discovery: something about adding a jacket to an otherwise feminine outfit, you know, an i’m-too-sexy-for-da-cube kinda thang:
2005: leather jacket – danier/2011: skirt (one of my fans) – boutique@seneca/2012: blouse – espirit, heels – 9west
it took me about 2 years to get around to wearing this jacket after i bought it (turns out i like the ‘idea’ of the studs but in reality i wasn’t convinced i could pull it off). but almost 7 years later this jacket has become one of favourite pieces.
i normally wear the jacket on weekends but i realized this is a great way for me to wear it in the cube.

When you find something that feels right, concentrate on refining your skills and educating yourself about yoour chosen field. Commit to it.
discovery: this $35 denim pencil skirt (its got stretch too) is a great look for casual fridays.
2011: belt – jacob/2012: patent pumps – 9west, blazer – h&m, top – sara, skirt – rw&co ($35)
the traditional denim skirts can tend to make you look like you’re already in weekend mode. this one kicks it up a notch, taking me from day to after-work drinks. it’s sure to keep me lookin’ cube-tastic all season long.

is there a school of “that’s not my job, but i’ll do what i can to make yours harder” that some people go to?
rediscovery: i bought this dress for a wedding in 2010 and never wore it again. wondering if i can work it this year in warmer temps (and before it gets too damn tight!)
2010: dress – 9west, patent pumps – joe fresh
this dress makes my arms look lovely. i seriously need to work this again. for real.

style inspiration: kerry washington in this lovely patterned full skirt + white blouse looking oh so chic:
my inspired work appropriate look:
2010: patent pumps – joe fresh, ruffled blouse – jacob, multi-strand pearls/2012: skirt – anthropologie, leather lady-purse – locale
this is my first full skirt. i’ve always been a bit apprehensive about this particular style – wasn’t sure how flattering it would be on me.
but i’m loving it – so chic. i really like the pattern of this skirt and the fact that i can wear this skirt with any number of bright coloured tops in my closet e.g. green, orange, blue. i’m gonna put this skirt to ‘work’ for sure!
