Erin has a clear vision of what her style is. “I usually stick to black and white, mostly pencil skirts and palazzo pants,” she says.

“Work only gets tougher — there will never be an easy day, so this is why passion is so important," Daphne says.

Describing her style as corporate but spunky, Floremae adjusts her look according to her schedule at work and her plans after hours.

It seems like Andrea is still exploring and forging her own path forward; the one thing she keeps in mind? “Never compromise on your values.”

"It's important to retain a healthy sense of your own mortality before you give your life to a profession," Nathalie says. "Make sure it’s something you love.”

We caught Claudia on one of her off days, so she was clearly revelling in her freedom to dress in her favourite basics. “I just started work at a bank, so comfy slacks, tees, and sneakers are sadly a no-no,” she says.

As she works from home, Dominique finds no problem with the dress code at work, but feels that when the time comes she would rather dress for comfort.

The last time we saw Michelle, she was decked in a striking floral jacket, all ready to herald in the start of a new year. Her style of late has been a bit less feminine, though.

A fan of DIY, Christine enjoys making things from scratch or making little changes to her old clothes, and often looks for tutorials online.

It’s not often that we see a lady wearing a vest and pants to work, so Fei Fei definitely stood out in the crowd.

Dahlia works in advertising, and this allows her to dress pretty casually for work unless she has client meetings to attend.

“Strictly prioritise and allocate your days. You'll be able to slot in your different appointments easily once you have a basic schedule,” Elaine says. “Also, in the midst of the chaos, allocate personal time for yourself.”
