How to Create Drama at Work (without being scandalous)

A blazer with big, big sleeves

Obnoxious sleeves are the best for being dramatic. The good thing about this blazer is that you don’t have to commit to it for the full day – take it off when you’re in work-mode, then cause a scene when you walk out with it at the end of the day.

A blouse that keeps you awake

If you don’t need to stick to corporate colours, then don’t. Opt for bright colours that put you in a good mood or interesting prints to bring excitement to your 9-5 wardrobe.

Over-the-top earrings

They’re the easiest way to update any outfit – whether it’s for work or the weekend – so collect as many as you can, they’re all worth the investment.

A bag that means business

If your workplace dress code doesn’t allow you to get too creative with your wardrobe, then you can always keep it in the bag, literally. They spend most of their time by your feet, tucked away under your desk so is there harm in carrying one with a little more character?

Fancy footwear

Like OTT earrings, fun shoes have the power to instantly elevate an outfit. Pick ones that pair nicely with the rest of your work pieces so you don’t have to start your wardrobe from scratch, and keep in mind the fact that you actually have to work in them – so no outrageous heel heights if you’re always on your feet.
