I know I am always saying you should wear color, but there is a place and time for every career gal to shed some fear into the bones of her colleagues, nemesis or higher executives who are on the verge of losing their jobs. Or you just want to look elegant.

And we should never underestimate the slimming power of a well tailored black skirt suit with a distinct waist should we?

The Theory Tie Front Jacket and Pencil Skirt is just the thing to look business but also fashionable and smart. The suit is made of wool, with a faux-leather tie waist. I would prefer to wear it with interesting shoes, like the black and gold pumps I wrote about a while ago.
