    Business Casual

      Working in a high end showroom has its perks. You get to work with interesting clients, beautiful furniture, art and you get to dress up. The only downside is, what do you wear when you need to get down and dirty? Most days I’m either moving furniture or polishing a wood piece which is why I think a casual formal outfit is best. I would love to wear a three piece suit but no one has time for that when you have to move a couch.  Glasses – Tom Ford Blazer – Club Monaco Oxford Shirt – J.

So we were thrilled to have found Spartan Shop, an online store based out of Austin Texas. It’s a great source for some home goods and pottery. If you’re looking for a little originality in your decorating you should check them out. These are a few things we liked – Collection…
