Get the look
Sherry's moving from an ultra-casual workplace to a more professional setting.

The ideal fix? A slim, contemporary pantsuit. Ours is from Nine West (Jacket $159, Pants $89).

We added a turquoise silk sweater tank from August Silk ($40) The sterling and onyx necklace belongs to Cynthia.

Reason we like this look
The updated lines (even the legs had a slight bootleg) and fabric (cotton with a bit of stretch mixed in) are modern. Cotton looks crisp, but unlike other warm-weather fabrics like linen, holds it's shape and resists wrinkles when it has some stretch.

The "pop" of color does wonders for anybody, and we liked that just about any top would work with this pantsuit.
