Vintage bowler hat

How many of you work in an office all day? And when I say office, I mean a corporate office where we all must look the same?

Those of you who do may know how hard it is to have your own style in a place where we are supposed to wear uniforms: dark tones suits rule these offices where standing out is quite a sin!

I’m not going to wear sneakers or ripped jeans- not even on casual Fridays, but I always try to have a little something that says something about me everyday: a colored vintage pussybow shirt for example, or a statement jewel or accessory.

I decided to share my “uniform” today by taking pictures during my lunch break, just to show you how I revived my black suit and white shirt: I decided to add something vintage, something funny and of course, something red!

Something vintage: hats are my passion (and a need!) in winter, so I use them a lot… this original vintage bowler hat comes from Portobello’s Market in London and it adds a rock/retro touch that I adore!

Something funny: you must know that I love bow-ties right? I have tons and I use them very often: their retro/funny look represents me so well! I got this Kentucky Colonel Bow-tie from Swagger & Swoon, one of my favorite online bow-ties sellers! They’re all vintage inspired and their patterns are to die-for!

Something red: Red lips, what else?! This Kiko red lipstick is one of my favorite shades and it perfectly suit my ’70s inspired Patrizia Pepe red coat!
