Happy Halloween! This weekend one of my best friends is getting married in Chicago, so we'll be attending her rehearsal dinner tonight. I'm going to pack a costume, but dressing up might have to wait till next year. 

Today's outfit is my travel outfit to Chicago. These jeans are currently my "go to" when traveling. I love that they worn with several different tops. From chunky sweaters to petite tops, which makes packing easier for me. My "Paris" sweatshirt is currently my favorite piece in my closet. Like most women, I love Paris. It's whimsical streets, iconic views and renowned wine are like something out of a movie. Hopefully another trip to Paris is in my near future! 

Be sure to check out Otte New York. It's a small boutique here in Manhattan. They have some amazing graphic shirts.

As a corporate woman, I attend customer meetings on a regular basis. My colleagues, mostly men, are typically dressed in suits. When I first started attending meetings I would ALWAYS wear a suit to match my colleagues. As much as I love a well fitted suit, I never felt comfortable wearing a suit to my customer meetings.  I found alternative outfits to wear. Today's outfit being one. 

The top is feminine, which I love in my office outfits. The J.Crew trousers are straight, cropped leg. This makes the pants look tailor for my petite body. It's a little difficult to see, but I'm wearing a wool camel color blazer under my coat. Instead of wearing a matching blazer, I like to wear different textures and colors for business meetings. The same holds true for my heels. The outfit is anything but traditional, but still looks professional for the office.

Good morning! Big thanks to everyone who follow along my Amazon Fashion Instagram takeover.

Today's outfit is part II of one of my favorite looks on my blog, the original post is here. This season I've been layering a lot with this J.Crew Blazer and different scarves. The blanket scarf is my current favorite. I've had my eye on the coveted red tartan scarf, but I think I missed the boat. I'm unable to track down one of those scarves...that's still available.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. See you on Monday.

An exciting day for Corporate Catwalk. I'll be taking over Amazon Fashion's Instagram page! Be sure to follow along on Instagram.

***
This dress is from Banana Republic, and it has been hanging in my closet for two months! I've been waiting for it to get a little colder outside before wearing it to work. I bought it during the Roland Mouret x Banana Republic collaboration. That collection was one of my favorite. I love the material and the make of each dress. They also had a beautiful red dress in the collection. I passed on that piece, but regret it every day. What’s so great about this dress is that it can be worn to work or to a holiday dinner party, etc. As for these Kurt Geiger heels, I purchased these from Lord & Taylor. They're a few blocks away from me in NYC and they always have GREAT sales. I've always been a department store, kind of girl. Who doesn't love 25% off your entire purchase!


Have a good rest of the day and see everyone on Friday!

Lately, I've been wearing basic outfits and adding a few fun accessories to brighten up the look. A scarf and/or sunglasses are a great way to take a "boring" outfit to instant chic.  For example, I'm wearing a basic neutral palette in today's look. By adding the tartan scarf and mirror sunglasses, it gives the look a more stylish appeal. What I love most about this look is that I can wear this into the office. When I walk in the door, I take off my sunglasses and scarf and I'm now wearing a business professional outfit. It's great during the winter to have a scarf handy at your desk. We've all been in offices that are 50 degrees throughout the day. Just a little food for thought, try adding a textured scarf and mirrored sunglasses to spice up your basic workwear.
