Work life | Mid week mini series | The work saga: part 4 (2)

I need some serious help with these outfit photos! 1. I look like a horrendous troll & 2. The quality is not coming out well and is making the outfits look so dark and dull!

I'll go straight into it as I know your all here to see the clothes not and not to practise your ready! 

Outfit one:

I got the top from F&F in tesco for the bargain price of £10.. I'm in love with the Topshop ones and when I saw this, being a lover of polka dots, I had to have it. I was pleasantly surprised in how good quality it is and washes really well.

The skirt is a classic for work and was £15 in H&M, it is available in a range of colours and is so comfy! I actually despise work clothes so found it such a dull chore filling up my wardrobe with this style of clothes but I'm slowly getting used to it now.

The blazer is an oldie but a goody. I'm sure we all owned one of these bad boys from New Look back in the day. For some unknown reason I went for pink.. I never buy pink clothes so this is a rarity in my wardrobe. I love it for the office because it is just so light and comfy so I am glad I kept hold of it all these years! 

Here's a close up for some unknown reason. 

Outfit Two:

This dress is a solid favourite of mine for work, especially for the summer months. This is actually also by F&F at Tesco... I swear that's not where I buy my best clothes!! I think it cost around £20 and is again really comfy.. are you spotting a theme here?

 My face look extra ugly in this one so it was best for everyone that it got cropped off *hands over face*. This dress is the perfect length for work and looks great with a blazer. I personally think that it would also be really nice for a family occasion or a trip to the races.

Fashion | Valentinos on a budget

I have wanted a pair of Valentinos since way back when Millie Macintosh posted this photo on Instagram. I fell in love with them right away and knew, as an avid shoe collector, that I needed them.

After checking out the £600+ price tag I realised that maybe I would have to wait for them. I then gradually started seeing various styles pop out allover with the nude colour being the most popular. 

One evening I was browsing through VIPXO ebay posts when I saw she had found a jupe on ebay and I literally jumped with joy. Nude wasn't my colour of choice but they had the black and the pink also so I decided that as soon as I was back from my holiday I would order them. 

The next week I was in TK MAXX searching for flip flops when another pair caught my eye. They were all black valentino style (heels not flip flops) but the studded straps where clear so the studs looked free standing. There was just one pair in my size so yes it was meant to be. I got them to the till and it was then I realised that they were £75. Much better than the £600 Valentino price tag but still a bit pricey the week before a 3 week trip to America. I put the shoes back and had a silent cry to myself as I left the store.

Anyway here comes the really good part. Whilst in America there was a shopping outlet that we visited quite regularly and on the second to last day I spotted these in the window of a small clothes shop. It was like the world around me stood still and all that was left was me and these shoes. All the other near misses with Valentino wanna be shoes had all been for a reason because these are the absolute dream and far from the plain Jane blacks and nudes which every other dupe was made up of.

Leopard print is one of my all time favourites and these shoes are just me on so many levels. They cost me $30 which works out about £18 so they were literally the biggest bargain and they are so so comfy as well - This is a big statement coming from who girl who supports 'airmax always'.

Here I am wearing them in bed because I love them so much and I am sure you would all love to look at them some more.

Work Life | Mid week mini series | The work saga: part 4 (1)

You may have noticed that last week there was no mid week post. This was due to me just returning back from holiday, going back to work and just pure jet lag!

Now this is a part of the work saga that I have really been looking forward to, which is probably why I have left it till one of the last 'parts'. This is the sort of outfits I wear day to day in the office.

Please excuse my poor quality images, this is probably why I don't do that many outfit posts! I live with all boys so have know one to take good quality photos for me! *cry*

This outfit looks loads better in person and just screams Cher Clueless. Both the shirt £15 and the skirt £20 are from H&M and are currently in stock.

I love that this skirt is a little bit different, it is made up from a tiny black and white dog tooth pattern giving it a grey finish and is high wasted for a more flattering finish.

The next outfit is this maroon colour shift dress from primark, I believe it was between £10 and £15 but it was purchased a while ago.

It is comfy and flattering and has just the right length sleeves and skirt to it to make it feel that bit more professional.

Taking photos is so so boring and time consuming! I don't know how some of you bloggers find the time and get them looking so pro!

I would usually throw a blazer on top if I was off to a meeting or event but when I'm just sat in the office I prefer not to wear them.
