The Office Wear Wishlist!

Friday 16 January 2015

Dear Boring Worklife,

I have long since come to terms with the fact that I am never going to be a lady of leisure, and seeing as I somehow ended up with a BA in whocaresI'llneveruseitinreallifeanyway with Hons, I'm probably going to be shackled to an office desk until I'm (albeit a very Jessica Lange-like) 65. SO, what choice do I have my dear worklife, but to wrap you up in lots of pretty pieces of material that will help me get through this 9-5 trudgery? Luckily, there are lots of affordable opportunities on the high street to do this as the new season new ins are soooooooo good right now. To the wishlist!

blogger workwear wishlist


Dorothy Perkins Blue Half Placket Roll Sleeve Top £20 - Okay, so I went in Dotty P's today and they are literally killing it right now with the light blouse department. This cobalt blue looked beaut on the hanger, NEED.

Dorothy Perkins Black and White Colour Block Top £22 - I wasn't joking when I said they were killing it, and this monochrome lovely is a nice alternative to the plain black or white shirts. 

Dorothy Perkins Cat Print 2 in 1 Shirt £24 - Office acceptable cat attire. That's all I have to say about that.

Dorothy Perkins Lime Rollsleeve Top £20 - Erm, yes okay, so it's the same as the blue one, but the acid green is sooooooo pretty against grey making it the perf office top for pairing with smarts.

Topshop Jacquard Animal Print Pelmet Skirt £35 - Technically not office wear, but where's the rule that says tops gets to have all the fun? This skirt would instantly perk up any smart blouse or sweater. DEALIO.

River Island Red Stripe Cigarette Pants £42 - Vertical stripes make your legs look longer. Pair these with nude stillies and you have pins for dayyyyyyyyyz! 

New Look Camel Zip Front Pocket A-Line Skirt £17.99 - A nice update on a classic shape and colour.

H&M Grey Slacks £14.99 - I prefer grey over black and these are really flattering. Plus H&M call them 'slacks', which amuses me.

I hope you have found my presentation interesting and I hope to hear from you soon about that hefty payrise.

Best regards,

Jade (never knowingly underdressed)
