Try to find unique pieces...

Try to find unique pieces, either in outfits or accessories for your work attire.

This necklace, for example, is perfect for dressing up even a simple polo shirt, and is sure to draw a lot of compliments.                                                                     

The dress to the right here is another unique piece, from Terra Nostra's new fall 2011 collection, that is fun, flirty, quirky, yet can be worn in certain offices or worn out to a work party!

     

This outfit to the left, again from Terra Nostra's collection, is fun, flirty, simple, and yet totally professional for any office space. The colourful flip-flops add a nice punch to the whole outfit (though I don't recommend that footwork for work!!!).

So, don't be afraid to wear unique things to the office space, as long as they're no too over-the-top...

In a male-majority job and want to stand out as a woman? Do it through fashion. (Part 1)

Put a feminine twist on typical office guy wear: T-shirt and capris (generally with sneakers or open-toed sandals)!

Wear a T-shirt in a colour flattering to you (e.g..: if you have blue eyes, try purple!), with a bit of cleavage, and a feminine print (e.g.: mode design).

With the capris, go classic and neutral. Let the T-shirt do the talking... 

Always accessorize: wear a belt to complete and tidy up your ensemble, and try some bling**!

**Don't wear massive jewelry, i.e. a huge necklace or earrings or rings... Keep it simple, but make sure it ties in with your outfit, including your shoes. E.g., if you have silver detailing on your shoes, wear silver jewellery. Also, it doesn't hurt to get some unique and/or timeless pieces. See more on unique pieces here.

For the shoes: Unless high-heels are part of the dress code and instead of sandals (any type, including the dreaded flip-flop), try a ballerina shoe in a colour that goes with your shirt. Ballerinas are cute and timeless.

And there you have it! Just because this is a man's world, does not mean you have to dress like one. Besides, it turns people off (and not just sexually).
