I wore this very corporate outfit for a very specific reason.  I had to have my photo taken for some of our marketing material and whatnot, so looking the part of a financial professional was key.  As you see, I do always dress up somewhat for work, but I don’t always wear a matching suit unless I have a big meeting or event.  Getting dressed in the morning would be extremely easy if I wore matching suit pieces all the time, but I’d get pretty bored if the only thing that ever changed in my outfits was my shirt!  Wearing a dark suit was recommended, so I wore my black one since I had just worn my charcoal suit the day before.  It’s far too easy for me to look washed out in photos since I have the fair skin/dark hair combo, so I wanted to add a little color and dimension to my outfit and this dark pink silk shirt fit the bill.  I chose to wear a collared shirt to keep color near my face and threw on a favorite necklace to add interest.  I’m interested to see how my picture turns out…
