&lt;span style="text-align: center;"&gt;Yesterday, I&amp;nbsp;featured the black sheer top below with a variety of designer items. Today, I show you how to wear the featured black chiffon top anywhere, with anything! For only $12 this classic top is a versatile must-have piece that flatters any figure. The inexpensive top is a great addition to any wardrobe. See how&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;OC&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Profashional&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;takes this look from the office to the streets...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;"&gt;
&lt;div style="position: relative;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Pair the sheer top with a fitted pencil skirt and neutral colored blazer for an easy ready-to-wear work look. &amp;nbsp;Purchase a pair of ballet flats to wear comfortably around the office when your feet need a break from high heels. The amazing black flats from Asos are a steal, priced under $40. Also from Asos, find a hand bag that suits your profashional style for under $50!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Transform your top from day to night! Create an elegant date night look with the dark chiffon top as the centerpiece. Choose bold accessories like the statement necklace and ring from Chloe &amp;amp; Isabel. Invest in a pair of black jeans that fit and flatter your body shape. The jewel-toned clutch bag adds a pop of color to any look and is a great fall signature piece. Throw on a pair of pointed- toe flats and you're ready for date night, a concert or even cocktails with the ladies.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Guess which item in the collage above is not a pricey designer item?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
If you guessed the sheer chiffon top, you're right on the money! However, it was probably difficult to pick which item had the lowest price point in this overall glam look for fall.&amp;nbsp;With the right accessories and styling, you can make any look or item appear expensive. The look above would cost well over&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;$1,000&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;to recreate. &amp;nbsp;The Prada handbag alone would eat up an entire paycheck!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Whether you want to mix designer and non-designer items together or you want to make an entire look appear polished and pricey, we have the solutions for you! Check back tomorrow to see&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;OC&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Profashional &lt;/b&gt;style the&amp;nbsp;same chiffon top for a fraction of the cost!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

The large zipper pouch on the little black dress is perfect for your iPad. This might be a little wacky and unconventional, but definitely a fashion statement!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"If you haven't been shopping in a few months then you probably didn't get the memo or notice that peplum dresses are the hottest trend out there right now."&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;OC &lt;/span&gt;Profashional &lt;/b&gt;loves stylish work-ready looks achievable on a budget. It's no secret, working women love dresses. Quite simply, dresses are feminine and easy.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;A dress is &lt;b&gt;one&lt;/b&gt; article of clothing. Throw on a pair of pumps and you're ready to head to the office! If it's chilly outside, pair a dress with stockings and a jacket. Dresses are versatile and essential pieces in every woman's closet.&amp;nbsp;This week &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;OC&lt;/span&gt; Profashional &lt;/b&gt;explores the style genius behind the peplum dress.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="text-align: left;"&gt;Peplum dresses are the secret weapon in any woman's closet. F&lt;/span&gt;or those who are especially concerned with flaunting their mid-section, the peplum dress is perfect.&amp;nbsp;The peplum waist hides a belly and distracts from the mid-section. Plus, the peplum style is perfect for women with a boyish figure. The flared waist creates the illusion of a natural hourglass shape. With a variety of choices from long sleeves to cap sleeves, peplum dresses are great work-ready options.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;When shopping for a work appropriate peplum dress, look for...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JBV4-FxgZDU/UC-87a4SCKI/AAAAAAAABVQ/vhYA4uiVU-U/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JBV4-FxgZDU/UC-87a4SCKI/AAAAAAAABVQ/vhYA4uiVU-U/s1600/images.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;1. PROPER FIT &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The flared peplum should sit along your natural waistline. If the peplum is to high it will shorten the torso and leave your tummy exposed. If the peplum is too low it will do little to hide your mid-section and will actually make your hips look large.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;2. PROPER LENGTH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; In a professional enviornment modesty is important. Look for dresses that sit just above the knee or below the knee.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. PIPING&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Piping enhances the structure of the dress and defines how a dress will sit on one's frame. Choose peplum dresses with piping along the bodice to define the waist.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. PEPLUM SIZE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Some peplum dresses feature shorter or longer peplums. If you are wider around the mid-section look for dresses with long peplums that cover the mid-section entirely.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. LOOSE OR TAPERED SKIRT?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; For thin body types, wear peplum dresses with fitted skirts that taper close to the body. Fitted skirts are key, a loose skirt looks ill fitted and overwhelming on a small frame. For full figured women a tapered fit accentuates womanly curves. However, if you want to minimize your hips or thighs look for a loose skirt.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

This week &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;OC&lt;/span&gt; Profashional &lt;/b&gt;recognizes the peplum dress as one of the hottest trends this fall. The classic style has been around for years, but recently regained prominence in mainstream fashion. In the forties the peplum style was revered for its ability to draw attention to a tiny waist, while in the eighties it was a way to add drama to any look. Today, even celebrities rock peplum dresses on the red carpets. The peplum dress comes in a variety of styles for casual or formal occasions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This week &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;OC&lt;/span&gt; Profashional&lt;/b&gt; focused on the "profashional" male's concept of&amp;nbsp;work-wear&amp;nbsp;chic. Men's Fashion blog,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://tetinotete.tumblr.com/post/11699941369"&gt;Tetino- Tete&lt;/a&gt;, features amazing style inspirations for men. This pin-worthy look casual work ready chic at its finest. Dark wash denim jeans keep this look simple. The waist coat vest, vintage ascot and blazer set the tone. With the perfect blend of old and new world styles, the look evokes a modern day Mr. Darcy, would you agree?&lt;br /&gt;

Surely, the list would be incomplete without men's&amp;nbsp;outerwear, footwear and accessories. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Check out men's basic outerwear, footwear &amp;amp; accessories...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;"&gt;
&lt;div style="position: relative;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/mens_outerwear/set?.embedder=1760240&amp;amp;.svc=copypaste&amp;amp;id=56321749"&gt;&lt;img alt="Mens Outerwear" border="0" height="500" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/GDMJe877pugP0cJOctE41w/cid/56321749/id/j8cvCaLLQz26dksSRbTa_g/size/c600x500.jpg" title="Mens Outerwear" width="600" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"&gt;1. CARDIGANS &lt;/span&gt;These button up sweaters are easy and lightweight. Perfect for beating the office chill of the A/C or for breezy weather. Mix up colors and textures. Plus, feel free to try a striped or argyle pattern.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;2. PEACOAT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; No matter where you live, a peacoat is great for cool winter weather. The peacoat is often played up as a fashionable "heavy" coat. Undoubtedly, colder geographic locales might substitute a trench coat or parka for a peacoat.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;3. CASUAL BLAZER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The casual cotton or light blazer is great for adding sophistication to an everyday look without the rigidity of a formal suit jacket. Play around with different fabrics and colors. The casual blazer is a statement piece.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;"&gt;
&lt;div style="position: relative;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/mens_footwear_accessories/set?.embedder=1760240&amp;amp;.svc=copypaste&amp;amp;id=56322581"&gt;&lt;img alt="Men's Footwear and Accessories" border="0" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/jADydsMC1VLK9ydZjFrNaA/cid/56322581/id/4miJlIPDQPu6vwYnXysNmA/size/c600x436.jpg" title="Men's Footwear and Accessories" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;1. CASUAL SHOES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Try &lt;a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=263862002&amp;amp;tid=plaff2687457&amp;amp;ap=2&amp;amp;siteID=plafcid105"&gt;Sperry's sneakers&lt;/a&gt; or another similar style for a casual comfortable shoe.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Style Tip&lt;/b&gt;: Don't order directly from Sperry's check out Macy's or other department stores where you can redeem huge dicounts.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;2. CASUAL OXFORDS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Instead of formal black oxfords, try a brown, grey or tan oxford. Mix things up and keep it stylish with a cap toe oxford.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;3. CASUAL BOOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Always have a pair of sturdy boots that can be worn for functional or fashionable purposes. &lt;a href="http://www.infinityshoes.com/Clarks-Mens-Desert-Boot-Casual-Boot-2987.html?utm_source=linkshare&amp;amp;utm_medium=merchandiserfeed&amp;amp;siteID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-vtXbR.tSwRtWkSNTwJlvdw"&gt;Clarks&lt;/a&gt; are always an easy choice.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;4. SUNGLASSES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Look for a timeless style like Ray Ban or Aviators.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;5. TIMEPIECE &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;A watch is a functional accessory. Choose something modern and clean. Save the fancy Rolex for those who can afford it. Look for a classic durable watch.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;6. WALLET&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Grown up men carry some kind of wallet or money clip. No loose cash in pockets!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;7. LEATHER BELT &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Always match your shoes and belt.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

However, the ambitious professional who wishes to be taken seriously expresses his fashion know-how outside of work! The days of band t-shirts and converse sneakers should no longer part of the young adult males wardrobe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;See how &lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;OC &lt;/span&gt;Profashional breaks down men's casual wear wardrobe basics...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;"&gt;
&lt;div style="position: relative;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;"&gt;
&lt;div style="position: relative;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/mens_casual_wear_basics/set?.embedder=1760240&amp;amp;.svc=copypaste&amp;amp;id=56320101"&gt;&lt;img alt="Men's Casual Wear Basics" border="0" height="453" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/eo9kfbB1CfF5DZICmQuNg/cid/56320101/id/bF2BHnKETZ60EyB_5xoR2w/size/c600x453.jpg" title="Men's Casual Wear Basics" width="600" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;1. BLANK T-SHIRTS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Simple and necessary. Enough said.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. POLO SHIRT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; This classic style is perfect for an afternoon date at the golf course or lunch with a lady friend.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Style Tip:&lt;/b&gt; Polo shirts are designed to be fitted and structured. Avoid baggy polos.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;3. CLASSIC BUTTON-UP&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; You can buy this&amp;nbsp;garment&amp;nbsp;virtually anywhere. For the best fit and quality expect to pay a little more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Style Tip: &lt;/b&gt;As a general rule of thumb, avoid loud colors, shiny material and obnoxious patterns.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. OXFORD SHIRT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; This style is different then your standard button up. The oxford cut is the optimal casual button up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Style Tip: &lt;/b&gt;Chambray is a different cloth than oxford, however the cut/fit is the same.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;5. DARK WASH DENIM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; No matter, boot cut or skinny you can never go wrong with a dark jean.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"&gt;6. SLIM KHAKIS &lt;/span&gt;Otherwise known as "Chinos" these slim fit pants are ideal for any&amp;nbsp;occasion. Always look for a slim fit with no pleats.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;"&gt;

&lt;i&gt;"&lt;span style="color: orange; font-weight: bold;"&gt;OC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt; Profashional &lt;/b&gt;places strong emphasis on young professional style. The generation of work place trendsetters brings a sense of youth and playfulness to the otherwise typical and expected work wear of elder generations. These "profashionals" know exactly how to bridge the gap between what is fashionable and trendy and what is appropriate and wearable at work."- &lt;b&gt;Erin Walsh, Founder&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Today, walk into any office and you might spot young men in colorful ascots, patterned pocket squares and skinny suit pants. Work place styles vary from entry- level managers to senior executives, however expectations of professionalism remain the same. Whether at home or at work, the professional male should possess an arsenal of basic styles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This week &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;OC &lt;/span&gt;Profashional &lt;/b&gt;will break down the basics of the young male profashional's wardrobe. We will kick off this week's trending topic with an exploration into formal business attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Let's breakdown the basics...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;"&gt;
&lt;div style="position: relative;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/mens_business_wear_basics/set?.embedder=1760240&amp;amp;.svc=copypaste&amp;amp;id=56317852"&gt;&lt;img alt="Men's Business Wear Basics" border="0" height="443" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/RCw1BoQlQNQZL5pC8SQQ/cid/56317852/id/ZPKqFWxNSX_38th8nA85Fw/size/c600x443.jpg" title="Men's Business Wear Basics" width="600" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;1.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;GREY AND/OR NAVY SUIT&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Feel free to experiment with different tones and textures, however opt for timeless classic cuts. Whether you prefer a skinny leg trouser or a less-fitted straight leg, find a suit that suits your tastes and comfort level. Suits are essential for interviews, work days and work functions.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Style Tip:&lt;/b&gt; Grey and Blue hues dictate an heir of professionalism. In terms of color psychology, these colors are appealing to the masses. On the otherhand, while black suits look sharp, they can often project an aggressiveness that might be considered overly zealous at an interview. If you are on a budget stick to suits in grey or blue.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;2.&lt;/i&gt; TIES &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;All males should have 2"-3" ties in classic non-garish colors and designs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Style Tip:&lt;/b&gt; Every male should have a black tie. Black ties are versatile and perfect for "black tie" events!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;3. COTTON SHIRTS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Make sure to purchase button-ups specifically for your professional wardrobe and keep another set for your casual wardrobe. &amp;nbsp;Always have one in white and one in black. Purchase other shirts based &amp;nbsp;on your style preference.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Style Tip:&lt;/b&gt; Always make sure your shirt is lighter than your tie! Plus, buy shirts in cotton fabric, they tend to breathe better.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;4. BLACK OXFORDS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; When shined and polished oxfords dress up any look.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Style Tip:&lt;/b&gt; Always purchase genuine leather shoes! Leather is easy to clean, durable and appropriate with any outfit.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://jcrew.com/"&gt;J.Crew's&lt;/a&gt; Fall 2012 Men's Collection received praise and accolades from men everywhere. The polished looks and tailored fits brought a simplistic sensibility to professional menswear. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;“The collection is more polished and more precise -- the look, the hair, everything,"&amp;nbsp;said&amp;nbsp;Frank Muytjens, head of the men's design team for J. Crew, "with deep, inky blues and blacks -- like the colors in an oil slick.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;Whether it's casual or professional suits, men can expect to see the trend of precise tailoring and classic cuts return to the runway in 2013. Look for layered patterns, subtle greys, taupes and other neutrals. With the trend towards minimalism expect to see the dark hues return, however in a more modern structural fashion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
From pantaloons and petticoats to corsets and garters, lingerie continues to evolve. &amp;nbsp;For years, women attempted to alter their figures to fit the trends of the decade. Women of the Victorian Age opted for thimble-thin waists, while flappers in the twenties concealed bust lines in favor of a more boyish figure. Today, not much has changed, women still epitomize a womanly hour glass shape and embrace any lingerie that enhances female assets. Above all other lingerie companies, Victoria's Secret seems to stand out among competitors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Known for their feminine flair and backed by a bevy of beauties, they call Angels, Victoria's Secret is an enviable lingerie empire. Victoria's Secret sets the trends and consistently reaches consumer markets in new and exciting ways. In 2004, Victoria's Secret launched a new sub-brand to reach a younger market. The sub-brand, &lt;a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/pink"&gt;Pink&lt;/a&gt;, markets age-appropriate underwear and lounge wear to teens and young adults. "Tweeners" everywhere rock Pink fashions and will soon graduate to the more adult collections offered at Victoria's Secret. Recently, &lt;a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/pink"&gt;Victoria's Secret Pink&lt;/a&gt; introduced a slew of new collections including: NFL by Pink, MLB by Pink and the Collegiate Collection. Ultimately, Victoria's Secret developed &lt;a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/pink"&gt;Pink&lt;/a&gt; as a profitable brand which caters to a unique audience and offers a wide array of products. &amp;nbsp;With the success of the brand, Victoria's Secret is presently opening &lt;a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/pink"&gt;Pink&lt;/a&gt; stores across the U.S.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Earlier this month, &lt;a href="http://www.fullpicture.com/"&gt;Full Picture&lt;/a&gt; asked OC Profashional to attend the celebratory opening of the first Southern California Victoria's Secret Pink store. OC Profashional was also asked to interview Victoria's Secret Angel, Elsa Hosk and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Pitcher, C.J. Wilson.&amp;nbsp;Thursday, May 31, I arrived at Fashion Island in Newport Beach. &amp;nbsp;I found myself amidst a slew of devoted &amp;nbsp;fans lined up to meet the celebrities. &amp;nbsp;One fan, even held a hand-painted picture of the Angel's pitcher. As fans eagerly waited outside I slipped inside the store. OC Profashional arrived early, so I took the opportunity to get a sneak peek at all the amazing Pink fashions. The &lt;a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/pink"&gt;Pink &lt;/a&gt;store is filled with colorful panties, bras and apparel that any girl would swoon over. From an over-sized striped sofa chair to the iconic Pink dogs, the store suits the colorful personality of the Pink brand.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Youthful beauty, Elsa travels across the states to promote the new &lt;a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/pink"&gt;Pink &lt;/a&gt;stores. Her angelic look and spirit shine as the face of &lt;a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/pink"&gt;Pink&lt;/a&gt;. She posed for pictures and enthusiastically commented on the new line of MLB apparel. &amp;nbsp;Of course, C.J. showed his support for the line and his team. In fact, C.J. is an Orange County native and regularly participates in local fashion and music events. The two were easy on the eyes and a pleasure to interview. Check back soon for video footage of the interview.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
While business moguls on Wall Street may prefer designer duds, young aspiring professionals prefer more affordable fashions.  Let's face it, in a casual work environment most men don't care if a suit is Armani, they care about three things: &lt;strong&gt;price-point&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;fit&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;functionality&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.kohls.com/"&gt;Kohl's&lt;/a&gt; offers a large selection of men's work attire which appeals to professionals shopping on a budget.  Recently, I ventured to Kohl's with my boyfriend to find some great suit essentials. &lt;a href="http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/landingpages/croftbarrow/mens.jsp"&gt;Croft and Barrow's&lt;/a&gt; button- up shirts quickly caught my eye. The shirts come in a variety of hues and patterns.  Plus, from classic- fit to slim-fit, the shirts come in fit styles for every body shape. I love the box sets which include a shirt and tie, for only thirty dollars! &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
For just under one hundred dollars, one can purchase three &lt;a href="http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/landingpages/croftbarrow/mens.jsp"&gt;Croft and Barrow&lt;/a&gt; box sets! Male professionals know button-up shirts and ties are absolutely essential pieces in any work wardrobe.  The &lt;a href="http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/landingpages/croftbarrow/mens.jsp"&gt;Croft and Barrow&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;shirts and ties are stylish starter pieces at the right price.  Head to &lt;a href="http://www.kohls.com/"&gt;Kohl's&lt;/a&gt;, to take advantage of&amp;nbsp; great prices and fashions for men.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

Most offices take Casual Fridays a little to seriously. Just because suits and ties aren't a requirement, doesn't mean anything goes!  Especially, for&amp;nbsp;men who work in a casual work enviornment, it is important to understand the boundaries of what is "acceptable." From a fashion perspective, no matter what the workplace dresscode, clothes create a reflective image of the company and the individual. I say, why not make your image a professional one?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Here are three definite faux pas:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Text T's.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Shirts with text on the front and/or back are unacceptable at the office. Even if you love a certain baseball team or football team, the office is not the place to wear your favorite jersey. Shirts with text are visually distracting and deter from the message of professionalism you want to project at work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Try these instead...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=3504776&amp;amp;.svc=copypaste&amp;amp;id=51088073" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img hspace="4" src="http://ak1.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/s/tid/51088073.jpg" title="All-Son All-Son Covertible Military Shirt" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=3504776&amp;amp;.svc=copypaste&amp;amp;id=32488681" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img hspace="4" src="http://ak1.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/s/tid/32488681.jpg" title="Vintage polo" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=3504776&amp;amp;.svc=copypaste&amp;amp;id=52229067" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img hspace="4" src="http://ak2.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/s/tid/52229067.jpg" title="Roots Jasper Henley" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=3504776&amp;amp;.svc=copypaste&amp;amp;id=51593719" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img hspace="4" src="http://ak1.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/s/tid/51593719.jpg" title="Cotton Sweater" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Sandals.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Sandals are only for the beach or the pool, &lt;strong&gt;always&lt;/strong&gt;! While some work enviornments require dress shoes, in the casual work enviornment a less formal loafer, work boot or tennis shoe may be appropriate. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Try these instead...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=3504776&amp;amp;.svc=copypaste&amp;amp;id=55468219" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img hspace="4" src="http://ak1.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/s/tid/55468219.jpg" title="Asos Wingcap Shoes" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=3504776&amp;amp;.svc=copypaste&amp;amp;id=32422797" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img hspace="4" src="http://ak1.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/s/tid/32422797.jpg" title="Sperry Top-Sider® for J.Crew Authentic Original broken-in boat shoes" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=3504776&amp;amp;.svc=copypaste&amp;amp;id=55179465" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img hspace="4" src="http://ak1.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/s/tid/55179465.jpg" title="Suede lace up boots" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Shorts. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;No matter how hot it may be outside, shorts at the office are a no-no. In fact, only recently denim found its way back into the office.  Even still, denim has many regulations, including: wash, fit and style boundaries.  If you can't bear the heat try a light weight pant in a lighter fabric like linen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Try these instead...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=3504776&amp;amp;.svc=copypaste&amp;amp;id=55434545" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img hspace="4" src="http://ak2.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/s/tid/55434545.jpg" title="Koto Koto Slim Linen Pant" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=3504776&amp;amp;.svc=copypaste&amp;amp;id=55714060" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img hspace="4" src="http://ak1.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/s/tid/55714060.jpg" title="Asos Skinny Fit Chino Pants In Indigo" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=3504776&amp;amp;.svc=copypaste&amp;amp;id=55596663" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img hspace="4" src="http://ak2.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/s/tid/55596663.jpg" title="Crisp Linen Dress Pant" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Ultimately, think like an employer. Even in a casual work enviornment, make sure clothes show work is important to you. Concert tees and beach flip flops give the impression that one has better things to do than work at the office. Surely, we all know that you  do, but fashion is about creating illusions and impressions. Sometimes, success  is just about showing up and looking the part. The rest is just hard work, and  you might as well look good while you do it!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Good morning profashionals!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's time for this week's &lt;strong&gt;Monday Meeting&lt;/strong&gt;! I am so excited to announce &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;OC&lt;/span&gt; Profashional&lt;/strong&gt; reached 90 followers on Google Friend Connect over the weekend!  I think it might be time to initiate my first giveaway once I reach 100 followers. I will provide more details soon!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Meanwhile, for those of you who would like an update on my personal life...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lately, I am busy planning my college graduation photo shoot and graduation party. Of course, I already went shopping for the perfect dress to wear under my gown.  Surely, I will have plenty of photos to share with all my followers!  In other news, I recently interviewed with a fashion company I absolutely love. Hopefully, I will hear good news regarding the position later this week. Until then I'll keep my fingers crossed!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Trending this week?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I noticed a majority of my posts were catered towards women's fashion last week. This week I want to emphasize &lt;em&gt;men's&lt;/em&gt; fashions for the casual work environment.  Don't expect suits and ties! This week I will showcase a variety of affordable looks that are suitable for simply hanging out and appropriate for the office. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stay Stylish,&lt;br /&gt;

In keeping with this weeks' neon trend, I decided to showcase a fun and trendy &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;OC&lt;/span&gt; Street Style&lt;/strong&gt; look!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I am not &lt;em&gt;exactly&lt;/em&gt; rocking "neons" however, I am wearing some pretty bright and bold pieces with neon accessories. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Colorful skinny jeans are an absolute&amp;nbsp;must-have this year.&amp;nbsp;To add contrast and texture to my outfit, &amp;nbsp;I wore my teal jeans with an awesome leopard top I purchased at a cute boutique near my home.&amp;nbsp; For a subtle pop, I paired the look with shiny neon bracelets and a hot pink clutch from &lt;a href="https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;tbm=shop&amp;amp;q=urban+expressionsvegan+clutch+handbags&amp;amp;oq=urban+expressionsvegan+clutch+handbags&amp;amp;aq=f&amp;amp;aqi=&amp;amp;aql=&amp;amp;gs_nf=1&amp;amp;gs_l=products-cc.3...8082.11225.0.11414.17.17.0.0.0.0.73.1142.17.17.0.#hl=en&amp;amp;gs_nf=1&amp;amp;tok=_MF1EBXrTddEcTjuiMjLNA&amp;amp;ds=pr&amp;amp;pq=urban%20expressionsvegan%20clutch%20handbags&amp;amp;cp=18&amp;amp;gs_id=4&amp;amp;xhr=t&amp;amp;q=urban+expressions+vegan+clutch+handbags&amp;amp;pf=p&amp;amp;tbm=shop&amp;amp;sclient=psy-ab&amp;amp;oq=urban+expressions+vegan+clutch+handbags&amp;amp;aq=f&amp;amp;aqi=&amp;amp;aql=&amp;amp;gs_l=&amp;amp;pbx=1&amp;amp;bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&amp;amp;fp=2a74d7f00ad5be98&amp;amp;biw=1920&amp;amp;bih=954"&gt;Urban Expressions&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; To tone down the look I wore a neutral white blazer and my favorite black &lt;a href="http://www.stevemadden.com/"&gt;Steve Madden&lt;/a&gt; pumps. &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.367090143326670.80898.344575142244837&amp;amp;type=1"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; to see more photos on &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.367090143326670.80898.344575142244837&amp;amp;type=1"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;My favorite part of the look?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; My hot pink clutch. The bag fits everything I need and it's made with all vegan products so it's eco-friendly!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Hello profashionals!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What a weekend! The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ocfashionshowcase.com/"&gt;3rd&amp;nbsp;Annual&amp;nbsp;Orange County&amp;nbsp;Fashion Showcase&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; proved to be an incredible expereince.&amp;nbsp;My friend Lysset and I&amp;nbsp;loved dressing up and enjoyed all&amp;nbsp;the fashions. OC Profashional also had the opportunity to connect with some amazing Orange County designers and network with fashion influencers in the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope all my followers enjoyed the coverage of the showcase!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THIS WEEK'S TRENDING TOPIC:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NEON &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;is everywhere lately! Neon&amp;nbsp;is definitely the ultimate trend for summer. Intitially, I was a bit aprehensive about sporting bold brights. However, I must say,&amp;nbsp;a few neon pieces are a great addition to any wardrobe.&amp;nbsp;Don’t be afraid of color, embrace it! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;Neutral colors work well with neon to add balance to an&amp;nbsp;outfit. If you are still hesitant about the neon trend, start off small with accesories! There are many  ways to work bright colors into your closet, without feeling like you are living in the 80's. Check out my trend how-to tomorrow for more tips!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Check out these celebs sporting the &lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;neon&lt;/span&gt; trend this season...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;For the showcase, I wanted to achieve a somewhat edgy&amp;nbsp;urban-hipster look. I&amp;nbsp;decided on&amp;nbsp;the sleeveless, striped maxi-dress from &lt;a href="http://www.forever21.com/"&gt;Forever 21&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; I initially purchased the dress and thought it would be great for a summer BBQ or a day at the beach. &amp;nbsp;However,&amp;nbsp;the dress is so comfortable and versatile, I quickly found myself listening to the iconic words of fashion guru, Tim Gunn. &amp;nbsp;With no idea what to wear, I pulled the dress out of my closet and said to myself, "make it work!" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I did exactly that. I paired the dress with a black blazer and some of my favorite accessories, including my House of Harlow double sunburst pendant necklace. In the end, I&amp;nbsp; found the perfect balance, an edgy and urban look with a bit of sophistication.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;My favorite part of the dress?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Definitely the vertical stripes.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The stripes elongate and flatter any body type.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Any other styling tips? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The dress is perfect with wedges, a scarf and sunglasses for a more casual look. Or if you&amp;nbsp;need a stylish cover-up, just&amp;nbsp;throw the dress on over a bathing suit!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stay Stylish,&lt;br /&gt;
