The New New New Basics

26/07/2016neckerchief, style, updated basics, wardrobe staples

Fail-safe summer essentials that you probably already have lurking in your wardrobe somewhere

We all have those “what the fuck do I wear to work?” days. In fact, mine span practically every Monday-Friday morning. It usually happens somewhere between rolling out onto bed on the floor and looking up at two looming clothes rails creaking under the pressure of a billion pairs of jeans, then panic-picking a handful of things before piling them into my gym bag. The best part (aka worst part by a million miles) is getting ready for work after training and realising what you’ve packed makes you resemble a flight attendant/ girl scout/ grandma combination. Or a Barbie (both of these scenarios have been all too real) There’s no turning back. Your choices are show up in the office looking like an idiot, or turn up in the office wearing a sweaty gym kit. So in the interest of offending only one of my colleagues senses as opposed to two (because girl, a gym kit does not smell nor look like a bag of roses) I’ll stroll in dressed like chose my outfit whilst half asleep. Oh wait, I did…

That’s where it helps to have some failsafe outfit formulas for mornings where you really really don’t want to think. For summer, I’ve repurposed a basic white T-shirt and blazer jacket with a simple denim mini and a neckerchief. Cute, casual, works every time. See you at 8:30am in the office, not looking like a total dick.

    Every morning I literally have what to wear panic then spend about half my day thinking I wish I'd worn that instead! You've picked some great basics. x

Valentine’s Day: do you do anything for it (even Valentine’s Day: do you do anything for it (even a card, an acknowledgement of it) or do you just live it like any other day? It’s not something that bothers me really but I said to Jimmy “it would be nice to get some flowers though” - he replied by asking me when actually is Valentine’s Day. Lol. So... bets are on. Who thinks I’ll be getting flowers on Valentine’s Day 😂?

Don’t worry I’ll just be sitting here patientl Don’t worry I’ll just be sitting here patiently waiting for summer so I can enjoy my walks in the park in these sandals 🥺 but seriously, my chanel sandals have been the best investments I’ve made. They’re about the only shoes I wear in spring summer. Until then, I guess I’ll be wearing them as slippers 🥴
Denim and leather - the ultimate staples 🙊 I ca Denim and leather - the ultimate staples 🙊 I can’t remember the last time I wore jeans that didn’t have this 90s style fit! I’m hopefully going to be organising my walk-in wardrobe today and I can’t wait to get it all sorted and organised!
