Pink Leather Blazer with Black Dress

I love love love love leather jackets, but they tend to be more rock and roll or biker chic.  I wouldn't mind either one, but I love them so much that I want to be able to wear them to the office.  So begun my journey for color leather jackets.  Here is one in soft baby pink.  This one is from St John by Marie Gray (the brand that makes sweater suits).



Jones New York has been a favorite of mine for work clothes and this dress is no exception.  Beautiful on its own or as a base for showcasing my color entourage of jackets and blazers.  Icing on this cake is this beautiful BORN black leather sandals.  Finally found it in my price range and I grabbed it.

Hmong Purses From Ebay Seller

I saw this wonderful seller on ebay.  I bought this purse and another one.  They are both gorgeous.  Will need to find time to take a photo of the other one.  This is a wonderful seller to work with.  Easy communication.

Yes, I did wear this outfit to work with this purse.  The dress is a lace-ish from JC Penny.  The leather jacket is from Catherine Malandrino.  And of course, my trusty BORN black mary jane shoes.




This auction is still going as of August 5, 2014.  





Total Cost = $125 plus $15 Shipping and Handling.

Chic Camouflage for Work

Although these pants are very casual, I think that with the right design and right blazer, it could work for a casual workplace.  In a casual work environment, such as technology, media, and entertainment, it would be perfectly acceptable to wear your earbuds all the time.  Since there are no established rules, you will have to figure out what is appropriate and what is not.  You don't want to seem square or be ridicule for being formal, but at the same time, this is your career, and you want to be taken seriously.  You can wear casual, creative, and offbeat items.  A full suit or anything formal looking that would make it look like you're trying too hard.

Another type of office environment that this might work in is impersonal, such as manufacturing, hospitality, and call centers.  In these types of work place, it may seem like everyone who works here is just passing through.  While you may enjoy the cordial working relationship with your boss, it's possible you've had little face-to-face contact.  You might even feel more like a number than a person.  You feel invisible - so it is virtually impossible to care about how you look.  You can wear pretty much anything you want, but people might look twice - and not in a good way if you were to put on anything too showy.
