You can read the fashion magazines; you can window shop and drool; or you can check out a new career fashion blog that does the legwork for you, while providing great hints, tips and ideas for any budget – all with accurate photos to show the final result, and get you to think of more ways to put your wardrobe together to dress for success.
Finding The Perfect White Blouse
This new career fashion blog is sponsored by BasicBlouse.com, which sells only one item – a basic, styled white blouse, the kind that is impossible to find when you really need it. Ingeniously, the founder of both BasicBlouse and Career Fashion Blog, Johanna Magnusson, intertwines these two sites so seamlessly that sometimes you aren't quite sure which site you are visiting.
Frustrated with personal efforts to find a quality white blouse, BasicBlouse was born as an online retail store to sell this one product. But business fashion isn't just about getting that white blouse; it's about how to dress within the office code and yet still be yourself – adding in that touch of personal creativity.
"Women’s business fashion is sort of like jazz – first learn the rules, then break them creatively." This statement from CareerFashionBlog sums up the philosophy behind the site.
Career Fashion Blog
Mostly written by Ms. Magnusson, this blog provides the reader with many potential wardrobe ideas, even walking the reader through how to create a great wardrobe through mix and match of a few essentials. More importantly though, photos are provided for all blog posts, which allows the reader to accurately see what the creation looks like. Even better is that most photos are on headless mannequins or display racks. This is a great feature, which allows you to visualize yourself in the outfit, rather than be distracted by the whole mannequin personality.
There are also guest writers, with the same great detail to final outfits. Unfortunately, real models are used, which takes away from some of the uniqueness of being able to imagine yourself in that outfit.
Divided Into Categories
The blogs are filed into categories for easy future finding. Care and maintenance of your wardrobe; how to shop; accessories; what to do and what not to do; these are just a few of the many categories you'll find at the site. Of course, many categories only have one or two entries at the moment
The writing is simple and basic, designed to showcase the clothes and choices. Some blogs are just quick notes; others are longer with detailed outfits.
There are recommendations as well for certain retail stores; note that these stores are all high quality names and therefore of a higher budget nature. However, the blogs never recommend one store, just how to dress in general. This is helpful to those on a strict monetary budget, as the information can be applied to any store or group of clothes. Price is never mentioned in the blogs, so you are free to apply the advice to any budget or store.
Bottom Line
CareerFashionBlog has great pictures and sound advice, without shoving any particular store or brand down your throat as a marketing ploy. Divided into categories, it's easy to find previous blogs that you might be interested in reading. Being sponsored by BasicBlouse makes perfect sense, and the two sites together provide a perfect fit.
