work attire #1

For normal days in the office I wear on-trend attire, like a nice buttoned up blouse with skinnies and heels etc... However on days where we're meeting potential new clients I like to step it up a notch and add a few years onto my outfits. I wore this the other day and felt so grown up! haha. 


The dress is from New Look, courtesy of my lovely Auntie who came round with a few dresses for me. Shoes are from a concession in Debenhams and the bag, Mulberry Bayswater.
Like I said yesterday, my mum is terrible at taking outfit photos, here is a prime example- top of head cut off. How hard is it!? 

Let's talk about work & uni. Recently all my friends have finished university, to be graduating officially in November (well done guys!), I've been in my job now for officially 13 months, and it's definitely been the best 13 months of my life, I've visited New York, LA & most recently the Cannes Film Festival, all paid for by my lovely boss. I really am a lucky girl. 
However, I'm currently degreeless... How much will this impact my future career I constantly wonder? Are any of you readers older and in the career you've always wanted or maybe happen to fall into, without a degree and this hasn't affected you in any way? Or have you come up against problems because of the lack of degree? Talk to me people :) 

XOXO AVS

Firstly you look amazing! I have such a strict unform dress code and I really wish I could wear something like this - FAB!

I'm 26 now and I left school after my GCSEs, no degree, not even an A Level. This hasn't ever effected me though. I've just worked my way up in a company and now I'm moving into another department which is a dream job for me. xoxo

So smart ;) Mondays are the only days where I make an effort, and it deteriorates from there hahah! So proud of you gal, I don't think a degree is needed in most pathways now, look at you! xxxx

You look gorgeous in your office ensemble.

As a graduate, i believe you are not disadvantaged because you don't have a degree. Trust me, the degree does not guarantee you a job and in most cases, your experience is actually much more important than the degree.

If you love the job you currently have and see a potential for you to grow further in the future, i say stick with it. The only time degrees are extremely important is in fields like medicine or engineering.

I am currently trying to look for jobs myself even though i am currently working part time
