STYLE GURU STYLE: Getting Business Done in Style

March 21st, 2016 at 2:06am

Hey, Fashionistas. Being a fashion design major, there comes a lot of times where we have to do many presentations. In this specific occasion, my class took a trip downtown to the Kohl’s Corporate building to share our spring/summer collections we designed for one of their private brands. So it’s best to be dressed appropriately and look presentable. One of my pieces of advice to feel confident in a presentation is to of course look and feel your best. You want people to take you seriously and in this outfit I was totally channeling some European vibes.

For this look, I took inspiration from Chanel fall 2016 ready-to-wear collection. Chanel is famously known for her little black dress, but also for her classic tweed fabrics in boxy silhouettes. This dress is a great example of Chanel’s classics mixed with modern elements like the leather trims. The tweed fabric gives off a very expensive and mature look, but the big pockets in the front add a playful element. This style is great for class presentations because of the professionalism and is sure to give any Fashionista a boost of confidence to wow the class.

I paired off the tweed dress with a feminine sheer white button-up shirt, leggings and lace-up black booties. You could definitely do without the leggings, but where I’m from it’s still a bit chilly. This outfit definitely made me feel a little more confident, and I actually got lots of compliments on my dress.

Get My Look: 1. Tweed dress. 2. Classic long sleeve button-up. 3. Black booties.
