Happy Wednesday team! Today see's the first fashion post shot from my new flat! No longer do you have to look at my wardrobe door in the background, you now get to see... my bedroom door! What can I say, some things never change - until I can teach Mr FV how to use the half press focus on the shutter.
Today, as a suit alternative, I bring you smart separates. Yes yes, at the end of the day, smart separates is really a suit so WHERE'S THE TWIST?
I've gone for a relaxed spin and a splash of colour, but enough to stay within the formality of the business casual dress code (aka the world's most vague dress code).
Check it out and let me know what you think!

A little snapshot of what's to come, I've paired my favourite burgundy crop blazer (as featured in my Not So Masculine Tailoring post) with classic skinny cigarette pants from Zara.
Chuck in the bag of my DREAMS plus some wear-everywhere heels and you've got today's outfit. Here are the full pictures.

What I Wore To Work: Relaxed Smart Separates
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
Wednesday is here! How has your week been going? We're halfway there, the weekend is almost in sight! Here's another What I Wore To Work to keep your style radar going. Today's theme is Print ON Print ON Print. That's right Mathletes, I'm doing Print CUBED.
Global and tribal prints were seen all over the SS14 catwalks and for me, that means the return of my favourite - the snake print!
Ever classy and easily wearable, when used correctly, snake print can add a touch of expensive elegance to an otherwise all-Primark outfit. Today, I've loaded up a snake print top, with a snake print handbag and some snake print slingbacks.
On paper it sounds AWFUL right?! Way too matchy matchy and quite frankly, tackier than a pleather catsuit in Vegas. But before you make your mind up, take a look at the photos and let me know what you think!

What I Wore To Work Wednesday - Print on Print (on Print)
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.

What I Wore To Work: Boyfriend-fit Business Casual
There's no denying it. It's official. We are fully IN Coat Weather now. Shivers are in the air and Christmas stuff is already hitting the shelves. Autumn/Winter is here.
It's no longer enough to wear just a jacket outside - my blazer, cardigan, shirt combo will no longer cut it. Without a coat, I quiver like a shaken jelly once the sun goes down. And that my friends, is naht a good look.
And enter the results of my coat searching. This lovely blue/grey oversize coat from Zara. HIYA.
Winter Coat: Zara £85
Slim Black Trousers: Zara £39.99
Leather Heeled Boots: H&M last year £59.99
Jumper: Uniqlo Mens £14.90
Necklace: Swarovski *gift

Given that I've spent the past couple of weeks grasping onto the last of summer, I thought it was only sensible that I get a proper winter coat. You know the kind - thick, warm, heavy and comforting. A sensible coat for the winter weather.
And in a classic colour too, so that it can be worn every year. I've got an electric blue coat which I loved to pieces last year, but I'm all for casual, non-committal coat relationships and have gotten a bit bored of now. Soz blue coat. It now lives in the cupboard in the hall, crying for attention every time I get the hoover out. (which incidentally, is very rare.)
So I spent the past few weeks going from shop to shop looking for 'the perfect coat'. It's surprisingly really easy to shop when you only need one thing - this MUST be how men feel!?!

What I Wore To Work: 50 Shades of Grey with my oversize Zara coat
Here we go, another instalment of what I wore to work!
This week has been a lonnnng week - the first week back from holiday is always the worst.
A hundred things to do and I haven't even got through my million emails yet. I don't need to be worrying about what to wear AS WELL do I?
Luckily, when time is short and the laundry pile is high, I have a go-to outfit which works everytime.
The formula is simple. Shirt. Trousers. Blazer. BOOM.
And here we go - classic white shirt meets new-age rust coloured blazer.
Teamed with a pair of almost 3/4 tapered trousers, there's enough colour and ankle going on to stop it entering boring suit territory but it's still within the lines of 'business casual'.
Where's It All From?
