Work to Weekend | The Power Suit Deconstructed

Thank you so much for all the birthday love this week! I honestly don’t know how I lucked in to this, but am beyond grateful for this community and your friendship! I hope you feel as loved and supported here as I do.

I’m thrilled you loved my Sugarplum Favorite Things, too! I love that after all these years together, we share so many faves. And don’t forget, five email subscribers will win any item of their choice from my list! Check the post out here, and subscribe here. I’ll choose winners tomorrow.

Today I’ve got some fun work wear for you… a stylish suit for all my boss babes. But of course I had to style it two ways, so I’m deconstructing the power suit for both Work and Weekend. And thanks to Marks & Spencer’s Pre-Black Friday Sale, it’s all 20% off!

Double Breasted Blazer | High-Waist Crop Trouser | Cashmilion Crewneck Sweater | Similar Nude Heels | Crystal Drop Earrings

This classic wool suit is a gorgeous mix of camel and plum, with a slimming high-waist and cropped leg. Both pieces are fully-lined and impeccably made. Wear them together, or as separates, paired with heels and subtle accessories for a perfect office-ready look.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing US4 in the jacket, but needed my usual US2, so it’s true to size. I sized up in the pants, and am wearing a US4-short.

I shared this crewneck sweater in my Jumper Jackpot post, and it’s been getting a lot of wear lately. This wardrobe essential is lightweight, and made of a soft cashmilion yarn that’s as soft as cashmere! It comes in 12 colors and is under $30.

And who says plaid trousers are just for the office? I added a fun sweater and sneakers, and they’re perfect for weekend, too. I love this playful combo with so much personality, while still super comfortable and chic.

I really can’t say enough good things about Marks & Spencer’s sweaters! They have such great styles and options, and every one I’ve tried has been superior quality. And the prices really can’t be beat! (See my latest sweater picks from Marks & Spencer, all under $60, here and here.)

I’ve shared these sneakers before, too… so on-trend and comfortable, and a great price with 20% off! They’re stylish enough for life beyond jeans and leggings, making them super versatile, too. And bonus… they’re actually super comfortable!

Fit Tip: Half sizes go down.

And if you think Marks & Spencer knows sweaters and pants, you must check out their Christmas Shop! I found some of my favorite gifts and stocking stuffers there last year, and I’ll be shopping their huge selection at 20% off and stocking up early! Seriously, their card games are the best! Here are a few fun things I’ve got my eye on…

one. Decorative Plate Set // two. Plaid Flannel Throw
three. Knit Your Own Beanie Kit // four. Bathroom Joke Book
five. Family Card Game // six. Monogram Mug
seven. London Dish Towel // eight. Traveler Kit
nine. Pom Pom Tree Topper // ten. Leopard Ornament

This is my favorite season for shopping Marks & Spencer! Plus, their Home selection is incredible with everything from bed, bath and kitchen to decor. They also offer fast and free delivery over $50 (my order usually arrives within 2-3 days).

And thanks to their Pre-Black Friday Sale, everything is 20% off today (no code needed)! Which look is more your style? Would you wear stylish sneakers with trousers? Which was your favorite gift idea?
