but the grape color adds just enough pop to an outfit and is neutral enough to work with all colors.

I have to admit my dirty little secret. I don’t like patent leather. I WANT to like it, but always looks cheap to me. I know it’s totally hot this season. WHAT is wrong with me????

How funny! You just have not seen the crinkled patent leather. OMG. It is so soft and luxurious looking. Yum.
