Dress: BCBG. Belt: BCBG. Handbag: Gucci. Shoes: Boutique 9. Necklace: Stella & Dot. Watch: Michael Kors. Bracelets: Forever 21, J.Crew, BCBG. Rings: Kate Spade, Ardene.
Last week, the head honcho of our company visited our field office (where I’m located at work). It’s an unwritten rule to dress your corporate best when the big wigs show up. I’m not a matching 2 piece suit girl, so this is my version of formal corporate attire. . .traditional black and white, with pops of pink and gold.

LOOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE this outfit! As someone who has to wear a suit more than I like in a week it’s so good to see a great outfit for these types of occasions! You definitely look in charge!

Awww, thanks so much Maria! You are too sweet!
Love this outfit! Very chic!! The belt and the shoes make it!
Thanks so much Kristen!
YEAH Jenny without sunglasses
, I had to look twice 
. Love your cooporate outfit, and how you added some modern twist with the gold and pink heels to it. I am not a matching 2 pieces suit girl either so I hear ya and love your interpretation. Such a huge fan of gold accessoires as well, you look pretty as always and your eyes are pretty so you don’t have to hide them behind sunnies all the time 
Have a lovely start in the week

Ha ha ha, this one was for you Ani! It was totally your support that made me feel comfortable enough to ditch the sunglasses. Thank you so much for your amazing support!
Aww that’s too sweet of you Jenny and I slightly assumed that was the case as I was getting on your nerves with it probably the only one of your blogger friends hahahaha
. You are very welcome my dear Jenny, it’s just so much fun looking and reading though your blog
Ha ha, you were the only one to tell me that, but definitely NOT getting on my nerves!
Thank you so much Ani!
Nice shoes and handbag! Love it!
Thanks so much Kath, and thanks for visitng!

LOVE this look:) black and gold together is always so elegant!
I agree! Black and gold is one of my favourite combinations! Thank you Mehreen!
So true. I dress something corporate when the big boss are around. Love the classic look.
Thanks so much Chyrel, and thanks for visiting!
I’m totally with you Jenny, I’m not a 2 piece suit girl either. You can never go wrong with classic black and white. You look beautiful and probably the best dressed in the entire office!

Thanks! I’m definitely a gold girl!
I used to wear suits almost daily since it’s so easy but now I feel it’s so boring. This is a look I would wear if the big cheese came to my office.
You look fab!

Ha ha, thanks Alice! With so many fashion options these days, I find a suit to be a bit boring too.
Love this look! The pop of pink is perfect and your belt is beautiful.
Stephanie
Thank you so very much Stephanie!
Definitely an unwritten rule! I always wore my best suit and collared shirt at my old job. Now I see my CEO almost on a daily basis. My work culture is a little more relaxed now. Anyway, LOVE this outfit! So cute and professional at the same time!

Yes, it would probably be different if I worked in the same office as our CEO. I wouldn’t have to feel so formal on a daily basis I’m sure. Thanks so much Rachel!
i’m loving golden accessories and colorful shoes

Thanks Sheree! I love high waisted skirts, but surprisingly I don’t own many. I should definitely get some more!
You should totally get a promotion
In my book, this is just as professional as a suit, but looks way better.

P.S. I don’t know if you saw my post last Friday (Everything Old is New Again), but I would love for you to join in on the blogger challenge! You seem like you hang on to the classics, so I feel like you are well-equipped.
Ha ha, can you please be my boss!?
Thank you so much Sarah!

Thanks so much Sharon! I do try to not dress too seriously!
This is brilliant. I love everything about it. Is it really a dress?
Ha ha, yes, it’s a dress! Almost everyone that comments is always surprised when I say that! Thanks so much for visiting, Christa!
LOVE your belt! It’s such a great detail piece! Great look.

Thanks Lori! I definitely try to show a little creativity and personality, otherwise it just gets too boring!
Love this – I think the gold belt is my favourite and really pulls the whole outfit together.
Thanks so much Jane! The belt was definitely a good purchase. . .I get so much use out of it!
Wow Jenny I thought someone else is taking over your blog..haha! You look even cuter without those shades & love how you wore those hot pink shoes to offset corporate culture!!

Awww, thanks Jess!
I believe this is (my) first time seeing you without sunnies lol
You look so cute! (and alot younger dont know why haha)
Ha ha, yes, it’s the first time here without sunnies. I definitely look really young (even though I’m not), and that’s part of the reason I wear the sunglasses too. . .I feel it makes me look a tad older (or maybe it’s just wishful thinking)!
How long ago did you get that dress? I NEED it and didn’t see it online.
Also I love your blog! You have a great style!
Thank you so very much Christa! Unfortunately, this dress is probably at least 5 years old, but I have seen BCBG come out with many similar dresses since. If I see one soon, I’ll definitely e-mail you.
You look great! I’m sure your were the best dressed in the office!

This belt just as awesome written all over it.
Ha ha, thanks Laura!
I love the look, I think you picked the perfect outfit! It’s definitely work-appropriate and very professional but still you!
Also, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen you without sunglasses on! Just stunning!
Awww, that is just so sweet! Thank you so very much Miranda!
Totally thought the shirt and skirt were two pieces… I’ve been looking for a paperbag skirt just like that. Looks great on you, Jenny!
xo, alison*elle
Thanks Alison! People confuse this for a top and skirt all the top. It would probably be more versatile if it were two pieces, but I loved the dress so much that I bought it anyways.
Love the gold belt and pink shoes, they give this gorgeous dress a little pop! Im sure you stood out from the rest
