If you've had a chance to read yesterdays post, you will now be familiar with capsule wardrobes and how they work. Today's post will further expand on this topic. Workwear has always and will always be about pulling together your basic items from your capsule wardrobe and adding in 'trends' that complete the look to stop it from being boring! Let's be honest, no one has the budget or the time for a new work outfit everyday, so it's important to be creative and find new ways of making similar looks fresh and new.
I'd like to share two affordable looks that can be sourced from retailers within the centre. Both looks use items that you should find in your capsule wardrobe (your basics) combined with trend pieces. These looks are based on my workwear tip of adding colour for summer, so be bold and ditch the black on black ensemble.
My first look combines a classic and 'safe' combination of black slim fit pants teamed with a white shirt, both are from Sussan. To keep the look on trend I have added a colourful twist to what is a timeless ensemble. I have combined a necklace, ring and a bag in bright tangerine orange from Colette, to make the whole look pop. The heels are from Freelance Shoes, which are a suitable work height. I love these as they are on trend with their digital print and neon ankle strap (straps are great for support). This is a perfect look for women of all ages, shapes and sizes providing you get the correct fitting pants. A new way to bring a classic work look back to life.
My second look uses an on trend digital print wrap dress from W-lane, with its high neckline and appropriate length it's a great staple piece for this season. I have used a black Colette tote (which should be in every girls capsule wardrobe), as well as a black geometric designed necklace also from Colette. For shoes I have included a few colour options of the same style, all of which are from Freelance. I want to show you just how versatile print dresses can be when adding colours and how many options you have as to which colours you use.
TIP- while these looks do not include sunglasses, one should always carry a pair with them for use to and from work. UV protection and style, double win! My best stores for Summer shades in the centre are Glue Store and Sportsgirl, both stock a wide range of affordable on trend colours and shapes!
