What I Wear to Work: NBBJ’s Sarah Morse favors pants a little short, skirts a little full, sleeves a little long

SARAH MORSE

38, interior designer, NBBJ, Seattle

What’s NBBJ?

We’re an architecture and design firm. I work on interior spaces for a wide variety of buildings and companies.

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.

What’s on your necklace?

My two children’s names. It’s a dainty version of dog tags.

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.

Notebooks are very 1999.

Sketching, drawing, and note-taking are becoming lost arts. I like that it’s all preserved in one spot.

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.

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.
