Work Wear #1

                

Hello lovelies!

Office wear is sometimes really difficult to get right – especially in the summer months when it gets a little warm and you don’t want to be uncomfortable. I decided to revamp my work wardrobe this summer. Usually I tend to just ‘demote’ whatever I can in my normal wardrobe, but this year I decided to make some new purchases –  summer fashion trends are so nice this year, it is devastating me that I don’t have a holiday booked!

Anyway I thought I would start to do a sort of Look book with a few of the things I purchased as I do think it is sometimes quite difficult to find nice things for work. Its so much easier for guys as they can just wear suits etc!

I generally try to be quite comfortable but I work in an office so need to look smart too. The trousers I bought new in Topshop last week (and I also bought them in white on black too after seeing them on Essie Button’s Instagram - I couldn’t help myself!).

White Wrap Top - River Island (similar)

Gingham Cigarette Trousers - Topshop

Peep Toe Shoes - Office

Watch - Marc Jacobs

Ring - Calvin Klein

Nails - Essie 'Muchi Muchi' and 'A Cut Above'

Bag - DKNY

I like to wear heels to work but our office has a lot of stairs and sometimes I’m on my feet a lot so some days I opt for little flats. If you are looking for durable flats that will last I would totally recommend Office. I’m not sure if they still have these particular ones but they have lasted me well over two years, I don’t wear them everyday right enough, but I will definitely be going back there for another pair come autumn. 

Scallop Collar Shirt - ASOS

Tan Pencil Skirt - ASOS

Black Wedges - Primark

Watch - Michael Kors

I love the scallop collar on this shirt - I've had this one a while now and actually considering buying another. I would add tights and a blazer to this outfit for colder months. I'm also obsessed with anything nude/camel at the moment!
