Work clothes are always the least fun for me, since my industry is not particularly creative or accepting when it comes to fashion.  One time I wore a dress to work, I got many inquisitive looks and "Did you run out of clothes?" from the men.  I always say I am going to ignore their comments and start wearing what I want, but I never had the motivation.  Luckily, I do get a lot of encouraging words from and "Where did you get that?" from the girls.  Hopefully with this blog, I will have the motivation to do it and create more fun outfits.  

The fact that the nails matched this shirt was a coincidence, but I was happy to see they did!  As my hubby said, "They are radiating."  I borrowed the polish from my friend and I am loving the brightness of the color.

Gotta say my first 'thank you' to my photographer.  I keep trying to get her in the shot and she keeps running away.

To tuck or not to tuck?

There are probably those days that you are feeling a bit frumpy and it seems like your outfit is just not coming together.  If you one of those encounter those days, try this trick - tuck in your shirt.  For the last few years, I have been wearing a lot of tunics, so this trick was not so useful to me.  With the recent trends of high waisted pants coming back in style, I have re-discovered the magic of tucking.  Then, I realized that it works with low waisted pants too, as long as your shirt is long enough to be tucked in.  By doing so, you will give your outfit more shape and less 'blah'.

A picture is worth more than a thousand words, so here is the comparison.  I am wearing the exact same thing in both pictures, the only difference is untucked t-shirt and tucked t-shirt.  Notice how much more 'put together' the outfit looks with just one simple trick.  Your legs also look slightly longer since your top is not covering part of your bottom.
