Workwear 101: Casual Chic

Kidada Jones hosts the Kidada for Disney couture party on 31 May 2007.
Genevieve Jones in the front row at the Alexandre Herchcovitch Spring 2008 Show at The Tent at Bryant Park on September 5, 2007 in NYC and Heather Headley stars in New March of Dimes Campaign, I Want My Nine Months Fights Growing Crisis of Premature Birth at Harlem Hospital on November 2, 2006.

This edition of Workwear 101 is for those women who work in relaxed environments but still want to look stylish. You need to feel comfortable to carry out your day-to-day tasks but dont want dress like an old matron. School teachers, writers, etc. are the type of professions that fit this category. Knee-length dresses that allow you to move easily, knit seperates and long pendants should be staples in your closet. Also think about adding high-waisted pants (below) to next seasons wardrobe. Theyre still big for Fall and very practical.
