Suited for the job

"You gotta look good. See, when you look good you feel good. You feel good, you sell good." -Deion Sanders

Owning a basic black suit is necessary for any woman's closet. There are many variations of what a basic black suit can be... Shift dress with a jacket, skirt, shorts, slacks, or jumpsuit all accompanied with a blazer. I have learned an invaluable lesson after being caught without my basic black one time too many. Scrambling to find something appropriate to wear to a presentation left me without many options and resulted in my looking unprofessional and uncomfortable, which lended to a fumbled presentation that I already had rattled nerves for.

I invested in a basic black suit. Years have passed and that suit remains in my wardrobe. I update it with belts and bows and blouses. I'm preparing for an interview and it's time for another update. Vests are a great piece for the wardrobe. It can be worn during any season. I can pair my vest with my black skirt and wear an amazing blouse under it. Another chic and modern look is to cinch my waist with a wide belt over the jacket. Both looks are professional, all the while updating and adding flair to what is otherwise simple.
