Pupae: the trials of transformation

As a kid (okay.. as a younger self, if you will), I was fairly disastrous.. in quite a few ways, one of which was fashion-wise. Like when I used quite brazenly wear this pair of broken specs out on my neighbourhood Safeway grocery runs. Yes, and this was just last year when I was 22.

Since then, I've decided that, well, I have to grow up, and to finally make a real effort to look pulled together, like a proper adult.

But how can you look elegant, when at the end of a working day at mignight, you're holding a presentation markup in your left hand, coat and scarf hung over your left arm, your rucksack is slung over your right shoulder because you went to the gym today, your regular working bag is clutched in your right hand, and you're wearing red sneakers (yes, with a work suit) because frankly, your feet just hurt too much from the heels otherwise, and you walk to work most days.

So tell me how I can achieve the look of unruffled elegance and sophistication when I'm a second year analyst who's just trying to keep her head above water, and I will bow down to your unrivalled genius.
