Work Wear: Khaki Greens & Black Leigh Jeans




I'm quite lucky in the respect that Gleam has a really laid back attitude to what you wear to work. Obviously I think they might have something to say if I swanned in sporting hot pants, stiletto's and a crop top (not a good look for any occasion) but I still like to look smart and sophisticated when I can. That's where raiding the aisles of Zara come in...

At the weekend I picked up this Khaki Green Silk Shirt from Zara, I'd been looking for something like this for quite some time as I find khaki to really suit my colouring. Matched up with my go to black leigh topshop jeans and a pair of heel boots and I'm good to go. 

Oh, and I had to feature my new coat yet again, it's B-E-A-UTIFUL.

What are your work wear staple items?

  5. Love the coat and the shirt is really lovely too. I love khaki, especially in A/W! The colour really suits you :) I've recently changed job, I used to have to dress quite formally a lot of the time but now I can dress smart/casual which is great! x

  13. I love this outfit, got to agree with you the Khaki Green does suit you! Will have to try and find the shirt for myself! Love your coat also, my sort of style with the grey and the loose tailoring!

  14. My work is also pretty lax when it comes to attire. I like wearing cute clothes though. I wear skirts a lot and cute little blazers a lot to work. And a good lipstick! ALWAYS a good lipstick! <3
