Honestly, I am not a big fan of suits, especially grey ones. In fact, a few years ago as I walked to work in the wee hours of a gloomy autumn morning, and all i could see was grey suits amidst grey streets and gloomy faces, I decided to give my suits a much needed vacation (the extended type). Of course since then I have spotted some gorgeous suits that i would love to own...

I try to not overdo it at work but I try to add colour and a touch of the unexpected...whenever i feel like it, which is most of the time :)

Sherry Cooper, BMO's ex-chief  economist who has now retired, had been very successful in her career yet she never gave up her personal style to fit into a box ("I was told to wear black, brown or navy, and here I am in leopard" - priceless. Read more here.)

Happy Work Week!
