post it ambitions



so, some of the garments i chose might seem kind of boring, or on the safe side. but something about living here is rubbing off on me and i want to look like a lady ALL THE TIME. but not like a lady who lunches, more like a lady at the office who files things. there are many levels to the world of "lady".

i remember going to my dad's office when i was a little girl and just STARING at the his secretary. she was like the first "young woman" i had ever had any interaction with and the image of her cream blouse, black pencil skirt, permed hair and bad lipstick was and will forever be BURNED into my brain. i just really want to look like a korean secretary, y'all. i would come home and scribble jibberish on post-it notes and pretend coffee-make. i mean i dont want to be a secretary, just like pretend like one... i guess.

anyways, if you look at the clothes really carefully none of them are really that office appropriate. but this is MY fantasy office job, so yes, i would definately don a crazy christopher kane cocktail number with leather wires to work. i especially love the burnt/torn burlap sack (literally) from miu miu with the pleated apron skirt. but i kind of especially love anything from the prada empire. the kiki de montparnasse garter tank top is kind of.. sexy. but i promise, that's not what i meant by wanting to be a secretary...
