Not so creative, thats for sure, but he makes a good living so I can't complain. I pick up any slack in the clothing budget! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gulp-business-casual-here-i-come/page/2#post-1015947 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 16:56:58 +0000 christieanne 1015947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Guys and khaki.

You can stick within the corporate standards of fashion while still being cutting edge, cool, and sexy. I'm sure you aren't the only vixen in the office, not in&nbsp;a city like Austin?! </p> <p>My advice: a mix between Mad Men and Joan Jett. Don't allow yourself to settle for a piece of clothing that doesn't make you feel great. </p> <p>Do you have the added challenge of having tattoos to cover at the office? That is my own personal cross to bear... Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gulp-business-casual-here-i-come#post-1015598 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 08:15:36 +0000 Caro in Oz 1015598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gulp-business-casual-here-i-come#post-1015595 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 08:13:29 +0000 ManidipaM 1015595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have fun just being yourself and dressing the part, IK. leave the meh to the men.
