Work (It) Within the System

Thanks to all who submitted to our office outfit challenge last week! To show the varied possibilities for self-expression in the workplace, we thought we'd share two very different approaches that we received.

Talk about classy! Nathalie Gregg makes a simple pantsuit flattering and fresh with subtle stripes and delicate jewelry. To borrow her words, "That's how I #leadloudly!" Amen.

For those with more casual offices, Marie Schweitzer's outfit may be more your speed. She uses bold colors and a funky statement necklace to add flair—while keeping her necklines and hemlines in check, of course. For more from Marie on workplace fashion, check out her blog.

No need to confine personal style to the weekends! Whether your dress code calls for suits or sandals, there's almost always a way to work (it) within the system. Let your coworkers know there's more to you than emails and spreadsheets, and find a way to let the "you" you love shine through.
