Office Attire for Women

Looking for office attire ideas? I have something for you today. It is your lucky day! As I have heard, there are a lot of college students that graduated from different universities that are looking for jobs during this season. Maybe some are already hired now. Maybe there are still confused on the outfit to wear. They should start dressing themselves with a little maturity but youthful. Sophisticated and elegant. They should separate themselves from being a student because they are now professionals. Hello, adulthood! Hello to paying bills and maybe family life. Before anything else, I want to share with you what to wear during work or even for interviews. When I was visiting this website called FashionMia, I got hooked with the interesting clothes they have to offer. It might be for special occasion or just for work.

Here are my top 3 bodycon dresses:

Surplice Plain Bodycon Dress – This is simple yet elegant perfect for morning till dawn attire.

V-neck Plain Tie-Front Bodycon Dress – Wraparound dress are one of the basic items that a woman should have. It accentuates the waist of a woman. It gives an illusion of smaller waist. *wink *wink

Round Beck Plain Bondycon Dress – Another basic that every woman should have. Our little black dress good for any occasions.

Here are my top 3 cute tops for women:

If you are not that type of girl who loves dresses, here are the choices for you. Cutie tops that can be worn with pants, leggings or skirts.

Autumn Spring Chiffon Women Round Neck Bowknot Plain Long Sleeve Blouses – the details are so intricate yet so pure because of its color

Autumn Spring Blend Women Tie Collar Plain Roll-Up Sleeve Long Sleeve Blouses – this is one of my fave tops I saw from the catalogs. It looks simple and sophisticated. It can be worn with skirt or pants.

Spring Summer Polyester Band Collar See-Through Plain Long Sleeve Blouse – super loving this top. It is girly but seems like you’re a mature one. You are in the middle of I am not girl not yet a woman kinda thing. Let’s meet in the middle and compromise.

Popsockets Phone Stand and Grip from Georgina Sasha

Popsockets Haul

I learned about the popsockets from my colleague. I was intrigued and she showed me how to used it. Then, I realized I want one!!! Hahaha So I searched a lot of online shops and the one who has the best offer was from Georgina Sasha site. Looks legit than the others.

I bought three popsockets. The donut design was supposedly for my sister but I realized my mom need it the most. Haha She has a new phone back then and a little bigger for her hands. The good vibes design was for my hubby.

Look at those unicorn stickers! Cuteness!

Here is mine. The Galaxy design. I immediately decided to try it in my phone.

Now, my phone is easy to grip.

Lalalalalove.

The Verdict:

For Georgina Sasha - even though it was my first time to a have a transaction with this site. It can be trusted. I made my research first before buying (as always). The site has a lot of good reviews. Easy and fast transaction it was. After the confirmation of the payment, the items we ordered were received within the week. Woot! The quality of the products were in good condition. The unicorn stickers they included added smile in my face. I love unicorns. Haha My new obsession. We also got free shipping because we reached more than 1000 Php.

For Popsockets - it was easy to use. Just stick it in your phone where you feel most comfortable with it. For me, the best place will be the lower middle of the phone. I have been using it for months now and it is still here in my phone case. I can’t live without it now. Hahaha it helps me grip my phone or it can be used as a stand if you will be showing or watching a video in your phone. It can be transferred too easily. If you think it has less stickiness, just dab some water in the sticky part. Then, viola! It will have a strong hold again like the last time you tried it.

Overall I will give both of them

★★★★★

5 stars out of 5 stars.

Wedding 101: Invitations by Sureprints

Invitations are important. It has all the details of the ceremony and the reception. My wedding coordinator suggested to give the invitations a month before so people will have more time to prepare and take a time to file a leave just in case it is a work day for the attendees.

When I was looking for a vendor for our invitations, I was searching rigidly in google, instagram and other various sites. I was hesitant at first to trust people online. Then, I messaged and sent inquiries to different vendors. I also searched for reviews or just in case it might be a scam. They responded and the affordable price won the deal. And the winner is... SUREPRINTS! I decided to choose them as a vendor because they have affordable sets of invitations and wonderful design. I have no any regrets.

The Verdict:

Sureprints is owned by Krystle Ann Co. At first, she was not responding in my messages. So I was close enough to find another vendor. I gave myself a deadline, if she did not reply during that time. I will find a new one, lucky she replied and she asked me with details of the invitations. She gave me the price and told me she will able to assist me next week. I updated her after a week, I gave her my pegs for my invitation. After a few hours, she replied with a layout. It was fast. Layout is free. Unlike other vendors, corrections are limited and it has extra charges.

After few days of constant conversation in viber, my invitation is done. Yay! She is easy to instruct even with some special details to add in some of my invitations because of the requests of different family members. I am so sorry. I have no major problems with her. The only thing I have a hard time is contacting her when I have questions or ideas, I want to add in my invitation. Some of the time, she was not replying immediately. The usual time she replies was around 11am to 2pm or midnight. To be sure, I also sent her emails. (Sorry, kulit ko) Hahaha She will reply with my suggestions and ta-da! edited versions sent. She works fast. She also find ways to save few bucks in short she suggest the best ways to save. (Unlike other people, nanaga ng price) The essential thing is I love the design of my wedding invitations. Simple yet elegant. 😄

I will rate her service as...

★★★★✩

4.5 stars our of 5 stars
