tengo una tarea, rh+, que te encantaría hacer conmigo.
en este mundo de apariencias, donde "la imagen es todo; la sed, nada", en una profesión en la que lo visual tiene tanta importancia, y con el prejuicio de que los diseñadores son además, "producidos", el item tenida de trabajo, ad portas de mi temporada de prueba como "empleada" en una oficina de diseño de clientes más bien solventes, adquiere un peso que en mi vida no me había tocado ni había querido asumir...
claramente tendré que dejar de lado mi eeehh... llamémoslo "no-estilo", la cero producción, la onda natural y la comodidad de las zapatillas, para no "dañar" la imagen de la oficina que representaré en reuniones con gerentes y sabe dios qué más!
la idea es no traicionarme a mí misma. parecer ejecutiva de zara me da monos. invertir en ropa que quizás no vuelva a usar después de estos 4 meses va contra mis principios. parece que la opción es darme algunos buenos gustos por ahí, no?
antes de mis vacaciones hice mi primera adquisición: invertí en un par de zapatos de verano que me flecharon en cuanto los vi en un catálogo de multitienda. sí, rh+, yo!!! muy cool y aptos para reuniones ejecutivas. pero para salir de noche también!
te iré contando los avances de este proyecto, que me niego a bautizar como fashion emergency. es más bien como una fiesta de disfraces donde la idea, aparte de integrarse a la "fiesta", es verse siempre bien, no?

Tim Gunn's 10 Essential Elements
Must-Have Basic Wardrobe Pieces for Any Woman
On Bravo's TV show Tim Gunn's Guide to Style, the star outlines a shopping list for clothing that make a good foundation for any woman's wardrobe.
The Ten Essential Wardrobe Elements as devised by Tim Gunn are practical pieces around which you can build your wardrobe. Tim Gunn is the star of a reality makeover television show on Bravo called Tim Gunn's Guide to Style. He became well known from Bravo's hit TV show Project Runway, where he counseled contestants on their stylish creations.
The Ten Elements are mostly classic pieces, but what's important is whether they fit you properly, are not outdated, and bring out your best features. The following is the shopping list of Tim Gunn's 10 essential items, with helpful hints from this article's author. If you would like more advice from Tim Gunn, read his book A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style or watch his show on the Bravo channel on Thursday nights.
Basic Black Dress - The basic black dress has been around for a long time. It is often called the "Little Black Dress", and it's true that shorter skirts on the basic black dress, when they hit you in the right place, can be more flattering than a long black dress.
Trench Coat - The trench coat is one of the pieces that is both classic and currently a hot fashion item. Most any store sells this piece now. It is great for fall and you can pick it up in a wide range of lengths.
Classic Dress Pants - Although it doesn't say black, this is probably what you want to look for. Black is flattering on all figures and goes with everything.
White Shirt - The white shirt is a definite classic. But it can also come in many different styles to make it look trendy and not dated or like a man's piece of clothing. Find one that accentuates your best attributes and minimizes trouble spots. For example, if you have wide shoulders, stay away from large collars.
Jeans - Everyone has a pair of jeans, but does everyone have a pair of jeans that make them look great? The wider leg, low-rise jean style has been popular (and still is) but a narrower leg is coming back along with a higher waist, which eliminates the unflattering "muffin top" look.
Cashmere Sweater - This is one item probably not many people own. But including it forces people to buy a piece of clothing that is high quality and that is also a luxury item. Having a cashmere sweater in your closet is like giving a gift to yourself. And aren't you worth it?
Skirt - If you need dress pants then you also need a skirt. A skirt is womanly and can be flirty or businesslike. Nowadays women do not wear many skirts or dresses, which makes a lot of them fall into a rut of dressing sloppily or like men. See number 8.
Day Dress - Women also are not wearing as many dresses anymore. It was certainly liberating to go from the '50s when women wore dresses every day to wearing more practical pants for gardening, exercising, and so forth. But the dress does not have to be abandoned altogether. They can be very flattering, and there is nothing wrong with "dressing up" for daytime.
Blazer - The blazer sounds very masculine, but when you get the right one with a proper shape it is not. Women's blazers should follow the silhouette of a woman's body and accent the hourglass curve at her waist. It is also a perfect piece to put with the skirt or dress pants, and white shirt. Or make it casual with a pair of jeans.
Sweat Suit Alternative - As mentioned before, women wear fewer skirts and dresses these days. But some women have taken casual to the extreme and spend days on end in sweat suits. It is possible to be casual and comfortable without looking like a slob. Find a comfortable material (that's why this doesn't say jeans again – denim is not as comfortable as a nice soft cotton) that you would want to wear every day. It could be khakis, cords, a cotton dress, or much more.
Now comes the fun part. Go shopping! Use this list as a basic guide to forming your wardrobe. When you want to have fun with new styles and colors, try it in your accessories: purses, shoes, and jewelry.
