Monday Morning...
Or it's better to say Monday mourning. Yes, Honey, rise and shine. It's time you harvest what you've sown during the weekend. But you had a great time, right?.. Wait, where did we stop? Morning. The smell of burning toasts, a sip of hot coffee (ouch!), and you're out swirling into the honking sounds of the awakening city.
Oh, boy...
I love Fridays, Saturdays and even Thursdays. And I just abhor Sundays (because they come before Mondays) and the Monday itself obviously. But no matter what day is breaking over the horizon, the most important question I ask myself – what shall I wear today, hmm?
Dressing for another workday in the office can become a nightmare if your goal is "dress to impress" or "dress for success". Well, it depends on the nature of your job, of course. Personally I don't have any strict dress code rules. I don't like the word rules anyway. Just a few guidelines – the right word – that I keep in mind choosing what dress or suit to wear.
The main guideline is to avoid toos. After you think you are ready to go, take a final, critical look in the mirror. You don't want to look too informal or too sloppy, too strict or too sexy ( hey, don't distract people from doing their work properly
). Choose simple and elegant things. But you don't want to look too plain either. That's when jewellery can help brighten up a little.
An elegant bracelet or a simple necklace with matching earrings will help create the right message you would like to send out to your colleagues about your personality and attitude to work. But don't get too upset if someone at work doesn't get your message correctly
. Remember like every cloud has a silver lining, every week has a Friday coming soon.
