It’s dead week, and in the school of business, that means students who normally wear sweats to class are forced to dress professionally for presentations. Normally dressing up makes me excited, but I get finicky when it comes to business attire because I am utterly opposed to looking frumpy.
I have found a simple solution: polka dots.
Polka dot tights say, “Yeah, I’m wearing a suit, but also, I’m not a total prude.” Worn here by myself and the ever-so-classy Sarah Harden (Bottom: mine, J Crew. Top: her’s, Target)

And then we have Gregory Christian, the owner of the world wide web’s widest horizontally stretching blog. Greg wears this polka dot shirt; the polka dot shirt does not wear him. How dapper (he will roll his eyes as he reads this)! Love ya Gregor.

Today’s lesson: business attire does not mean frumpy; let your personality show through, no matter the dress code.
