Happy 2018 everyone!
Most of you, like myself will be returning to work this week. While I know we may be feeling a bit blue, the positive is we get to wear pretty makeup and stylish clothes. Can you tell I’m pulling at straws? haha!!
Today I wanted to share some of my work outfits to hopefully inspire you as you return to work. Obviously every workplace has a different dress code, but I’ve tried to cover quite a few options. At my workplace the dress code is Smart Casual, so here’s what I wear to work.
Outfit 1: Skirt and a Blazer
Blazers dress up any outfit. Great to layer on top of a t-shirt or shirt.
- Blazer- H&M
- T-shirt- Museum Clothing
- Skirt- H&M
- Shoes- Spurr Shoes
- Handbag- Celine
Outfit 2: Black Denim
While I can get away with Blue Denim at work, most workplaces don’t allow it. If you’re allowed to wear denim at work stick with black. It looks smarter and is more flattering 😉
- Blazer- Forever New
- Top- H&M
- Necklace- Kookai
- Jeans- Top Shop
- Belt- Gucci
- Handbag- Celine
- Shoes- Spurr Shoes
Outfit: Denim Skirt and a Jumper
With the weather being as sporadic as its been lately, its always good to keep some jumpers out just in case. Jumpers can easily look stylish when teamed up with a fitted denim skirt or jeans.
- Necklace- Country Road
- Jumper- Uniqlo (honestly, this is the comfiest jumper)
- Belt- Gucci
- Skirt- H&M
- Shoes- Rubi Shoes
Outfit: Dress
The dress options are countless. When it comes to work, I tend to choose comfortable loose fitting dresses that aren’t too short. One of my new faves is featured below. Its so comfy, makes me look presentable and honestly I received so many compliments (I was shocked!).
- Sunglasses- Gold Eyewear
- Dress- Only*
- Bag- Louis Vuitton
- Shoes- Witchery
Outfit 5: Bold Blazer
I’ve recently rediscovered some of my old bright blazers and I have to say I love teaming them up with jeans. Alternatively you can’t go wrong with a plain black, navy or grey blazer.
- Blazer- Zara
- Top- H&M
- Necklace- Kookai
- Jeans- Top Shop
- Belt- Gucci
- Handbag- Celine
- Shoes- Witchery
Also my last tip for you all is to keep a pair of heels at work. Heels instantly dress up any outfit.
New posts every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday!
Blazers do look so smart at work but I just can’t bring myself to wear one in Sydney’s recent hot weather.
I always forget to take it off before venturing outside at lunch time and then I either swelter or have to carry it around with me.
Happy 2018 Rachel!

Thank you! Blazers are an essential. I also think heels make me more confident but I don’t wear them every day.

You look amazing in each look Rachel!! I love the bold blazer and the all black look! We have a corporate uniform at work, which is helpful (don’t have to worry about what to wear to work each day) but I would love to rock some of those outfits for work!!
