New Uniform Joys



chiffon blouse

The high street saved my lucky stars in the search for new work outfits. The dress code is simply 'black'. I count myself remarkably lucky that it just so happens to be the new Autumn/Winter collections hitting stores so I have plenty to choose from. However, that itself also causes issues...like what to choose because there are too many choices and too little funds!

I have been a diehard fan of Swedish store H&M for years. I'm constantly picking up bits and pieces; basic shirts and statement skirts. So, as luck would have it, I found an oversize chiffon blouse with a leather detail collar! The funny thing is I already have a range of these blouses; in leopard print and monochrome stripes...I clearly have a 'type'...

Dorothy Perkins saved me with their skater dresses.  I have always admired fit and flare dresses because they flatter us curvy ladies! Number one is a simple and structured sleeveless flare dress. Number 2 consisted of  a 1/2 sleeve mesh top dress. The lace panel on the shoulders tempted me more than anything else.

New Look provided my new work wardrobe with a dash of playful vintage. This skater dress has an adorable peter pan collar. My heart melted when I saw this simplistic yet vintage inspired piece. It's a perfect daywear dress but can also be toughened up by incorporating the punk/grunge trend.
