Conference Room AC

You know what you can always count on when you're on a work trip? Cold conference rooms. I guarantee it. You know what those call for? Cardigans.

Gap, Eversoft Cardigan, $39

A great pop of color to layer over an lbd or with navy pants.

Anthropologie, Isis Cardigan, $88

A lambswool and cashmere blend is just the right amount of cozy for work.

Target, Mossimo Faux-Leather Cardigan, $34

So simple and chic. The small panels are eye catching without being distracting.

Ann Taylor, Chain Trim Cardigan, $79

Just beautiful detailing on this cardigan. I love the merlot color as well.

Cardigans are essential for work trips. You never know when you have to sit in a freezing conference room, car, train, plane, or hotel room.

Flat Footed

Shoes! The all important shoes for long meeting days. Let's discuss. I envy women who can walk around in these all day, but I'm totally ok with never being that woman. Until then, these are my go to.

Nordstrom, Steve Madden Envd Flat, $98

In my opinion these are worth every penny. Detail, color and texture will save your feet after a long day. Also comes in black, red, or plum.

Shopbob, Boutique 9 Sophina Metallic Kitten Heel, $91

This is a great day or evening shoe. Picture it with a navy suit or a LBD.

Bloomingdale's, Steve Madden Paigge Leopard Print, $69

A short little heel with a big print. Just great for a long day of meetings or a conference.

Macy's, Calvin Klein Nicki, $99

If you looked up standard heel in the dictionary, this image would appear. Every women needs one of these in her closet.

For my trip this week I will be enjoying 14 hour days of standing/running, so these shoes would be just perfect for me.

Dress for Success

We're continuing my travel/work trip themed posts and looking at dresses. I prefer wearing dresses when on a work trip because they take up less room in my suitcase and it makes accessorizing or layering a lot easier.

Taylor, Emerald and Black Houndstooth Dress, $61

A beautiful patterned dress that you can ball up in your suitcase and it won't wrinkle.

Target, Merona Longsleeve Lace Dress, $34

Kate Middleton would be so proud of you in this dress. Just a lovely shade of red for fall.

Dorothy Perkins, Black and Ivory Skater Dress, $49

 Simple and beautiful on any body type, this dress is ready to go from day to night.

Piperlime, Pim + Larkin Mixed Jacquard Sheath, $79

This can be worn alone or with a navy blazer. Easy, bright, professional.

A good work dress is an item you should be able to wear to interviews, big meetings, and general dressier professional occasions. Bonus points if you can layer a crewneck sweater on top and wear it as a skirt.

It's in the the Bag

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I'm traveling this week for work so this week's posts will be travel/business themed. I hope you enjoy!

First things first, packing. But suitcases are kind of boring to write about so let's talk travel purses. I'm talking a fit-it-all yet still look chic bag that you can take on the plane.

Piperlime, Danielle Nicole Adeline Satchel, $98

The options are quite endless for this structurally-fabulous bag. Two straps, great closure, tie a silk scarf on it for extra umph. Or get the taupe version on sale. 

C Wonder, Ikat Coated Canvas Tote, $78

A beautiful tote that easily wipes off any rogue coffee spills. It's also 19 inches across which means its perfect for any laptop.

Free People, Slouchy Vegan Tote, $68

This reversible. Yes, reversible, it's a lipstick red on the inside. Is perfect for travel. Soft and supple, ready to throw everything in and go.

Talbots, Buffalo Plaid Tote, $99

Ok, don't be mad at me, I know this is $99. But look at it. It's stunning. Classic.

Invest in a larger tote that works for you. Everyone has different needs when they travel. Do you like more pockets, two straps, leather, laptop-ready? Be picky and you'll have it for a long time.
