We spend a lot of time in the office. It’s our second home, and our
co-workers are like family (If you’re lucky). Walking into the office
feeling fresh and good about yourself not only affects your
productivity and work day, but also your co-workers.
Here are 10 ways to feel sexy in the office and help your productivity
by just feeling good about yourself!
1. Have your toenail and nails done professionally
There is something about having your nails done that just makes girls
feel better about themselves.
2. Take your shoes off at your desk
After getting a pedicure there is nothing like showing off your sparkly toes!
Taking your shoes off at your desk not only rests your feet but also
makes you feel more at home at your desk and comfortable
3. Wear peep toe heels
Let’s take the pedicure just as little further. Wearing peep toe heels
at the office makes you look serious, fashionable and also shows off
your latest pedicure. People take you more seriously in heels at the
workplace.
4. Wear sparkly stud earrings
Wearing huge earrings at work can be overbearing, but wearing smaller
studs that are extremely sparkly are attractive. It shows that you are
not trying to make a huge statement at the office, but it compliments
your face and fashion sense. It also makes you look put together as
opposed to just putting some earrings in.
5. Freshen up your makeup at noon
Your early morning makeup job has maybe worn off a little bit since 7
am. Keep a small makeup bag in your purse and freshen up your makeup
during your lunch break. You’ll feel better about yourself and
confident for the rest of your work day.
6. Drink from a tea cup
if you’re a big tea princess, or more of a coffee queen you’ll enjoy
this idea. Sipping your morning or mid afternoon beverage from an
office coffee mug can get dull. Feel more like a lady and enjoy your
warm drinks even more by, sipping from a tea cup! You can get plenty
of great deals on Amazon and have it shipped to your office for free.
7. Get enough rest
Nothing screams sexy like a full 8 hours of sleep. Walking into work
exhausted, droopy eyed and frazzled is the last thing from sexy. Not
only will a full rem cycle help your appearance but you’ll be sharper
at work and get things done a lot faster.
That’s what I call the Wonder Woman Nerd!
8. Don’t eat crap
Eat healthy snacks at your desk, like fruit, and nuts. Keeping a
healthy trail mix, almonds or a small fruit basket beside you will
help keep your blood sugar up and also keep you mentally alert.
9. Who said you can only get flowers from guys
On your way to work one morning grab some flowers from your local
florist or one of the venues on the street. Having flowers at your
desk brightens your day and brings the outside to you at your desk.
Taking a break from staring at your monitor for a minute or two helps
you to take breaks from your screen. Also, flowers smell amazing and
can really freshen up your work space.
10. Wear lace anywhere
Nothing screams feminine like lace does. Lace can be classy, sexy,
edgy or sweet. Weather its something lacy no one else can see, or a
lacy top. You’ll feel pretty all day and adds that extra little touch
that maybe only you know about.
What are things that you do, to help make your day go well and feel
great in the office?
This posts totally just made me want an office job even more now. At work, I’m rarely EVER at a desk! booooooo
Chanel, what do you do if you don’t mind me asking?
Also, do not worry, desk jobs are not all that awesome, thats why I had to make this list to make it fun!
Haha oh my gosh. Someone needs to take a chill pill. Don’t people know they don’t HAVE to read a blog if they don’t like it??
Glad I finally got around to visiting/subscribing to your blog! I follow you on Instagram and I love this space! I love your list. I do all of those things. And it makes me flirty after work (which my husband loves). :)
Allie! Thanks so much for your kind comment. I am so glad you subscribed to my blog, it means a lot. :) Are you on Twitter? We should be friends there too!
Man, somebody knows how to twist words. Geez.

Good post, loved it!
There is nothing like a girly girl who is smart and accomplished. Feminism should not be the rejection of what makes women different. And us men have evolved to the point where we see “well put together” women we work with as professionals first.
I personally liked the post and thought you shared some fun tips. It’s titled “10 ways to feel good at the office” not “10 ways to be sexy” or whatever. Geeze.
I vote we get pedicures on Saturday. I could use some sparkle in my life {and so could a lot of other people, obviously}.
<3
As a feminist, I’m kind of offended by most of these. Women shouldn’t have to wear heels at work to be taken more seriously, nor should they feel obligated to look sexy at work. This is not the point of your job, you’re hired to do a task (hopefully something that you enjoy doing, as we are lucky enough to have) and your job is to do it and to do it well. This should have nothing to do with how you look, what you wear, and how “attractive” or “sexy” you appear. Absolutely nothing.
A woman should get a mani/pedi because she wants to, not because she feels obligated to so she can look more “put together” for work. Same thing with her choice of earrings, shoes, and everything else. It’s the woman’s choice, an expression of who she is, in how she wants to present herself. (There are exceptions to this, of course, in workplaces that have dress codes.)
Likewise, you should get a full 8 hours of sleep because you want to perform your job at your best, not because you’re worried about droopy eyes not looking sexy. Seriously.
It’s one thing to say these things can help you feel confident and at your best, that’s totally fine. They can, absolutely, do that. However it’s absolutely another thing to say the point of doing these things is to look sexy at work. That’s just ridiculous. Either way I’d still argue that your points are too specific to what would make you happier, which is fine if the post was titled “What I do to feel good at work.” But, for example, I personally love wearing big earrings and to tell me that I shouldn’t because it’s “overbearing” doesn’t make me feel good about my choice. And I assume that’s not your goal, right?
