Hello!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
If we have been friends for some time you might have read
that I started a new very exciting job recently (back to business journalism in
Canary Wharf). While officially we don’t have a dress code, the rules are still
less relaxed than in fashion industry, where I was working for the last four
years. Jeans are fine, but I probably wouldn’t risk turning up in a tracksuit…
Even if paired with heels. A jumper or a dress with an open back (and I have SO
MANY of them) is not the best option either. So, I’ve been experimenting with
workwear and adding new pieces to my wardrobe. Here is one of my fave looks –
wide palazzo pants, silk green blouse and a minimalistic necklace.
While I’m totally up for pretty much any experiments (in
terms of style at least), there is one particular combo I always tend to avoid:
white shirt and black trousers/skirt. Why? It’s supposed to be classics, right?
Well because it doesn’t suit the vast majority of girls with pale skin, fair
eyes and light brown/blond hair. Because of a low-contrast type of appearance,
the black & white combo simply outshines one and makes one’s face
invisible. People are much more likely to remember that you wore a b&w
combo than your face. That’s the reason I actually look like a waitress no
matter how expensive the clothes are. The main rule here is the following: the
white colour of the shirt (top, dress) should not be whiter than one’s eyeballs
and teeth. I know it sounds sort of patronising and boring, bit it actually
works! Or try to increase the contrast in your face by using a red lipstick and
getting a bit of a tan. At least, according to London College of Fashion - I have a personal stylist diploma :)
Anyways, what I was trying to say is, workwear can actually
be fun and creative – go ahead and play! Please let me know if you would like
to see more workwear inspiration.
Thanks for reading! If I managed to give a good advice to at
least one of my readers then the mission is successful!

Привет!
Спасибо, что
заглянули! Надеюсь, у вас все хорошо!
Если мы с вами
друзья уже какое-то время, то вы, возможно, уже видели, что у меня большие перемены
– я ушла из модной индустрии (по крайней мере, на полную ставку) и получила
новую работу в сфере деловой журналистки в моем любимом районе Кэнэри Уорф
(где я и живу уже больше 4 лет). У нас нет официального дресс-кода, но какие-то
правила все-таки есть: джинсы ок, а вот спортивный костюм нет (хотя...
я не пробовала). И мои любимые платья и джемперы с открытой спиной тоже не
подходят (а у меня их МНОГО). Именно поэтому я пополнила гардероб более строгой
одеждой и сейчас подбираю новые образы. Один из моих любимых – широкие брюки в
духе 80-х и изумрудная блузка.
В то время как я
открыта для любых экспериментов (ну, в плане стиля), есть одно сочетание,
которое я никогда не надену: белая рубашка + черные брюки или юбка. Почему?
Ведь это беспроигрышная классика? Дело в том, что такая комбинация не
украшает практически ни одну девушку с бледной кожей, светлыми глазами и русыми
волосами. Из-за внешности с низким контрастом черное-белое сочетание забирает
весь фокус на себя и лицо просто теряется. В итоге, люди скорее запомнят, что вы
были в чем-то черно-белом, а не вас самих. Именно поэтому я и похожа на
официанку в таком образе - вне зависимости от стоимость одежды. При выборе белой
блузки или платья стоит всегда руководствоваться правилом: белый оттенок не должен
быть белее белков глаз и зубов. Контраст помогает увеличить красная помада и
загар. Это я, конечно, не сама придумала: рассказали в London College of Fashion на курсах по подготовке персональных стилистов
(есть у меня такой дипломчик).
Но это я к чему:
к тому, что офисная одежда не должна быть похожа на униформу и с ней можно
играть, почти, как хочется. Напишите мне, если вам (не) понравилось и хотите ли
вы еще похожих постов.
И если у меня
сегодня получилось дать дельный совет хотя бы одной девушке, значит моя миссия
выполнена на 100%:)
