But it wasn't long before the evil dragon lady broke our young heroine's spirit. At first dejected, the girl realized this was in fact a blessing in disguise. She decided, with nothing else to do with her time and with a little money saved up, to return to her studies. She attended university, learned nothing but how to look down on those who didn't (wasting her money and time in the interim) and found herself right back where she started, albeit a little less young.
Now, on the verge of her re-entry into the workforce, our girl faces her greatest challenge yet... re-building the once grand work wardrobe she wears to infiltrate the corporate world.
Here is her plan of attack.

Fucking Awesome post!! I love the stroy-line and all of the outfits! I will definitely come back to this once I get off my ass and get a real job. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great post & plan!!! Too much fun. I'm going to give it a go :)
ReplyDeleteHaha. Love this. I had a little mental breakdown on Saturday when I was trying to find something "fun" to wear to a wedding and realized I only posses "work clothes."
ReplyDeleteLove that gray suit. I'm in the hunt for one like that. My staple work look is slacks or a pencil skirt and a cardigan. (and comfortable shoes....no 9" heeels for this professional!!!)
WOW awesome post!! You always put together such great outfits.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this post! The mini editor is awesome, the fairy tale is hilarious, and the post itself is really helpful! I especially like steps 4 and 5:) You are so adorable!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a simple and *AWESOME* way to explain what I consider to be a formidable problem (c: And am I the only one that actually played with the mini-editor??? And may or may not have put together *multiple* outfits *ahem* (c;

Thanks everyone! Glad you guys tried the mini-editor - it is so fun, isn't it?! I'll try to add more of them to my posts. :)
ReplyDeleteA mini editor?! Fun and genius!
ReplyDeleteGreat picks and detailed steps!
My style in the professional world has definitely changed since the early days when I was a fresh out of college newbie. (They don't teach you dressing for the part within the other curriculum!) Confession: I wore flip flops, with my dress pants, for the first six months of my first big-girl job. I thought I was being "business casual." ;)
@Leslie: LOL! Hilarious about the flip flops! I wore towering heels because it was all I had other than running shoes. Think J-Lo construction booties from the early 2000s. And you're so right - they don't teach dressing for the part in the curriculum! But they should, right?! ;)
ReplyDeleteExcellent post! thanks Polyvorina
