Gone are the days when secretaries covered up their entire bodies when going into to the office. Not only do real secretaries dress less conservatively these days, many women who aren’t even secretaries sport the look. According to Style Bytes, the secretary look isn’t dead…so here’s our rendition that’s more suitable for a wine bar than for the cubicle.
Fashion Formula for the Sexy Secretary= Plum Cardigan + Short sleeved White Shirt + Pencil Skirt + Peep-toe Pumps.
Caslon Dolman Sleeve Cardigan | $44.90 (sale) at Nordstrom
Diane von Furstenberg "Vespa" Cap Sleeve Shirt | $145 at Nordstrom

If you think trying to match clothes is hard, try trying to NOT match them. “How
does that make sense,†you’re thinking. “I thought the point of mismatching is that you don’t care enough about style to take the time to put together corresponding ensembles.†Although in the past matching clothing was synonymous with caring about fashion, today there’s a certain style to the I-look-like-I-just-threw-on-these-clothes-in-the-
dark-but-I-really-spent-quality-time-hand-picking-them look.
When mismatching your outfit, remember that it still has to look somewhat put-together. Yes, the point is to look like you threw on your outfit in the dark, but no, it’s not supposed to make you look like you could care less about what you’re sporting. Our favorite mismatched look? Don a big, colorful skirt and with a vintage rocker tee, a fashion formula courtesy of our fellow fashionista Agathe at Style Bytes.

Plaids have come a long way since Kurt Cobain’s flannel-wearing grunge days. The pattern – more grown up, mature and sophisticated – has been showing up on the runways, especially in the Fall 06 collections (Check out the plaid on the London runways, courtesy of Fashion Addict Diary). Plaid-happy? Here are a few pieces that translate better on the streets.

Spring is here, and pedicured toes will soon be popping out everywhere. But using a drab flat flip-flop to debut your Spring pedicure is not going to cut it anymore. Instead, put your feet on a pedestal – both literally and figuratively – and let your little toes breathe high and mighty.

Whether or not it’s freezing outside, a new layering trend has been spotted on the runways and models. Unlike the Marc Jacobs throw-on-everything-you-have-in-your-closet version seen at New York Fashion Week, this new type of clothing on clothing is strictly for jackets. Model Gemma Ward was seen sporting the look on the streets, while Sasha Pivovarova wore it on the runway (as seen at Style Tribe). Here are a few coats that will layer nicely (unless you live in a desert).
Pair #1: You can wear the floral print style under or over the khaki coat, but I would recommend the latter so that the beautiful details of the floral coat stand out.
Gold Brocade Blazer | $99.99 (sale) at Banana Republic
Pair #2: For a sportier look, the hoodie goes underneath the jean jacket.
Authentic Hoodie | $19.99 (sale) at Gap
Leather Jean Jacket | $198 at Gap
Pair #3: The bright hue peeking out from the herringbone short-sleeve jacket will be adorable.
Rubbish Half Sleeve Jacket | $48 at Nordstrom
Nick & Mo Short Sleeve Jacket | $54 at Nordstrom
