Last Thursday I had several important meetings during the day, and I was hosting a huge event in the evening.  I wanted a look that was polished and professional, but still had that extra Kendra* flair.  I love how this outfit is very menswear-inspired with the tailored dress and banker-striped shirt.  Since the top portion was so buttoned-up, I felt that I could get away with a pair of sexy red heels and matching clutch.

*I’m referring to myself in the 3rd person, just in case you thought I was talking about one of those other Kendra’s.

    You looked great.  The cherry red shoes are just a great punch to the outfit.

      I know! Most of my shoes are more rounded these days, but I’ve held on to these shoes for years. They make me feel so… SHARP!

    I really like this looked. You pulled off the ‘professional yet stylish’ look pretty darn well. Your coat, though, is amazing!

    So chic!

    Super cute & chic look! Sometimes I struggle when I need to dress professionally and I still want to have a little style.

    Another challenge is the standard dress code where I live & work is business casual at best. Even employees at the courthouse and the banks are dressed business casual.

    I simply love this look- you look fantastic and you’ve pulled off professionalism & style.
