Get Glammed for Work!

One of my best friends, Erin, works for a well-known, Seattle-based coffee company, in marketing.  The reason that I'm writing about her today is that I truly admire her ambitious morning routine.  She wakes up at the crack of dawn to work out, then comes home to change into not just any professional black slacks and a twin set outfit for work, but an actual fashion-y, put together look.  She still manages to get to her office by 8:30am! Corporate Rock Star!

Here's an example of one of her very stylish outfits that she'll wear on any given weekday:

She has a way of making her very stylish look seem effortless.  She's not gone to great lengths to try to get it just right, she just does! Love the red pants and the leopard print belt accent!


With much more time on my hands, I have been known to go the extra mile to glam up a conventional work outfit, with some color, nifty shoes or great accessories.  Here's a recent cobalt skinnies, silk blouse and blazer look with a dash of fun, using a green leather belt instead of just black!

The moral of this story is, take a few extra minutes in the morning, and "joojsh" up your office look to still reflect some of the style you incorporate into your personal style, when you're not on the clock!

xoxo, WEWS

  1. Love these looks. Although it's difficult to find the extra hours during our morning routine, it's well worth it :)

    Best!

    1. Thanks, Tamara! I think, too, that if you invest the time upfront to put a few different looks together, than down the road, you know exactly what goes with what. But that's why I work out in the evening! ha!
