How can I show my own style while dressing professionally for work?

Mar 23, 2009 Author: Style Chex | Filed under: Style

I really have a punk-ish style, like putting different colors in my hair, and dressing in Hot Topic type clothes. I’m also a bigger girl, so when I find "work appropriate" clothes that fit properly, I don’t feel lik myself at all. I work as a receptionist in an office building, so I have to be dressy (ie no jeans or t-shirts). How can I show who I really am while still dressing professionally for work?

Accessorise your work clothes with jewellery/bags/scarfs/etc.

Nothing too ‘over the top’ but just little things to make you feel more confortable and more ‘you’.

Find some fun shoes to go with your outfit.
That’s what I do. I have some super cute dress shoes on right now, except that they are red with white polka dots!
I also use scarfs to tie up my hair, tie on my purse, use as a belt, all sorts of things. I have several that were my grandmother’s so they are a little out of the ordinary.
You can also use fun funky jewelry.
Anything that fits your personality as an accessory to your business attire.
good luck
