Work Wear Monday: The Man’s Suit

Salvatore Ferragamo

Sometimes, it’s quite fun to experiment on a more masculine look BUT without sacrificing the sensuality of your gender. As a woman, we ought to accentuate and work on the contours special to our gender. Though dresses and skirts express our femininity best, it doesn’t mean we can’t venture into wearing them suits […]

Work Wear Monday: Going for Length

Halston

The idea of wearing maxi dresses at work may be a bit of a stretch so let’s trim it down a bit and go for ones that fall below the knee or ones that reach up to the mid-calf. It has the same dramatic effect, well, sort of. But I’m sure you get the […]

Working with Wrap Dresses

Image: oldnavy.com
It’s been a while since I last talked about outfit ideas fit for the office environment. Being out of work a freelancer for the past two years or so, has made me a whole lot more casual in terms of dressing up. Pah. Who am I kidding? Even when I was tied to a […]

Outfit of the Week: Belted Taffeta Shirtdress

Belted Taffeta Shirt Dress by Teri Jon
Glittery rhinestone belt accents an inset waist, vertically seamed for a slimming effect above a full skirt. Wing collar tops a gathered, V-neck bodice.
Believe it or not, I did find this outfit on Nordstrom’s catalog. And, yes, it’s on sale — their Anniversary Sale. I love its classic lines […]

What to Wear: Speaking Engagements

I came from training a bunch of corporate people on blogging yesterday and I came home with one thought. What should have I worn to the darn thing? LOL.
I’m not your typical “stuffy” corporate slave and I’ve got this “rebellious” flair in fashion that even when I worked corporate I never looked the part. Hehe. […]

Topshop Jersey Dress for Work

Since I started work a little over a month ago, I’ve been scouting around for decent work wear. I’ve been on several shopping escapades but, sadly, I haven’t really added a lot of new pieces to my current wardrobe.
When I saw this Jersey Dress over at Topshop, I practically drooled, uh — er… nevermind. LOL. […]

What to Wear: First Day of Work

“No Dress Code.”
That’s what my new boss said. Gah. “A bit boring for a fashionista, huh?” I had to laugh a little. Had he known the relief those words brought to this particular fashionista, he would have laughed at the ludicrous-ness! Hahaha.
Don’t get me wrong. I do love getting dressed for work and all. Uh, […]

Women in Men’s Clothing — Giving it a go this Season

I’m not asking you to turn a new leaf — I’m just talking about going for the look, the men’s look, this season. LOL.
It’s a rather challenging thing to do especially when you’re used to wearing gorgeous dresses, accessorising to the max and overly attached to your sexy silk tops. I totally understand. I really […]

On Owning Whites

I’m sure most of you would love to own and wear whites. I do. Just like this Cotton Poplin Shirt from Celine that I found at eLuxury. It looks great, don’t you agree?
However, there’s always that trouble of keeping them white after a certain period of time, right? I know. And there’s that constant worry […]

Add A Little Romance In Your Work

Fashion-wise!
You weren’t really thinking I was suggesting that you involve yourself in a little affair in the office now, were you? Heehee. I wouldn’t do that if I were you. Ack. I think I should limit my thoughts and propaganda on dating and relationships to my other blog. Hahaha.
What I’m actually suggesting is that you […]
