Summer is officially here and whilst I'm loving the heat, it does add a bit more pressure to my last-minute wardrobe panic in the morning! London in the summer can be beautiful but if you have to take the Tube or walk anywhere more than 10minutes away, things can often become more melt than svelte... BOO.
We all know that dressing for the office comes with its own unwritten rules but how can we dress appropriately whilst retaining our cool? Here are my top five tips for summer fashion, with a corporate edge.
Loosen up.
Say goodbye to slim tailored separates and pencil shapes. Nothing will make you feel more like a melting rubber band than a pencil dress in summer - (especially if spanx are involved!!)

What I Wore To Work: Dressing For The Heat
A dark mood is upon me. Partly due to the come-down from the bank holiday weekend but mostly down to the fact that the rain has returned. Oh yeah, and Film4 has been showing Twilight films all weekend. That too.
I always find myself choosing clothes in line with my mood and today I've gone for some sort of "minimalist gothic grumpus". Yes, today HAS been a grumpy day - I've been walking to the tube every day this week in that type of rain which isn't enough to justify an umbrella but is enough to seriously get on my grill - weak rain is the despair of all glasses wearing girls out there!
I'm mourning the lack of summer sun but all over black can be quite severe. Today's dress has a flash of burgundy to help to break up the black and add a bit of shape to what is, essentially, a large sack. (albeit a very comfortable one)

This long sleeved dress is a great choice for work because it covers up enough skin whilst still looking stylish. The shape is perfect for swishing around the office and still looks very smart with tights or bare legged.
The loose shape means that it's INCREDIBLY comfortable, but it still retains an expensive, modern edge because of the block colour and the crepe material. It's not normally something I'd go for but.... the price! THE PRICE!
How much was the dress?

What I Wore To Work: Block Colour Black & Burgundy
As the festive season gets into full swing, the attire in the office is noticeably more casual. Christmas lunch coming up? Business-casual. Christmas drinks after work? Business-casual.
Business-casual is one of those awful dress-codes which tell you almost everything and yet NOTHING at the same time. What does it mean?! Do I have to wear a shirt? Am I allowed to show my arms? Does it have to have a collar?
Here's my take on the infamous B-C. And I'm doing it, like a dude, with a men's grey marl t-shirt and a long-line boyfriend fit blazer.
