Why Suits Should Be In Your Wardrobe

March 16, 2021 • 9 Comments

Still-Point-Gallery-Lurdes-Bergada-2
This gorgeous suit is by Lurdes Bergada and was purchased at Still Point Gallery

The first suit I ever owned was back in the early 80s (yes, I know I’m dating myself.) I bought a beautiful suit for my first job interview out of grad school. My mom loves to tell the story of how I was getting dressed for the interview and that’s when I noticed the security tag was still on the suit. As if I wasn’t nervous enough! I actually have no idea what I did-my memory doesn’t go back that far! ?

Chanel-Zara
I bought this suit from Zara right before we started staying home and I can’t wait to wear it out!

Suits have changed a lot since my interview all those years ago. I don’t think many people wear them for interviews anymore, and honestly, they’re so much more fun these days and can be worn just because! Today I’m sharing some of my favorite suits from my closet!

Chelsea-28
Color is not usually in my wardrobe, but this suit by Chelsea 28 from Nordstrom is just too cute not to wear!

Today’s suits can be worn in so many different ways. Wear them with heels, boots, sneakers-whatever makes you happy and comfortable. Plus being able to wear the jacket and pants separately is also a bonus. I love bringing suits when I travel because I can create so many different outfits with just a few pieces. Now I just need to be able to travel again!!

Momoni
This suit by Momoni is so different and so special to me. I bought it while on a trip to Florence, Italy with my family and I feel gorgeous when I wear it.

Note: I want to apologize and explain about these photos. So I usually try to have the photos taken in the current season. Obviously these were taken in the fall. I really wanted to post about suits, but other topics kept arising and as a result this post was pushed back. The good part is that suits can be styled to wear year round. So I hope you find something you like and happy suit shopping!

    Wow these are fabulous. I love them all and you look so gorgeous in every single suit. I would find it difficult to choose a favourite. But the Momoni is very special.
