Work attire this fall is positively luxurious.

The midi skirt – or as I like to call it – the skirt – seems to be here/back to stay and has multiple silhouettes for various levels of office business attire expectations.

The fabrics are rich but comfortable.

While shades of the 60’s and 70’s are having a highly publicized moment, I am feeling a bit of the 40’s and 50’s elegance in the tailored, classic pieces.

Lovely button detail on the cuffs & also comes in a gorgeous peacock blue.

Silky Drape Neck Blouse – The Limited $35.97

Medium fuller figures let us rejoice at the body conscious, curve appreciating lines on this dress. And that color! Pop! Wow!

Sloan-Fit Cobalt Cross Front Sheath – Banana Republic $140

Well hello perfect summer / fall transition skirt in an easy on the hips modified pencil / A-line silhouette!

Aptitude for Anthropology Skirt in Forest Green – ModCloth $64.99

Tough day ahead? Put on your “Chanel-a-like” biker jacket and feel the subtle, sexy power! (You won’t even need coffee!)

Darya Tweed Jacket – L.K. Bennett $425

This pattern also comes in a flowy, work appropriate dress. I was truly torn as to which to highlight but I think the blouse has more versatility across my readers. This exquisite little number can oomph up a black pencil skirt, surprise a suit, gussy up trousers and get down with a pair of jeans!

Flared Blouse in Black / Patterned – H&M $19.99
