If you find something that works, then stick with it. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has a long neck and narrow, slightly sloped shoulders, shoulder padded jackets/blazers look great on her. Soft pastel colors compliment her porcelain skin and blonde hair.

Here, by simply changing the jacket and hair style, she managed to look chic on-the-go, which can inspire us to pack strategically for our coming summer trips.

In Chinese: 如果一种搭配方式或者颜色适合你，那就多尝试，让它自然变成你个人风格的一部分。比如超模罗西·汉丁顿-惠特莉(Rosie Huntington-Whiteley)的有令人羡慕的长脖子，略点削肩，很适合有垫肩的夹克或西装外套。她的肤色和发色也非常适合柔和的浅色系。这两个造型她只是简单得变换了外套和发型，却有完全不同的感觉，希望能给我们假日出行怎么用最少的单品打造出尽可能多的造型带来些灵感。

Shopbop: these Rag & Bone bootis are must-buy! Also picked this little black dress with a twist from beloved T by Alexander Wang.
Barneys Warehouse: up to 80% off! Stock up this widely love Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q in different colors!
Forward by Elyse Walker: every piece by Isabel Marant, please! For me, Isabel Marant is the Chanel.
Nordstrom designer clearance: I’m a loyal customer of Nordstrom, the prices, service and the arrangement of choices are unbeatable. My guilty pleasure is visiting the Nordstrom Rack every day.
Moda Operandi: up to 50% off. These three items have been on my list for a long time, now it’s time to take them home: Paula Cad emartori Anna clutch, MSGM sweatshirt & Ek Thongprasert necklace.

Good luck, everyone! Don’t forget to share what you scored with me!

9-To-5 Chic

chic work outfit ideas 2014, Photos: Taylor Swift & Angelina Jolie; Courtesy of AKM-GSI, INFphoto.

Two office-friendly looks for you today: Taylor Swift made a trendy crop top and peg leg pants office-appropriate thanks to her smart choices of color, fabric and elevated accessories. Angelina Jolie took an opposite approach by making traditional work-wardrobe staples (from cigarette pants to black pumps) fashionable and glamorous with hot sunglasses and gold accents.

In Chinese: 今天的这两个造型很适合上班族。小天后泰勒·斯维芙特(Taylor Swift)把流行的短款上衣和老爷裤穿出了正式感，关键在于她所选的颜色，单品的硬挺材质以及有正式感的包包和鞋子。安吉丽娜·朱莉(Angelina Jolie)则刚好相反，用潮感十足的太阳镜和这一季正火的黑金搭配让传统的办公室“制服”多了份时髦和新鲜。 chic work outfit ideas 2014, Featured: 1.
