Red is power
December 3, 2017
Red is power,
dynamic.
The taste of red is spicy sweet, hot,
little valentine hearts.
The sound of red is loud,
a blast, a blow, lasting.
The feel of red is hot,
prickly, difficult to touch.
Exciting.
Red is control,
experience,
fun,
smart, self-centred, selfish, desired.
Potentially evil.
Powerful.
Pink is pastel red
November 26, 2017
Pink is pastel red,
divergent.
The taste of pink is cotton candy
sweet.
Dissolves in your mouth,
rots your teeth.
The sound of pink is giggles,
carnival games.
The feel of pink is soft
thin ribbon.
Pink is innocence,
kind and sweet.
Substance of a dream.
Short attention span.
Young.

Staring out the window
August 9, 2017
Feeling oppressed by the confines of your office on a beautiful day? The solution is simply to stare out the window longingly, dreaming of the weekend, which will come and go too soon, without having been fully enjoyed, as you were still stressed out about that big project that’s due on Monday. All of this longing and regret is best done in a floral pattern, as it will further emphasize how far away from nature you are, in your office on the 23rd floor. Unless of course your office is in the basement, or in a cubicle somewhere, and you don’t even have a window to stare out of, in which case, maybe an animal print will serve you best, to remind you that truly, you are caged, and will never again be free.
Riding the Elevator
August 2, 2017
A good way to avoid going back to your desk after the unbridled freedom of a long lunch hour is to repeatedly ride the elevator up and down, silently evaluating the decisions that brought you to this point in life. Do so in style with a printed, peter pan collared top, and sleek black trousers. A pop of hot pink in the form of a kicky heel will remind you that you are capable of making good decisions sometimes.
Graphic Design
July 26, 2017
Wear all the patterns! Rocking an outfit involving joy and whimsy is the only way to combat the soul crushing ennui of designing the horrors demanded by your artistically bereft clients.
Taking Minutes
July 19, 2017
When attending meetings you don’t really belong in, and are only there to take note of the important things important people say, it’s a good idea to wear the classically villainous colour combination of purple and green. This will subconsciously remind those important people not to fuck with you. Keep the colours muted though, so you can blend into the background, going unnoticed, thus providing the opportunity for those important people to shoot themselves in the foot by saying scandalous things they wouldn’t normally admit to in front of an outsider. LOL, just kidding, important people don’t, and never will, give a shit about you, and won’t notice a plebeian such as yourself even if you wear a neon sign announcing your intentions to bring their scandalous admissions to the press. Important people are untouchable, and you’re just a big ol’ nothing in a smart vest and cute shoes.
Data Entry
July 12, 2017
When doing data entry in an office whose air conditioning is perpetually set to “old man” level (which stands to reason since middle-aged men are the default and anyone not fitting that standard deserves to be “othered”) a jaunty scarf worn ’round your shoulders can help to fight off the inevitable frostbite that threatens your fast flying fingers. A black, yet stretchy, pencil skirt and sweater will keep you office-appropriate while whimsically patterned tights will allow you to pretend you’re expressing yourself, and not fully succumbing to the all-encompassing pressure to leave your significant potential untapped.
Digital Drawing
July 5, 2017
When getting ready to do some digital drawing the most important elements of your outfit will be a constricting turtleneck (for reigning in your most creative ideas) and t-strap heels (for helping you to buckle down to the task at hand). A high waisted plaid skirt (which forces you to suck in your gut) and a statement necklace (that weighs heavily both literally and figuratively) complete this look which leads to maximum efficiency.
Just kidding. Obviously the only thing you can wear when doing drawings of any kind are pyjamas.
