The Suit, Reinvented with Colors & Shorts

I've always had a fascination with women's suits.  When done right, they give off such a cool "I'm totally put together, but still completely effortless" vibe.  (Not achievable with the ill-fitting navy/black suits that everyone buys for interviews in college.)  I especially love light colored suits or suits in alternative fabrics like linen or chambray; extra points for shorts. Ever since seeing this photo (below) by The Sartorialist this February, I've had my eye out for the perfect bright colored suit.

Another recent inspiration image was this chambray number, pinned from Glamour.com

Amazing photographer Garance Dore captured her friend in this white suit, accesorized perfectly with a denim shirt and converse.  See what I mean by effortless?

This one gets double points for shorts+pattern.

A friend wore this one (currently on sale at Asos)  recently and I was extremely jealous. (I prefered the look with her simple white tank to the orange top they styled it with.)

Olivia Palermo's look is more classic, but with a modern fit

I haven't found the perfect (and affordable) version for myself, but I wore a makeshirt version of one to work this week...
