your daily makeover destination
by Melissa Kagan
Although wearing a suit every day can be a blessing because it requires little to no thought in the morning, it can also cause you to fall into a style slump. You wear the same shoes and handbag each day, with the same boring button-down under each jacket, and before you know it even your hair starts to look humdrum. And then it starts to permeate into all areas of your life, causing you to dress like a corporate clone even when you aren't in the office. The solution is simple — don't be afraid to pack some punch into your life with figure-flattering silhouettes, colors and accessories. Here, we did a makeover for Amrita who looked nerdy on the outside but had a sexy new self dying to come out.

Amrita's Uptight Look

The second we laid our eyes on Amrita, 28, we knew she was the perfect candidate for a makeover. Her job in finance required her to wear conservative suits, and on many occasions she went to business dinners straight from the office without changing. It got to the point that she owned only androgynous jackets and pants and lackluster accessories. She soon found that she was incapable of putting an outfit together that was even remotely sassy for social events outside of the office. See how we transformed her look from uptight to outta sight.
