OOTD- All Suited Up!

Belt: J Crew Skinny Belt (gift from sister- similar here)

Boots: Nordstrom (similar here)

Watch: Gift from Parents

Today my job required me to suit up. Now, I avoid wearing suits as much as possible. Though my job requires me to have several at my disposal (I had 4 at last count) they get very little action in my clothing rotation. It took me a very long time to come across a suit that did not on make me feel like a little kid playing dress up. Once I found that perfect suit, I was able to buy a classic black suit at a serious discount (via a friend who worked at the store).

That was over 3 years ago. Since then I have acquired three more suits by waiting for suiting sales. Since the suits get so very little action, I feel much better about my purchases because each suit was at a discount.

I also included a picutre of me without the jacket. I feel much more comfortable. With the suit I feel like I am wearing a uniform- never a good feeling to me.

Enjoy!
