Finally – a bit of sunshine emerges through the clouds. You know what that means? It’s time to wear WHITE (and suncream)
Normally, the closest I’ll get to white workwear outfits is a white shirt. Or super-clean white trainers perhaps. It just seems a bit too dressy to go full-on white sometimes, I don’t know why that is but I always associate white with occasionwear, days at the races and holidays on the beach right?

What I Wore To Work: New Meli Melo Bag & White Finery Workwear
It's Wednesday and my fashion series "What I Wore To Work Wednesday" has returned!!
What I Wore To Work has been on a little break after I moved flat because I couldn't find any decent places to take photos which didn't have piles of shoes and makeup in the background.
However, I've finally found a lovely spot at the top of my stairs which actually has some decent natural light (and no clutter!!)

What I Wore To Work: Wonderful Winter Warmers
Hi team! A quick 'What I Wore To Work' from me today - mainly because I bought this dress and these shoes and I couldn't wait to show you!!
How hard is it dressing for this weather?! Not quite warm enough for no-jacket but too warm for your coat.
A duster coat is the perfect answer to that and today's dress is a lovely silky find, in a wintery print. Proof that you CAN wear print to work and still look quite corporate.
Duster Coat & Cube Print Dress by F&F
The standout piece of today's outfit is this amazing printed dress from F&F. I wore the white version to London Fashion Week and immediately knew I had to get the other colour too!
 |
| My LFW White Version! |
It feels so much more expensive than it actually is - it feels like a dress from Cos, a lovely silky but sturdy material. Totally worth the £15 I paid for it during the recent F&F 25% off weekend! I love a good bargain!
I love the coloured print - it's smart, it's modern and you can also wear this dress with black tights when it gets colder. The perfect Autumn to Winter transition!
Before we get to the pictures, I just want to make zero apologies for the obvious attempt to photoshop out my life (aka my cluttered bedroom floor). I've spared you the horror..
I've teamed the dress with this textured black duster coat which I swear - goes with EVERYTHING. AND - if I'm not excited enough - it has HUGE POCKETS which fit everything I need in it! (phone, cards, oyster, keys, lipgloss)
Seriously, whenever I can't be bothered to carry a bag, I'll just wear this duster coat. P-L-A-N.
Anyway, less exciting but equally lovely are my new tassle leather shoes from &Other Stories. I bought them on a 50% off at Vogue Fashion's Night Out. They're not my usual cup of tea (possibly a bit too out-there for me) but I just thought they were really really nice and great quality. Oh god, I sound like my mum - GOOD QUALITY LEATHER, GOOD BARGAIN - it's like buying ugly shoes in Clarks again back in the 90s. (without the awesome foot measuring machine!)
So there we go - a quick look at today's outfit. What do you think?
And how awesome was the foot measuring machine at Clarks?!?!

What I Wore To Work Wednesday: Autumn Blues
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
It's happening! Following my new job and my impending flat move, I have decided that I am going to start my OFFICIAL grown up life - aka time to start acting your age Zoe!
This basically means stop hoarding things, start planning meals, spend my money more wisely, blah blah blah. It's basically every new years resolution I ever had and failed at.
As I start thinking about the impossible task of packing and moving my gigantic collection of clothes, I've decided I need to also change my shopping habits/habit - I am physically running out of space.
Therefore - light bulb moment- from now onwards, I've decided to BUY LESS.... but buy nicer, higher quality, investment pieces. (and maybe bin something. Maybe)
This very ridiculous reasoning is exactly why, although I never used to shop at Hobbs, I can now justify it! (On the condition that it's in the sale, and if I can wear it for work AND leisure)
Well, today's pair of shoes ticks ALL the boxes. Soft Leather. Work and Leisure. Utterly beautiful. HELLO NEW GROWN UP LIFE!!
When it comes to my work style, I'm a big fan of pretty, but strong, looks.
As you may have seen from my previous What I Wore To Work Wednesday's, I especially like a twist on mens tailoring so when I saw these boyish brogues from Hobbs, I just HAD to have them!

What I Wore To Work: NEW SHOES! Hobbs Vida Derby Brogues
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)
Dress by New Look
Necklace: Primark
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
Hiya Face Value Friends! Today's What I Wore To Work Wednesday features two beautiful blue pieces from my favourite budget fashion brands - Forever 21 and Primark!
So, confession time, I went to Primark TWICE in 2 days. I think I may have a problem. Though, the first visit was a planned trip and the second was because my cousin was visiting from Australia and it would have been rude NOT to take her - Primark is basically a tourist attraction...right?
Blouse: Primark £8
Skirt: Forever 21 £7.99
Rings: New Look £6

What I Wore To Work: Beautiful Blues with Primark & Forever 21
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!
Blazer: Forever 21
Wrap Top: H&M
Black Trousers: Zara
Slingbacks: H&M
Necklace: Marc Jacobs
Triangle Ring: New Look
Handbag: Michael Kors
