10 Second Wardrobe Makeover: Your Average Pantsuit

Hey, reLYME!

At my new, corporate job, it’s pretty much expected that I wear pantsuits, or ultra-corporate attire. My day-to-day look consists of black or gray pants, and a black or gray blazer. Every once in a while, I’ll wear a colorful shirt underneath. Aside from that, how can I add some more fun to my office look without looking office inappropriate?

Sincerely,
Bored in the Office Jungle

Dear Bored in the Office Jungle,

Boy, do I hear you on this one. I faced this same dilemma in a past job. I tried experimenting with my look a bit, until I realized that it only takes about one addition to your ensemble to make you stand out in your cubicle. (Plus, too many trend infusions might look unprofessional!) Here’s what I suggest:

1) Try adding some zest to your feet with these saffron Julia Drivers from Elie Tahari.

-or-
2) Incorporate some blue hues with this tiered turquoise stone bib necklace from Banana Republic.
