Style Diary: What To Work 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.
