Stylish but Still Sharia

What does appearance mean in your job?
I think appearance is important. First, my job requires me to be the face of the company. So I have to look fascinating and presentable to attract clients to cooperate and have trust with our company. Secondly, for me personally, appearance affects my mood at work. If I dress casually, I will also do my job more relaxedly.
What is your favorite dressing style?
I prefer the simple style but again it depends on what I want to do and who I want to see. When I need to see a client from a bank, I will dress up formally. I usually wear pants but during Ramadan I want to look more religious, so I wear dress or skirt instead.
Who gives you appearance inspiration?
I actually prefer the dressing style of the artist Zaskia Adya Mecca since she is good in mixing and matching her wardrobe. Besides that, I also observe how to mix and match dress style on online boutique. Yet there are some styles that I avoid like wearing pants with the shirt tucked in or wearing clothes that show my curves.
What are your must-wear accessories?
I don’t have must-wear accessories but I like necklaces. If the model of the veil has already got lots of layers, I do not wear necklace anymore.
Do you have a special time to buy clothing and where is your favorite place to buy clothing?
I do not specify a time for clothes shopping, but I usually buy at least one piece of new clothing in a month. Now I prefer to shop for clothes on online shop because it is practical and easy.
Which words describe you?
Stylish but still sharia.
