With the countdown now firmly underway, I’m more excited than the pre-teen girls of New Zealand in the face of a New Direction concert.  Much like those same pre-teens, I am asking myself the big questions, but instead of “will Harry Styles f

all in love with me from the stage?”

it’s “what on earth will I wear?”.

The group shows kick off at 6.30 on Thursday and Friday evenings, with doors opening from 5.30.  Since I am not a lady of leisure (yet), I have work all day and will be jumping in a taxi and racing across town in my effort to get to shows.  This means that whatever I wear has to be work appropriate, but since it’s Fashion Dah-link, I think I’d be a fool to turn up in the corporate uniform of Lambton Quay.  It’s a chance to dress up!

Luckily for me, my workplace does not require suits and so I should be able to cook something up pretty easily.  And so, I turned to a Google image search of “street style” to see what inspiration would strike.  It wasn’t my best search ever, but it did throw up these pretties:

Digging the pink suit and the pastel contrast.  Probably would use the sleeves for keeping my arms warm though.

Can you really go wrong with a black dress and geometric shapes? I can’t show that much leg at work, but the concept is sound…

Killer coat and a pair of jeans (on Friday) – yes. Easy peasy but still smart.

Oooooh, pretty blouse! I also love a cuffed pant.

 Turns out I like pants quite a bit.  Luckily I own pants in various bright shades so mayhap I can slap on a business appropriate blouse and some canary yellow pants and call it

a day.  What do you guys reckon? Should I seize the day and go fashion mad? Or should I keep it somewhere in the middle ground and retain my long term career prospects?
