We’ve all had those mornings when we haven’t decided what to wear to work, we’re running late and we suddenly stare at our closet full of clothes and think, “I have nothing to wear” (note the Sex and the City reference? I’m almost done with all the seasons!) With autumn very much here and winter hinting that it’s closer than we think (it’s something like 70 odd days to Christmas?) trying to figure out office outfit ideas only gets more and more challenging. Recently, a lot of my girlfriends have been mentioning how much harder it is to decide on a cute workwear outfit when it’s cold outside. That’s why today I’m going to be sharing a quick and chic outfit formula that you can always fall back on, no matter the morning.

When I’m in doubt, I always reach for a combination that is tried and tested; high waisted trousers and a chic sweater. This combination might sound simple but it’s an outfit that just keeps giving. What I love the most about this formula is that you can repeat it almost every day and it will still look different. On one day you can go for a totally tonal look like I have here with beige and white (or any two colours, depending on the colour of your trousers). On another day, you could mix your high waisted trousers with a fitted turtleneck, and on another day you could throw in a burst of colour with a patterned sweater or oversized knit. Do you catch my drift?

It always helps to have an outfit to fall back on, almost like a uniform that you know you will always look chic in but don’t forget about your accessories! Although for work you may want to swap out this bag for a more subtle one and ditch the beret, you can still add in some dainty necklaces and some gold earrings. Don’t be afraid to add a touch of personality and shine to your look. I guarantee you’ll be the most stylish woman in the office!

Is this an outfit formula you could fall back on for work? Where do you look for work outfit ideas?

It’s no secret that plaid is the official print for autumn and winter and is also a major autumn winter 2018 trend. Whether you opt for big checks (think vintage Burberry that’s making a comeback), tartan or the traditional plaid you know and love, you know it’s a print that will never fail you. You all know that skirts are my favourite pieces to style, but I’m also a big fan of a great pair of trousers, specifically a good pair of plaid trousers. Today, I wanted to share a great styling tip with you for wearing your favourite plaid pants.

When styling plaid, don’t be afraid to add in different versions of the print into one outfit. I always find that my plaid outfit looks more inspired when I add in another piece in the pattern. Don’t be discouraged if the two pieces are not an exact match, the mismatch effect is actually quite cool and makes this cute autumn outfit look effortless. I styled my Topshop plaid trousers with my & Other Stories check blazer.

If you live in a warmer country, you can wear the look with a blouse like the one I have on here from Kitri. I love the beautiful puffy sleeves and the ruching detail down the centre. If you’re already gearing up for the winter though, why not try it with the sweater version of my top from Chriselle Lim’s latest collection. You can also reach for your trust white turtleneck for this look and jazz it up with some chunky gold necklaces or dainty layered ones.

How To Wear Your Favourite Plaid Skirt In The Spring

Plaid is trending this spring and here’s how to wear it…

When you’re thinking about summer outfits, you aren’t always thinking about plaid but if runway fashion has shown us anything, it’s that plaid is very much an all year round thing! I’ve always loved a good plaid skirt, and if you are a regular reader of my blog you would have noticed this for sure. Just last week, I shared an asymmetrical skirt that was, of course, a summer plaid print! I am all about making the most of the pieces in your wardrobe, and today I want to share a super chic plaid skirt outfit that you can wear this summer.

I paired my plaid skirt with a simple silk white cami and a cropped black blazer. The blazer is such an elegant shape and it made the perfect pairing with this skirt. It really makes the whole outfit look so much more luxe. I also love how the belt detailing on the blazer added a bit of shape to my silhouette and really helped define my waist! The two paired together make for an ultra high fashion look, even though the pieces are a mix of premium and high street fashion! (For more tips on how to make your outfit look expensive, check out this post!)

Something about this elegant summer outfit felt very retro and vintage to me. It’s the perfect look to rock on a day you are feeling most in touch with your inner Audrey Hepburn (WWAW – What Would Audrey Wear?). I completed the outfit with my favourite embroidered flats. The pointed toe on the flats makes me look taller even though I’m not wearing any heels. That’s a great tip I’ve picked up over the years and works very well if you’re petite like me! (For more tips on how to look taller in your outfit, check out my post on it here!)

How will you be bringing your favourite plaid skirt into summer?
