I’ve talked a bit before about dressing for work in a creative office but I realized I hadn’t really shown you what I was up to, sartorially speaking, during the hours of 9-5 lately. Much like my desire to wear a catholic school girl uniform despite going to public school, I find myself secretly wishing I had a reason to wear crisp pencil skirts and fitted blazers even though my workplace in no way requires it. My trick is to find a way to wear the classics, but give them a playful spin. So I trade the button down and blazer look for a sleeveless (faux) leather shell and sleeveless trench vest. And instead of a tweed pencil skirt – this flouncy hemmed version. Classic pumps always work, but these are made a bit more fun in cobalt blue. Here’s to shaking up the work week.. and really, just surviving it until Friday rolls around again.
