Is this post an ode to a Fleetwood Mac song? No. But would it really be that horrible if it was? No! What this actually is, is a post dedicated to a more sophisticated and modern way to wear lace. Feminine lacy details are everywhere these days with the seemingly endless 90’s resurgence, and almost every woman has a lace dress or top in her wardrobe from some point in her life. Don’t be afraid to pull those items back out!
One of my readers recently gave me some very important feedback – that she works in a casual environment and that, while my professional wardrobe posts are somewhat interesting, they don’t apply to her. This was really good to hear because I LOVE talking about how to protect and promote your image in the workplace – I don’t want to stop doing that. But I do want to do it in a way that helps more of my readers than just those who work in the corporate world like me. We’re not all the same, and less and less workplaces are requiring uber-business attire. I hear you – so let’s talk about what to wear to look classy yet casual at work.
Yep. I am promoting a maxi-dress. I can’t even believe it because I’ve been so anti ever since this trend came on the seen years ago (I guess it’s not a trend anymore then?). But I have since come to love the femininity and instant-outfit that long dresses can create for us ladies looking for any and everything simple. All you’ve gotta do is give it that extra little oomph to take it to the next level with the right shoes and accessories. Read on for my tips on pulling it off the RIGHT way this fall. That’s right, it’s not just a summer trend!
Let’s face it, I can spend hours telling you about my 10-step South Korean skincare routine that takes me a total of 20 minutes per day plus all the other 30 cleansers and creams I slather all over my face, neck, décolletage, hands, body, and feet on any other given day to keep it youthful, clear-pored and (somewhat) acne-free. Some of the lengths I’ll go to and money I’ll spend is silly. But I love it, so it’s okay! But what most of you may really want to know is how to keep your skin clean with minimal effort and time spent. I don’t blame you! So let’s discuss because I’ve got several recommendations for you today. And confession – I’ve been so lazy myself lately that I am full-on using these options at least twice per week!
Ladies. Here is the punchline of this post – a blazer is the absolute number one best piece in your wardrobe for polishing every single look in the workplace. You should own several of them whether you work in a casual or a formal work environment. And you should wear them often. Enter and read on for more…
Living in a new city means I am putting myself out there meeting new people a lot these days. When I recently got invited to a creative networking event, I found myself faced with the question of what the heck am I supposed to wear? Who knows who you might meet at these types of events – a new friend, a creative partner with a cool project you’d like to work on, your next boss? You never know, but I do believe it is so important to put your best foot forward when attending a stranger-filled meeting like a networking event. And the best way to do this? Dress well. In fact, dress better (but not too much better) than everyone else.
