The Business Woman

Welllllll I said I was going to post this about 3 weeks ago but I forgot, but better late then never I suppose! This one is for all those office girls out there! I actually think that the office can be a bit competitive when it comes to fashion, and with around 300 people in my office alone, it can be quite important to keep up appearances! (Although saying this, I don't wear make-up or do my hair for work!) But, I do try my hardest to try and look sharp! I have put together this little blog to try and inspire some of your wardrobes, I know how easy it can be to get in a routine of wearing the same clothes each week!

I have alot of blacks/greys in my work-wear, because to be honest I don't really think you can go wrong, and you don't want to be that clown that turns up in something hideously illuminous. I get most of my work-wear from Next, Miss Selfridges and Primark believe it or not. Always make sure you have a pair of black court shoes in your wardrobe too, these will pretty much go with anything, it can even make the frumpiest outfits look quite smart!

Look 1: This black wrap dress is from Miss Selfridge at around £30, I feel quite sophisticated in it and it looks fine with a pair of black tights for those colder days! 

Look 2: A good pair of cigarette pants are key, I have these in plain grey & black too.. I think these patterned ones for £10 from Primark liven the outfit up a bit

Look 3: My beloved pinstriped skirt. I think pinstripe can be quite dated but this wrap skirt from Miss Selfridge gives it a modern twist

Look 4: Comfort, warmth and a masculine edge. I teamed this cosy polo from New Look with some high waisted pants from Topshop and finished the outfit off with some brogues

Being stylish doesn't have to cost a fortune, check out Primark & ASOS for some bargains.. You only really need a few statement pieces and then you'd be surprised how different an outfit can look by simply changing your top or shoes..
