What I Wear to Work
SARAH MORSE 38, interior designer, NBBJ, Seattle
Etc.
What’s on your necklace? My two children’s names. It’s a dainty version of dog tags.
ETSY FAMILY HEIRLOOM
What’s NBBJ? We’re an architecture and design firm. I work on interior spaces for a wide variety of buildings and companies.
MOLESKINE Notebooks are very 1999. Sketching, drawing, and note-taking are becoming lost arts. I like that it’s all preserved in one spot.
KIMBERLY BAKER What’s your fashion philosophy? I lean toward clothes that play with proportion, like pants that are cut a little short, or skirts that are a little full, or sleeves that are a little long. I refuse to suffer all day in something uncomfortable.

I’ve never heard of Totokaelo. It’s a Seattle store and website that gathers great artists and designers. It’s incredibly unique.
TOTOKAELO
You shop very locally. There’s a better chance I’ll find something one-ofa-kind, and I like to support locals who excel at their craft.
FARYLROBIN
Are jumpsuits comfortable? I wish I had one for every day of the week. It’s modern. When you put it on, you instantly look hip and polished, and you only have to make one decision.
KIMBERLY BAKER FAMILY HEIRLOOM
Do you wear those rings every day? Yes. When you have a polished look, they add edge. And you dress to match your clients? No. If they think I’m creative, they may feel more comfortable that we’re going to deliver.
What do you wear to job sites? I always have an extra pair of boots to throw on.
