Shoes Day Tuesday: Slippers

While we have billed ourselves as a blog dedicated to work wear, it is clear that we are a working women's lifestyle blog (meaning we write about whatever we want). Working women have weekend activities and host holiday dinners. And working women need to relax and get cozy when they get home from a long day at the office. Which brings us to today's Shoes Day Tuesday post on slippers. We obviously are not suggestion that you need slippers for the office, but you definitely could use some cozy footwear when you are at home this winter. To be honest, I (Elizabeth) am pretty much braless and in PJs the second I cross the threshold of my apartment in the evening, and I don't think I'm alone in that (she's not). Slippers are a great addition to your loungewear style. Here are some that we are currently loving.
  1. These animal themed clog style slippers are super cute and have a rubber sole in case you don't want to slide around on your hardwood floors a la Tom Cruise in Risky Business. Elizabeth especially likes the owl pair.
  2. While slippers are not outdoor shoes, you may end up running out into your driveway, or like Elizabeth, have a laundry room in your building where a slipper that feels a bit more like a shoe is a good thing. Katie 2 is not a fan of Uggs, but Katie 1 and Elizabeth are not so judgy when it comes to these warm and cushy shearling slippers. They are a classic style and, like the pair above, have a nice rubber sole.
  3. These fleece slippers are great for packing if you are traveling this winter, and they have a ski resistant sole. They feel a bit more like socks and can go in the washer. There are a lot of colors and patterns out there. Elizabeth has a plaid pair and one with hearts.
  4. Katie 1 swears by these Ikea slippers. They look like oven mitts, but she says they keep her feet the toastiest of any slipper she has ever tried. Plus, her husband tried to steal them, so you know they must be good.
  5. Slipper socks for $10 at Target are another great option. These mid-calf socks give you extra coverage and the Sherpa-lined (read "fuzzy fleece") and grippers will have you feeling cozy and sturdy.
Hopefully one of these speak to you either for yourself or as a gift (bonus Gift Guide selections!), so get your cozy on.

Workout Wednesday: Let's Discuss that NYT Article

By know we've all read (or read about) that New York Times  opinion piece shaming women for wearing anything other than sweatpants to the gym. We're not going to link to it here because we don't want to send additional traffic to the website; however, THIS article from Jezebel  sums the article up quite nicely (make sure to check out the comments, they're gold). In short, the author of the opinion piece wears sweatpants to the gym, doesn't see anyone else wearing them and then proceeds to shame women for (1) wanting to look nice in their workout clothing; and (2) wearing anything other than baggy sweats to the gym. The article also cultivates the very thing that the author claims the proliferation of the yoga pants culture seems to cultivate: it shames women for dressing how they want, when they want.  The overarching theme of women shaming aside (because we don't have the time to go into that), most of the points that the author makes in the article are jus...

Mad for Plaid: An entire post dedicated to Black Watch Tartan

Confession: Katie 1 has a slight obsession w/ Black Watch Tartan. Why? First, because it’s a combination of her favorite colors.  Second, the Duchess of Cambridge.  Third, it has a pretty cool history which makes it even more fun to wear.  It’s fairly common knowledge that Black Watch tartan is named for the 43rd Royal Regiment, commonly known as the Black Watch.  Did you know that Black Watch tartan actually pre-dates the formation of the 43rd Royal Regiment?  In fact, one of the theories behind why the 43rd is called the Black Watch is because of the very dark appearance of their uniform tartan (which we now know as Black Watch tartan).  So how deep does Katie 1’s obsession go?  She could wear a different item of Black Watch tartan every day for more than a week obsessed.  Want proof? Here’s a list of all of the Black Watch items in her wardrobe. Blazer Work Dress Casual Dress Side Zip Ankle Pants Front Zip Ankle Pants Trousers Ski...

Back to Basics: The Sheath Dress

We're back with the second post in our series of basic pieces that working women should have in their wardrobes. If you missed our first, go back and check it out . The goal is to show you those items we come back to time and time again and show you a few ways to wear them so you 1) get some mileage out of the pieces and 2) you don't look (or feel) as though you're wearing the same thing every day. The capsule wardrobe. Be honest- how many times have you pinned it? (Katie 1 would like you to know she's has NEVER pinned it. She has no desire whatsoever to create a capsule wardrobe thankyouverymuch.) Whether it's for vacation or every day, we search for those elusive few pieces that we can mix-and-match in a million different ways to create an entire month's worth of outfits with just seven pieces! We here at Not a Corporate Fashun Blog have no mastered the capsule wardrobe. We, just like you, wake up in the morning with a closet packed full of stuff and ...
