Packing Outfit by Outfit: Pink, Maroon and Black, for Business

The weather's cold, and you've got to go on a business trip.  A SERIOUS trip...

Start with a comfort garment - the favorite cardigan will make you happy, and will suggest your color scheme too!  A couple of outfits that bring in all the pieces of your black suit, and a couple of jazzy red garments, and you're all set for business events.  One simple dress, and everything will fit in a carry-on bag.

A black winter coat, and some gloves, will be needed here, of course:

Tee shirt – Mint Velvet, jeans – Paige, earrings – Toosis,  watch – Cartier,  scarf – Please, cardigan – Circus Hotel, loafers – Naturalizer, handbag – Lacambra

First day in the home office - better look serious!

Garnet stud earrings – John Lewis, tee shirt – Pinko, briefcase – Brooks Brothers, skirt – Linea, blazer – Linea, scarf – Ana Maison, pumps – Sofft

And you know they're going to take you out to dinner...

Earrings – Doris Mhor, clutch bag – Colle-cte, dress – Rag and Bone, scarf – Vince Camuto, pumps – Sofft

Second day in the office is a lot more mellow, because you're actually going to have to do some work.

Tee shirt – Cruciani, pants – Linea, cardigan – Lupatelli, loafers – Clarks, necklace – Milena ZU

 A couple more outfits - one that's office worthy (and could easily support a cardigan or your suit jacket), and a more casual option for evenings, weekends, or your return trip.

Bllouse– Biba, Skirt – Merona, sweater – Iro, corduroy pants – Isabel Marant Etoile

This is everything:
