HauTe Route: Cotton White

As someone once wisely said: "The only thing that separates us from animals is our ability to accessorize." No need to argue. We speak fashion.

Business Casual

So I started work a while ago (reason for blog neglect) and as a result my posts have been and will be less frequent but I will aim for at least two a week. Is that okay? Do I hear a "Yeah, that's fine"?! Good!

The dress code in my office is the business casual look and up until now I thought I knew exactly what that's supposed to look like. I guess not. The truth is I have an undying love for proper work wear i.e. suits, cotton shirts, pearls (for me... lol!), heels, etc. And in my new office that is a slightly overdressed look. So this collage is an attempt to nail the business casual look. I guess this is as simple as I can be for the business casual look. I did try. *insert bb 'not interested' smiley*

Quick update: So I've been working for 2 and a half months now and I have neglected the blog. Finally, I have gotten round to putting up a post. I will make an effort to be more consistent. I. Will. It feels so good to finally put up a post. Aaaaaaaah.... bliss.

So what do you think?

p.s: Has anyone checked out the shoe gallery at Selfridges. 5000 pairs of shoes on display and 100,000 in stock. One word: Orgasmic. Here is a pic of the entrance.
