On Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham's fall collection is forward-thinking with regard to what the sophisticated modern working woman wants to wear. For me she's the new Brit who "gets it". These looks are meant for the woman who needs to look polished but doesn't want to "think" about it, who desires ease when getting dressed in the morning, who wants to feel relaxed and comfortable throughout an often, unpredictable day. The wrap-around belts, loosened silhouette, layering, and tall boots all accomplish this. These looks pass the 9 to 5-check, and makes the 9-10 hour work day (for some of us) sartorially bearable.

While some women are given a bit more leeway with their work wardrobe, others cannot be as visually daring and must adhere to a strict code of dress. Thanks to the spring collections though, we need not sacrifice style. Head to toe monotone color is always a great way to avoid a corporate eyesore, but mixed neutrals are also a safe bet.
