  6. I normally don;t like suits, but it's hard to resist that red little Chanel number! The D&G floral two-piece is wonderful as well.

  7. Oh I love a well tailored suit!! Personally, prefer something very simple, a stylish slightly understated suit that hugs a frame in all the right places and can be dressed up or down. Love those pictured in numbers 1, 3 and 4, love the whole Michal Kors ansemble - great shoes to go with this suit! The preen suit is also real pretty :)

  19. You will never know how much I love suits and what a difficult task it is to find "the one" perfect suit! My choice would be the suit by Oscar de la Renta, but I also would not mind few others. :-)

    ReplyDelete

  23. Happy sweet tuesday, CC!

    I´m honestly not a fan of suits as I have always the fear they are not comfortable enough to wear during the day. But for the Chanel... too gorgeous and tres chic stylish!

    Have a beautiful day ahead!!!

  24. That first Akris suit literally took my breath away!

    Now I just have to figure out where and why I need a suit and strut it out - soon!

  30. The Michael Kors suit had me at "hello". Anyone could wear that. Chic and modern. It looks great enough to wear just to look good. No office setting necessary.

  33. oh I love them all, especially the one with the big bow! I love elegant pieces, however I have been really fed up with office clothing lately. I think I spent too much time at the office :))

  36. In general I like mixing things up but a Chanel tweed suit would be excessively lovely. The Dolce & Gabbana is ever so pretty too.

  37. I love the freedom of fashion in the sense that you can take a blazer, skirt, and slacks...throw it all in a "design blender" with prints, augmentations, various line details...and come up with an infinite amount of configurations. It was great seeing photos of all those lovely ensembles side-by-side. In that format it really gives one an appreciation for the multitude of arrangements a simple suit can render.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Some great looks! Makes me want to throw away every boring traditional interview suit in my closet. I don't think I'd dread dressing up for client meetings if I had a single suit from this group.

  41. I like the collarless suits Coco Chanel would wear. I guess my favorite would have to be the Monique Lhuillier, because of how it added a more..I guess, playful, edge to it.

  42. I was always against suits but this has certianly changed my mind.

  69. Gorgeous picks as always CC. For real life, I would have to go with the sophisticated corporate look of Michael Kors, but I have a soft spot for that lovely corset from Antonio Berardi (the model is freaky though!!)
