Working Wardrobe

Yesterday, I appeared in Brinja's What I Wore This Week feature - check out the original post here. Brinja is one of my favourite blogs, I love a peak into her world and especially love the photographs of her gorgeous shop and little doll house she is constructing which is based on her own home.

I work in a fairly conservative office where business suits really should be the norm. But as I shudder at the very thought of 'business suits', I spend most days hunting through my dress collection and hope for the best that this will not be the day I get pulled up on my 'dress-code'. So I thought I would post my working week wardrobe that featured on Brinja's blog here too.


Monday

H&M green print dress ❖ John Lewis cream tights ❖ M&S green shoes ❖ Reiss mushroom bag

Tuesday

Top Shop black dress ❖ H&M black tee shirt ❖ Gucci silver buckle belt ❖ Tabio 110 dernier black tights ❖ Russell & Bromley patent studded bag & flats

Wednesday

Ebay vintage cream dress ❖ M&S cream slip ❖ H&M black & gold belt ❖ Tabio 110 dernier black tights ❖ Salvatore Ferragamo vintage bow pumps ❖ Gucci bag

Thursday

Urban Buzz silk dress ❖ Accessorize bow belt ❖ Tabio polka tights ❖ Luella lilac bag ❖ Miu Miu pink buckle shoes

Friday
Blue Inc heart dress ❖ Tabio 110 dark grey tights ❖ Top Shop pink suede shoes ❖ Gucci bag

You wear so many nice dresses to work, you must be the best dressed employee there:)

Leah said...

I love all your outfits... my fave is your Wednesday dress... plus the bag and the shoes too. xoxo

Those outfits are really nice, I wish you luck on not getting pulled up on the dresscode, it would be a shame for you to have to change your style just for work...

You have the best eye for piecing these beautiful outfits together. The other girls that work with you must be constantly jealous of your amazing dress collection!! (I know I would be!)

I know exactly what you mean about suits - I hate them! Always feel frumpy in them! I too wear dresses but tend to be boring and go for LBDs - yours are fabulous!! xx

Sherin said...

Great looks! I always get stuck when it comes to dressing for work: I don't like buisiness suits either! These are a great inspiration!

Becky said...

Lovely dresses, I want to pick a favourite but like all of them! The Miami Peach polish isn't that bright but it's lovely for Summer.

Lolla said...

business suits are really boring and uninspiring. i love your dresses, especially the black and the lacy one from ebay. i would buy dresses from ebay if i could trust the size would be correct. i also love your studded bag, please post more photos of it, it's gorgeous. :)

Schnappy said...

Hi! I love Tuesday clothes! :)

Bucca said...

such a freaking cute work week! love these outfits!

Maria Ana said...

Amazing! I think exactly like you, if I had to wear business suits everyday...ahh I feel clothes are a reflection of our personality and that hiding our style doesn't do good to our work as we can't be completely comfortable and therefore do our best.

Stéphanie said...

Yu've got the perfect wardrobe !

Imogen said...

Wow I am amazed by these outfits , each one is truly stunning. I like the first outfit the most, you look beautiful.

Winnie said...

Oh I love all your outfits, hopefully when I finally get a job (looming fast) then I can wear some pretty dresses...I shudder at the thought of having to wear really formal suits! Love that last dress, matches perfectly with your Gucci bag!

OneCraftyFox said...

Your first outfit is soooooo awesome!

I'm having a giveaway on my blog right now. The item has sort of vintage-y vibe, thought you might be interested... :)

Dotti said...

Dear Paula, how lovely you were featured at Brinja's blog – the little cropped photos of you look like paper dolls...
I adore Brinja's "What x wore" posts and felt so honoured when she asked me back in November:
