For my eight years of working as a teacher, that was before I turned my back from teaching to become a full-time fashion blogger, I had saved several pieces of formal and professional-looking pieces that REALLY impress. I rely on them whenever I had to bag a job, when I apply for a part-time second job, when I attend conferences as a representative of our international school, when I bring my debate team to a national intervarsity tournament, or when I sit as an adjudicator for a debate competition.
I had proven for how many times that tailored and sleek jackets quickly inject professionalism to a look, and while I have several good-looking slacks, dresses and skirts for work are equally, if not more, powerful.
If you´re looking for dresses and jackets to wear to work, below are my bets.
Tailored Dresses
These tailored dresses aren´t stand-alone if worn to work, they´d look great if teamed with a jacket. Go for a light-colored jacket to contrast its dark shade. They´re perfect to wear to business meeting or to that big presentation day.
What I love about these dresses is that they´ll dress you whole day at work and even after 5 o´clock. Just remove you´re jacket and you´re all about embracing your curves and sex appeal.

Tailored Jackets
When it comes to work clothes, jackets are a fashion staple. They´re your to-go to outerwears that wraps together a professional-looking outfit. Your jackets should be versatile, they need to blend with as many outfits for work as possible.
What I love about these tailored jackets is that they fit right and they´re made of a combination of soft jersey fabric in a structured silhouette which make them very polished.
