I'm working on it!) so if I showed you what I <i>actually </i>wear most of the time I don't think it would leave you feeling too inspired, but when</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I go out to meetings and events I like to dress up </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">– it's a corporate vibe, but always with an interesting twist.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">A few weeks ago I was in Brisbane at <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1tUcmJx">Indooroopilly Shopping Centre</a></b> for their Feast of Fashion event, and while hanging out in the newly refurbished designer section I found these beautiful pieces </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">– simple, but unique </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">– and was instantly inspired to do this post.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span> <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's 11 tips for a cooler working wardrobe:</span></span><br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/125572837@N07/15319791335" title="What to wear to on Chronicles of Her www.thechroniclesofher.blogspot.com by Carmen Hamilton, on Flickr"><img alt="What to wear to work" height="427" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5573/15319791335_6141378dca_z.jpg" title="White collared shirt" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Pay attention to detail. How you button your shirt , or how you roll your sleeves can make an outfit your own.</span><br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/125572837@N07/15133206308" title="What to wear to on Chronicles of Her www.thechroniclesofher.blogspot.com by Carmen Hamilton, on Flickr"><img alt="What to wear to work" height="901" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3849/15133206308_e3a014d960_c.jpg" title="White collared shirt and black shorts" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. A crisp white shirt never fails. Try pairing it with something a little unexpected, like knee length shorts. </span><br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/125572837@N07/15133046789" title="What to wear to on Chronicles of Her www.thechroniclesofher.blogspot.com by Carmen Hamilton, on Flickr"><img alt="What to wear to work" height="427" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3837/15133046789_2bce0bf743_z.jpg" title="White Dion Lee shirt" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Invest in simple statement pieces. This white shirt is versatile, but far more interesting than most. It's always worth spending a little more for these unique pieces.</span><br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/125572837@N07/15133046129" title="What to wear to on Chronicles of Her www.thechroniclesofher.blogspot.com by Carmen Hamilton, on Flickr"><img alt="What to wear to work" height="426" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5575/15133046129_c7e8c0a13e_z.jpg" title="Manning Cartell shoes" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Shoes are everything. Use a statement heel to make an otherwise simple outfit exciting.</span><br /><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/125572837@N07/15133246197" title="What to wear to on Chronicles of Her www.thechroniclesofher.blogspot.com by Carmen Hamilton, on Flickr"><img alt="What to wear to work" height="922" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3904/15133246197_1ea9b7eda3_c.jpg" title="White Dion Lee shirt and black shorts" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wearing Dion Lee shirt (available at David Jones), <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1sJA5t2">Scanlan Theodore shorts</a></b> and <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1x08Wre">Manning Cartell shoes</a></b>.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/125572837@N07/15133091850" title="What to wear to on Chronicles of Her www.thechroniclesofher.blogspot.com by Carmen Hamilton, on Flickr"><img alt="What to wear to work" height="426" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3903/15133091850_d2f73abc5f_z.jpg" title="White on white" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Try soft suiting. A soft trench coat is a must this season, and you can wear it on the weekends too.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. Look for pieces with a point of difference, like the shoulder cut-outs on this top.</span></span><br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/125572837@N07/15133047319" title="What to wear to on Chronicles of Her www.thechroniclesofher.blogspot.com by Carmen Hamilton, on Flickr"><img alt="What to wear to work" height="960" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5570/15133047319_8b2517790e_b.jpg" title="White on white" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7. Get creative with layering. Try pieces on together that you wouldn't normally go for. Sometimes the result will surprise you. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8. Go for cropped trousers. Showing a little bit of ankle is flattering and shows off your shoes.</span><br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/125572837@N07/15133092180" title="What to wear to on Chronicles of Her www.thechroniclesofher.blogspot.com by Carmen Hamilton, on Flickr"><img alt="What to wear to work" height="850" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3848/15133092180_ba38009c32_c.jpg" title="White on white" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">9. Consider flats. They give workwear a cool, understated vibe.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10. Make this a rule: if the outfit is soft and feminine, balance it out with a more masculine shoe (like brogues), and vice versa.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">11. Colour block. It always looks polished. If white is out of the question, grey, navy, neutrals, and of course, black, are also good options.</span><br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/125572837@N07/15133206168" title="What to wear to on Chronicles of Her www.thechroniclesofher.blogspot.com by Carmen Hamilton, on Flickr"><img alt="What to wear to work" height="426" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5554/15133206168_9ec0326f43_z.jpg" title="White on white" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wearing <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1pam1pZ">Country Road trench coat</a></b> and <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1ylTzuF">shoes</a></b> and <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1rrwXEm">Veronika Maine top</a></b> and <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1sUJe0z">pants</a></b>.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://createwithsam.tumblr.com/">Photos by Sam Riles.</a></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Up next this week: YSL's new all-in-one red lipstick that you'll want.
