I Think These Work Accessories Are Essential

I like to look my best whenever I can, and especially when I'm at work. When I'm getting dressed for work, there are some essential accessories that I think any woman needs. If you want to be a high flyer in business, you have to look the part and have all the necessary things to do your job. Smart accessories such as heels and a bag are important, but you also need useful tools like a watch and a day planner. Here's a list of my recommended accessories if you want to feel in charge at work.

Comfortable Heels

Wearing heels can help you look the part when you're at work, but they're not always fun to wear. They might look incredible, but that's no use if you're on your feet all day. Even if you don't have to spend a lot of time standing up, it helps to have shoes that don't hurt your feet. When you choose your shoes, make sure they fit well.

Flat Shoes

If you spend a lot of time on your feet, don't wear heels all the time. You will very quickly get sore feet, and you won't be able to move very fast in them. Instead of wearing towering high heels, buy some smart flats or something with a low heel. You can combine them with taller shoes, so you wear your flats on your journey to work or when you have to walk around.

A Watch

I think a watch is still an essential thing to wear to work. It doesn't need to be fancy, though. It should be stylish, but not too formal or too casual. I like the idea of wearing a Shinola watch because they're smart, but they're not a big-name designer. Watches look great, and they're useful too, to help you stay punctual.

Fitness Tracker

Trying to keep fit is difficult when you work, but it's not impossible. I like to keep track of how many steps I walk during the day, so I feel like I'm exercising. A fitness tracker or a smartwatch is perfect for doing this. You can also use it if you go to the gym or for a run on your lunch break or after work.

Professional Bag

A bag is essential to store all your stuff, but you need a professional one for work. Even though it's useful to have a big bag you can throw lots of thing into, it's better to have a neat, smart one. Keep your bag as small as you can to put your essential inside, so you can carry it wherever you need to take it.

Day Planner

Even though we have lots of new technology, an old-fashioned day planner is still useful. You can carry it with you and make notes whenever you need to. You can carry a tablet with you too, but a small day planner is often easier and lighter.
