For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning. In general, this feature is not about interview suits, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional.

Personally, I love that they are trying to sell us TWO HUNDRED (200) knock-off LV bags. Just what I needed!
Along the lines of suits… Where does BCBGeneration think women work? Honestly. I have BCBG stuff (wearing a shirt now, actually), but the Generation line is terrifying.

And I quote “polished and professional”.

How is that sophisticated?
Rant over.
Never. Great for the movies, maybe – the female lead in the next George Clooney ‘office’ thing – but NEVER to be worn in a serious professional setting, regardless of cup size, build, hair color or anything else. Camisole and all that be damned, just start with the right suit for the job. This isn’t. Even Miranda Priestley at 35 could not pull this off. But it’s fun too look at.
It there some seriously bad Photoshop going on with her lower half, or is it just me?
Can I just voice my distaste over how anorexic the model appears to be?
