Dress for Sucess

August 22, 2013

Jacket     //     Cami Top     //    Trousers     //     Bag     //     Shoes


As much as we try and deny it, it's human nature to judge people when we first meet them and something that affects this opinion is how the person is dressed. I thought I'd put together the type of outfit that I think is perfect for work, but still represents me. By now, you must all know I love a good monochrome combo; it's so easy to wear and looks really chic. I put the trousers with a flatform instead of a heel as it's much more comfortable and the ankle strap will make your ankles look thinner.

If you are looking for new on trend, work wear, I'd really recommend checking out River Island at the minute. They have some lovely pieces.

What do you tend to wear for work?

  5. I love monochrome look. It is so simple yet it adds a bit of class. I tend to mix casual formal for work. I hate going all formal and dress.

  10. I'm really lucky that my workplace has a casual dress code, when I can be bothered I might dress up a bit but I'm usually always in skinny jeans, haha. I do love those trousers though, the monochrome trend is lovely.
