By Huma Rashid Last week, I posted a challenge originally posed by one of my friends who reads my blog. She dared me to find at least ONE outfit among the ones worn by the Miss Universe contestants and make it over in a business-casual or at least won’t-have-to-introduce-yourself-to-the-neighbors-and-be-on-an-internet-list sort of way. And as you [...]
By Huma Rashid So, dear readers, I was challenged the other day by one of my friends, who posted this blog post about the Miss Universe 2010 National Costumes thing, and said she wanted to see if I could turn even one of them into something that someone could actually wear in public without being [...]
By Huma Rashid Sometimes, you really just feel like wearing a white dress. They’re classic. They’re breezy and summery and feminine. It’s best not to overanalyze it: sometimes, you just want to be The Girl In The White Dress. Here’s a way to be That Girl at work, without looking like you just came from [...]
By Huma Rashid Is it just me or are dresses getting shorter and shorter? It’s not just me. Remember the good old days, about 3-5 years ago, when all the supermodels and actresses were wearing dresses 5″ above the knee and it was super racy and scandalous? Those standards seem downright Puritan right about now. [...]
By Huma Rashid We’ve had some fun in the past couple of weeks, putting together outfits for work with things we might not normally wear to work – like sequins. But today my nose is back to the grindstone as I put together an ensemble with something that is easily work-appropriate: the high-waisted pant! High [...]
By Huma Rashid Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve been experimenting with adding certain things to the work wardrobe that we might not add otherwise – things like sequins and shorts. This week, I’m continuing this trend by showing you a great way to introduce more plaid into your work wardrobe. Plaid was really [...]
By Huma Rashid I got yet another email from a reader that referred to my last post here, where I discussed making shorts work-appropriate. This one is kind of in the same vein, in that Melanie wants to know if there’s any way for her to show up at work wearing her favorite sequin-embellished tank [...]
By Huma Rashid I received an email from an alert reader with an urgent question. Okay, fine, I’m fibbing: the reader wasn’t particularly alert, nor did she claim that her question was particularly urgent. I just wanted everyone to think I led an exciting life. But her question is still an important one. The email [...]
By Huma Rashid Don’t worry, we’re not getting political – we’re talking about the First Lady’s fashion sense! I think Mrs. Obama has had some stellar ensembles for noteworthy state events, but she’s also had her fair share of blech outfits. However, I think the greatest thing about her fashion sense is that she always [...]
By Huma Rashid I got this email from Ella, a reader at my blog, the Reasonably Prudent Law Student, where I do my normal Business Casual Superstar series posts. Ella writes, I bought a red blazer. Not a maroon blazer or a burgundy blazer or a dark red blazer, but a firecracker red blazer. It’s [...]
