At work, you want to stand out but not in extra-funky ways. At the core, it's about dressing for girls - who are most of my fans - and you want to dress up for them. You just want to feel like you're on top of your game.
Unless you are a lawyer or Fortune 500 CEO, carrying a briefcase is, well, nerdy.
I design for the working girl.
I usually wear casual clothes to the office. I wear a suit maybe two or three times a month, and usually only when I need to meet with the head office.
The emergence of Casual Fridays has created a fine line of fashion ion dos and don'ts.
I wear mostly black Main Line or T… But the other day, the sun was shining so I wore blue jeans. It caused so much excitement in the office! People were literally coming up from the floor below and peering behind my desk saying; we hear you’re wearing blue jeans and we have to have a look
When I was a young lawyer, working women wore hats. It was the only way they would take you seriously.
I do think younger women have to figure out how to combine their own sense of style with what is appropriate and authoritative. Some young women think there's no reason why they can't wear flip flops in the office in the summer because their accomplishments should exempt them from a stodgy dress code.
A lot of scarves are made to stand out and therefore not appropriate on your head, say, at work.
I have yet to do a job where I would really get to rock the great clothes. I'd love to do a job where I could wear Thom Browne.
I find it so unattractive when women wear sneakers with their business suits. I wear a nice pair of loafers or low-heeled pumps, and that's that.
If I went to a regular job, if I was a secretary or something, I'd want to look good. I'd dress up for that part.
I know it's practical for career women, but sneakers with suits? Jesus couldn't possibly weep harder than I did.
