Brooke is on a roll this week defending Hope, wowza. She means business and can be taken seriously in her dark business outfit, but she loses credibility a bit with those horrible green pants. If they weren’t so ill fitting, they just maybe would work. I liked where they were going with the black on primary color….it just didn’t work. Anyhow, I’ll focus on the upper half. Her underpinning has a nice ruffle which breaks up the harshness of the structured blazer. I like that the ruffle isn’t too overwhelming so it doesn’t completely take over. It’s just enough ruffle that I think it could be worked with many different outfits.  It would look pretty with a pencil skirt and cardigan, or with some jeans and a bunch of bangles and heels.
