Well, I have never been a fashionista. I have never been too conscious of dressing up according to what's in and what's fad or what The Digital Runway features. I, however, like looking at pictures of girls clad in the most coveted ladies fashion of our time. Heck, even if I have 24-hour internet access at my fingertips, I still have printed copies of magazines to my liking. And yeah, they are all stack up in my cabinet and they take a good quarter of the space. One thing I have observed though is that I always turn to the classic style and never lean towards the flamboyant. Sometimes I copy celebrity fashion but my own style is really laid back and anything that's comfortable.
So imagine my horror when it was announced at work that the leadership team needs to be clad in business attire Mondays to Wednesdays and business casual Thursdays to Fridays. It used to be that I can go to work wearing jeans and shirt oh sometimes even a hoodie. Personally, I don't see the point of having a dress code at work when you work at unholy hours of the day and the nearest contact you have with your client is a telephone. So, sometimes I follow, sometimes I rebel. It's not like I am going to be featured in a celebrity news blog anyway. I am there, for heaven's sake, to handle a process, coach employees and the works. I am there to lead a team to meet goals and revenue and not to sashay down the runway. Well, I am not saying they are asking us to but that's what it feels to me. Maybe I am just having a hard time shaking off the casual feel at work back in the days. After all, a coat and a tie doesn't make someone more intelligent. Actually!
But yeah, reality bites! I need to really adhere to this already else I will be written up. I am set to unearth the business casual items (dresses, skirts, slacks and blouses) I have hidden for some time already. In the meantime, I think shopping for new ones is more appealing though...
Do you have a dress code at work? I think for now it's time to shop and so I can rank myself against the stylish people out there.

We do now. And its kinda stupid since I work in an events company where people are always on the go. I was able to came across your blog because my superior asked me to write a memo re dress codes to one of my co-workers. Hahaha. But lookie here, I'm wearing a shirt under my cardigan. Nyahaha.
