How to be Office Chic

“Fashion Fades, Style is Eternal.”

        -Yves Saint Laurent

 

One thing I have learned about office jobs is that it’s easy to “let yourself go”… You sit there at your desk, you get bored, and what do you do… You eat. You wake up late and just throw on clothes. You don’t have time to make your lunch, so you end up ordering out… Every day. DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU PEOPLE! On the days  I worked from home I kind of felt sluggish because I stayed in pajamas all day, no makeup, no shower, didn’t even do my hair – You start to feel like… Blah. However, the one thing you should NEVER do is dress for others. Dress for yourself. If you feel confident in pajamas then by all means, wear them, if you want to dress up every day – Do it. But it’s a proven fact that you will feel better about yourself when you like how you look, whether you are in pajamas or your high school prom gown… Whatever you want to do to feel good about yourself – Do it. But, just because you have an office job doesn’t mean you can’t be stylish too.

 

So here is what you can do:

With this outfit I gave two options for shoes – I totally understand that not everyone wants to wear heels every day, so there is a heel option, and a loafer option. Both will work. The dress pants, I absolutely LOVE! (Navy is such a power color, so it’s great for the office to show everyone who is really in charge) There are actually two tops in this look, it is not attached – So this is good if your office is cold. If it is a warm office, don’t do it – You will probably burn up and explode. Anyways - Find a regular white, button up blouse, and put a sweater with a wide neck overtop. Another sweater you can use for this is one that goes even lower across the shoulders… Such a high fashion, chic look. The finishing touches - In the office, keep the jewelry somewhat simple, and the makeup as well – But this look is definitely a very professional and sophisticated look that will work on many different body types.
