Style Diary: What to Wear To Work
quote from my mom: “So it sounds like you work in fashion place like “Prada Devil.” Yes, mom my place is uber-fashionable and the pressure to look good is as intense as it is in that movie, Devil Wears Prada (hint hint, you got the movie title wrong). To read more about my latest dress to impress pressure click here.
Because of this pressure, I’ve been in the process of a major fashion edit. I’m ruthlessly snatching clothes off hangers, leaving only what I love behind. And I’m putting new pressure on myself to upgrade my wardrobe. Out go the cute, cheap finds that could in anyway be identified as such in hopes of clearing the way for more grown-up upscale pieces.
In the meantime, I’m happy to style my mix ‘n match wardrobe of designer brands, vintage finds and secret deals. Below is my latest roundup of work clothes. (I’m an event planning marketer for a major retailer) What’s your favorite?
I love mixing opposites. Here I’m mixing frilly feminine (the tulle lined butter yellow Forever 21 dress) with a tougher quilted leather jacket with chain detail (Forever 21 Balmain knockoff) with studded heels from BCBG and a Chanel chain purse.
Speaking of opposites, after having such a full skirt, I longed for a slimmer silhouette the next day. Here I am wearing a satin skirt, Forever 21 leopard bow tank and H&M cardigan. Shoes and accessories are designer (Christian Louboutin and Chanel). If I’m wearing my secret steals i.e. no-name brands, then I make sure to balance them off with some designer duds.
I love when menswear gets a feminine twist. In the above photo, I’m wearing a menswear inspired suit by BCBG, a satin lace cami from Nicole Miller (gift), lucite and silver necklace, Chanel purse, and satin heels from Ann Taylor Loft. Devil Wears Prada, here I come!
Good day! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
I’m on WordPress too my dear.
