It's one of those days when you're wearing something you really like but you have no one to take your photos or simply put, your boyfriend isn't around. =P Luckily, during these instances I have my grandmother who is game to take my photos yesterday before going to school. :)
top: plains and prints | pants: bench |
necklace: sugar-kissed | shoes: primadonna
One thing you should know about me is that I hate being in a corporate outfit. I feel so stiff and old whenever I'm in them. So when I get the chance to spice things up, I definitely do!
How to do that? First instead of picking a typical polo with stripes or one color to pair up with my pants or slacks, I went for a blouse that had more because it gives the outfit a bit of a youthful feeling and less boring, don't you think?:) With the bag, I would recommend maybe a satchel. You can carry it in two ways: Hanging directly from your shoulder or the cross body type. If you want a little business vibe to it, tuck the straps in the bag and carry it like a briefcase.
But in case you're the type who also prefers wearing plain tops/polos (I admit, I do too!) then accessorizing is the next key to make your outfit look corporate chic!
Just like this beautiful necklace I got from Sugar-Kissed. Even if I already have a colorful top, you can't deny that the necklace made it really stand out. I think you can also wear it in two ways, one is how I wore it and the other just showing flower pattern of the bib necklace. Cute, right?:) Thank you so much to Chris and Iris for this lovely piece and for even naming it after me. Aww!^_^ You can check out their store for their bib necklaces and cute bracelets!
Lastly, when you've got your clothes, bag and accessories ready, the only left is the shoes. :)
As you can see on my outfit post, I'm not wearing pumps or heels. My feet easily get tired from heels and my feet bruise easily in them because I have to walk all the time when I'm in school. Reason why I opted for my wedges from Primadonna and my first impression was they're so high, might tire my feet? But when I tried walking in them, surprisingly they don't and no bias here, they don't hurt at all. I actually can't wait to wear them again!:) So, if you need the perfect shoes for your corporate outfit, I suggest wedges. ;)
Hope this "Corporate Chic" entry was interesting enough to you guys! That's all for now!
