  1. Very good advice. I love clothes and always look forward to finding out what the latest styles are going to be for each season. I too try to incorporate the latest looks but make sure they are appropriate for my work environment. I love adding accessories such as scarfs, jewelery, and purses to add a pop of color and update my wardrobe.

    Well, I actually have a smart looking blue “Kumon” shirt that I wear with black or khaki pants or jeans with cute flats. I wear earrings, and/or bracelets to dress it up a little and my students like to see a little bling on my bracelets! Just makes it a little more interesting. That is essentially my “uniform”.

    I love scarves, they are easy to mix and match and spice up outfits. However, on days where I need to feel my best I have go to dresses that always make me feel gorgeous and like a power player :)

    My favorite outfit at the work place is one where I can make a statement with fun accessories, while keeping the rest of my outfit neat and clean. Pencil shirts are my all time favorite article of clothing at the work place because they look good on practically any one and can be matched with various colored tops and blouses and still look clean and polished with one solid color, such as black. My love for accessories is what ultimately determines my outfit choice for the day; I can not resist color and I believe somewhere in your outfit no matter what the occasion, a pop of color goes a long way!
