One of the big challenges when it comes to dressing for work is dressing smart, whilst keeping your own sense of style. A great way to show a bit of your personality is by showing what's under your blazer. Hold the phone - I'm obviously talking about the top you're wearing underneath. 

In the City, every other workwear outfit  involves a plain, boring shirt underneath the jacket. Don't get me wrong, a crisp white shirt can sometimes be the absolute bees knees when it comes to looking smart in that sexy Parisian, minimalist way but there are lots of other options other than a shirt.

I'm talking pretty patterns, decorative collars, metal finishes, luxe fabrics - ANYTHING THAT ISN'T WHITE! I sometimes think that life would be easier if we could just wear a uniform but of course, it wouldn't be as fun right? To make your shopping inspiration more easy, I've picked some examples to show you.

In the absence of any time to take any actual photos of myself, I've chosen the five shirts which caught my eye this week.

But before I get too excited and start shouting about Christmas, back to the topic at hand. Definitely a jam-packed but wonderful first-time-in-New-York - here's a little snapshot of what I got up to...




What on earth am I doing? Read on, dear reader, read on!
