Secretary chic was one of the designers’ inspirations for Fall/Winter ’09. It graced the catwalk in the form of sophisticated black dresses clinched at the waist, along with chiffon and satin blouses which were paired with silk pencil skirts and tweed structured jackets.

Expensive/pretty clothes, nice make-up & hair-do’s, but underneath they are skin and bones. How very attractive......

“Secretary chic”

I wonder if they take dictation?

[ViLaLuz]

Very nice. I like the look.

[Tanniker Smith]

Yeah, because the economy is roaring hot and furious so that secretaries can afford that stuff.

[radiohead]

secretaries can afford that stuff.

Few people can afford designer clothes. Most wait until the knock-offs appear, at various levels of quality, in stores from Macy's to Walmart.

Glad you like the look - me, too. Took long enough to come back though. Many of us will be able to be back in style simply by recycling the clothes in our closet which lasted as long as they have because they were made of real fibers and in the USA - like cotton and wool.

“Secretary” look?

hardly ... they’re either slutty or slovenly.

Personally I prefer the naughty librarian look, lately.

For those of you who think these girls are too skinny, just send them over to my place. I stack them in the corner like firewood, and use them to keep warm in the winter.

Well, you'd probably have to burn them like firewood, too, because there ain't enough flesh on those bones to keep a man warm for very long. And don't even THINK of getting your face near the pelvic region - those bones could put your eye out.

If they didn’t shrink while hanging in the closet :)

Re: middle pic

One would think they would tailor the pants before a photoshoot!

[Robert A Cook PE]

Er, uhm, no.

[nascarnation]

We don’t have secretaries.
They’re called “admins” now (for administrative assistant).
Of course with voicemail, email, and powerpoint they really don’t have anything to do anymore.

Be grateful that the secretaries aren’t wearing the droopy drawers look of the street.

They did until myspace was blocking internally.
