When I’m “all business” and in #GSD mode, I stick to tried-and-true wardrobe essentials I can depend on, like a boyfriend button down shirt.  Though part of my daily uniform running around the A, button down shirts are too casual for many of my business meetings. This silk version (less expensive version here), instead instantly elevates the outfit when paired with a chic pencil skirt (similar HERE). 

Just because a pencil skirt is form fitting, many people shy away from wearing pencil skirt outfits.  I actually carry my weight in my upper thighs and hips, and appreciate pencil skirts for their ability to hug in just the right places, while even making me appear taller.  I always search for a pencil skirt that hits in just the right spot—under the knees—and I make a quick visit to my seamstress to get it hemmed if it’s ever too long. Business casual can easily translate to business chic when you’re feeling confident in a stylish, yet comfortable power outfit.  Truly, MKR
