Work OOTD!

Here is what I wore to work the other day, just thought I would give you a little sneak peek into my office wardrobe. I find it extremely difficult to dress for work as it is really easy to look boring and dull under layers of grey and white. I work in a warehouse so my office clothes have to be smart yet practical.

When I wear this shirt I like to wear my hair up as there is so much detailing on the back it can look overwhelming and I want to show off the lace.

Brown Leather Belt - Vintage Levis

Black Skinny Jeans are the perfect item of clothing as they are so versatile. They can look smart, scruffy, chic depending on what they are teamed with. I like them for work as they are really comfortable when sat at your desk. 

Black Skinny Jeans - New Look - £19.99

Brown Loafers - Tesco - £12

I have never bought shoes from Tesco before and was quite dubious from the price. But they are really comfortable, well made and look smart. I also like that the colour is more of a tan than brown.

Shirt - River Island

I wear minimal Jewellery whilst at work because it means I don't jingle and clatter around all day long especially when I'm on the phone.

Its a shorts thing...

After a recent trip to Munich in Germany, I had some Euros left over and decided to buy a summer shorts outfit. I really love the style of Mollie King from the Saturdays, her trademark look is tailored shorts and usually a lightweight blazer. I think its really versatile as you could wear it in the daytime with gladiator sandals and a baggy t-shirt, for work with a smart shirt or on a night out with heels and a slouchy shirt.

I love how Katherine Jenkins has mixed patterns and bold colours - It looks amazing with a tan.

Shorts - River Island - £20

Shirt - River Island - £30

This is what i wore on a recent night out. The shorts are a silky material with a really flattering cut. They are high waisted but have a slightly flared leg which means they don't cling to any lumps or bumps resulting in your legs looking longer. The shirt is a baggy fit with a draped back which I think is really unusual. Although I tucked it into the shorts, as it was too long when untucked, it would look great loose with tight jeans for a smart/casual ensemble. The belt is brown leather, bought for around £3 in Thailand and the shoes are nude platforms from New Look which i think cost around £20. On the night itself, I teamed it with lots of chunky gold bangles, a short gold chain necklace and a brown clutch bag.
