Get Down To Business: 9 to 5 Suit Alternatives for Winter 2012

Baby it's cold outside but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your stylish appearance for warmth. Look good, work good--that's our mentality. When the temperature drops below 30, modern business chic can be a tricky style to nail. After all, you don't want to be too buttoned up or, heaven forbid, risk looking frumpy. While totally street appropriate, nothing about swimming in an oversized sweater says "I mean business". Instead take the layered approach--drape a cozy sweater over a fitted dress or tailored shirt and pair with a skirt or slacks, or get down to business with a fitted blazer. And if you're constantly going to and from the office, throw a stylish scarf into the mix to maximize warmth and keep that head held high towards profitable horizons. Whatever your preference, there's no excuse to be a fair weathered fashionista. Here at the Cotton Mill we have plenty of warm, promotion ready attire. No matter the sleet and snow, you can be sure to let them know who's boss in these 9 to 5 suit alternatives!

You can’t spell elegance or delicate without lace. From runway to realistic everyday wear, this season you will be delighted to see this trend taking over and re-inventing itself from the 80’s Madonna wrist glove and bridesmaid dresses we all have had nightmares of, to sophistication and practical looks for the modern woman.

Also hot on trend alert this season is leather. The timeless material is making a huge impact on this season's fashions from structured leather peplum tops, to leather skirts and leggings, to the elegant hint of trim on stunning coats and sweaters. A must have closet staple for the Fall/Winter season, splurging on a hot leather piece will totally be worth your while.  

So there we have it--leather and lace--and NO we are not talking about the Stevie Nicks and Don Henley hit. With lace's soft feminine elegance and leather's sophisticated edgy twist, these two make the perfect couple! Mix and match and have heads turning not once but twice!
