This month: Adding Southwest Flair to an Everyday Business Suit

Wherever you live, you may want to add a little southwest style to your working wardrobe.

We took an everyday business suit in a light beige of lined linen for this purpose.  This is a good all-around suit for the southwest and can go through the seasons and even winter in milder areas.  The skirt is a bit longer and has a flare at the bottom which lends itself to southwest style.  Additionally the jacket is shorter and mirrors the beautiful bolero jackets of Spanish origin with a small standing Nehru collar. 

So having selected an appropriate suit with a style and cut that lend itself to our purpose, we can now begin to add the southwest lair.

We have added a crocheted camisole in lieu of a tailored business shirt.  The camisole is in a darker shade and matches the suit beautifully.  We then added a linen scarf with a sheen to its texture and fringe on the edges.  A gold medallion on a leather thong completes the look. 

This outfit can pair nicely with a light or cream pair of boots, or a darker brown Granny boot.  Depending on where you're going, peep-toes or high clogs could work well.  But if you do not select boots and are in an office environment select a suitable pump in a taupe.
