Dress and be Merry

Business Social. Presenting a professional , elegant image is critical, and you can't go wrong with a tailored dress or a cocktail suit. Opt for a great fitting or a modern sophisticated pant suit. If you fall in love with something sleeveless, drape a pashmina or shawl over your shoulders and take the basic outfit from good to great.

Dinner Party with Friends. A printed silk dress is always a festive and fun- you are guaranteed to make an entrance. Skirts are another feminine and sassy option. Snag the "It's my Party Skirt" at Antropologie. You can also try a sleeveless shell topped with a fabulous wrap to balance the fullness on the bottom.

Casual Cocktail. Anything goes, but a dress trouser paired with a dramatic sweater or cardigan is a surefire winner. I love the long, drapey cardigans this season. Use this "rule of three": Match or coordinate two of the colors and the third hue becomes your accent piece. This style trick gives you a long, lean look, even if you are petite. Add a killer pair of heels and your favorite jewelry.

Clutch and Go. Don't let small details drag down your look. Leave your everyday bag at home and opt for a small clutch in a color that coordinate with your outfit. You don't have to break the bank if you want to splurge. Make a wise decision when you are shopping.
