A Sleek White Suit

This set recently received an honorary mention from the White Looks contest on Polyvore. The judge said "This fabulous set features a stunning white look with a little retro charm, which comes from the incorporation of a beautifully designed floral top. Furthermore, this set contains a lot of wonderful brands like: Alexander McQueen, Michael Kors, Balenciaga, Viktor&Rolf, and Chanel. Its definitely a must see. Check it out and comment/like to support this member's work if you like this just as much as I do."

Well, I feel very honored to received such a nice review and want to share it with you.

The Brown Family

Another office-friendly outfit with brown tone-on-tone.

Why it works:
- The outfit consists of neutral brown pieces.
- The draped skirt's volume is offset with the fitted top. The deep V-neck and the buttons lead the eyes to the focal point of the skirt at the middle of the waist.
- The chunky locket necklace keeps the eyes from staying only at the middle section of your body.
- The inner cami keeps the outfit office friendly.
- The shoes with tall ankle cuffs work well with the skirt which is relatively short.
- The jacket's relaxed fit plays off the skirt's silhouette.
- To add a little surprise, the simple structured bag provides contrast to the relaxed fit pieces.

45. Milan

Number 45 in the 60 City Challenge is Milan. The street style here seems to be on a trendier and sexier side.

Why this outfit works:
- The jacket, halter top, and skirt feature diagonal lines.
- The yellow color in the skirt and accessories pop over the neutral colors of the jacket, top, shoes and bag.
- The fitted short jacket echoes the silhouette of the top and does not hide the silhouette and the details of the skirt.
