It's totally boss

MANILA, Philippines - Who says the career girl look has to be recession-drab? Recession-proof it with the long-lasting trends of 2009. This year has seen more dash than flash. Think of the longevity of the ruffled shirt, the knitted vest, the trench, the Annie Hall look and the anorak for all-year-round use.

Build a wardrobe with key and interesting pieces without looking like a trend monkey. Use more mature tones like a sober aubergine or stark neutrals like black, white and gray that possess modern touches.

Whether it’s for a night out or a cocktail party, Bossini has the perfect range for those coffee-to-cocktails moments. As any fashion veteran will tell you when it comes to transforming the outfits, have the basics with a twist and always pack a pair of hot earrings in your purse.
