Everyday Ensembles: Business Casual

BUSINESS CAUSAL

This Everyday Ensemble comes from the beautiful Jess Eddmeiri. A lovely classmate and sorority sister of mine. On this day, we, and several other students, traveled to Lincoln, Nebraska to listen to testimony in regards to First Amendment right protections for student journalists. 

One of our classmates ended up testifying in proposition of the bill along with several other students, advisers, and activists from across the state. We'll know the results and if it passes the committee in a few weeks! 

So with that, we dressed up in our finest business casual and headed off to advocate for the Nebraska student journalist of the future.     

                     
A bold color is always the way to go when you're pairing black and white and in this case the color red not only adds a pop of color, but also makes a strong and assertive statement without a single word. The bright red sweater from H&M pairs perfectly with black slacks. It's simple yet elegant, young yet classic. 

To carry the red throughout, she tossed on a pair of floral pointed pumps from JustFab which incorporated a combination pattern taking the standard look to another level. 

And finally for added warmth and texture, Jess topped the outfit off with a hounds-tooth peacoat from Express. 

This combination is ideal for any business casual occasion, from interviews to conferences or in this case public hearings.
