How to Professionally Express Yourself at Work

Being yourself at work can come easy for some but can be a challenge for most. The problem often lies in striking a balance between professional and fun. You don't want your coworkers to think you are dull outside of work, but at the same time, you want them to treat you like the boss babe that you are.

Striking that balance is easy with the right work essentials. Here are a few of the many items you can pick up to show the office who you really are and (professionally) stand out from the crowd. 


Coffee First, Then Work

Getting through the morning is practically impossible without at least one (or two, or three) cups of liquid happiness: coffee. That magical bean juice is good for the soul, and if you’re like most, the day doesn’t officially start until after the first cup.

Don't limit yourself to the boring mugs available in the break room. Instead, let all of your coworkers know how fun you are with inspirational or funny coffee mugs. Seek out one (or two!) that fit your unique and shining personality. So, whether you’re a “Is it Friday?” kind of person or a “Ready, Set, Go!” motivator, express yourself with every sip. 


A Note From You

Everyone knows that you haven’t really made it until you have a stationery set. Even if you aren’t one for writing people notes by hand, when you shop the endless assortment of cute stationery sets, it’s hard to resist picking some up. Find a stationery kit that speaks to you. The best ones will come with colorful gel pens, creative letterpress cards, envelopes, and a cute pouch to help you keep it all together. Whatever your personality type, enter the big leagues and say goodbye to sticky note thank you with a stationery set to call your own. 


Schlep in Style

In the corporate world, you likely see a sea of leather briefcases and basic messenger bags with each one looking just as “professional” as the last. If you’re the kind of person to color inside the lines, then there's nothing wrong with a traditional, basic bag. But if you’re more of a creative, flashy person, then you should color outside of the lines and shop for unique, cute bags to get your stuff from point A to point B in effortless style.

Companies like Talking Out of Turn (TOOT) work with artists to create unique products including tote bags for everyday schlepping and even pencil pouches and cooler bags. Look for cute bags and totes that have colorful designs and prints and that are made using quality materials that will hold it together when even you can’t. 


Doodles with Attitude

Doodles make the world go ‘round, and they're only possible with the right pens. Sure, your office is probably stocked to the brim with bulk plain ballpoint pens, but as a serious doodle rand note taker, you need something with a touch more attitude and charisma. Look for smooth gel pens that come in flashy colors like gold, lime green, pink, and other unique shades and that have messages like “Creative Genius,” “All I Do Is Win,” and “It’s All Good” to keep you laughing and motivated throughout the day.
