Happy Friday!

 

Happy Friday Everyone!

To gradually transition into the more relaxed style of the weekend, I am wearing this nautical/Michael Kors inspired look to work today. The tone of the photo setting has more of an office vibe compared to MK’s sunlight drenched and nautical infused advertisements. However, I would do my best to recreate the mood of his ads into the office:

- I would incorporate stripes and “cognac” (the color, of course) into my office outfit. DONE
- I would play my fave 90′s reggae hits in the background (Yes, I am stuck with 90′s music)
- I would wear Jennifer Lopez Glow fragrance (I have had this for a while but it has a scent that reminds me of a suntanning lotion).
- Open the blinds up so the sunshine brightens up the office and change my screensaver to an image from Tahiti.
- I would have to borrow a hunk from the neighboring office

Work should get done somehow and I would beg my co-workers for forgiveness later for the excessive sunlight, perfume and noise :)

I hope you have a great weekend filled with laughter and sunshine.

xoxo, Teodora

City Shorts

Hello everyone,

Are you looking to add some variety to your work wardrobe? Pencil skirts and pants work great but you are searching for something new that exudes power, comfort and style? Tailored shorts may be the answer. To say that this is a trend that got my shopping juices going would be an exaggeration. Angie with youlookfab.com and this particular post inspired me to dig for this trend within my wardrobe. Once you try the right pair on, you cannot deny how chic and work appropriate they can be. The 4 inch heels are of course optional.

xoxo, Teodora
