As this is a style blog, it is inevitable that when seeking "office appropriate" looks inspiration will come from a fashion show. I was perusing Style (very discreetly whilst at work--hurrah for multi-tasking) and I re-discovered the 3.1 Phillip Lim RTW collection. The clothes have a very retro meets modern feel. The shapes and materials largely wouldn't seem out of place in an old Hollywood movie, yet there is definitely a modern update with the mixed styling and funky jewelry. I could see a modern-day, spunky Jean Arthur wearing these looks while she chased Mr. Smith around Washington.
