Alright, so today I’m diving into this “office siren” trend that’s been all over TikTok and Pinterest lately. I got curious, you know, seeing all these posts, and I was like, “Let’s give this a shot.” So, here’s how it went down.
Getting Started
First off, I gathered some inspiration. I scrolled through a bunch of videos and pins, just to get a feel for the vibe. It’s kinda like that old-school, 90s office look but with a modern, sexy twist. Think tight outfits, glasses, and that “I mean business” attitude.
Putting the Look Together
Next, I raided my closet. I found this tight black pencil skirt that I haven’t worn in ages and paired it with a fitted gray button-down shirt. The shirt was a bit loose, so I tied it at the waist to give it that snug, form-fitting look. I even dug out an old pair of thin-framed glasses that I used to wear before switching to contacts. I think those glasses are a key part of this whole aesthetic.
- Skirt: Tight, black pencil skirt. Check.
- Shirt: Fitted gray button-down, tied at the waist. Got it.
- Glasses: Thin-framed, kinda nerdy but chic. On it.
Hair and Makeup
For my hair, I went with a sleek, pulled-back look. I used a bunch of gel to slick my hair back into a tight, low ponytail. It was a bit of a struggle because my hair’s naturally wavy, but I managed to tame it. Makeup-wise, I kept it pretty simple but bold. I did a sharp winged eyeliner, some contouring to define my cheekbones, and a bold red lip. That red lipstick really pulled the whole look together, made it pop.
Setting the Scene
I wanted to take some pictures to see how the whole look came out, so I set up a makeshift “office” in my living room. I moved my desk lamp over, stacked some books to look like I was in the middle of some serious work, and even printed out a few “reports” to scatter around. It was kinda fun, pretending to be this powerful office siren character.
The Photoshoot
Then came the fun part – taking the photos. I used my phone’s self-timer and took a bunch of shots in different poses. I tried to channel that confident, slightly intimidating vibe that the office siren trend is all about. It was a bit awkward at first, posing and trying to look all serious, but I started to get into it after a while. I even added a bit of a smirk in some photos, just to give it that extra edge.
Final Touches
After I got some good shots, I did a little editing. Nothing crazy, just adjusted the lighting and added a filter to give it that slightly vintage feel. I wanted the photos to have that grainy, almost nostalgic look that’s part of the trend. I think they turned out pretty well.
Reflecting on the Experience
All in all, it was a fun little experiment. It was cool to step out of my usual style and try something different. Plus, it gave me an excuse to play dress-up, which is always a good time. Would I wear this look out regularly? Probably not. But it was definitely an interesting experience trying to embody that office siren persona. And hey, who knows, maybe I’ll bring back the glasses for a day or two. It’s always good to switch things up, right?
And yeah, that’s about it. I had some fun with it, it was kinda silly, but a good way to spend an afternoon. Maybe you guys can try it out too, see what you come up with!
