My Life, Styled :: Bright Day at the Office

I (Jen) believe that having an office job is no excuse to throw fashion out the window, and I love the challenge of finding ways to incorporate current trends into professional attire. Just because you might be spending your summer behind a computer screen, doesn’t mean you can’t do so in style, right? Take this look for example: it’s right on trend with crazy bright neon, but take away the color and it is still a perfectly appropriate pencil skirt and top. Currently interviewing for jobs? I think this is an amazing way to stand out among a sea of other applicants! I wore this outfit to a meeting with a publicist, and on set for a segment of Bethenny Frankel’s new talk show, and both times it was a total hit. Keep reading for some tips on how to pull this look off, plus product info!

If you are going head-to-toe neon, I recommend keeping your pieces in the same color family. Too many contrasting brights can look busy and overwhelming. For a more subtle look, pair this neon skirt with a neutral top, like a drapey black tee or white button-down.

When tucking shirts in, I always wear a belt. Not only does it create a more flattering waist definition, but it covers that awkward area where shirts tend to bunch up.
