Tica Pica says, “ Spring cannot come fast enough for me to wear this beautiful orange suit Rochelle Wiseman has on.”
” Except…I don’t know who it’s by! Please help me out! (plus, any tips on how I could make it more office appropriate?) Thanks!!”
Rochelle Wiseman looked summery and cute in a short suit from Lipsy UK.
Her £45 (approximately $71) cropped blazer has a tailored look and bold color to boot:
Her £32 (approximately $50) shorts have a fun scalloped edge and cute button details on the pockets:
Love it? Get her jacket here and her shorts here.
As far as making this work appropriate…I don’t think you can. The shorts are way too short for any office environment, though perhaps you can swing it if you wear flats. What do you guys think?

Don’t wear it in an office….ever
February 21, 2012 9:23 am
Ohhh I am 110% feeling this suit that Rochelle Wiseman is rocking!! Love the coral colour and the scallop detailed shorts.. It would soo look nice in a pastel yellow, blue and lilac..

I thought I was the only one who caught the office thing lolo…maybe she works in a fashion environment and is going to wear with tights? Im guessing -___-

unless your office has a pole, please do not
February 21, 2012 9:56 am
What a cute outfit…not too much ..not to little ..a pop of color and she looks comfortable

Even in fashion, I don’t think this is a good outfit for work. Would you really feel comfortable walking in Conde Nast with shorts that short?
February 21, 2012 10:21 am
Very cute outfit but not work appropriate.
February 21, 2012 10:21 am
I love it…but not for work :)
February 21, 2012 10:23 am
Swap the shorts for a pencil skirt, with a not so revealing tank and hit pumps for the office. Those shorts should not be worn in the office EVER! Not appropriate.
February 21, 2012 10:24 am
I meant HOT* not hit
February 21, 2012 10:31 am
This is nice to wear to a summer event…in the hamptons!
February 21, 2012 10:52 am
Love the suit. Is it ever appropriate to wear shorts to the office? I’ve got a few suits with shorts that I’d love to rock in the warmer months. But I always end up feeling too uncomfy to follow through.

I am feeling this so much, so classy and the color would be wonderful on any skin tone.
February 21, 2012 12:12 pm
Luv this look!
February 21, 2012 12:15 pm
Very, very cute!! However, this is NOT, Absolutely NOT work appropriate!!
February 21, 2012 12:21 pm
This is a great outfit. I love it. You can’t do the shorts in the office, but you can keep the blazer and add a nice embellished tank and some nude dress trousers and you have yourself a look for office !
February 21, 2012 12:24 pm
Shorts are a NO- NO at work! A intern came in here with them on one day and she was sent home. I’ll just say that I work for Hilary’s Department. I think the outfit is lovely though, but it’s def for outside of work. It is really cute though, and I’d love to see it other colors!
February 21, 2012 12:25 pm
in love!!
going to order it tomorrow!! thanks fashionbomb!! ;)
February 21, 2012 12:27 pm
Wearing this to the office would create one of those, “She KNOWS she’s dead azz wrong for that” moments.
February 21, 2012 12:39 pm
Oh….I love it! I know the shoes are old but I love those too.
February 21, 2012 12:53 pm
This look is cute but NOT appropriate for the office. Even if you work in the fashion industry. I will never attend a work meeting wearing shorts. What would that say about my character? On the other hand, on the streets, do you.
February 21, 2012 2:07 pm
Loves everything about this look. Too bad I can’t do shorts, I’d order this in a heart beat.
February 21, 2012 2:56 pm
How totally cute and spring appropriate. I would love to wear something like that.
February 21, 2012 3:09 pm
Refreshed look. I heart
February 21, 2012 3:23 pm
cute brunch outfit. You can not wear short to work. No matter how flat your shoe or “long” the shorts
February 21, 2012 4:17 pm
Nice outfit and I love the handbag too.
February 21, 2012 4:50 pm
This cannot be made work appropriate! But it’s pretty though.
February 21, 2012 4:58 pm
Seems a bit short…
February 21, 2012 4:59 pm
I work for a VERY corporate FTSE100 company and one of the lawyers wore shorts about this short. She was the talk of the office that morning and her much older and rather embarrased boss had to tell her they were not appropriate for work. Don’t let that be you!
February 21, 2012 6:38 pm
thanks so so much Claire and to everybody too for establishing the no-shorts-in-the-office edict! i work in the Eurocapital (sigh) in a formal setting. People seriously wear short suits to work round here, even in a corporate environment and not only in summer (often with black tights) – provided the shorts are no shorter than what would be appropriate for a skirt/dress; it’s known as “le costume bermuda” I’ve also seen them a lot in Holland, but I guess there it may be because of the prevalence of the bicycle, even in the financial centres. different strokes for different folks i guess!
February 21, 2012 11:24 pm
Dang ticapica that sounds great! I need to relocate..
February 21, 2012 11:28 pm
WHO IS ROCHELLE WISEMAN? Guess i better google her. I do love this look. I am not fond of the shorts and heal look, not everyone can pull it off. Frequently the short is too SHORT, or to casual for the look. I truly am impress. Looks quite classy. Glad you were honest about this look not being appropriate for the office. that would be a no no
February 21, 2012 11:31 pm
Beautiful
February 22, 2012 3:35 am
Love the look but not for work
February 22, 2012 12:14 pm
Love it! From the color to the cut!
February 22, 2012 12:30 pm
Loving this look & even thinking about getting it. I guess I’m the only one that would & could wear this to work on a nice July day & not worry about backlash. Then again… I never worry about backlash. lol [Don't like it? Don't look.] My work environment is soooo laid back. Gta love being a Graphic Designer! =D
February 22, 2012 7:47 pm
Of course u can wear this to the office. Just depends on the trade.
February 23, 2012 1:02 am
So cute!
February 23, 2012 10:34 am
Some of these outfit requests are a bit silly, common sense would tell you to replace the shorts with a knee length skirt or a pair of trousers…come on people let’s not waste Claire’s time.
February 23, 2012 11:46 am
she looks great, but you could never get away with that in corporate America.
