A new job = what to wear??

Wow what a weekend. So glad to see so many people entering the watch competition and thanks to all the lovely new followers!!

Tomorrow I start my new job at a fashion magazine. This causes a bit of a conundrum, WHAT TO WEAR!?!?! As I said in my recent post about Topshop, I can’t actually buy any new clothes apart from those in charity shops (see here for more www.thatcharitystyle.com) so I will be buying in my imagination!

With the new job I need some new work clothes. Despite me not being able to actually buy these here is what I would wear to work tomorrow if I could (and if I was rich!). This week my outlet of choice is ASOS.

First I would start with these belted soft peg trousers (found here). I think they are the perfect mix between formal and casual without going as far as slouching in in jeans! I love the colour and I am definitely into the high-waisted thing at the moment. It makes everything look so much more stylist and elegant.

The thing with trousers like these is that the shoes are now very important. They don’t come quite down to the ankle and so you have the opportunity to show off some great heels. Black would be too harsh with these trousers, so, like in the pic above I have gone for some brown ones. As this is imaginary work wear I am also imagining I would actually be able to walk in these… (found here).

So next let’s go for the top. It has to be something plain and something light. A blouse is the perfect look with high-waisted trousers. I love the Pussybow Blouse on the site but with the belt on the trousers there would be too much going on. Instead I have gone for this high-neck button shoulder blouse, found here. 

So now almost ready for my first day, I just need a bag. I have become a snob when it comes to bags. Even though I could never afford it I favour he designer bags and as this is my imagination I don’t mind if I do! I would choose the Ally Capellino satchel, available here.

And there it is, my perfect work outfit! This is what I would be wearing, now to actually go find the clothes I will really be wearing…
