Red and White

Today was the day for a cheerful work outfit. Something that would make a cloudy, rainy and dull day seem bright and sunny. Strictly speaking weather, it was not cloudy, rainy or dull, but for me it seemed that way when I looked out from inside my little cubicle.

So I set out to create an outfit that could be out of a 50's movie. Why a 50's movie? Because, these movies always seem to have happy people who never have impossible deadlines to meet at work. When I think about how people lived back then, I realize that they did not have to sit in tiny cubicles at work. Also, most people understood the meaning of the work they did and how it affected people's lives in a very real and tangible way. Today when I think about some of our jobs, it just seems like we are pushing paper (in most cases emails) and not doing much else.

Now that you know that I am very fascinated with the time before our time, here is what I have created.

Accessories: Red shoes, it could be red pumps or open toe shoes. May be a red checked hair band and little dangling earrings.

Make-up: Red lips and minimal eyes
