OUTFIT: SHIRT DRESS - MATALAN £15, BOOTS - MATALAN £26
Whether you've got no requirements with what you wear for work - or you're told to wear smart clothing, workwear shopping seems like such a drag. You can never find that something that looks fashionable enough to wear after work but also fits the bill for the office.
You want clothing that differs from your weekend clothing but why should we have to lose out on a bit of the fashion element.
There are just so many elements that go into making the purchase for workwear such as: does it work for all seasons, is it the right length, will it go with most jackets, can I wear suitable footwear with it - the list goes on.
So I have teamed up with Matalan to bring you two outfits suitable for work (and play) that covers all aspects - I think.
This first outfit is perfect for those who want to steer away from black and want to add a bright colour into their wardrobe. It has long sleeves so perfect for the current weather ( you could also add a long sleeved top under to keep you extra toasty). It has a tie waist which makes it flattering but also adds that fashion element as well as the stripe pattern. The length is just before the knees which also makes it a good length with or without tights/leggings.
OUTFIT: T-SHIRT - MATALAN £8, JACKET - MATALAN £20, TROUSERS - MATALAN £14, TRAINERS - MATALAN £12
The second outfit is one of my favourite. It's comfortable and stylish but also can be changed to more of a smart look with just one simple change - swap the trainers for heels and you will look like the girl boss you are.
Thats only two outfits but theres actually a lot of choice on Matalan's website that I could choose.
Another tip for dressing more fashionable and stylish for work is making sure you actually style it - don't just dress yourself. It may take an extra 5 mins but it will be worth it when you become the fashionista of the office.
By styling yourself I mean: tucking in your top or jumper on one side, rolling up your sleeves, roll up the hems of your trousers, add a shirt under a jumper, adding a belt to a dress around the waist - theres loads of ways.
Which outfit do you prefer?

I'm obsessed with this outfit! I just love the detail on my jumper and so did you guys when I posted an image on IG. The colour combo is very autumnal and Ive been desperate to start wearing knitwear again. BYE SUMMER!
Also, how cute is this street in Edinburgh near where I went for my blow dry?!
My blow dry was at Vincent Bell and it was the best blow dry EVER so if you're in Edinburgh then you need to visit this salon for a blow dry and a photoshoot in the alley just up from the salon!
Have you found any secret spots to shoot?

I'm obsessed with this red trend ATM because I didn't join in last year and I have been dying to get my hands on some red trousers but I am obsessed and live in culottes because they're so good for short people!! So how amazing are these red culottes?! Also they match so well with my new commes des garçon converse.

AW17 TREND 70'S SOFT SUEDESHOP MY LOOK HERE
One of the trends that I've been inspired by the AW17 catwalks is defo the 70's trend with all the soft leathers and soft suedes mixed with those 70's tones & daring prints!
So when INTU.CO.UK challenged me to create an outfit inspired by a trend that I'm loving for AW17 consisting of only 4 pieces. Each piece had to be from a different brand/store. It was harder than it sounds!! 4 pieces for an entire outfit is so difficult!
But the shops that I was always heading to was Topshop, River Island, Miss Selfridge & Kurt Geiger.
I'm obsessed with this outfit as its a bit daring for me! I know you're saying 'Daring, how?!' but honestly just having shoes that don't match my bag sends my head into all sorts of mess! But I'm slowly but surely learning that not everything has to match and its quite cool when things clash. I'm totally getting Inso from The Little Magpie right now.
What new AW17 trend are you loving?
