DressFrench Connection blue Paisley print dress
ShoesAcne pistol boots in "skin"
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted Balenciaga classic pearly grey double tour bracelet

Boots and a scarf because it was really chilly! Ended up wearing a blazer over the top of this too. Going to have to start thinking about wearing opaque tights again - the sheer nude tone ones didn't keep me warm enough today!

Although I did swap my red suede flats out for more sensible ones with the rain, I didn't learn anything from Monday and went with bare legs today - regretted the choice in the morning when it started raining! I thought the red would look really nice with the brown shirt, but I can always try it again when the weather is drier.

Feather Pashmina, Navy Polka Dot Dress, Chloe Marcie Bag | Ruffle Top, Sass and Bide Skinny Jeans, Alexander Wang Rocco

Here's what I wore to  go to work and attend a training course on Wednesday:
Scarf: Nali feather print pashmina scarf (New Purchase)
Necklace: gift from DH
Dress: Jeanswest 'Gwenda' print dress
Belt: gifted Cotton On black waist belt
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs patent mouse flats in black and white
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


Just a nice simple printed dress outfit today. I ended up taking the scarf off during the day, but it kept me warm on the journey to and from work. Although the training course means I'm home later in the evening, I'm still having to work on the project in the morning before the class begins, so I'm up really early for that and an extra layer comes in handy when it's cooler.


Last worn: black belt, dress, Marc Jacobs mouse flats, Chloe Marcie Hobo. First time I've worn the scarf as it's a new purchase.

Another comfortable outfit for my training course today. Couldn't decide what bag to wear with this very blue outfit, as I'd worn my poppy red Balenciaga Velo with this top last time. In the end, stuck with the blue thing I had going on and chose my Rocco bag this morning :)


Last worn: ruffle detail top, studded sandals, Alexander Wang Rocco. First time I've worn the jeans as they are a recent purchase.

Colour Block Top, Plaid Pencil Skirt, Alexander Wang Rocco | Blue Leopard Print Scarf, Skinny Jeans, Mulberry Alexa Bag

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:
Top: Cotton On Finland Spliced top in hommus / black / washed orange
SkirtFrench Connection plaid pencil skirt
Shoes: Nine West black flats that usually live under my desk in the office
Bracelets: the usual
BagAlexander Wang Rocco with gold hardware in dark argon from Reebonz


Not too sure about this outfit - maybe a necklace would have looked great with the top? It's definitely missing something. Swapped the pencil skirt out for a pair of skinny jeans when I went out shopping in the evening and felt much more comfortable  Although I wore thongs to and from the office I wore these flats when I was at work, they stay under my desk for when I need a nice pair of flat black shoes. Managed to take this photo when I popped out the office for a bit of fresh air.


Last worn: colour block top, pencil skirt, Alexander Wang Rocco.



Here's what I wore to work for casual Friday today:
Scarf: Cotton On animal print scarf in blue (New purchase)
Top: Supre white gathered top
JeansJeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
ShoesNine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual plus Indigo Rose Design waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
BagMulberry regular size Alexa bag in foggy grey from Reebonz sale


The rain wasn't going away by the time I got home in the evening, so had to take indoor photos. Just like when I started the blog! Only now the clothes rack is so weighed down it looks like it's falling on one side...and my shoe collection has expanded...haha. My push to get rid of most of my heels and replace all of my thongs with sandals and cute flats has meant I've run out of spaces for shoes.
Starting to think I should get up earlier in the morning and get photos then, as it's difficult to get good lighting at the end of the day. Really liked this outfit, just not the photos.

Tried to get a shot of my nails in the detail picture - got a free Ciate statement nail mani at lunch time. First time I've tried caviar polish, so I'm interested to see how it lasts! It's 'lemon fizz' I'm wearing, there is a better pic on instagram here.


Last worn: top, skinny jeans, shoes, Mulberry Alexa bag.

I really like wearing this greeny-blue Rocco bag with blue clothes! Have been wanting to pair it with this dress for a little while, one of my favourite dresses. I like the fact that it pairs so well with black, brown or tan accessories.

Jacket: Warehouse cropped zip detail jacket (New purchase)
NecklaceHouse of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Bracelets: the usual
Top: Sass and Bide 'Musical Genius' tank
Jeans: Cotton On black skinny jeans

BagBalenciaga RH work in 2005 Magenta


A while back I won a blog competition on What Would Karl Do, and I got a warehouse voucher. I used it recently in the Warehouse sale to buy a skirt, jumper and this jacket. So I'm not sure how to mark the purchase on my blog as I bought it, but only with the voucher I won. It's not gifted and it's not C/O so do I just say "purchased with competition prize gift voucher" every time? If you know the blog rules help me out :)

The jacket is really warm - I ended up taking it off in the office. Maybe because jackets need to be thicker in the UK as it's so cold? Will be nice as the weather starts to cool here.


Last worn: neon tank, skinny jeans, studded sandals, Balenciaga magenta work.

Metallic Tee, Lace Pencil Skirt, Rocco Bag | Floral and Skull Scarf, Printed Tank, Jeans, Balenciaga Sorbet City

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:
Bracelets: the usual plus Chloe Paddington crystal charm bracelet from Reebonz offline sale, studded and chain link Oroton leather bracelets from Designer Archives (New Purchases)
TeeCotton On Luxe pearl tee
SkirtAsos blue textured lace pencil skirt
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs Logo Plaque flats in camel
BagAlexander Wang Rocco with gold hardware in dark argon from Reebonz


When I was trying to organise my wardrobe a couple of weeks ago I came across this metallic tee I hadn't worn in a while, and the lace pencil skirt, and realised they would pair perfectly together. Had a tricky time picking the right shoes though, haha. I got rid of my gold flats as they had seen better days, or they would have been perfect with this. In the end, went with my trusty tan shoes and a belt to try match it.

I was going to wear this pink scarf with grey again, and had a grey tee in mind to wear. Changed my mind when I remembered I had this printed top sitting around unworn, I think the print worked well with the bright scarf. Nice casual outfit for Friday.
