Work Wear

Since starting my new job this week, I have been rethinking office work wear. I work for a luxury fashion retailer, so I have to look smart, but I would also like to incorporate a bit of stylishness into my work wear, and ultimately, a bit of 'me'. I don't wear trousers, and I generally don't wear black, so I have been searching high and low for inspiration of what to wear for work.

  2. i think any of these would be appropriate for work and seeing as you work for a fashion retailer then you have to add a bit of your own style in there
    i don't have a job unfortunately but i would wear any of these outfits

  3. I'm a student so I can wear whatever I want, which usually is far more smart than necessary. You are so lucky to be able to wear office wear with your own style incorporated into it! I'm loving the mid-length a-line skirts and cotton shirts, but personally I think you should totally rock the mad men look xx

  11. Lovey photos, specially the ones of Léa Seydoux (L), Clemence Poesy (I love her style) and Alexa, love her gray sweater.

    I'm a student so I usually dress in a casual way to go to university. And I usually wear trousers and I have loads of black clothes like blazers, t-shirts, skirts, vests... hehe, but I love this soft colors for clothes too ;)

    kisses

  12. I think it's great that you don't wear trousers. Skirts and dresses are definitely the way to go!
