Introducing our latest column to the Starworks Group Blog – One Starworker, Five Looks – where we feature our colleagues and their great personal style. First up is Sydney Oh, our wonderwoman PR Assistant in the NY office…she can normally be found flying around the office but always manages to look effortlessly chic. Sydney is not only inspired by style icons, Mary-Kate Olsen, Kate Bosworth and Erin Wasson, but also a day with perfect weather.
Disclaimer: We love Vogue.com’s column so much that we decided to do our own version! Kudos to them for the brilliant idea!
Monday
1. What are you wearing?
All Saints tux jumpsuit
Style Nanda earrings and sandals
Gifted beaded necklace worn as a bracelet
Thin neon bracelets from Madewell
Silver rings were bought off the street in Soho and in Athens, GA.
Pearl ring was a VDay gift from my boyfriend
Susan Farber Cross Body Bag
2. Any special stories related to anything you have on today?
My friend from college would make these fantastic beaded necklaces, and I loved hers so much, she made me one! We would only wear these as bracelets though.
3. How does this outfit work for your work day?
Aside from the obvious, I have to move around a lot at work since the samples are downstairs. It helps that the jumpsuit is super comfortable!
4. What is your favorite thing about this outfit?
The tux jumpsuit is an easy day-to-night piece. Throw on a denim jacket or a sweatshirt, and it’d instantly be casual. It was also a great bargain as my co-worker, Melissa, found it at the All Saints sample sale.
5. Jumpsuits can be tough and scary to pull off. What’s your advice?
I’d say a girl always feels confident in heels! Pair them with shoes with height.
1. What are you wearing?
Uniqlo button down
Turquoise Trousers from ASOS WHITE collection
Jeffrey Campbell leopard pony hair wedges
ASOS Collar tips and belt
Vintage bracelets
2. Any special stories related to anything you have on today?
My mom gave me the jade bracelet when I was in maybe the 3rd grade. Her personal collection is the best, and I love how some of my jewelry from her are older than me!
3. What is your favorite thing about this outfit?
I’m obsessed with collar tips. On top of my menswear phase, I realized I’m subconsciously influenced by cowboys and the desert, which also explains my current likings for cacti and succulents.
4. How does this outfit work for your work day?
I appreciate working in fashion since “business chic” can translate to anything really…I can wear bright colors, prints, and fur while still looking polished.
1. What are you wearing?
Alternative tee
Nobody boyfriend shorts
Style Nanda sandals
ASOS Premium bag
Swarovski bracelet
2. Any special stories related to anything you have on today?
Really supporting our clients with this outfit.
3. What is your favorite thing about this outfit?
The cotton candy colors!
4. How does this outfit work for your work day?
It’s more laid back and not as high stressed, plus it’s a million degrees outside so I’d prefer not to melt with a super comfortable tee and a pair of loose shorts.
1. What are you wearing?
ASOS shirt
Style Nanda Leggings and Sandals
LowLuv ring
Gifted white gold bracelet
2. Any special stories related to anything you have on today?
I resort to online shopping on late nights when I need some therapy…ASOS and Style Nanda are my favorite e-commerce go-to’s. My coworker gave me the ring. I used to wear it every day for probably 8 months straight, so thanks Sara! My mom’s best friend gifted me the bracelet when I was a teen.
3. What is your favorite thing about this outfit?
The lace-up leggings. I like how I feel very “Sally” from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
4. How does this outfit work for your work day?
Works well for not trying, I think! A tee and leggings but edgy enough for it not to look like pjs.
Friday
1. What are you wearing?
Alternative tank
Bluette shorts from LF Soho
One Language tote
Roxy denim jacket
Jeffrey Campbell wedges
Topshop hat
Vintage gold bracelets
Vintage gold/onyx ring
Neon bangles from Madewell
2. Any special stories related to anything you have on today?
The gold onyx ring I’m wearing was passed down from my aunt to my mom to me – actually, I took it and one day they both noticed it on my finger and told me the story. This was my aunt’s first purchase after she immigrated to the US, and once she got married, she let my mom have it. They wore it in their twenties and on their ring fingers while they were single. It’s funny how I’m coincidentally repeating the cycle and wearing a ring that’s older than I am, on the same finger.
P.S. My friend surprised me one day with one of her One Language totes! It was a part of her 2nd collection and before it hit retailers so I was super grateful!! I take it on every trip as it’s perfect for the plane.
3. What is your favorite thing about this outfit?
The shorts and shoes. I love a pair of high-waisted shorts with a great print. Both are staple pieces I’ve worn since last summer.
4. How does this outfit work for your work day especially on a Friday?
I love Summer Fridays!! Although it’s my turn to work the full day, it helps me feel casual and summery.
