. SECOND FEMALE .
It’s officially blue Monday, the worst day of the year apparently. I have to say with my work situation & a dodgy train journey this morning, blue Monday is certainly set to live up to all it’s expectations. One way to make blue Monday a little less blue is by adding a drop of colour into your work uniform. Colour always helps boost your mood & power dressing subconsciously helps you believe you can take on anything.
. Second Female Dress . Reiss Coat £295 (now in sale) . Topshop Patent Shoes £50.
This outfit is a perfect solution to the dreaded Monday … a work outfit (or just a chic evening look) that gives your mood a little oomph and brings a little colour into your life. There are some days in the office where your work colleague plan on holding an event for a charity, which initially means every member of staff is issued an item to wear to promote the company. Promotional Clothing is what the boss calls it. The plus side of this is that you don’t need to spend as much time thinking of an outfit idea if you know this is what you’ll be wearing all day. And if everyone is wearing it, it isn’t too bad.
When it comes to my style though, yy work style is the same as my everyday style, I don’t have a specific work uniform but I do always love to wear a chic dress or pencil skirt look if I have a big meeting that day. I have quite a large selection of work suitable dresses, this Second Female one is a new addition to my wardrobe & a an easy way to wear leather to work.
I’m always searching for dresses that can double up for work and evening wear & i think Hobbs have a beautiful collection of office dresses. They’ve got a some seriously chic well tailored dresses which are equally as smart for work as they are on trend for a cute party look. The Heba dress is one of my favourite LBD’s Hobbs sells and is the perfect work wear / evening chic dress. Having referenced the dresses, its the Hobbs boots that really steal my heart … i’m currently developing a mild obsession over their ankle boots. My wishlist is currently resting on a worrying 3 ankle boots (The Harper, The Otto & The Dylan). Swoon.
What’s your workwear style? Do you have a typical work & weekend wardrobe or are you more like me?
I LOVE your coat! Gorgeous outfit :)

LOVELY! love all of it.
Great idea, I didn’t realise today was supposed to be Blue Monday, but I’m wearing a bright red dress to work today anyway!
I’m currently trying to move away from having a “work wardrobe” and a “home wardrobe” – it’ll take up less space!
I love the coat and the shoes! you look amazing! xx

I tend to go for pants. Taking my work trousers and styling them wit sneakers and a crew neck sweatshirt to make them more casual for school or weekend.

“Colour always helps boost your mood & power dressing subconsciously helps you believe you can take on anything.” – I agree. Studies have shown that the right color choices in the workplace can dramatically improve employee attitude, increase productivity, and even reduce the number of filed sick days. However, we can’t ignore the fact that each employee has different preferences. While others can stick to their company uniform, it’s advisable to add some shade of your favorite colors to improve your mood and look through accessories, say blazers or cardigan jackets. :)
