Balance

As I spend more and more time at my internship, I find myself wearing the same combinations over and over again. It's deflating that my work wardrobe is so lacking. When I see combinations like the Australian stock-broker below, I long to re-stock my closet with more fashion-forward choices. It is a tricky balance to strike between being appropriately conservative (as required to be taken seriously when interning at a law office where I am the youngest attorney-type), while maintaining my own sense of style. I see so many law school students with the black suits, white button-up shirts and traditional pearls, and I do not want to be one more clone in the crowd.

Anyone else have to balance workplace demands and personal preferences? How does that work out for you?

Because they are lovely

First of all, they both have great smiles and just look happy, which made me happy.  Also, the woman's outfit has amazing proportions and is just so perfectly balanced and coordinated without being too matchy.  The man plays it cool with a simple t-shirt and jeans combo, but keeps it interesting with the wide-neck of the shirt, the 'not your average baseball cap' hat and those substantial boots.  They both look hip and it is apparent they put thought into their sartorial choices, but are obviously not fashion victims.
