One of the things I wish I had learned earlier in my career (okay, I'm only three years in, but I wish I had started on day one) is to take advantage of networking and professional development opportunities through local professional societies and associations. It's not only a great place to learn and be inspired, but often times the fashion at these networking events is to die for!
I wore this outfit to an IABC Ottawa Professional Development event last week. I needed an outfit that would be versatile, something that would get me through the work day, be appropriate for the event, but something cute and casual because immediately after the session I was heading out to watch the Sens game.

And, as it turned out, something that would be rain appropriate.
This is what I settled on. It was warm enough for the dreary April day, casual enough that I didn't feel too out of place watching the hockey game, but professional enough that I felt like i fit in amongst my peers. All-in-all the perfect look for a yuppie like me.

Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
Great outfit! Professional development seminars/events are definitely something I don't take advantage of.... I probably should get myself out there a little more.
ReplyDeleteVery cute- I love me some ruffles and a great fitted black skirt! I should get more involved in the professional networking industry but to be honest I find networking slightly awkward- it's definitely a skill which needs to be honed!
ReplyDeleteI find networking incredibly awkward. My hope is that the more I go, the less awkward it will be!
Deletei love the blouse. you look professional and very fashionable at the same time!
