@Drythe - I was thinking lost my way from the bar, lol.

Yes, to the cami underneath. This wouldn't work in any office I worked in, however, depending on where & what kind of office - fashion house, ad agency, high end dept store, fashion photography studio it would work.

Maybe if you worked for an escort service!

@lolakimono, that depends on where you work and your line of work. I don't think that I ever had a job where that outfit would be appropriate.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

Nor did I. I spent the bulk of my career having to dress in what I'd call "Wall Street Appropriate". This outfit would never be okay, not even with a cami under it.

I think it's a beautiful suit. Not digging the front slit in the crop pants. I think the girl is too tall to call them ankle pants.

If the pants had been a nice straight leg (not skinny leg) trouser that came below my ankle, I could see me wearing a suit like this, with something under the blazer - maybe a pale coral colored shell - to my great niece's Communion in the spring (dang I nearly wrote next year, lol).

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

The color is gorgeous, and I'd love it in a top or sweater.

I'm amused at them referring to this as "work wear". I find it far too "slinky" to consider it a work outfit, except of course in sort of competitive fashion environments, like an avant garde gallery or fashion magazine or something. Even then, I wouldn't be comfortable wearing it to work in-- I prefer a more reserved, subtle look in that environment.

I would add "or think I have no mirror in my house"

It would look great under my lab coat.

Wait a minute! The model is carrying an evening bag with some glitz, is wearing some glitzy gold shoes and earrings, and is braless with a plunging neckline, and they consider this "workwear chic"? Maybe in a NYC ad agency, but not in any "normal" work environment elsewhere in this country!
