Had a very relaxed weekend spent not doing much at all. But one thing I did do was binge watch Suits. Granted, there are seven seasons of this show, so I'm only on season two, but so far so good. Let's just chalk it up to the Meghan Markle effect. So since I've been watching Suits, I thought I might as well wear a suit -- a power suit -- in today's post. Also, this gives me yet another reason to wear these mules.
Because of the structure of this double breasted coat, you could easily go laid back and pair it with shorts, or consider rocking it with a long skirt and some booties. And power suits have come a long way since the 1980s. Gone are the squared off padded shoulders and the loose fit. These days, power suits tend to have a more feminine look of matching separates and ruched sleeves. And I have no problem wearing these chic Baldwin jeans with my look.
And even though I'm feeling this plaid coat, my favorite part of this revamped power suit look is the addition of the heeled mules. I'm always into comfy shoes, but any time I wear something with a heel (even a kitten heel), I feel slightly more powerful. Do you ever get that feeling? How would you wear a power suit?

cute top! save your time and skip Suits, it goes way down hill quick and becomes a bad soap opera
ReplyDeletehahaha, that's hilarious. I'm still on season 2 so it's still pretty good. But I can imagine that these procedural story lines can get old, fast.
DeleteEstupendo post!!! !!Feliz semana precios@!!!❤💛💙
ReplyDeleteI need all of these cute heels!! Love them!
ReplyDeleteThis is like a whole other level of chic, girlfriend! How fitting that the top/jacket is from Chicwish, right? ;) Love the glen plaid on you!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting blazer... oh and i need to catch up on Suits!
ReplyDeleteSuits was a much better show in the beginning. It has totally jumped the shark in later seasons and we stopped watching. There's going to be a K-drama remake of it and I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing how they spin the story.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how many people would start watching suits after Meghan's engagement was announced, lol. I've watched it since the beginning, it was sort of the last USA original show before they went completely dark with their story telling. But if it serves as inspiration for this fabulous outfit, than keep watching, the clothes only get better!
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
Those J. Crew and ASOS Mules are EVERYTHING! I've been trying to decide on a pair and I think I might have to get both, oops?!
ReplyDeleteThis blazer needs to get in my closet now! So cute babe :)

I love Suits!!! I had no idea there were 7 seasons...I watched when it first came out and probably at least for the first 3-4 seasons, maybe more. What a fun plaid number and I'm really loving those mules you picked out from J.Crew!
