Outfit #11
Often times it can difficult to decided on what to wear to work. I mean, everyone wants to look good and be fashionable- but sometimes that doesn’t translate well into the ‘work-appropriate’ category. A while back I read a very good book by Nicole Williams titled “Girl on Top: Your Guide to Turning Dating Rules into Career Success” with a chapter that goes over how you can mix and match your everyday items into business casual wear. The author has a few guidelines, but they basically dumb down to one simplistic rule: wear just one sexy thing. And by sexy- I don’t mean your best cleavage shirt or mini skirt. Haha- no, I’m talking ‘sexy’ in a more conservative and stylish way. Like the belt in today’s outfit for example. The outfit as a whole is pretty conservative, and then there is that edgy black leather belt that really accentuates my waist line. That belt: my one sexy thing. It is flattering, and breaks the outfit into the stylish category, while muted enough to keep it work-appropriate.
Cute outfit!
