It is important to portray a sophisticated, responsible, and driven professional.

We all have those days where we would rather fight our boss on allowing sweatpants than remain as an employee. It’s all about being comfortable in your own skin…just don’t forget the clothes too. These Buzzfeed comments are quirky, modern ways in which we can take advice on clothing.
