Though not an immediate fan of culottes, I quickly changed my mind after slipping into this white jumpsuit.  A culotte pantsuit is intriguingly deceptive as it looks much like a dress, while giving you the ease and comfort of a jumpsuit and ensuring you stand out in a room.  This white number, which I rented from Rent The Runway, turned out to be both flattering and fun to wear when paired with simple strappy heels and jewelry with clean lines.  And even though I’m blonde with fair skin, I didn’t shy away from the white.  Too often people think white can only be worn with a tan, and I’m here to say that’s a whole lot of nonsense.  Truly, MKR

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
