<strong>BACK TO BLACK</strong>
<br><br>
<strong>Campbell: </strong>"Like the basic black dress, a basic black top has been around for a long time. This top is a classic shirt to add to your essential wardrobe. Black shirts come in many different styles to look trendy and modern, like <a href="http://us.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=33060&storeId=13052&productId=5887183&langId=-1&siteID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-SRY11aydEGKH3Iny162_ww&cmpid=aff_ls_tsus&_$ja=tsid:21416%7Cprd:Hy3bqNL2jtQ" target="_blank"><strong>this one with embellished detail</strong></a>. A perfect black top can be transitional from work and after work play.”
<strong>A LITTLE EDGE</strong>
<br><br>
<strong>Mozie: </strong>"When getting dressed for the office, you always want to look as professional and appropriate as possible. However, it is always a plus to put a flare on your ensemble by incorporating some edge. This <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Mango+Snake+print+pencil+skirt/164979539,default,pd.html?cm_mmc=AWIN-_-Deeplink-_-NULL-_-NULL&istCompanyId=17910aed-1bae-4362-9580-b523eb87a91e&istItemId=imrqpqmx&istBid=t" target="_blank"><strong>snakeskin pencil skirt</strong></a> adds a perfect amount of flare and edge without overpowering the outfit."
<strong>CAP IT OFF</strong>
<br><br>
<strong>Mozie: </strong>"You can tell a lot about a woman by the kind of shoes she wears. When getting dressed for work, comfort is always an important thing to factor. These <a href="http://us.asos.com/ASOS-PACEY-High-Heels-with-Metal-Toe-Cap/yjshc/?iid=2250245&MID=35719&affid=2135&WT.tsrc=Affiliate&siteID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-DDMfphRVSHbUadjGoqQzow&mporgp=L0FTT1MvQVNPUy1QQUNFWS1IZWVsZWQtU2hvZXMvUHJvZC8." target="_blank"><strong>cap-toe pumps</strong> </a>are a perfect touch for your work ensemble. They are trendy, chic, and the 4 inch heel is just high enough to keep you fashionable without straining your feet by lunchtime."
<strong>FEMININE & FLIRTY
</strong>
<br><br>
<strong>Campbell: </strong>“It goes without saying that every woman needs a great dress skirt. A skirt is womanly and can be flirty or businesslike <a href="http://www.hm.com/us/product/03205?article=03205-B" target="_blank"><strong>like this black skirt</strong></a>. Nowadays women do not wear many skirts or dresses, which makes a lot of them fall into a rut of dressing sloppily or like men."
<strong>HIGH STAKES</strong>
<br><br>
<strong>Campbell:</strong> "These dark colored pants are what you want to look for. Black is flattering on all figures and goes with everything. <a href="http://us.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=34072&storeId=13065&productId=5978554&langId=-1&siteID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-rX8PLpZxYpRZDdHkGIFNMA&cmpid=aff_ls_dp&_$ja=tsid:23256|prd:Hy3bqNL2jtQ" target="_blank"><strong>These pants</strong></a> with the higher waist are perfect. A narrower leg is coming back in style with a higher waist, which eliminates the unflattering 'muffin top' look."
<strong>POWER PLAY</strong>
<br><br>
<strong>Mozie: </strong>"Nothing expresses confidence and style better than a strong statement piece. <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Planet+Red+collarless+cropped+jacket/166423348,default,pd.html?cm_mmc=AWIN-_-Deeplink-_-NULL-_-NULL&istCompanyId=17910aed-1bae-4362-9580-b523eb87a91e&istItemId=imrqpqmx&istBid=t" target="_blank"><strong>This red jacket</strong></a> is not only professional and comfortable, it is also trendy and chic. The classic one button detail gives the ensemble a timeless appeal and the red color keeps it fresh, young, and in style."
