Friday Wishlist: Summer outfit at work!


This week was the first week that I've really felt what it's like to work in an office during the sun! Being a recent graduate ( I say recent, it's been nearly a year now!) I'm used to spending this time of year revising in the garden and chilling back with floaty dresses, sandals and barely there make  up. However, now that I'm a fully fledged adult with a 9-5 job and everything, it's not quite as acceptable to rock up to work wearing a baggy tee and some denim shorts! 

So, my latest shopping buys have mainly consisted of lightweight clean cut tops, delicate dresses and cigarette trousers - which all work perfectly in the summer sun at work. I've picked out some items that are ideal for a day at the office in the sun, whilst still ensuring you stay on top of the latest trends!

How would you style them?

Summer loving

It's not everyday we get some sun in Wales so when we do, it's almost as if it's some sort of festival which we celebrate. Everyone takes to the streets in their summer clothes - floral dresses, vests ( oh boy) and flip flops are a regular here. There are areas of the valley which become completely overwhelmed by summer sun lovers - from the local and legendary ice cream shop which creates the most amazing boat trays filled with flavours that your mouth can only dream of, to the local beer garden and the park greens. What do I do? Well, even though I'm not a natural red head, you'd be forgiven for thinking differently. My body reacts to the sun by turning a peachy shade of pink. I also get sick. Yup, no joke. Today however I'm fighting back by sitting in the boy's garden with Vogue in one hand and a trilby in the other. The sun won't beat me today. Oh and do you like my dress? Picked it up yesterday ready for the sun! A beaut of a buy for £12.99 Enjoy your day lovelies.
