GRAY VERSATILITY

One of the things I look out for whenever I buy clothes is versatility.  I love thinking about endless possibilities of mixing and matching as well as how one clothe can transform to different function and styles. This gray dress from Victoria Beckham is one of it.  I think I have featured this in my blog already as one of my chosen empowering clothes in my powerdress series.  Now, I am featuring it as an outerwear.  The top to bottom back zipper allows it to look like a coat when you turn it around the other way.  I am not sure if it is meant to be used that way as well but I did it anyway. I paired it with a basic shift dress and off I go to another client presentation meeting again today.

WHAT I WORE:

MEETING READY

Being a landscape architect, I usually go to client meetings to present my design ideas for projects that I am in charge of.  Today is one of those days when I have to dress up more in a business manner.  This furry gray coat never fails to empower me; you know, that unexplainable thing when your clothes affect the way you act and carry yourself the whole day.  Well, this is that "thing" for me.  I love the softness of it and the belted waist.  My inner outfit is more simple so as to complement the statement outer wear.  As I have mentioned in my older posts, I usually keep my work wear simple and then I throw in a statement piece for interest and pizzazz.
