Style Diary: What I Wore To Work

I get away with wearing fun dresses to work ‘cuz I work in fashion. One such dress is this leopard number which if worn alone looks pretty sexy with its cutout sleeves, but under a more official looking blazer, it quickly becomes more work appropriate.

Cut 25 blazer.  leopard dress by Fiori Di Zucca.  Chanel purse.  Suede fringed boots by  Go Max and necklace by Express. What I love about this blazer are the leather elbow pads.  It adds an interesting masculine touch to the otherwise, slim-fitting, feminine blazer. And ladies, I’m taking bids on this new Chanel purse!  It’s authentic and hardly used.  I simply fell in love with another and need to see if I can sell this…Leave a comment here with your email if you’re interested in it or need more photos and detail!

The best part of my day was that I came home with a free set of Chanel make-up brushes!  They were about to throw out this and another set exactly like it so my co-worker and I quickly offered to save them from the dumpster.  (they’re replacing the sample sets because a newer version and design is coming out).  I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand the thought of throwing away something so precious.  Here are my new take-home items!Click here for more Style Diary posts and here for more inspiration about what to wear to work!

 

Style Diary: What I wore to work

The best part of my day was when I met one of our top customers and she immediately complimented me and my outfit saying that I was so Saks Fifth Avenue (where I work).  Little did she know that I actually wasn’t wearing a single thing from the store that I work at but I wasn’t about to tell her that.

I wore a sheath dress by Calvin Klein (that I bought at Marshall’s), with a cardi from the Loft, a vintage stretch belt, and heels from Zara.  Can you believe that I was all the way in Italy when I just had to stop at the Zara (only to fall in love with these shoes and just HAVE to pay the overpriced exchange rate for them)?


Now let’s talk accessories.  The purse was a gift from my model friend who was in the ad campaign for this brand…which I can’t remember at the moment.  They used to sell at Bergdorf Goodman..anyways, I thought the tribal feel of the handle matched well with my NY street fair find – necklace.  It’s funny how this outfit came together (in a matter of minutes).  I started off with the dress (isn’t everyone excited to wear a new dress?) then I added a cardigan cuz I’m not allowed to show shoulders at work – apparently that would be too risque’.  That looked shapeless so I added the stretch belt and jumped for joy when I remembered this old tribal looking necklace.  Then I looked at myself in the mirror and thought I looked a bit Bam Bam.  I added the Wilma beehive-like bun and voila!  I had a modern-day Flinstones look!
