Stand Out to Fit In...

{Fitting In}

One difficult lesson I’ve had to encounter is to pay attention to the energy I give off.

Being positive can produce a light, which radiates letting others know you are kind and approachable.

When one is negative, it turns people off.

I want to be kind, grateful and humble, even when it’s uncomfortable for me. 

{Standing Out}

However, I want to continue to carry myself with an excellence that is notable.

I admired this trait in others when I was first entering the world of work and establishing my identity and I don’t want that to change.

I’m realizing one should NEVER dull out what they do well because it gives others something to aspire to. It causes others to become inspired to tap into strengths within themselves. …Even perhaps their dreams.

I wasn’t going to wear this outfit to work today. Even though the dress code is dressy casual, people tend to lean on the more casual side. I thought it would be too much.

But I asked myself, “where else would I wear this?” and “how can I make this look fit in at work?” I opted for flats instead of heels and really simple accessories.

It gets cold in the building so I added this denim moto as an add-on to dress the look down even more.

My assessment of this look is I that some heels or strappy sandals would have done it more justice.

But in true Tammie form, I did add a pop of color with my vibrant pink bag!

I compromised today not to seem too boastful with my dress. But I might have to find another way to convey I’m part of the team. I realized I love to dress. That won’t change anytime soon, and really I want to be happy with the clothes I wear.
