This black, fitted jacket is from Who What Wear at Target. It has a single snap closure in the front, but otherwise is minimalist and sleek. It would have retailed for about $30, but I found it at a local Goodwill for $5.50.<\/p>\n<p>I paired it up with a graphic print sheath dress from BCBG MaxAzria. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DSC_5959_preview.jpeg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3557\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3557\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DSC_5959_preview-732x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"DSC_5959_preview\" width=\"732\" height=\"1024\" data-size=\"1143x1600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DSC_5959_preview-732x1024.jpeg 732w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DSC_5959_preview-214x300.jpeg 214w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DSC_5959_preview-768x1075.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DSC_5959_preview-840x1176.jpeg 840w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DSC_5959_preview.jpeg 1143w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px\" \/> <\/a>That brand is one of the ones I love to find at Goodwill Keystone Area stores because they continually create edgy, modern pieces. This black, white and lime knit dress would have originally sold for about $138.<\/p>\n<p>For accessories I added a gunmetal, gold and lime statement necklace ($3.97). The green in the necklace as well as the shapes of the gems coordinated well with the design of the dress. A sharp vintage black patent handbag with snap closure ($4.97) makes a nice change of pace for this business look than a tote bag or fussy purse. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DSC_5949_preview.jpeg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3555\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3555\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DSC_5949_preview-1024x732.jpeg\" alt=\"DSC_5949_preview\" width=\"840\" height=\"600\" data-size=\"1600x1143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DSC_5949_preview-1024x732.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DSC_5949_preview-300x214.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DSC_5949_preview-768x549.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DSC_5949_preview-840x600.jpeg 840w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DSC_5949_preview.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/> <\/a>Classic Michael Kors black patent pumps round out this ensemble.

Jeanette added her own tights.<\/p>\n<p>This dramatic look would be perfect for a business meeting or luncheon. To change it up, she could change the jacket for a cardigan and add tall boots. Or the jacket would look great over a simple t-shirt and jeans. Keep an eye out for interesting sleeve details this year.
