I have heard from multiple sources that a certain former Director of Sales at a very posh downtown hotel had quite the risqué taste in clothing. I also heard that she was smart and good at her job. But, mostly people talked about how slutty she dressed.

Moral of the story- to really get ahead in life (we’re talking in Chicago, not Hollywood) its best to show some modesty in the workplace. Thing is Poor Little Rich Girls are on a budget, so sometimes we try to be creative by throwing our “going out” clothes into our work rotation. Hey, there’s no shame in that because it saves us money. We need to be smart about it though or coworkers may not take us as seriously as we’d like. The goal at work should be to show off our talents and skills, not our goodies.

To Keep Things Work Appropriate:

Sheer, shiny or silky tops are fine for work if they are layered under or over another piece, like under a vest.

Tops with tiny straps look great under a blazer. Just make sure the front is not too low cut.

You can even wear your nighttime dresses for work, just be sure it is at least knee length and top it off with a longer jacket.

What other ways do you girls mesh your work and regular wardrobes?
