    I need to add a bit of myself to my work outfits!

    But I have to wear black pants (capris and shorts are ok when it's warm), clunky shoes (heavy w/ no heel), and a plain top (no logos, pictures, etc).

    I'm getting tired of having to spend 6 hours a day not looking like myself. Do you have any suggestions?

    carry something in your pocket that reminds you of who you really are

    tie a pretty and vibrant scarf around your neck to accentuate the plain top.
    Wear some earrings
    tie a scarf around your head like a headband
    wear cool looking socks that make you feel fine.
    wear a neat hair-tye or hair clip
    home-made ankle bracelet above the clunky shoe
    a beautiful belt.
    a decorated pin on the shirt
    funky buttons you painted yourself
    I don't know what you like. I have the same trouble with work outfits myself, so I've thought about this topic on and off.
    Love!

    At my last workplace I had to wear a lot of black too (and it's depressing I know) I used to brighten up my outfit with a large bold necklace which made quite a diffrence :)

    i agree that jewelry is helpful--i usually add beaded necklaces, or a big stone pendant.
    what about your hair? i love funky baretts. or clips. you can make them yourself from plain metal ones with hot glue and beads, or hemp.

    work clothes suck :(

    I use to have to wear black pants and a white button up at my old job. I use to wear this awesome seventies floral print tie.... or this awesome beautiful butterfly broach.

    And always bracelets and rings

    I use to wear my dreads in pig tails or in a bright scarf.... scarves can be your best friend in the work field.

    that's what I do. Usually my rose quartz of my sand lizard. I have my favorite pair of earrings, my peace symbol ring, and my patchoulli oil.
