This week I'm excited to be starting a contract at my old stomping ground, the Green Building Council of Australia, following my departure nearly two years ago.
Since I haven't been working in a corporate environment since then, I found I needed to enhance my office-appropriate wardrobe. A fabulous opportunity to celebrate 2014 as the Year of Sustainable Fashion if you ask me!
Here are a few new pieces destined to become staples in my 9-to-5 gig.
You may have noticed that not all items are made from sustainable materials. I definitely find office-wear one of the hardest styles to buy sustainably (not to mention secondhand). At least I can rest easy knowing I bulked up my office wardrobe with ethically-made quality items that should last for years.
How do you build your sustainable work wardrobe?
If you're back at work this week as well, I hope your first couple of days haven't been too painful!

PS - I typically don't advocate buying so many new clothing items in such a short period of time. I'm claiming extreme circumstances given my past couple years of travel and moving, which meant much culling of the wardrobe.
