ellen tracy textured tweed suitIt's Monday, so you need a good reason to feel good about trudging to the office. Looking great is a fabulous reason!

Though it's not a dress, per se, a suit certainly fits into the category because there's no need to think about matching a top and bottom (except whatever you wear inside). A suit, which has the potential to be boring and very unimaginative, but the Textured Tweed Suit from Ellen Tracy in hazelnut tweed has all kinds of style. Apart from the fact that tweed is trendier for for this season moreso than it usually is for fall, the suit jacket has a spread collar and sassy turned-back cuffs. The straight, almost-pencil skirt falls to the knee, which is just the right length to wear with boots of any height.

The Textured Tweed Suit is on the last day of the Neiman Marcus First Call Sale; $336 for the jacket, $171 for the skirt.
