Okay, so I got sucked into this whole “office siren” thing online and wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I mean, who doesn’t want to look like a mysterious, powerful character, right?
First, I had to figure out what this look was even about. After checking out some videos and posts, I gathered that it’s a lot of neutral colors – blacks, grays, browns – you know, the usual office stuff. But then you throw in some red to spice things up, which is kind of cool, I guess.
Next, I dug into my closet. I pulled out a gray pencil skirt I haven’t worn in ages, a black tight turtleneck, and a pair of those button-up shirts that make you look all professional. I even found a pair of those slim-fit pants that I thought I had donated. It was kind of fun putting it all together, to be honest.
Then came the makeup. I watched a few tutorials, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a mess. I’m not the best at makeup, but I tried to do the whole smoky eye thing and put on some red lipstick. I think I poked myself in the eye with the eyeliner pencil at least twice, but hey, it was an experience.
- The Clothes:
-
- Grabbed a gray pencil skirt
- Found a black tight turtleneck
- Dug out some slim-fit pants
- The Makeup:
-
- Attempted a smoky eye (with some difficulty)
- Slapped on some red lipstick
Finally, I put it all on and looked in the mirror. It was…different. I mean, I looked kind of sharp, but also a bit like I was trying too hard. I don’t know, maybe it’s just not my style. I definitely felt a bit out of place, like I was playing dress-up or something.
But I wore it out anyway, just to see what would happen. I went to the grocery store, ran some errands, the usual stuff. I did get a few looks, but I don’t know if it was because I looked like an “office siren” or just because I looked kind of awkward. It could have gone either way, really.
So, yeah, that was my little experiment with the “office siren” trend. It was fun to try something new, but I don’t think I’ll be making it my everyday look. Maybe if I have a job interview or something, but even then, I might tone it down a bit. It’s just a bit much for me, you know? Still, it was a fun little adventure, and hey, at least I got a few good laughs out of it.
