Okay, Monday’s outfit photos were really crappy, but (as always) I didn’t have much time to take proper pictures. To make up for this, I found two better photos of what I wore to work on Monday:
This is the red fake-leather jacket I wore on my way to the office. Too much black might have scared my co-workers.
This is the jacket I wanted to wear at first. It’s made from heavy wool and keeps pretty warm on colder days. I really liked how the outfit looked with this jacket but unfortunately it was way to gothy for my job.
Have you ever decided to change your outfit at the last second because you weren’t sure it was work-appropriate?


Have you got comments for looking too much black dressed? I’m lucky I never received comments, but I have indeed received eyes
. It will be interesting to hear comments about my side shave on friday when we have a party at our job and everyone will be drunk. I think it was a fabulous combination to use a long necklace and a scarf, it looks so nice. I never seen it before and haven’t tried it, but I definitely will after this.
How did the party go? Did they comment much?
Yes, I often receive comments concerning my outfits so I try to dress pretty average whenever I’m around my co-workers and bosses.
Oh I was supposed to write a smile with a tongue but it came out smiling. Well it gives double feelings when people stare at work.
What perfect timing for your question! I did that this morning. I was all dressed in an outfit I frequently wore to my old job, when I suddenly became self-conscious about my dress being too… form-fitting… around the chest area. lol! I ended up changing from a tight shrug to a loose cardi because I didn’t have time to re-work the whole outfit.
I actually like the red jacket a bit better for this look! It has more impact, in a very good way. Of course, I always like black-on-black, so I love both looks!
Today, a younger woman at my new job commented to me, “I used to wear almost all black, too, and the I realized you NEED to have color.” I could barely resist rolling my eyes at her. It was funny to hear someone half my age implying that I would eventually “grow out of it.” You just can’t get your co-workers to understand you sometimes, and sadly we have to work around it the best we can!
Hm, I think you are right. The longer I look at the photo I, too, think the faux-leather jacket looks better.
Haha, cute comment!
Although her comment should have been something like:
“I used to wear almost all black, too, and the I realized you NEED to have color so people stop bothering you all day long.” Hehe.
