Hey curvy girls all over the world,
We are back with another installment of “At the office with.” We had the chance to catch up with Kellie B. The PR maven who represents some of the who’s who brands in the fashion industry. With over 10 years of experience, Kellie knows how to help a brand launch and stay in the game. Not only is she a PR expert but she is also a blogger. She shows off her chic eclectic style over at AndIGetDressed.com
I recently sat and had a chat with Kellie about her personal and work style while she was helping client Melissa Masse prep for a preview.
Checkout what Kellie had to say:
What are you wearing today?
Simply be jacket h&m tee Carmen Marc Valvo skirt
Since you work in PR and are self employed, how do you determine what’s professional attire for your job?
It really just depends on my day, when I’m running around on errands, visiting showrooms and having a more casual day I am more free in what I wear, when I have meetings I dress up. My “work” attire is really creative professional. Also because I work in fashion and entertainment it’s really just about being polished but not too stuffy.
How would you describe your personal style?
Eclectic. I like what I like and sometimes those things are totally unrelated. I’m not into really fussy pieces but I love attention to detail. I’d have to say whether I’m having a hyper feminine moment or feeling more tom-boyish, I’m really just about an easy, cool and on trend vibe. Let’s just be honest, I wear whatever the hell I want in any given moment.
What are your top 5 places to shop at?
ASOS Curve – because, well obvious
Simply Be
I love vintage/thrift shopping, though I haven’t been in ages
Shopbop.com
Net-a-porter.com
What are your professional do’s and don’ts for workwear?
Do dress appropriately for your work environment but let your personality and personal style shine through
Don’t get stuck in a rut and wear “black slacks and a top” everyday. What’s the fun in that?
What is your go to piece for transitioning from desk to dinner?
Not really sure this question really applies to my life in the conventional sense but I guess my advice to someone else would be just wear a great dress to the office punch up your makeup and swap out accessories if needed.
