Sometimes I can stare at my closet for a quarter of an hour in the morning, while I got up incredibly late, still need to shower and do my makeup, and throw together a breakfast. Ter-ri-ble. But luckily I have already thought of my office look for Monday, with the help of my friend's closet.

In principle, you can show up here at Amayzine with golden lipstick and purple eyelashes without getting too many weird looks. But for a casual office face, you shouldn't go too crazy. That's why I only use the BB Cream from Garnier, which gives me an instant tan. Because with fluorescent light, you can quickly look shiny, I use the Light Reflecting powder from Nars. It not only works anti-shiny but also blurs imperfections and fine lines. I only use mascara and a lip balm from Clinique because all that hard work suddenly turns my lips into a dried-up Sahara.

I find a tight ponytail super feminine, but also business-like at the same time. But how do you get such a nice curl in your ponytail? Make sure to create a small ponytail the night before and wrap your hair in circles around the ponytail. If you let this loose in the morning, you only need to brush your hair with a good brush, the one from Mason Pearson is the best. Then take a strand from your ponytail, wrap it around your elastic, and secure it with a pin.

A blouse is always a safe choice when you go to the office. And as I said, my boyfriend (completely unknowingly) helped me. I actually grabbed a light pink shirt from Filippa K from his closet, nice and oversized. And wearing clothes that rsmell like your man is secretly very nice. I wear a ripped jeans from Citizens of Humanity, for the tough accent. And those shoes, yes dear people, I recently scored them with a 70% (!!!) discount at the Bijenkorf and they are from Sophia Webster. Unfortunately, now sold out everywhere, so an alternative are these printed pumps from Zara.

A decent office look with a touch of coolness.
