Back To Work…

Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman
Okay so I actually went back on Friday but I don’t feel like a 1-day working week really counts. Today is the day of dread, when absolutely everyone goes back to work, and the tube is a nightmare. 
But why make it this way, why not make it a new era – one of my resolutions is to make a conscious effort in my work outfits this year. When I’m really busy, I tend to get a bit lazy with my style, often opting for an easy look of skinny jeans, trainers and a jumper. Although this may not look ‘that’ different, it feels a bit more ‘put together’ (yet still me). Bring on 2014:
Hat: bought in Stockholm. Jumper: £44.99 in the sale at Gap. Coat: Cos. Shirt: Uniqlo. Jeans: Asos (see the new version here). Boots: Office (similar here). Bag: Bulgari (gift through work)
A decent boot with a good tread is essential for the winter. This is the first time I’ve needed to bring out these boots, I’ve had them for over 2 years and they still look brand new. I love these chunky ones on the site, with a very ‘now’ Grenson-like chunky crepe sole:
Leather boots, £120, Poste mistress at Office

      His website is launching this month – there's a facebook page in the meantime – it's an idea we set up after not being able to find anything right for our wedding video! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lucky-No-13/673964765982192 – by the way, I did not do that link on purpose!!! 🙂 but glad it was at least useful!
