My boss would laugh - where would she put her Magic 8 ball and Bert and Ernie figures? I keep three cardigans that will match any outfit, an alpaca blanket, several pairs of shoes that I don't want to walk to work in, and at least one umbrella. Lint roller, fashion tape, safety pins, shoe brush, pocket shoe shine, and static guard in a drawer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-the-office#post-2040096 Thu, 04 Jul 2019 15:04:09 +0000 Bijou 2040096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep a navy blazer at work so if I get cold which is more often in summer, I can pop it on and still look professional. I get it dry cleaned every so often to keep it fresh.</p> <p>I am very impressed by your green thumb, the only plants that seem to survive with me are succulents.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-the-office#post-2040035 Thu, 04 Jul 2019 12:58:13 +0000 Cee 2040035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gum boots...

None. Everyone of us has a locker like in schools only smaller. And we put in there everything from a desk at the end of each day. A clean desk policy! Not just clean but empty. So, the space in the locker is extremely limited. I keep an umbrella, a lint brush and a scarf. In the winter months I remove a scarf since I would wear one under a coat and add two pairs of shoes which I change for another two pairs after a few days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-the-office#post-2039913 Wed, 03 Jul 2019 17:42:47 +0000 Angie 2039913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:)</p> <p>You are FABULOUS.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-the-office#post-2039904 Wed, 03 Jul 2019 17:10:10 +0000 Kirstjen 2039904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie,&nbsp; I don't want dirt under my fingernails when I show up for those manicures lol... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-the-office#post-2039869 Wed, 03 Jul 2019 15:16:41 +0000 Angie 2039869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Kirstjen, </b>I like your office standbys.

Generally, I want to be able to see practically all my items when I plan my outfits at home. So whenever I had plans of going out straight after work, I took this into consideration before leaving home in the morning and would bring the items I needed for that specific day and evening/night.</p> <p>Nowadays, I work and live in the same building, so I can easily go home and get things I need. However, at my office I keep a little makeup, a few toiletries, allergy medicine and hand cream. If I had to work elsewhere, I would also want to keep the following items at hand: hair brush, clear nail polish, one or two pairs of tights, a little sewing kit, a lint roller, perfume, extra reading glasses, and an umbrella. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-the-office#post-2039648 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 15:25:55 +0000 Anonymous 2039648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a lint roller at each office!<br /> My rolling office (car) is another matter....</p> <p>Gym bag inc 1 set gear + walking sandals-refreshed daily<br /> Pool bag- if I think I may get to one<br /> Bike helmet if I bring bike<br /> Miscellaneous toppers depending on weather<br /> Extra tights in cold weather<br /> Sunnies, glasses<br /> Small makeup kit, hair brush also live in the car<br /> Eta-in winter a hat and lovely selection of gloves too! The ones not stuffed in various coat pockets that is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-the-office#post-2039646 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 15:17:36 +0000 Liesbeth 2039646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha I'm picturing a full wardrobe in your office :).<br /> I used to keep only a blanket scarf at the office. Now nothing, a clean desk policy and limited cupboard space will do that. Have no need actually either. They're offering yoga classes at lunch break but I would not keep worn gym clothes there... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-the-office#post-2039635 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 14:42:17 +0000 citygirldc 2039635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Because, I bike to work and tend to wear some of work clothes while bicycling, I leave a few items at work: 1 black cardigan, 1 white blazer, lots of shoes under my desk, hair brush, deodorant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-the-office#post-2039631 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 14:39:31 +0000 Kirstjen 2039631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What kind of clothing/accessories do you keep at work?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I have 2 suit jackets, 2 sweaters, 1 pair of booties, 3 pair of sandals, 3 pairs of loafers, 3 pairs of pumps.&nbsp; I also keep 2 umbrellas, a briefcase, a pair of specs, a full makeup kit, perfume, a lint brush, shoe polish, and probably 15 pairs of earrings.&nbsp; It seems like a lot of the shoes get brought to work for a particular outfit and then never make it home again.</p> <p>I frequently get midday manicures and pedicures.&nbsp; My staff knows that they can always find a spare umbrella in my office if they have to leave in a downpour.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I've been known to have T shirts and shorts as well, but not currently.&nbsp; This was because I was going to physical therapy during the work day.</p> <p>Oh, and I keep gardening gloves at work. Mostly because the office plants were really pathetic when I got here.&nbsp; And now they are not.&nbsp; I guess my mother's green thumb rubbed off on me... </p>
