Bonjour! As one of you has requested, I shall address the necessity of chic attire for work and for play.
As a young career girl, you must show that you, your mind, and ideas are fresh with how you dress. Yet, always keeping it mature to establish credibility. A great example of such dress is this structured blouse pictured. Not only is this blouse work appropriate but it’s fun and mature and absolutely a divine addition to your business wardrobe. The key points to this piece that make it chic are:
1. it’s bright!
2. it has small details! (Bow on the back, ribbon trim, etc.)
3. it’ unique!
This structured blouse could be worn with a knee length, high-waisted skirt to give that hideous business “power suit” a big old revamp! I believe we all know what suits I am describing. Here darling, I’ll help your memory out and just show you a picture of this grotesque tradition.
Filth I say! Well, that is an example of exactly the attire to wear to look perfectly un-chic. A simple hint to know that your outfit may be un-chic is if you could easily be a walking black and white photograph. So many people make the mistake of wearing mostly black, white, or brown to work. Although these colors are great and necessary to creating the most exquisite outfits; you should always have variety in your life! After all, that’s how you keep things fun and interesting, and fun and interesting is what being chic is all about!
Also, not only is it important to wear splendid looking clothing (once again that is always professional and never too revealing) to establish your reputation at work, but also you must always be in the right attire for drinks after work! What colleague would invite you out after work if you dress as if you were going to jury duty selection? (Of course that is a lesson for another day but, although being chic is serving your community, but it is also quite difficult to be chic cooped up in a crowded and tense courtroom all day. One must look important in a suit, but not wear anything to stand out and call for attention. Presumably, a replica of that horrendous outfit pictured above. But that of course would have to be borrowed from a friend!)
These rules for detailed, bright, and unique clothing still apply to recreational attire (with of course more stipulations that depend on the occasion.) The rules for professionalism are weakened a little because chic living requires the ability to move and dance, and sometimes this may require more playful clothing! Accessories such as jewelry and purses are also a great way to add color and fun to an outfit, especially if it’s looking a little bit jury duty-esque.
Ali, love, I hope this helps. I give you my best in all of your professional endeavors, and I hope that your chic wardrobe will also give you its best wear along the way.
Until next week, tres amour! Kiss Kiss!
