Fabulous in clashtastic florals and abstract leopard print

There’s a scene in the documentary about New York street style photographer Bill Cunningham in which he dons a waterproof poncho to venture out and scout for stylish folk on the streets of the Big Apple. His desire to hunt for style is not dampened by the rain. I will confess that my efforts to […]

Street style: Business Casual leather jacket and a pencil skirt
The Christmas-card season is upon us but that doesn’t mean that many of us are racing to the finish line with business-as-usual! Now “Business Casual” is a dresscode that comes up a lot around this time and while I normally call it “Contemporary Business Wear” myself, when working with clients, I have found it handy […]

90s chic on the street with crop top, culottes and mules
Did you wear a choker back in the 90s? I think I must have at least tried one on but the visual “cut-off” at the neck did not suit me very much. This is just one of the reasons why I’m much appreciating today’s BusiChic Sarah who is rocking some 90s inspired pieces in such a flattering […]

A first job interview outfit
I captured today’s BusiChic fresh from a job interview on one of Melbourne’s sweltering hot days. Emma had interviewed for a role as a Receptionist in the fitness and had all of the lovely, happy nervous energy of someone who really wanted the job; very endearing. So how do you work out what to wear […]

I’m currently fixated upon finding the perfect work dress – follow my efforts on the dedicated Business Chic Dress Pinterest board. Currently “perfection” for me will come in the form of a number with sleeves and pockets. However, today’s BusiChic reminded me of the benefits of a sleeveless shift dress –   I think that […]

Street Style: On Wednesdays We Wear Pink
Back when I first started blogging, there was a style challenge that used to make the rounds that decreed, “on Wednesdays we wear pink.” While it’s been some time since I’ve seen that espoused anywhere, I like the sentiment. See so often it’s easy to wear safe black, navy or grey. why not set aside time […]

Street Style: White Dress & Leopard Print
Work in a relatively casual workplace? Whether that’s home or with other people, it’s easy to dress very casually when there isn’t a dress code line to toe. It’s important to dress for comfort and getting the job done, but that doesn’t mean that your outfits have to be all or nothing. Take inspiration from today’s […]

Street style: Print dress and a cardigan
Usually when looking for a work dress, I seek out something with a sleeve and structure which often means a stiffer fabric. However that doesn’t mean that dresses in more relaxed fabrics can’t be made office-appropriate; it’s actually quite easy to do as demonstrated by today’s BusiChic. Inspiration for those in the office when you’re […]

Street style: Interest in the blue dress
Bank workers get stereotyped as “pinstripes and suits” but today’s BusiChic shows just how broadly bank workers can dress. A hued dress with an interesting neckline and paired with fashionable sandal heels – Jeanette’s look is great inspiration for the Contemporary Business Wear worker particularly as the weather warms up later this week! Taking Five […]

Street style: The case for black and white
On manic Mondays when I find myself switching from a really-great-weekend-that-I-wished-didn’t-end to the work week, the benefits of having an easy-to-coordinate wardrobe comes to light.   Inspired? Monochrome is SO good but there’s also a case for going beyond black and white – check that post out too!

The coffee crew: extroverts vs introverts
In my opinion, one of the best things about work is finding “your people”. It’s easier than it sounds if you think about it; in the hiring process The Company will hire people who are a good cultural fit and will get along. How do you know when you’ve found your people? I think it’s […]

Corporate style and the Pride tree
One of the things that I most love about my co-working space is being surrounded by self-starters and their work. People who have a passion and are firing ahead, guns ablazing to get their projects off the ground. There is always some event or thing springing up and adding vibrancy to the community. The Pride Tree […]
