Looking business casual does not have to equal stuffy and boring. Spice up your wardrobe and impress everyone in your office by implementing these simple elements into your everyday work wear and get your hustle on while looking like a boss.

1. Silk scarf

A scarf to wrap around your neck or throw in your hair is the perfect touch to class-up and add a stylish element to your outfit. There are so many fun colors and prints, so don't be afraid to mix and match it with any outfit!

2. Don't be afraid of color

Believe it or not, black isn't always the only way you can look chic. In fact, playing with different tones and colors is the new black. Whether it's a pop of color, printed shoes or rocking the multi-tone look, give it a shot.

3. Mix and match prints and colors

Being matchy-matchy is a thing of the past. Try mixing prints and patterns. Ironically enough, being daring enough to pull off the mixed prints look will make you look like you have it all together.

Besides, a big plus of jumping on this style bandwagon is that you can save so much time not having to worry about making everything patch perfect. Just throw on different things and see what works together and what works for you.

4. Monochromatic/ one-tone

If the mix-and-match thing isn't for you, go opposite. Do a matching set or monochromatic look. This look is so chic and stylish that you will be sure to turn heads and be the ultimate girl boss at your office.

5.Do the skirt

It's summer, it's hot, and what's more airy and cool than a skirt? Don't discount this fabulous item. Even if skirts aren't normally your thing, there are so many options that you are bound to find one that works for you, including A-line, tulle, layered, pencil, midi, floor length, etc.

A fun skirt is better than dress pants any day, so show off the girly figure, sister. Plus, the ventilation on a hot day is phenomenal. You'll thank me later.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
