It’s 7 in the morning and its time to get up and go to work. You have to be in the car by 8 to be at the office at 9 and then you’ll be out on your way home again some time after 5. Such is the life of an Office Tramp. You have to experience the daily grind and the designers at Office Tramp are not going to let you forget that.

Look closely and you will see these slightly oversized medallions read 9,5. As in 9 to 5, the typical hours of most office workers. It is kind of symbolic to have those hours tied around your neck as if to say you are bound in chains to work those hours. If I recall correctly working a mundane job office or otherwise is a personal choice that can be remedied anytime by finding a new job. Office Tramp, youre kind of bringing me down…

Wallet chains are making a come back. Didn’t I already tell you that? Well if I didn’t I meant to. Like so many of the pieces from Office Tramp this chain would look great with or without the “vintage” glasses charm. One thing to be said of the “vintage” glasses they look more like Cazals from the 80s, when I think of vintage glasses I think of cat eye frames from the 50‘s, but hey that’s just me.

Girl don’t pick up your phone it’s your job calling trying to get you to come in on your day off…..Just kidding you better pick up the phone or you might get fired… I think this necklace is cute with its little dangling telephones. I also like that they chose to layer different types of chain. Something tells me I would like this necklace even more if it didn’t have the telephone charms but then how would we be able to tell that is literally Office Tramp jewelry?

I wonder if someone who doesn’t wear glasses themselves would wear a choker with a vintage glasses centerpiece. As an 8th grader new to the glasses game I used to own a pair of frames that looked just like these. Because of them I would proudly wear this choker, while wearing my current glasses of course. Somehow this necklace being silver and more minimal makes it a lot less gimmicky than the rest.

Is it wrong to call this brand gimmicky? Because really when you think about it the jewelry they produce at office tramp is a very obvious interpretation of their name. What are they going to do when all of the puns are gone? When the day is done and the weekend comes will you really be looking for an reminder of the office to wear on the weekend? I don’t think so but for the sake of the good folks behind Office Tramp I hope you do.
