Style Diary: What To Work to Work

What I Wore to Work

At the beginning of each fashion season, it starts to feel overwhelming at work. The meetings are endless, the event planning intense, and the press pitches constant. During the first few months of the season, I live, breathe and dream work. And I obsess about it just to stay on top of all the details. February and March for instance, are filled with 10 and sometimes 12 hour days. To keep me motivated and looking forward to another work day, sometimes I use fashion as a fun way to brighten my load.

The most memorable part of this outfit was the exciting moment when I discovered that my dollar store, colored tights perfectly matched this skirt that I had nearly forgotten about. The skirt was purchased at a NJ Korean boutique and I couldn’t wait to dust it off and wear it to work. The tights just gave it new life and energy.

I wore it with an H&M puff-sleeve blazer and tie-front blouse that I bought from Lord & Taylor during their post-Christmas sale. The hat is vintage. I think the last time I wore it was in the ’80s.

The shoes are patent leather Nine West and the tote bag is Juicy. I love that it has side pockets to conveniently carry my cell phone and blackberry.

How is work going for you these days? And does fashion ever give you that needed something to look forward to? For more on what to wear to work, click here. To see a quick view of my other style diary entires, view and follow me on Pinterest!

Style Diary: What to Wear to Work

What I Wore to Work

A lot of fashionistas blog about their style but not a lot blog about what to wear to work. How does one transform the conservative suit into something special and fashionable? Working in corporate fashion challenges me to test my styling skills in this manner 5-6days a week. And because of it, I feel I’ve honed my styling skills when it comes to what to wear to work. Here are a couple outfit examples from the past week.

Here, I’m wearing a tank from Ann Taylor and suit from Anne Klein. Both those basics could have been pretty simple and plain on their own but I added the fur stole for a little glam, kept my hair long and wavy (which helped keep the look less austere) and carried a designer tote. Sometimes the accessories make your outfit. It was sort of inspired from another Ann Taylor catalog look that I fell in love with. See it here.

Isn’t the look gorgeous? You can shop for it here. Ever thought about wearing a belted fur vest over a suit? Well this picture may just have you doing exactly that.

Yesterday, I wore another Ann Taylor top (hey what can I say, they had an amazing sale this weekend), with my Victoria Secret slacks and modern blazer from Brooklyn Industries. I’ve never worn this pair of pants with this blazer but I find it really works as an alternative to the traditional suit. Sorry the lighting sucks in my bedroom!

I’m loving this metallic blouse because it’s perfect as a layering piece in the trendy lace, has a cool exposed zipper and also works worn alone since it has sleeves. Since the lace was girly, I paired it with tougher accessories including a chain bracelet (which is actually a chain taken off one of my totes), a black bling bracelet and matching earrings. Voila! cook work wear.
