Honestly, it’s rare that I wake up and feel like a boss lady ready to tackle the day. It’s not that I lack confidence or think I’m unable to properly do my job most days. I wake up at 4 am for work, so most mornings I feel like ugh mixed with a little bit of ??? until I get coffee and do morning devo. But there are certain items that instantly help me feel like a Boss Lady. THIS shirt is one of those items. Of course it’s appropriately named the Boss. In the above photos, it may look like I’m wearing a regular silk pussy bow blouse, but it’s not just a blouse…it’s a body suit! This is what it looks like in full:
This bodysuit is one of the many staples offered by TUXE Bodywear, a brand that specializes in turning classic shirt styles into fuss-free bodysuits that minimize the amount of fidgeting and adjusting you have to do throughout the day. I actually wore this beauty to work before shooting it, and I’m happy to report that I didn’t have to adjust my shirt all day. Didn’t even think about. As I’ve been trying to emphasize in my STYLE 101 series, fit is essential for feeling good and looking good (and not frumpy) in your clothes. So I am truly thankful to have a shirt that fits so well I do not have to worry about adjusting it throughout the day. Rather than continue rambling about how much this bodysuit, let me break it down in a list.
Here’s What I Love
No fidgeting or adjusting!!!
It’s a bodysuit! I find this concept pretty fascinating, and, honestly, genius.
The quality. This is a top notch shirt. The blouse is made of silk de chine that feels incredible against your skin, and the panty is made of nylon and spandex with a cotton hygiene panel.
It’s versatile. You can wear this beauty with a pencil skirt, wide leg pants, and even jeans for a super cute casual chic outfit.
It’s adjustable. There are three rows of hook and eye clasps on the panty that allows you to adjust the bodysuit to fit your torso length. Don’t worry, the clasps are easy to unhook when you need to, umm, powder your nose.
TUXE is powered by women and designed for women. I’m a sucker for companies filled with female entrepreneurs and boss ladies. According to their website, this is the TUXE mission: “Of course, we’re going to make sure you look good, but our core principle is to guarantee you feel great. I say, “mission accomplished!”
Here’s What I Don’t Love
The price. At $128.00 a pop, it’s a bit steep for my budget. I’m hoping that means it will last many, many years of wear because I plan to wear it on a weekly basis. If you can afford, I’ve got great news for you: You can get 25% off using code DOWNTOWNTUXE.
Curious to learn more about TUXE? I highly recommend checking out the other fabulous products on website or visiting their Instagram (it’s *full* of boss lady inspiration).
Tell me, what do you think of the Boss bodysuit? Would you wear bodysuits to work?

4 AM?! That is early, lady. How do you do it? The TUXE bodysuit definitely helps achieve a more polished look. This outfit looks so polished and professional. The skirt gives it a bit of an edge and the heels just enough sass. You look impeccable as always.
Elizabeth
> Cynthia @ My Rose Colored ShadesHaha, 4 AM is indeed very early, my friend. I’m still adjusting and trying to focus on the positive (e.g., employment, money, etc.). You are too sweet! Thank you for the love, my dear. The bodysuit is very polished and I intend to wear it often. 🙂
Leslie
So pretty as always. Am I the only one that remembers these from the 70’s? 🙂 Though, yes, I’ve seen these before I promise they did not look this beautiful back then.
Lovely outfit! – Leslie / LittleGemsUSA.com
