The Monday after a long weekend is always hard to face. With an extra long to-do list and deadlines fast approaching I’m doing my best not to let the reality of the work week get the better of my mood. Luckily my job affords me a pretty wide range of outfit options but I like to be strategic about them. When I’m feeling like I need a boost in productivity I’ll wear something more formal with sharp lines and structure. When I need to keep a clear head and focus on details I’ll go for a favourite pair of skinnies, a simple sweater and flats to stay unfussy. But when facing a long, potentially frazzled, week I like to evoke the calming powers of the ever essential denim on denim outfit. It’s casual but not thoughtless and relaxed but not sloppy and that’s exactly the mindset I need going into the week. Plus, it’s hard to feel anything but great when you’re wearing your favourite flares ever!
Is it just me or do you ever use your style to sway your mood?
