Today was one of those wierd days I just noticed smells.  Maybe I was a bit sensitive today.   So with that small amount of background, here are my top 5 smells you don't want in the office.  I had them ALL today.  Judging which one is worse than the other was hard,  but for today this is the order!

5.  Bad breath of a co worker After lunch - (this is 5 because it isnt always the person fault)

4.  Stinky lunches (today someone a very nasty smelling tuna casserole, it was like burnt rotten tuna.. ewwww)

3.  Chain smoker, after a smoke break. (my apologies to the smokers who read that, but today it got to me)

2.  Receptionist who takes a bath in cheap perfume.  <Gag!>

1.  BO from the guy you just can't say.. "Can I buy you an anti persperant"  This one person, works out at lunch and doesn't shower after, mornings are fine, after...repulsive.  You can be OUTSIDE his cubicle and still smell him.

Ok that was actually my complaint and even typing it up, still irritates me!

It has been awhile.  I was reading some of the articles on DeskDemon about dressing for the job.  So here are my top 10 outfits for the job.  I wish I had pictures!  I am going to have to cut it down this time to the top five.  I have tons of clothes I just wear, but not quite 10 that I go, that looks GOOD in!  (I need to go shoppin')  So here (if you can picture them in your mind) are my top 5 outfits.  If I try to get any message across it is, you can look cute, wear different type of outfits, but still look professional.  If you fee you are bland, try accessories! 

5 This really sounds tacky but it looks nice.  For the most part I wear skirts to work.  I like to dress to look good.  If YOU feel like you look good, it shows to others.  This outfit is purple.  I know it sounds funny, but it is a nice match.  It is a deep dark purple skirt that has a very think dark purple not quite jacket but light cotton shirt that would go over a cute .. white, gray, off white, black, blouse. This is the hardest visual to try and type out.

4.  My dark blue business suit.  Yes it is a pencil skirt but the jacket has a really low button cut and is somewhat double breasted.  I cant explain but it is very cute.  The skirt goes just above the knee, which gives for a much thinner look then any dress that goes below the knee.  Think traditional.

3.  I admit it, I love my casual Friday jeans.   I wonder if other companies still do casual Fridays. I dress up the jeans with a very nice shirt (never a t-shirt unless it is a clean up day) and some jewerly/accessories. I never wear faded jeans.

2.  Believe it or not it is some twead pants, that I wear with some black flats, a very warm cashmere (not quite tan) sweater, but what makes this outfit is the scarf that keeps me warm but also accents the outfit very well.  My top two go from the coldest weather to the hottest!

1.  My yellow and white summer dress that is cute, cool and adorable, and very appropriate for work.   It is also great for those days it is really hot outside.
