Creative office dressing

/ iamsupercarla / 2 Comments

I think I have to come to accept the fact that even though what I wear in the office is appropriate, it is endlessly boring.  If someone were to observe my daily stylings, that person would say I have taken my liking for gray to a whole new level.  The only window of creativity that I often work around is the fact that I purposely use my shoes to accentuate whatever it is I’m wearing.

I mean, even Carrie Bradshaw would roll her eyes at me and say I am putting too much pressure on my shoes to make my outfit stylish.

Chictopia is always there to the rescue.  It is filled with endlessly stylish people and I find myself often in awe at how creative they get.  In short, I believe I need another trip to the neighborhood seamstress to fix me up some of these things.  (Recent weight gain has prevented me from fitting outfits that are not labeled S or M.  So I’m in denial.  Won’t you be?)

Now, who wouldn’t love an amazing printed blazer?!
In any other day, I would avoid pink like the plague. But I believe because of this outfit, I have completely changed my mind about it. :)
And here I thought orange seems so prisonlike. Don’t you just love how the color just pops off the page?
I’ve always known I would need a double breasted blazer soon enough. I absolutely adore the color blocking!
I knew I loved peach even before this. :)

So from the looks of it, I just have my new Monday to Friday look.  Hahahahaha.  I can so feel HR people rolling their eyes at my choice of color.  But really, who wouldn’t love the chicness of all these?  I so want to run to the fabric store already.  Now, to hunt for that seamstress…

Print on me.

Just some Chictopians whose prints I fell in love with.

(This post is slightly in mourning since I learned the fact that we’re not allowed to wear prints to this event at work.)

Bag ’em. Take ’em and go.

Current fascination:  shoes.  But I can’t be talking about shoes all the time.  That’ll only make me look like I’m trying to be that Imeldific.  Though I do have a goal of having enough pairs to wear one for each day of the year.

Anyway, looking at my closet, not only do I lack proper clothes, but I also lack bags.  So I headed back to my world at Chictopia for inspiration and a lot of ladies there have great choices.  From Alexander Wang to Balenciaga, H&M to Urban Outfitters, Forever21 to vintage items, these ladies have it all.  Now the next step would be having them all in my closet.

And by them, I mean the bags. :)

So yeah.  I am in dire need of shopping and everything superficial that will make me instantaneously happy.  Even for just five minutes.  Or at least the purchase period.  But then again there’s that looming piece of news I am yet to receive.

Hmmmm.  Take them and go. :)

Scarf it down, why don’t you

One of the pitfalls of living in a tropical country is how you will look stupid by having a scarf wrapped around you.  And don’t tell me that I shouldn’t care what other people think (because I don’t already).  It’s just really hard to keep wearing the scarf when it’s about 90 degrees outside.

So here’s an ode to scarves.  And how I wish I get to be a globetrotting lass just so I can wear them when it’s windy and chilly outside. :)

Now who’s in love? :)

Would love to be corporate chic

If you’ll look around my previous posts (as in historical), I’ve been complaining about having too strict dress codes in the office.  I managed to scour the depths of Chictopia and gather a handful of corporate alternatives.  I can’t wait to shop for these items and actually try them on in the office.  Then again, I can’t really make lace shorts corporate right?

Aren’t these amazingly chic?
