So normally Wednesday is my What I Wore To Work special but today is going to be a bit more of a What I Bought From Work!
Long story short, due to poor advance planning and some ridiculously long wait-times from Sky there is no TV in the new flat. As I sat here consoling myself with a bit of online shopping, I thought, why not kill two birds with one stone and do a little blog post too?
Today's bank balance body-slam is courtesy of my employers, F&F. It's a weird cycle where they pay me and I immediately empty most of my money back into shpoping the site. I know you know what I mean! Very circle of life, like in the Lion King. (we become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass - classic Mufasa speech)
Anyway, enough of my trip back to the 90's - I've rustled up a little summer style collage to showcase my pics and inspire your retail rush today..
Feast your eyes on this! A bountiful collection of prints, florals and textures - can you believe that you can buy these from ONLY £6?
Let's take a closer look, shall we?

What I Bought From Work: My F&F Summer Style Picks
Following my special What I Wore To The Weddings last week, I'm back to the corporate grind and bringing you another workwear special!
Normally, I prefer some sort of fancy shirt, slim trouser combination but now that the weather is warming up (please please please please!) I've started cracking out the skirts and skin! That's right - I'm actually braving the elements WITHOUT my trusty black tights!
Today's work outfit is a sheer tartan blouse paired with my favourite royal blue pencil skirt. Armed with my new Ralph Lauren bag in tow, this is a lady-like and elegant look which brings a splash of creative, yet careful, colour to the office.

What I Wore To Work: Ladylike Lines
So I'm a huge fan of Primark (who isn't?!) and I have found some absolute GEMS in there previously. You know - the kind of gems where everyone says "omgg where did you get that? Topshop? Urban Outfitters?" and you smugly reply "Primark actually!" I love it when that happens, don't you?
Anyway, one day I was dragging my overflowing basket round the beauty bit and I saw this little wonder. Primark perfume? I was dead certain it was either going to smell sickly sweet or ,a la Mean Girls, "like a baby prostitute".
But hey, I was in the market for a fragrance so I gave it a chance. One quick spray with the tester on my wrist and BOOOOOOM!
Just when I thought Primark couldn't surprise me anymore.....
This Primark Polka perfume is genuinely, really lovely. As soon as I smelt it, I was so surprised I even said "wow, that's ACTUALLY really nice!!
(Unfortunately a shop assistant heard me which was friggin mortifying, but she said that she'd heard that loadsa times before and people are constantly surprised once they try it. Phew, Zoe Dubs out of trouble!!)
But does it smell like a baby prostitute?
