Style Diary: 1 Dress 2 Ways

April 1, 2011
What I Wore to Work

If you want your clothes to work overtime, you’ve got to figure out ways to wear it now and wear it later. It’s all about styling for various weather conditions and styling for different occasions. Once you get the hang of it, you can get the most out of your wardrobe.

I bought this satin blue dress while on a trip to Shanghai. I fell in love with the pockets and easy style. The material makes it seem fancy but the style is quite casual and you know I loved the mix in contradictions.

In the summer, I wore it with bright pops of color that first started with this funky sequin clutch and ended with an equally rainbow-like chunky necklace. The pink scarf was a freebie from fashion week and the shoes were jewel-encrusted Ann Taylor shoes I bought on sale. The entire outfit was only around $200.

This winter, I wore the same dress with wooly color-speckled tights, suede fringe ankle boots and a fur cropped jacket. I also had on a fitted black cardigan which is not pictured here. See, blue and black CAN go together!

I’ve been so caught up with work and wedding planning that I’ve sort of been ignoring this blog! So much so that I hadn’t even had time to promote my last goody bag giveaway. Because only 1 person entered, I’m extending the deadline to April 14, 2011. Click here to enter to win a NYC goody bag from fashion week!

Fab Decor: Office Space

November 5, 2010
Uncategorized

Working in events marketing and promotions means my workplace is filled with random objects. Besides the lookbooks, catalogs, signs and brochures, various non-traditional office items can be found. Here is an exemplary list of things that make my office a famous stopping ground on the way to the company cooler.

wigs and costumes (for street promotions – I had an entire closet bursting with this stuff at my last workplace which made everyday seem like Halloween and made everyone want to stop and play dress up)
clothes and accessories (for fashion shows which make me crave a “you can look but don’t touch” sign)
CDs (I often double as the event’s DJ and have to choose the music for special events. Finally, my age-old Columbia House membership has come to good use!)
raffle baskets and prizes galore (this could mean anything from a giant Estee Lauder beauty basket sitting on my desk to giant stuffed animals sitting in my extra chairs)
fake mustaches, top hats and other crazy props (for a photo booth, not for me. Really.)
tiaras and princess rings (for a kid’s princess party. Again, I have the silliest time convincing others that these are not for me but for a future work event.)

Naturally, co-workers are tempted to interrupt me at every walk-by. They can’t seem to resist inviting themselves in, trying on a tiara or top hat and giggling their way through each new discovery. I’ll have to post pictures of my office area at some point so you can see what I mean. But ’til then, I thought I’d post some pretty photos of work spaces that have me yearning for a little more organization and inspired storage space.
