Work Wednesday Again? No problem.

This is one of the support NPCs from my D&D game. Her name is Turi Ahmemni and here’s how she looked before meeting the PCs and after a few weeks traveling with them. Life’s been rough for our littlest cleric. But on the plus side she’s got like... 500% more friends than usual.

For real though, I’ve yet to find an upper limit to the lengths my players will go to ensure her safety. It’s really touching.

Work Wednesday: Welcome to your 1st day of work!

Congratulations! You got the job! You’d think that after the interview you would stop feeling nervous, but it is normal to be anxious on your first day of work.

Prove Yourself. Remember to bring the documents needed to prove your identity and eligibility to work (Social Security number, ID card, passport, etc.). Your HR department should send you an email in advance to you let you know what you need to bring on your first day. I have seen people come in without the proper paper work or unofficial copies of their documents. Unfortunately, they were sent home and could not attend the orientation.

What to Wear. Yes, once again you have to think about what would be the appropriate attire to wear to work. This really depends on you job position, so remember to ask if your employer forgets to tell you!

Prepared to Be Overwhelmed. Halfway through your day you may feel overwhelmed trying to remember everyone’s names, what they do, what you need to do, etc.. To avoid asking too many questions, first try to do things on your own. You may be surprised by what you can learn by yourself. However, don’t be afraid to ask if you are unsure! It is better to ask when you are just starting rather than 2 months later when you should already know.

Breathe. Do some power poses. Be excited!

Night of Whimsy

In dainty pastels for a beautiful ballet show at the Autumn/Winter collection launch of Pandora in Mega Fashion Hall last week.

Taking cues from the current fascination with all things magical and nature-inspired, the beloved luxury brand creates a new magical classic that mirrors the mystique and novelty of fantasy films and TV series, and altogether polishing if off with signature sophistication.

The collection is a creative reimagining of an enchanted forest. Picture the tall, swooping trees lining the woods, or the golden fallen leaves from its branches, the somber moon as it lights up the autumn starry sky, or the mystical florals that bloom in the twilight, a sense of otherworldly wonderment for autumn. Crafted from sterling silver, 14k gold, colored enamel and sparkling cubic zirconia, each piece can be collected, stacked, combined and styled with other pieces.

Echoing the collection inspirations, Pandora brought to life the mystery and magic of the forest through interpretative ballet and scenography with "A Mystical Tale with Pandora," staged by the Philippine Ballet Theatre. Written by renowned director and playwright Floy Quintos, with costume and set design by Gino Gonzales and narrated by theatre veteran Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo, the ballet story is about the journey of a girl, Pandora in search of precious discoveries and valuable moments.

I absolutely adored the show, as well as my latest pair of earrings! With Pandora's Rochelle Romero at the very lovely photo wall. Those autumn leaves looked both exquisitely opulent and realistic at the same time. The perfect nightcap to an otherwise mundane day at the office.

Which brings me this week's featured work wear. It's an outfit you can readily take from the office to a dinner out. I went with bright pastels in lieu of the usual dark hues.

My other Pandora charm bracelets: Stability and Faith from the Essence collection, and my own design.

"Keep Your Faith" pendant, Me&U.

Ice blue quilted bag, SM Accessories. 

The comfiest pumps in cotton candy pink, Ferretti. Hype this on Lookbook here, vote on Chictopia here.

After writing an article on what to wear to your job interview, I got a lot of requests to feature "non-traditional" and colorful business ensembles. If you have a work-related style question or outfit requests, let me know via Tumblr Ask, Facebook inbox, or Twitter @lovechicph :)
