This week I thought I might do something a bit different. I've not really done this before so I hope it works!
I'm back to work after nearly a year off (maternity leave) and I have no clue what I'm going to wear. When I was last in work, or course I was wearing maternity clothes, and before that I was a size 12 (I am SO not a size 12 anymore!) so none of my clothes are really suitable.
I also have no idea about current fashion trends really, I don't buy fashion magazines any more, and although I read a few fashion blogs, I think a lot of the looks are a bit young for me! So what I did was this. I used the Polyvore app on my phone to browse through a whole heap of different clothes, and create some looks that would be suitable for work.
Rather than trying to find the exact items, I more often find a photo of an item that I like (such as a black skirt) which can be found anywhere. For example, in this first look, that skirt is more than a grand!! As if I would ever spend that much money on a skirt, even if I was a billionaire!!
So, hopefully this is what I will be wearing come June when I am back at work!
Look 1: I love the simplicity of a black skirt and white shirt, but not really sure if I can pull it off. I have all these items (well, look-a-like items!) already, so will have to try it out before I return!
Look 2: I bought some navy trousers last week, and I have a very similar top (but mine has polka dots on it! win!!) - I am in LOVE with that bag, but it is probably waaaaay out of my price range!!
Look 3: This would be great for a more casual look - and that bag is just too adorable! And only £5 apparently! I love floral prints right now!
I have a few more, you can have a look at my Polyvore account here.
P.S. you can still get 25% off in my Etsy shop until the end of May!
adore them all!
ReplyDeletethanks chick! x
Deletelove the second and the third look! i totally forgot about polyvore, thanks for reminding me ^^
ReplyDeleteI totally use it as a procrastination tool, so I apologies in advance!!
DeleteSuuuuuper cute stuff, I'm loving the bright colors and the floral! Thanks for visiting me, your blog is super cute!
ReplyDeleteAw thanks love! I think your blog is super cute too xxx
DeleteI love the boots in look 1, and the scarf and bag in look 3. Although I guess I'd have to combine them with some clothes too as my work's dress code is smart/casual not naked-with-accessories. xxx
ReplyDeleteIndeed, clothes are unfortunately a requirement of most work places. Sorry.
DeleteI really love all the pretty florals in look 3. If I were to use these as inspiration, I'd probably do a mix of 1 and 3. Love it!
ReplyDeleteFlorals are so awesome! I want them on everything!!
DeleteOooh, I love that first skirt zoo much! I am the total opposite to you in regards to the fact that if I saw that skirt in a shop I would probably go into debt to own it haha. I have some serious issues when it comes to shopping :P
ReplyDeleteThat being said, the last look is my favourite - FLORALS! Plus, it looks so comfortable! xx
I do like comfort (which is why I have spent the last xx months in pyjamas and trackie bottoms :)
DeleteThe boots and skirt from outfit #1. are my faves. I'm looking for some workwear inspiration too, but knowing me, I'll probably end up doing what I always do and just buy everything from Zara and H&M *classy bird*. Great ideas lady :-) n x
ReplyDeletehaha well Zara and H&M do have some nice things, so yay!! xx
DeleteCute outfits! Love them!
