Let me introduce myself - I am a wife AND a mom who works full time. I miss bedtimes for business dinners and read stories via FaceTime; but I will cancel a morning meeting to fulfill breakfast requests for pancakes with mom. Like every mom, there is the guilt and the work life balance challenges but I can do all this AND still look pretty. I wear suits (HUGO BOSS please), I wear heels (Ted Baker
please), I travel (yes, almost weekly – I have a special love for my TUMI carry-on). I feel women should feel empowered and pretty doing all these things! In a nutshell I am a wannabe fashionista in a black suit world. You will not find playground appropriate attire here - my Uggs have heels and there are no rips in my jeans. Why my 9 to 5 shoes? When I travel (often weekly) and attend conferences I get to interact with people all day long. I love these days. I enjoy engaging with people. During these engagements I am often complimented on my outfit, shoes, coats, jewelry … (you get the idea). I love when others lift people up and I wanted to create a forum were woman could do that for each other EVERYDAY! I created my 9 to 5 shoes as a space to share style ideas and compliments among working women. This is my forum to share my style thoughts and ideas with other like-minded wannabe fashionistas dressing for corporate America – please join in the conversation AND the compliments!
