I purchased this pair of khaki green trousers from Banana Republic and I have been desperate to create a style suitable for the workplace for ages.
Khaki green is an easy colour to wear but depending on the style of the item, sometimes I do second guess myself as to whether it is a suitable look for the office.
Fortunately, as workplace fashion goes, workplaces more often than not I find now have adopted a smart casual approach to dress code providing you are presentable.
Hey Sweeties,
How gorgeous has the weather been this week, so hot! I hope it continues into the weekend!
The below outfit was worn on Wednesday -the hottest day on record- so knowing it would be so hot (but fortunately our office has air con that sometimes can feel like you’re sat in the arctic), I needed to wear something that was super simple, not layered but loose enough so that I didn’t get too uncomfortable sat at my desk and this stripey dress fitted the bill perfectly!
My legs do not seem to photograph well in these strappy heeled sandals but these were a great addition to the outfit to still keep it all formal enough for the office, while adding in a summery vibe.
This week’s new outfit focus is this River Island blouse paired with a black pencil skirt. I made a real effort this week to try and show you something different, conscious that during the last couple of these posts I haven’t moved too far away from my faithful River Island black trousers; but they are SUCH a staple and so versatile.
Like I said I made a real effort this week to try out a new combination of items from my wardrobe and this is kind of what I am trying to do going forward, whereby at least once a week I aim to achieve this. Here is this week’s outfit:
In this week’s work wear highlight/today’s post, I show you how effectively a skull patterned scarf can add a level of fun and interest to an otherwise simple outfit for the workplace.
How to add a pop of pink or any bright colour to a work outfit is much easier to achieve than some might think. I really love the look I am sharing with you this week, the trousers have become such a work staple as have the shoes, but this Ben Sherman shirt I can’t believe I haven’t worn sooner!
I don’t even remember getting this pink shirt to be honest but I know I have had it a fair while, and I mean probably years and yet never worn it. I think the combination of black, pink and grey go really well together, looks effortless, and overall a great combination. What do you think?
