Winter Blues!

5 Ways To Wear Denim To The Office Then To Play!

I constantly scan my closet every single morning and think I have nothing to wear to work! Tights make me feel like I am suffocating and slacks make me feel like I am headed to a depo in court... There has to be more options! Let’s please have a moment of honesty here… Don’t you want to mush all your weekend wear into the work week so you feel like yourself while closing that killer deal? I am a denim junkie – getting high every time I score a new pair of jeans that fit like a second skin. The catch is, that I wear them only when hitting the bars for happy hour or on the weekends which is a total buzz kill since they consume my closet. Always thinking of how I can strut into the office with a pair of jeans on and still look super professional, I think I have actually mastered the “business” look without getting executive eyerolls. Skip needing to run home after work to change for that date… Check out this go to guide of how to wear denim to the office then straight out to play.

Go Dark

Dark denim reads as a neutral! Ya know…no holes or any of that sandblasting on the booty that looks like you sat in something. Instead go for deep indigo so that your co-workers can’t question how professional you are! Cut doesn’t matter so bounce between boot cut, high-waisted skinny or fashion denim to change things up! Trust me – your day will be smoother and you’ll tackle everything with major confidence!

Slap On A Blazer

Blazers look professional and that’s what you want to be. For about 15 years after my bat-mitzvah I swore I would never wear one again… until, I realized that if I throw on a cute blazer and roll up the sleeves, I can channel the lovely ladies from the pages of InStyle magazine! A blazer finishes an outfit (who cares what’s underneath) and draws the eye upward. No one will even realize you have jeans on! Slip it off once 5pm rolls around!

Get Lacey and Sparkly

Pairing denim, which reads as more casual with a sparkly or lace top that you would wear for something, more formal is a perfect way to walk into work! A dressy top will draw the eye upward and still be appropriate when at a meeting. The statement-making top will balance out your casual bottoms for something completely office appropriate!

Reach New Heights

At 5’2 I love a heel and if I were 6’2 that definitely wouldn’t change! Heels means business – after all, no pain – no gain!  They lift you up and give you that boost that always says, “Look at me”. Make sure you slip into a pump, a wedge, not too sexy sandal or beautiful booties to show you mean biz even with your casual bottoms!

Tuck It In

Blouses are beautiful… They are perfection for stepping up your look and ideal for a suit-less work day. However, tuck in that blouse and throw on a belt for a clean, neat and professionally seamless look. Untucked shirts throw off a sloppy vibe and an “I don’t really care” attitude. A quick tuck will make your denim seem a lot more crisp, tailored and ready to rock!
