Getting Creative with Gifts

Working in a ‘casual’ office can be quite the challenge when you’re deciding what to wear – at least it has been for me! I generally like to look good, so when I was told that the dress code at my new job is casual attire, I wasn’t quite sure what that meant. Is it acceptable to wear shorts? Would a dress be too formal? Going into my first day, I might have been more stressed about my outfit than about starting a new job! I decided to be safe and err on the side of too dressy – looking a bit too formal would definitely be better than coming off as a total slob in front of my new colleagues. I wore a pretty conservative top tucked into a knee-length skirt, and completed the outfit with a pair of neutral colored ballet flats. Continue reading
