Work Attire



With the summer weather still very much around, keeping everyone awake at night, the smartness of my work wardrobe has declined somewhat. Trousers and a blouse just won't do.

My Manager in the middle in blue has, however, kept her workwear smart with a summer edge. This blue Matalan (would you believe it) pencil dress is sleeveless keeping you cool but the above the knee cut maintains the chic office wear look. Flats rather than heels keep the look relaxed.

My dress is from New Look and is very similar to a Topshop design earlier in the year. The skater shape keeps it fun but the colour and short sleeve add to the smart look an office needs. Ballet pumps are a must when walking around completing errands and tasks and for me heels can only be persevered on a night out! 

Gemma has added the bright pop of pink with her skirt from New Look to the office here but has kept the rest of her outfit simple with the plain white T and brown sandals. The similar skater shape to my dress is a flattering shape with the pleats and the subtle baroque pattern keeps the eye wandering. 

It'll soon be time for smart trousers and skirts with blouses again but until then I'm going to enjoy the slightly relaxed direction my work wardrobe has taken.

  1. I like the casual look when you are unlikely to be meeting clients, how casual is acceptable for attending training events for work? I would be interest in your opinion!

    Best Wishes

  2. Thanks for your comment, Gemma!
    Casual is brilliant for when you know you won't be mingling with clients, but for training events a fitted knee length dress is probably more appropriate.
    What do you think?

    Much love,
    Alex
