Dressing up is an effort, as well as an accomplishment. Not everyone is blessed with a great style and fashion sense. It's always a challenge to conform with the norm, or even go out of norm. Sometimes, you might end up being called weird or crazy if you wear something that's not in accordance to basic pieces. But ever wonder why those items "in style" or "in season" are more often than not;
NOT in anyway near staple pieces in normal wardrobe / closet?
These great geniuses or fashion gurus are always
"fashion-forward" that's why! They're not afraid to do their own thing and flaunt their skills the best way they can, regardless of what other people say. And for me, that earns a lot of respect.
I posted a few entries before about my challenge ... some how, in
corporate dressing. Somehow, there's this fear of coming out with
"too-old" or
"too plain" or
"too formal" look. Being in the corporate world, I know I need to dress up but the choices somehow may not be fit for me. However, choosing the other styles may look
"too young" either - which may not be appropriate for an office wear. There's always that borderline. And having a
company dress code; while it does help us project that better corporate image; it's also a big challenging.
Take for example, my
Outfit Post: I Think I'm ♣UGLY♣ where I mixed office wear with trend shoes,
heel-less wedges. The look received a lot of good words and comments from fellow bloggers and fashionistas; to the level of praise some how; but it received quite a number of mixed reactions in the office - from the level of "ok" to "not appropriate."
So what look can be good enough for
corporate / office wear without being too flashy? So I just joined this site called
Polyvore and wow; it has a lot of style inspirations for fellow users and it's fantastic how you can create your own style inspiration. I played around it for a bit and came up with this look using items from one of the shops I also physically visit -
The RAMP Crossings ...
