SECRET 5: DRESS IN SUITING MATERIAL
A blouse or a dress made of classic suiting fabric will make you feel strong and feminine—all at once. Wear to the office with a blazer and close-toed flats, switching to heels for dinner. You can also spin a date night dress to the office by pairing it with a long-sleeved shirt underneath. Either way, blouses and tops made of suiting material will make a timeless addition to your wardrobe.
