work attire #4 : Leather Collar Worker

Finally settling into my new job, it is VERY different from my old one. For a start I can have an extra few hours lay in thanks to the 20 minute drive to work opposed to the 1.5 hour train joruney to work!

 

The office is much more casual than my previous job so my outfits are due to get more relaxed as I go on! In my first week I wore skirts, lots of black and heels. I'm currently sitting here in a big chunky knit jumper and jeans!

 

A HUGE thank you to you lovely 200 girls who now follow my blog. It only took me 2 years to reach this milestone but we did it! Thanks girls!

I'm going to do a post on my amazing holiday to Marrakech next week, sadly losing my tan wah wah wahhh.

 

Anywho, thanks again for following/reading/commenting, XOXO AVS 

 

work attire #3

Sleepless in Seattle. Tuesday night I got ZERO sleep, was so bloody tired at work, so last night I ended up sleeping for 12 hours!!!! Was so shocked when I woke up! This is my work outfit from yesterday. It was a more casual, fun outfit. I probably wouldn't wear this to a meeting, but would to a work event. If it was sunnier, I would swap the black accessories for something a bit brighter (no tights of course!)

From top to toe:

Leather Jacket - H&M

Dress - Zara

Tights & Belt - Primark 

Wedges - Debenhams

Bag - Mango

Watch - ASOS

Today is my day of working from home so no work outfit tomorrow... My day will consist of  watching tonnes of CSI (and other similar shows) I think I'm obsessed with them! After the normal girly shows- Revenge, Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries etc... I just love a gritty bit of gruesome tv! CSI, NY, Miami, NCIS, The Mentalist, Law and Order... I could go on all day! Anyone else got a secret love for crime solving shows? haha. 

I just mentioned Revenge, you're watching it right?! I started watching it and got so obsessed I was a naughty girl and watched all of them online, BUT I do still watch them on a Monday on E4 with my friend! Everything about it is so good, especially Ashley's wardrobe, I'm in love with Ashley Madekwe. Check out her blog. It's to die for! 

Sorry for all the TV talk, I really have no life right now, all it consists of is work/gym/eat/lay in bed watching tv/sleep, then do it all again! Enjoy your day! XOXO AVS

work attire #2

Bonjour ladies!

Getting straight into it today- here is an example of my usual work outfit. As you may recall, last week I posted a work outfit where I was trying to exude (is that the right word?) a 'grown up' work look. Today's work look is a rather casual and normal look for me, almost my uniform. On event days I am required to wear a dress to events, so I am constantly on the hunt for new LBD’s, if you have recently found any gorgeous and work appropriate work LBD’s then don’t be afraid to link them to me.

It's that bloody bun, again!

My uniform, from head to toe: 

Bun mesh ring/doughnut thing- primark

Shirt- H&M

Blazer- Dorothy perkins

High waisted jeans- Topshop

Shoes- Debenhams

Watch (with inter changeable straps)- ASOS

I see outfits uploaded on blogs every day and don’t get me wrong I love them and find them so inspiring for every day life, but I would LOVE to see your work outfits!!!! I recently saw a feature in one of the womens might have been weeklys, may have been monthlys mags, on work outfits, and it actually featured my lovely blog friend Mish, from Daisybutter!!!

Please link me to any of you workwear posts, I’m always looking for inspiration. XOXO AVS.

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 :)
