This was very interesting blog post, love it.
VastaaPoistaIt’s great that you combined both dresscode and jewelry, so you get tips for both. :)
Thanks :) Many forget that jewelry actually gives the final touch in your outfit so I thought to write about it. Even if you dress for office, you can still add minimalist jewelry.
