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!
