Everyone should have a fashion staple. An item that stands the test of time. Or at least a really good pair of black boots.
Fortunately, I can encapsulate both categories with one pair. And! They’re work appropriate — as long as you don’t view them under harsh white light… hehehe… These boots have withstood time and my periodic beatings — presenting my beloved Doc Martens!

I’m always secretly thrilled when co-workers compliment me on my outfits. Yes, there is actually a business dress code here. Yes, it’s not nearly as lenient as the ones “enforced” at previous jobs. No, there are no such things as Casual Fridays here (if there are, really, I haven’t seen them yet).
Yesterday, it was “Oh Corinne, you always have the cutest outfits!” A few weeks before, I received, “You make business wear fun!”
I think the important thing is not to find clothes that fit the code, but to find clothes you love — and that shows off in how you put the outfit together. Obviously, while still trying to follow the code. I’m no stranger to dress codes though. I had to follow them in high school. Preparatory high school. Yep, one of those.

I love this skirt: Norma Kamali high Waist Skirt
However, if I hadn’t created my very own pair of jeans that looked incredibly similar to this for less than $3 back in college, I might have bought this up. Might have. I’m guessing it cost maybe $5 for the number of safety pins on that skirt. I’d really rather pay good money for items I can NOT DIY.
Ah well…
