A stylish dress isn't obvious to find because style is not only found in the cut but also in the way the dress fits your figure. My experience is that it's really difficult to find dresses that fits both criteria i e both cut and fit. (So my basic tip about dresses is, the moment you find a dress that makes you look fabulous, you buy it!) Here I've found this Boss dress, made from thick knitted wool with a little bit of stretch in it just enough to make it more fitted. Perhaps it's also the combination of … [Read more...] about My Block Dress

Although leather is a material that has become more and more accepted to use for office clothes, I still think it's a balance between the formality and the rockier/sexier association given by the leather.

Office Selfies
Why don't you take pictures of your office self? I have been working for 20 years plus. Always in positions and environments demanding more or less a strict outfit. Spending an amazing amount of time and energy to find clothes that fits both professional working requirements and my own requirements for style, fun, and cuts that are feminine and flattering. When I look at pictures of myself I realize that I always see myself in old worn out outdated jeans and T-shirts because all pictures are taken on … [Read more...] about Office Selfies
