If you’ve been following this series on fashionable pieces to pair with your Bob Ore Jacqueline Bag then this set is a stark difference from your casual and business outfits. And that’s a good thing. After hours is all about bringing out the fun and modern woman in you, so the clothes complements this personality. 

The sets in the casual and business casual blogs were all about taking your hair down with fun and sometimes daring clothes. And why wouldn’t you; after working on a project for 6 months to 2 years and faith has kept you, have fun. Express your authenticity through bright and vibrant pieces that’ll remind you to step out of work mode and enjoy art! 

That’s exactly what the Jacqueline Bag brings; it’s like having an exclusive art piece on your shoulder. Today it’s a different theme. Work is the place to exude a different kind of woman. The clothes are eloquent with the exception of 2 bright pieces; you still have room to be daring, and in the right places. The clothes for this selection are a mix of traditional and contemporary; a work attire for the thriving woman.

Workwear that’s ready for all occasions including wet concrete floors

And doing projects for some entrepreneurs, I’ve learned to always keep a pair of boots in your bag! That’s what inspired the unconventional heels below. You never know when you’ll need to dash into concrete, a farm or new agricultural space. This style allows the thriving woman to master her schedule while expressing her authenticity through style and accessories.

What’s more the unconventional shoes are a step into solidifying your authentic self. I love a traditional shoe and Dream Pair delivers exceptional and durable heels! Now before you get lost in their fine collection, here are some limited edition heels as well as elegant heel designs you’d love. Finally clothes are available across BrandAlley, which ships across the UK while Jeulia Jewelry, DreamPair and Bob Ore bags ship across the USA.

I’ve always been a fan of curating my outfits from British brands. Previously I always shopped Misguided because  they get a curvy and thick hips woman! Their clothes melt on you! Don’t shy away from curating your style even if you stay in the US. I believe the best original pieces can be sourced from these credible brands below and I’m confident you’ll love each piece and how they fit and compliment a taste that very much appreciates modernity and art.

And that’s exactly what Bob Ore bags exude. They’re a contemporary expression, which enrich your wardrobe by giving you modernity and play in one bag. It’s been exciting even pairing these clothes with the bag because it really shows Bob Ore is versatile and a worthy addition to your life. Own with 1 click, and add this collection to your CEO inspired workwear.

The CEO Blazer

This is a stunning Blazer that will go perfectly when paired with the sheath dress listed below. It’s ideal for days when you have important meetings, and I suggest you stay away from unconventional heels. Instead couple this outfit with the kitten heels slingback. A good rule of thumb for all formal clothes is always go for a low to medium height heel. Your heels should also be close toe as a form of etiquette. 

The Jeulia Milgrain Design Halo Cushion Cut Sterling Silver Earrings are exceptional for this executive inspired attire because it complements the jacket without being too bright and distracting. That’s true to a majority for the outfits here with the exception  of the two and you’ll know why. Yet for important meetings with a client, wear this attire and pair it with a watch that not too distracting, but ties into your overall eloquent and seamless outfit.

The white suit

The must have in your closet includes a navy suit, white suit and black suit. These should be the standard because they’re the most preferred interview outfit for all women. That’s why I’ve also included stunning white shirts women should have in their wardrobe. And this white suit from BrandAlley is a crisp look for an everyday look. It’s also slightly minimalist, but not dim! That’s because Jeulia Jewellery delivers pristine accessories that are elegantly dainty, yet still captivating.

Their diamonds are ethically sourced making them perfect for everyday wear. And don’t worry about wearing out; Jeulia never loses its sparkle, so enjoy their earrings and diamond bracelets as your everyday accessories. I sneakily added a slightly unconventional bracelet should you dare to risk, but explore Jeulia Jewelry now crisp diamond and gold designs made for a thriving attire.

Navy suit

The black Jewellery is sensationally daring! I couldn’t help but go for an unusual colour for your work attire because how boring would it be to fit in a box of the same colours! Absolutely not, and that’s why the black colours here exemplify luxury, radiance and a touch of elegance. It’s the everyday wear for days you’re feeling bold. One suggestion is to wear this daring black ensemble on a day when you’re feeling confident and audacious about your goals.

And you’ll appreciate how the diamond bracelet and earrings bring the outfit together, but without being distracting.  It’s a classic and timeless accessory that couples perfectly with the black watch and earrings. This outfit is ideal for a first day interview. When you have a 2 stage interview, always wear blue on the first day and white on the second. Or bring this outfit out on high project days.

Beige Suite

This next attire elevates above a pristine and fresh look by adding shades of green. The hints of green and gold in this attire enriches the overall look by giving it a luxurious touch. This is a classic and beautiful addition to this seamlessly formal suit. What’s great about accessories is they have the power to change how masculine or feminine your clothes look. And this earrings and ring set bring out a modern elegance to your workwear.

Not only this but the green and gold accents bring out glamour in the overall suit. Although this is an engagement ring, it’s uniqueness makes it perfect for formal business attire. To keep the attention at the top, pair this formal business outfit with the Horsebit Detail Pointed Toe Kitten Heel Pumps, Lug Sole Slip-On Chunky Loafers, or the Horse Bit Detail Chunky Loafers. They’re  aligned to the overall appeal, and do not take away from the glamorous accessories.

Traditional Green Suite

The first three outfits are perfect for important meetings, catching up with clients or audacious days. Yet  this next formal wear is suitable for when you don’t need to leave your office, yet still want to enter the room with a silently eye-catching suit.

For the client who doesn’t like formalities

Formal sheath dresses will always give a touch of executive because there a timeless design. They’re also feminine, making them suitable for business meetings, staff meeting days and when you’re meeting a big client. However, we all have that one client who’s fussy about being too formal, so the blazer is an exchange for when you want to look like you’re casual without being casual!

Talk about saving face while getting the job done, but you can still maintain formal attire through the dress and accessories and heels. It’s best to keep traditional heels for this look because the Blazer was a slight cheat, but you don’t want to risk the look. Sheath dresses also compliment all body types, so it’s worth having in your closet. To seal the look, pair with Comfy Low Heel Pumps, Comfortable Dressy Bow Pumps or Horsebit Detail Pointed Toe Kitten Heel Pumps.

The oversized Suit

The oversized suit is a step away from formalities, and more suitable for days when you won’t have important clients or weekly/important meetings. Switch it up in this oversized jacket paired with a  white bodysuit and these stunning Emerald earrings. This oversized suit is great for cold days when you want to layer your clothes. To avoid looking cluttered, couple this look with traditional closed toe heels.

Stunningly Black

Sometimes you just need an all black outfit to captivate the room, and this next set will do it. That’s because the jewelry set is also unconventional by going for an icy silver. That’s a contrast contrast your traditional gold hues you’d normally wear for every day accessories. It’s a sleek and defiant set that’s worth adding to your closet.

Add depth and authenticity with unique and fresh takes to workwear when you shop BrandAlley,  Dream Pair and Jeulia Jewelry to your closet. The black jewly was also purposeful becaue this blazer is the glitz and glam of your outfit, so wear accessories that’ll complement is beauty. Finally couple this with traditional heels, so the focus stays on this luxuriously black set.

The blazer for staff happy hour

TGIF type of outfit that’s perfect for a day when you’ll go from staff meetings to staff happy hours! During my sales days in New York, we’d often go out with the executives on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so it always helped to have a bag like the Xbag in hand to exchange you blazer for a bright top like the one below. 

Similarly every Wednesdays and Fridays executives gather at the country club in the sugar belt region. Wednesdays tend to be more formal, so wear the CEO Blazer for such an affair. However, Fridays are more relaxed even though you’ll find opportunity to networking. Do something daring and wear the pink or red Blazer for a more casual evening where executives meet with family members and it’s centered family activities and of course a good wine tasting. 

Stepping into your executive era

Here’s to stepping  into your executive era; even when you’re just starting out, this suit is a must have. It’s a timeless Blazer that will never go out of fashion, and BrandAlley houses only the highest quality blazers and premium brands. What you’ll enjoy about such pieces is even after 5 years, they’re as fabulous as the first day you bought them. 

Likewise Jeulia Jewelry’s scratch-resistant diamonds are exquisite to the point they feel like you can only wear them on special occasions. Yet that’s not the case; wear them every day and put together a seamless and sophisticated attire with this set. Due to the esteemed Blazer, this workwear is ideal for important meetings or client meetings. And always pair this look with traditional heels for that CEO look.

Friday Nights at the Country Club Lounge

Previously I suggested wearing the pink suit to the staff at a pub or executive clubs. Check for formalities in case this red is more  suitable. Otherwise go for any of the brown suits like the Grey Elizabeth Check Blazer. Otherwise this bold red Blazer is perfect for staff outings to that 5 star restaurant. Pair it with any of the traditional heels for a sophisticated and glamorous look.

Remember executive gatherings like the bi-weekly golf days are still a chance to shine and stand out. That’s why I’ve suggested the formal set of this series as opposed to a business casual attire. I remember meeting the Prime Minister’s wife at one of the golf meetings. Now imagine wearing open toe heels! The audacity, so always wear the most formal at your first meet up. When you see that it’s a laid back staff evening, come back in this breathtaking red Blazer.

Unconventional Heel

These heels needed to be included on this list. May I never forget the day I went to present a business financial package to formidable farmers in the sugar  industry and the audacity! Traditional heels must go out the window and step into boots. Wearing boots was more about knowing your audience and farmers have learned the art of patience, so be prepared for countless back and forth!

Best part is Dream Pair handcrafted some of the most comfortable heels designed for standing for long hours to softening your soles. Just take a look at their traditional work heels. Nonetheless these other unconventional heels is more to add depth and personality to your workwear. You’re entering so many rooms, so bring modernity and art using these heels and Bob Ore bags.
