The editorial you are about to witness is all about BUSINESS! Women are starting companies, being BOSSES and they need the clothes to match their entrepreneurial essence. One magazine piece that we thought recently captured and captivated this success driven aspect of fashion well; is the Ruth Akele for Vogue Arabia June 2020 edition!

Power suits, blouses, bold tones and ….shorts?? Yep… all find their way into this couture mix of excellence. Vogue Arabia had a short blurb on their issue which gives a new spin on office style. Vogue says,

“Let our June 2020 issue inspire you to step into a brave new world of suiting by experimenting with avant-garde cutting techniques in a high octane color palette. To see more looks, make sure to pick up your copy of our latest edition.”

As the mag mentions, one thing that we love is the fresh infusion of color. That is not normally something one would probably think of for office attire. Usually, the typical uniform includes neutral colors with an emphasis on blue, gray, black or a beige.

This editorial invites fashion lovers to expand their horizons a bit (our favorite look is the green Balenciaga suit). To be a little more fearless with their wardrobe and really experiment. Fashion is all about self expression and its a real shame that in the work force we have had to put limits and restraints on personal style. Kudos to Vogue and the stunning Ruth Akele on these visuals!

Thank you Office GAWDS (Lol)! If you thought Causal Friday was cool, just wait till you get a load of this. Office Slippers… yes, a first-of-its-kind shoe design bringing the comfort of home to your feet and corporate desk. Welcome to a new era.

Office Slippers -The 1st Slippers Worn That Can Be Worn to the Office

Office Slippers, an innovative start-up company, has created the first ever slipper made especially for the office. The company has designed slippers that look like every day dress shoes, allowing individuals to wear them at work. Office Slippers provides maximum comfort throughout the workday, but never look out of place at the office.

“Nowadays, entering the workforce typically means conforming to other employees and being uncomfortable while doing your job,” Mike McLaughlin, Office Slippers founder, said. “If you’re going to conform, at least you can be comfortable now. Office Slippers allows people the best of both worlds.”

Not all heroes wear capes, but McLaughlin might as well be wearing one for this awesome invention! McLaughlin will be launching a Kickstarter campaign on Tuesday, March 12th to raise funds for Office Slippers. The campaign seeks to raise $20,000 for the initial production; manufacturing, and distribution of their debut model, the Ashland.

This suede model is based on a Chelsea Boot and comes in three colors: black, navy, and brown. The slipper components include a memory foam sole; dense plush inner lining, and a nonskid rubber outer sole.

The Kickstarter campaign will run until Thursday, April 11th. Backers can fund the project with any amount of money they’d like; but a pair of Office Slippers begins at the $55 mark with exclusive early pricing. In addition, McLaughlin will speak with certain backers to get their feedback on the company.

“We know that it’s a great idea, but this is the big moment. If we’re funded, we’re excited to see the ways in which we can transform offices. If not, at least we learned some good lessons along the way,” McLaughlin said. “We hope to attract as many people as possible. We’ve got some really exciting incentives lined up for early backers, including grabbing these at a discount.”

Once launched, the campaign will be found via McLaughlin’s Kickstarter page at https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/officeslippers
