Corporate Vanity

Bah. Monday again. Back to work. :(

My happy thought for the day...I like the clothes I'm wearing. Hahaha. Sorry for sounding vain, but looking good can really make you feel good. :) It's a Cosmo-girl fact. :))

Just to give you an idea...I'm wearing a chocolate brown, button-down, safari-style, hip-length blouse (I don't know what the technical term for this piece of clothing is. Fashion editor, I am not), with black, slim-cut slacks; tan, faux snake-skin peep-toe stilettos from Janilyn; pearl necklace (dammit, I forgot the matching earrings. Haha), and my black leather watch (which goes with pretty much everything).

I look pretty good, I think, given that I just got the first thing I saw in my closet (this top, which I haven't worn in ages). It's a good thing, too, since I just remembered that I have an internal design review meeting with the big boss later today (Ugh. I have to prep).

I haven't looked this "corporate" in a long time. I usually just wear a simple blouse with my slacks, since I cover it up with a sweater once I'm here at work (I freeze in office air-conditioning). I really should put more effort into dressing for the office. Haha! And I really should make it a point to apply make-up before leaving the house. Just this morning, I shared an elevator with my boss...and not just any boss (I'm in the middle of the pile so there are a lot of other people I call "boss")...the BIG BOSS, our company's CEO. I looked professional in my outfit, yeah, but I looked like I just woke up (which is really the case, since I slept in the car on the way to work). I rushed to the ladies' room to apply my usual make-up, and I was amazed at what a big difference a little cheek tint and eyeliner can make. Gad. Am I really getting that old that I need make-up to transform my face??? Hahaha. Boo.

I wonder what I'll wear tomorrow?
