I did some stair training after work so before I got changed into my exercise kit, I got one of my mates to take a few pics of me. I guess the office environment isn't really helping my cause much. Apologies for the closed eye shot below, but I thought you might be able to see the outfit a little clearer in that one.
I've always been a fan of the office chic look. When I was a kid, I dreamed of working in the city and dressing in cute office wear every day. I used to wear shirts and vests a lot when I was in my late teens and since that feels like yesterday to me, I guess maybe that's why I thought this look was quite normal for me and why it's so foreign to everyone else?
Anyway, moving on. I got both the dress and the top from Target. The dress is just a basic suit style dress and was stupidly cheap. I was expecting to pay $60 or more for it and was chuffed when it was only $30. The blouse is something I've been looking for for ages now but have had little luck in finding. You'd think a simple white blouse with capped sleeves and buttons to the top would be quite common but the style of late seems to be all 3/4 length sleeves and the open collar look.
I wanted the buttons to the top so I could wear one of the numerous neck ties I have. You can find them now on ebay for only a buck, and with free postage they're an absolute steal. I used to sell them at a market stall and back then they were never that cheap but they seem to have grown in popularity lately (you see them being sold at pop up jewellery stores all over now) so hence the price drop. They're actually for boys, but I find them cute and quirky. I wore my robot one and how can an outfit be boring with a robot tie??? I don't think it can!
