Revenge Friday: Work outfits and Day Out in Marylebone

 Hello darlings x

I hope you are really well. I have been away for a little bit because I have been busy with some career planning and also I have had the worst PMS, I am not going to lie. Other than that I haven't been up to too much exciting. I did go to an exhibition at the Tate about Leigh Bowery, which was quite interesting, although maybe a little bit lost on me; I was excited to see this exhibition because I was really keen to learn more about him. 

Work Outfits?

I have recently needed to build my work wardrobe and I have been doing some googling regarding what to wear; it is a business formal dress code. Shoes are sorted tbh... I have a few options of shoes I can wear. I have created a board on Pinterest of outfit ideas. 

I have been googling like what Amal Clooney wears to work, because she seems like someone with her shit together. I am also lusting over the shoes on Sororite Vintage instagram page, they do some lovely designer stilettos, loafers and gorgeous Chanel two tone slingbacks which would be soo nice for work- inspo only because they are really expensive. 

I think Alice bands are quite nice for work and I have a couple which would be nice to wear, but if anyone knows of any good brands that sell Alice bands, please let me know because I fancy getting another one in black (I had one... it went mouldy).

But let me know, if you have a similar dress code for work, where you shop and what you wear.

Day out in St Johns Wood

On my day off, on Tuesday, I went to St Johns Wood. It was really lovely weather. I had a browse of the charity shops hoping I would be able to pick up some pieces for work and then I grabbed a spinach pastry and drink from a deli which I ate in Regents Park. Actually I heard a car crash while I was sat in a park; no one was hurt but someone has lost a section of their wrought iron fence. Then I continued to Marylebone to look around the charity shops there.

I didn't buy anything from any of the charity shops; I think sometimes it is helpful to go charity shopping with a second pair of eyes. I then walked to Jeremyn Street where I brought two shirts. I had a really nice day out.

Okay these are the outfits... just picture my hair not being a puffy mess, the shirts being ironed and me wearing the shoes rather than holding them in a very awkward manner x

The bottoms are from mango and I love these; I want to get a pair in navy too but they have sold out in my size- I am so hoping they get restocked.

I purchased the skirt from a charity shop, it is Isabel Marant and the heels are from M&S.

I will defo be back with you soon for another blogpost. I hope you have a fabulous week.

Love 

Happy hippo x
