Twitter darlings Rachel Roy and Clinton Kelly, Donald Trump and Martha Stewart, are among the top stylemakers assisting with the promotional challenges.

Here is a sample of a look I put together this morning based on the challenge “You’re having dinner with your husband’s boss tonight.  What are you going to wear?”

I’m curious whether my husband is supposed to know about the dinner, but let’s not get hung up on the details.

OUTFIT

Spring is around the corner but we’ve got a chill in the air.  I started with this beautiful brown Anne Klein Belted Linen Jacket ($129).  I wanted a bit of structure because it is a business related event, but also thinking about my guy’s actual boss, and after hours events, there is some casual room to play.

Next I selected the neutral Tommy Hilfiger Whitney Pants ($59.50). This gave me the freedom to move two different directions:

1) Early evening dinner would allow for the Michael Kors One-Shoulder Sweater ($89.50).  With jacket it is still conservative enough to pull off, but the gorgeously muted yellow and soft 80’s shape will still keep one feeling feminine.

2) If festivities are to move into later evening then I am all for the Michael Kors Sequined Tank.  The pattern is visually interesting, the color keeps a monochromatic feel, and the sequins add a little spark under the jacket.

ACCESSORIES

I toyed with the gorgeous Rachel Roy Python Woven Clutch, but it was too much metallic with the tank.  The Steve Madden Ruffled Crossbody Bag (which I would not wear crossbody, btw) added interesting texture while being a matte metallic.

For the same reason, I took a pass on some of the brighter metals in jewelry and instead zoned in on these fabulous yellow block bracelets.  A pop of color that compliments either top selection.

Obviously your outfit will vary depending on the “dinner” you have envisioned.

Vote AND try your had at your own outfit.  Every day through April 6th.
