Just for context, I have a white collar job and the unofficial "dress code" in the office is pretty casual. I used to wear slightly dressier things when I first started, but I felt kind of out of place so I gradually wore more comfortable things lol (aka became lazier about trying to achieve business casual.) I even wear slippers to work sometimes! I end up wearing slippers because I end up walking a lot because I catch the bus, and I don't want to wear heels every single day because 1. it's bad for your feet (supposedly) and 2. because I'm lazy. Basically, for me, since some days I literally don't even leave the office, only see like 2 of my coworkers, and I don't deal with the public, I don't feel very much pressure to dress "up". I always try to wear something decent, of course - no t-shirts or shorts or midrift, and I rarely wear anything sleeveless without a cardigan most of the time, but on Fridays sometimes I will opt for jeans!
Anyway, this is basically an outfit photo dump ala Cheesie, hah. There's a square crop because I actually took all of these from my Dayre lol. Some days I was lazier than others - using the timer, some days I felt like showing my face/hair wtf, some days I took the photos in a different location, but in any case...here's some of my work outfits!
I'm always surprised about how much I like wearing this skirt/this color lol.

I just now realized, I have a lot better work outfits than this, but I just haven't photographed myself in them wtf. Don't know why I'm even having this post in that case, but maybe a part two later lol.
Oh and just a small heads up! In the past, a lot of my posts have been about my Liz Lisa orders, but I'm trying very hard to cut back on my spending until July. As a result, I'm kind of grasping at straws for content to post about if I'm not shopping, haha. I think I need to head into a little more of the Lifestyle aspect than Fashion/Shopping. Unfortunately, my life is not very exciting, but hopefully I'll find some things to share with you! Suggestions?
I already saw these on dayre but cute outfits, I wish I can wear nice things to work but I have to wear office clothing.... in black and white. TT_TT utterly depressing. Mmhhhh, if you're wondering for content, you can look up tag posts, like what's in my bag and 10 facts about me or whatever it is and do a few of those? Otherwise, I don't know TT_TT
ReplyDeleteLol I know these are so repeat for you! I'd do what's in my bag but it's mostly receipts and candy wrappers....
Deleteeeep cute! I always wonder if I could get judged wearing floral cute stuff for corporate office jobs, it's just so kawaii *v*
ReplyDeleteLol well I feel like I'm always judged for what I wear no matter where I am. I'm in a unique position where (as far as I know) my boss isn't strict about dress code because literally no one sees me if I don't leave my cubicle all day. I sometimes go weeks without seeing him or other coworkers if I don't make an effort to and our office is really small haha!
DeleteSo lucky you get to doll up for work! For now, I wear a crappy uniform to work lol! I've always liked the outfits you put together and I wonder, does it take long for you to put them together?
ReplyDeleteLol to be honest, I'd rather wear a uniform (but maybe I feel that way because I didn't have to wear a uniform for school). That way I don't have to spend money on work clothes, although some obviously double as daily/casual clothes as well.
DeleteI don't usually spend too much time thinking about what I'm putting on unless it's a weird/interesting piece, then I probably have to try on several things with it.
Hey it's Roselle ;) I know this is an old post but I'm starting a new job in support at a Tech startup, and I REALLY want to wear Liz Lisa to work, but I know up in the PNW so many people wear dark colors and earth tones and hipster business casual that I should tone it down some until at least I know I can dress freely. I was trying to find ways to tone down Liz Lisa and make it more office friendly, and this post is helping me a lot, so thank you. If you have any updated ideas, please let me know! I might make a few mock outfits too and tag you on Facebook for feedback. Keep doing you, I love your blog so much!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely consider updating this post! I've actually changed jobs twice since this post but the dress code is probably just the same.
DeleteHowever, I'd say that the best place to look for my current work OOTDs is in any of my OOTD posts here - https://emiiichan.blogspot.com/search/label/OOTD . I list where I wore the outfit to and probably 90% of them are for work! I basically don't do anything else besides work so that's what I end up dressing "up" for lol.
