WORK IT WEAR by M.M. LAFLEUR

Happy Monday! To spice up the start of your week, let me introduce you to a new high-style yet office-appropriate line: M.M. LAFLEUR. Brought to us by a former designer for Zac Posen and Jason Wu, M.M. LAFLEUR creates a fashionable alternative to the business suit: the stylish yet professional dress that fits like a glove. The quality of material and construction, the attention to little details, and the foxy feminine cut of this simple, sophisticated blue gray number had me itching to make it my own. For those of us that don’t work in a traditional office setting, sauce it up with some sassy black sandals, and gold and black jewelry. And for those of you that do, put the sass to work for after-work drinks, a cocktail party or wedding event. Win-win!

Mad Men-esque, super versatile, and to top it off: the collection runs under $300 a pop, and many of the pieces can be machine-washed!

Boring business suits, be gone!

    I’m not sure exactly why but this weblog is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later and
    see if the problem still exists.
