My husband and I were invited to a business
lunch organised by a leading bank the other day. Since my husband is involved in merchant
banking, he attends such affairs on a regular basis and usually on his own but this
time the invite was for both of us and it was important for my man so I was left with no choice but to join him.

Business lunches are quite boring events where people just pretend that they are interested in what you do but in fact
the only thing they do care about is giving away as many business cards as
possible that in turn will generate as much business.
Anyhow, I was
faced with the dilemma of what I clothes should wear. Black and white combo would be expected for such a sombre affair but I wanted to wear something playful, something that would reflect my creative
nature and would convey the message that I am not taking this event too seriously. Luckily
for me, just a few days ago I bought a lovely pencil skirt in a leopard print from
a Witchery store that paired with a black jacket and a white
crisp shirt underneath would be exactly the outfit I was looking for.
The black or a dark navy classic-cut jacket
is one of the staples that every woman should have hanging in her closet. Its timeless shape and colour suggests
endless variations and combinations that will help you cover almost every
possible occasion and always look smart, fashionable and chic.
A white blouse or a button-up shirt is another
staple that should not be underestimated nor overlooked. Not only does it go well with almost anything from a tuxedo to denim dungarees, the white colour complements your face tone making it look young and radiant which is very important at our age.
As for accessories, a string of pearls was
quite an obvious choice. A pair of low
heel nude pumps completed the look.
With a bunch of business cards tucked into my Bulgari hand bag (one of the many generous gifts received from my husband, this was for our wedding anniversary) I was ready to learn more about mergers and acquisitions.
