Since staring my new job there's been a lack of usual Outfit Posts, because I'm always rushing for the early metro.
But I love doing Outfit Posts, so I'm going to make an effort to get out of the house five minutes earlier to take a decent picture or two.
When I'm in the office, I have to slightly tone down my look - most of my skirts and cullotes are a bit too short for my liking for a professional environment, so I end up wearing dark jeans most of the time.
In every situation though, my outfit does still have to reflect my personality and be a little offbeat.
The tanktop is quite 'Office Gal' - but the animal prints give it a bit of a punky twist.
(You can see how much I love animal print in my previous post!)
TOP: Can't remember.
TANKTOP: George @ Asda.
CARDIGAN: Primark.
JEANS: New Look.
NECKLACE: Miss Selfridge.
WATCH: D&G.
BAG: River Island.
SHOES: Dorothy Perkins.
As I'm currently still a student covering a main job, I can still get away with the jeans.
IF I end up staying on longer than September, I'm going to have to switch to black work pants. Boo!
But people at work don't seem to mind at the moment.
I wore my Barbie necklace from Sunday Girl Accessories a few times last week, and when I was making my coffee a nice lady from another department told me she liked it!
It's been a lovely weekend - me and Rachel went to a 1940s event yesterday, but I'll be posting all about that tomorrow as I haven't touched up the photos yet.
Also, I've been taking photos for the Scavenger Hunt contest over at Loving The Reflection, so may share them with you guys too.
It's a VERY creative contest, and it's funny as people can interpret it in many different ways. I definately recommend getting involved!
Muchos love,
MessyCarla.
Love the cardigan!
ReplyDeleteCute! I love your cardigan...I almost didn't notice the zebra print at first. :)

I love this outfit, and the way you mixed two animal print is brilliant. I think flats and cardigans are the best way to wear animal print.
ReplyDeletecute outfit! love the stripes with the zebra print.
ReplyDeleteOh, I really love this outfit. Anything that mixes pink & green - & of course, plenty of patterns - is an absolute winner in my book. Looks very work-worthy too!
ReplyDeleteLove the shoes and the bag.
