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!).

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.

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!

Hope you liked this - these are one of my favourite kind of posts to read! I am loving the 'Workwear Wednesdays' tag on twitter. If anyone has any posts like this or even any OOTD posts pop your link in the comments so I can have a read.

OOTN #1 Floral Playsuit

   

Hello - I hope you are all having a nice weekend!

I went out for unplanned drinks on Friday night and had to quickly pull together a very rushed outfit. I thought I'd share it with you all as I love the floral print on this playsuit.

I picked it up in Topshop last week on a 'Last Chance to Buy' rail and I didn't even try it on so luckily it was an alright fit! 

The shoes are also from Topshop and they have about a 4 inch heel and small platform - they are actually the most comfortable heels I own! 

I used my trusty New Look envelope clutch which is about 2 years old but is one of those bags I seem to always use on a night out.

I wanted my nails fairly plain so I wore a nude and painted some silver glitter on top.

As you can see I didn't have time to do my hair properly so I straightened it and popped it over to one side (it really needs cut but I'm one of those people who HATES getting a haircut haha).

Sorry the photos aren't great quality - I'm still trying to find the best spot in my flat for natural light!

What are you all up to this weekend? It's been so sunny in the UK at the moment and makes such a nice difference when you have plans! 

Thanks for reading, look out for my next post... doing a little giveaway!
