The silhouette you may be seeing all over your office this fallThe silhouette you may be seeing all over your office this fallIt was in 1964 when Mary Quant introduced the world to the mini-skirt and everything, including (obviously) hemlines, changed. The skirt reached several inches above the knee and was a major power play for women (especially if worn with tall boots and no stockings.) With fashion icons of the time like Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, Ali MacGraw and Goldie Hawn in all her Laugh In glory it was more than a trend, the mini-skirt was now a fashion staple, making its way into so many womens closets over the next 60 plus years. The mini-skirt will always be there, but there is a new skirt as well as general aesthetic you will be seeing in offices this fall.The oversized look will be big this fall and will permeate into the next seasons.

This was an oversized mens suit made for a woman. Not a gown. And then I began to cry. In this suit, I felt like me today. In this suit, I felt the truth of who I am well up in my gut. And then wondering what I wanted to say tonight become very clear to me.
