Style
What
I wear
to
work
What do you do?
In a nutshell, I ensure
the Bank’s interests are
adequately protected;
monitor court cases; review
court processes and ensure
the processes to be filed in
court on behalf of the Bank
satisfactorily capture the
Bank’s position.
Your preference
in work shoes?
Stiletto-heels
Why?
Stiletto-heels make
me look professional
while showing off my
signature style. I feel
elevated in heels,
longer, leaner, elegant
and more purposeful.
Why
all-brown?
Brown represents
boldness.
Accessorising?
Over accessorising
could spoil the
whole presentation.
I stick to my main
piece and build
around it with things
that complement it.
Designer brands?
I mix my high-end and
low-end pieces, it is my
definition of style. My
shoes are Fendi and my
wristwatch is a Rado.
What’s your idea of
‘dressed for the job’?
My image wrapped in
gorgeous clothing that
project intelligence and
congeniality. At work,
dressing well showcases my
exuberance for my career,
and boosts my confidence.
Won’t be caught
dead?
I’d never be caught dead
baring my midriff or in skimpy
clothes. Over-exposing the
body is unprofessional and
unacceptable.

works
in the Litigation Unit of the
Legal Services Division in
Head Office.
I keep my look
both fashionable
and professional by
pairing shades and
finishes within the
same colour family.
