Must haves in your work wardrobe

-
Hey Gems,
How is everyone's weekend going?

I got a request that I loved from a reader asking what they need in order to have all the needs for a new job. I am so excited for this because I went crazy in buying all sorts of wardrobes when I started working that I didn't end up needing! So here are the top few items everyone should have in their work wardrobe that will make sure they are all set!


1. Black jeans

So its no question that some offices require more formal dress but most now are satisfied with business casual! This means black jeans, no rips and a nice top. I suggest buying 2 pairs of black jeans because they will need to always be ready to go when you need!

2. A go-to blazer

One blazer is enough and trust me on that! I have so many and never wear them! I only really use blazers when meetings, important clients, etc. are ongoing. If there is no need for a blazer, it isn't my favourite. 

3. You don't need a tone of dress shirts

Okay so, I bought a tone of nice shirts, blouses, etc. when I first started working but it really wasn't necessary. The simply black tee with a nice skirt or simple top with a blazer pairing means that you don't need a tone of fancy tops. I would say purchasing 2-3 nice tops and then just make sure you have some nice suitable tees that can easily be slipped under a blazer or tucked into a skirt is key. Also, consider that you will wear sweaters and knits in the winter so these are only for half the year.

4 Winter of turtlenecks

In the winter, I love wearing turtlenecks to the office. Not only is it an easy, classy and sophisticated look, but you can be warm and cozy all day too! I think these blends of classy style and comfort for longer days is really what matters most!

Really the biggest tip I can give is to gauge what the office is like. I would say always over dress for your interview and first few weeks on the job. Then, once the "new girl" phase has ended and you have a good understanding of expectations for both work and fashion, you can go a little more personal with it!

Loved the question!

Send me any other requests, I will be happy to write for you guys!

New Year Update!

-
 Hi Gems,  Wow it has been a while. The last time I wrote and published on here was in October which honestly feels like a lifetime. As the holidays came and went, we rang in the new year and I find myself thinking a lot about not only lessons learned this year but the direction I want to aim for when going into 2024.  As you may know if you follow my other platforms, I am getting married this year which feels surreal! It's been so far away for so long and here we are counting down less then a year! I also am so proud of Tia things on Instagram , TikTok and Youtube because I really have pushed myself to create more all while having fun! With all of this in mind, here are some of my goals going into 2024: 1. Have a life outside of wedding planning  Wedding planning has genuinely been so fun and even in the stress-inducing times, I would not change anything for the world. I am so proud of how much we have done, saved, planned, etc. as we put together our perfect day....

Furniture shopping

 Hey gems,  I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine as summer is approaching! We have been busy trying to pick out all the furniture for the new place. It has been quite a wild journey to get here so I thought I would take some time to review everything that has been going on! Firstly, my favourite store by far is Structube , it is my favourite place and has such a great variety of items but way less overwhelming then a big store like Ikea.  The first thing we picked is our dining table and chairs. The chairs are warm brown leather and the table has a fake live edge that I LOVE! This was the easiest item to choose by far! This is all in a warm theme and tones that will go well with the dark floors and cabinets. We also have been very budget conscious in the whole process and the table was a great price for a larger size so this was a no-brainer.  The next main items I picked out are decor because I had some very specific ideas like a gallery wall and big mirrors! We...

Low budget Fall (lockdown) date ideas

Hey gems! How is everyone doing? Recently I have had to get super creative when it comes to date nights especially with the new lockdown we are limited in where we can go. So of course date night often include walks because not only is it great to get fresh air but it helps with the mental components of being stuck inside. We get tired of them quick though and need to mix it up during the week so here is what I came up with! Turn TV into games: You can chose any show or movie you are watching and turn it into a game! For example, every time a certain character says their catch phrase you either take a bite, drink or do something silly that you both agree on! it can be something silly or answering any question! This basically gets as creative as you want to! Newlywed game (quiz) Basically any type of quizzing each other on how well you know each other! We did this with my sister and her boyfriend as a competition but it can be fun just between the two of you as well! This is super cute ...
