WHO SAYS OFFICE WEAR HAS TO MEAN SAFE & BORING/ GREY OR BLACK/ SUITED & BOOTED??
NOT ME.
I feel that dressing for work should reflect your personality. At the end of the day, it’s YOU who you are dressing for. As long as you look smart, and presentable there are endless possibilities to what you can class as 'Work Wear’.
Being a BIG fan of Autumnal colours, fabrics and print. I was delighted to be told that Topshop had brought out a pair of Tweed Tapered Trousers, for just £36 for AW12. Pair these with a slinky, oversized animal print shirt, £40, ZARA statement fringed ankle boots with a practical heel, £89.99 (but I am a strong believer in “YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR” and the saying “POUNDS PER WEAR?” You are going to wear these A LOT, so they’ve gotta be a decent quality to begin with riiiiight?) Wear them with these Urban Outfitters studded ankle socks and you’ll never have a boring sock day again… and an ASOS pony skin satchel bag, a great size and price for £25, a bag that will take you from day to night… and… you are ready to rock… those spreadsheets… in style!
Here is what I’d wear…
Oversize Animal Shirt, £40, Topshop
Tweed Tapered Trousers, £36, Topshop
Fringed Flat Ankle Boot, £89.99, Zara
Pin Stud Ankle Socks, £8, Urban Outfitters
Pony Flat Across Body Satchel, £25, ASOS
