Office Dress Code

What nonsense is going on here, you ask? Well, it's a pose-off and so far, Joy is winning.

This is what we do here at ChickAdvisor H.Q when we particularly like what one of us is wearing. We hit the posing wall. It all started with Mandy (middle shorty in yellow), who comes to work dressed to the nines every day. It was inspiring for all of us. Then one day Mandy and I wore pretty much the same thing, and posing became a mandatory part of the job.

Though colour is always the most fun, we do love our black and white. The GAP boyfriend white shirt is sophisticated casual and my Cole Haan bag is my new best friend. This poofy vest from GAP is like swaddling yourself in a sleeping bag. I won't mislead you; poofy vests are not on the Chick-approved office dress code, but we got a bag of samples GAP wanted us to try and Joy was elected/coerced to be the model.

I'm cheating with this photo because a: It's not in front of the posing wall and b: you can see the tag is still on the dress. I took the picture to decide if I should keep it (I did!). Claire, (right) was photographed in a parking garage on her way to our writer's cocktail in spring. I know, the parking garage isn't the best backdrop but she looks gorgeous, no? Joy once again looks effortless chic.

Which outfit wins your vote?

lol this is the best although I think I need to change my pose! My faves are the one of you and Mandy, Claire's paparazzi shot, and the Cole Haan purse!

That's true. Claire does look like she was spotted by the paps. My fave is a tie between you working the Zoolander out of that Old Navy sweater and the day Mandy and I showed up for the 3rd time wearing essentially the same outfit.

Love the Blazer and white T combo that Joy is sporting from Zara! Definitely the perfect casual go-to outfit.

Claire said...

Love the Zara blazer! The purple Gap tunic is such a flattering color for Joy, too.

You guys all rock, so this is going to be a really hard choice for me!

I'm totally into Joy's blazer outfit. I actually have the same one but in grey!

Great job girls :)

First of all, Ladies you all look gorgeous! But don't you think it is time to start experimenting with diferent hairstyles too? Just a sugestion. A new hairstyle can punch up most any outfit. Anyway, my vote is for Mandy : )

Ali said...

LOL! Anonymous I love that you said that. I am way lazy with the pony tail all the time.

I like my hair long. Anyone else think I need to change it?
