Outfit of the Day – “Work Chic”

Hi kittens!

Today’s Outfit of the Day is a bit different. I thought I would show you a typical outfit I would wear to work, especially for office work. Heels and dresses at work aren’t for everyone but I love how professional they look, given the dress is of correct length! Not quite “sexy secretary” (cringin’ hell) but I still think its definitely chic and a great way to be able wear trends in the workplace”.

This dress is from MissPap and as I state in the video, I think it could definitely be worn both in the workplace and on a night out. The peplum silhouette is something I’m really into at the moment – despite my initial hesitations its definitely very flattering and helps to give the illusion of a curvy hourglass figure. Perfect for all vintage lovers, I feel!
The monochrome colours are really in right now, too. I feel this is a good take on the monochrome stripes trend. I’ve not really taken to the whole black and white stripes fashion so I feel this is a great way to remain monochrome through block colours, which is why I chose to wear these black New Look wedges with them and my black frame glasses. Another way to wear this dress would be to pair it with some bright heels – maybe red or pink – for a colour pop and then coordinate your accessories with it, maybe even a bright blazer or clutch bag!
I also love the necklace I’m wearing. I haggled for it from Camden Market in London and I just think it is so special and unusual! I feel like a 1930s gentlemen when I wear it (strange, but we’ll go with it). It also helps to tie in with the glasses to create that workplace atmosphere, as well as adding a bit of uniqueness and edge to an otherwise quite plain outfit.
Please let me know what you think and check out where I got the items below!
