Back to work outfit with Simply Be

There have been a few culture shocks for me since I started my new job. Swapping the life of a freelance blogger to work in a school is strange, not least because there is a dress code at work. I’ve swapped my mum uniform of jeans and jumper for interview smart which has been a bit of a shock. Thankfully Simply Be came to my rescue, offering me the chance to style an outfit for my Autumn wardrobe.

Autumn is easily my favourite season. I love wearing layers, going for walks in the woods and watching the trees changing colour, then coming home to a delicious home cooked meal. As part of their Autumn challenge I picked a gorgeous pair of Chelsea boots in camel. I’ve never owned Chelsea boots before but I need smart shoes for work and these will help me transition my wardrobe through Autumn to Winter. The Florence Chelsea Boots are really comfortable too, which is a bonus as I’m on my feet all day. They will also go with most items in my wardrobe!

 

I live in jeans so it’s been hard to wear smart trousers every day. I took the opportunity to try something a little different with the long sleeve shirt dress. It’s gorgeous floral pattern is perfect for work. I chose to pair it with stretch black leggings as this is smart but casual too. It’s so important to be comfortable at work and it’s a great length with long sleeves and a cute tie waist belt.

 

This is a lovely outfit for work and I can’t wait to wear it next week. As the weather is getting so much colder the final item I chose was a reversible crinkle scarf in navy and grey. I love the constellation pattern and have been getting lots of compliments about it.
