White Jacquard Tee- Primark // Leather Quilted Skirt- Primark // Vintage Gold Necklace- Napier // Black Snakeskin Flatforms- Office Outlet Ebay
Smart-Casual- The two words that can start or end your career before you even step foot into the office and nervously sit opposite a potential employer. A juxtapositional nightmare that has you tearing through your closet in desperate search of fashion's answer to Switzerland. A neutral attire- not too smart, not too casual. The world would be a simpler place if it was acceptable to roll up to an interview in a pair of sweatpants, a bralet and a pair of Birkenstocks thrown on. After looking like you arrived straight from a jumble sale, you no doubt would not get the job. Fashion has a major role in our presentation of ourselves, which sounds kind of obvious... but it is definitely worth noting that a bad choice of footwear can make or break you. At the other end of the spectrum, we have the suited and booted individuals that look as though they'd cry if anything some much as touched their crisp white shirts, pretty intimidating and a bit much for the smart-casual dress code. 27 minutes and 9 outfits later I landed on a white jacquard tee, leather quilted skirt and black snakeskin flatforms. This monochrome style was exactly what I needed, there is nothing smarter than black and white but the t-shirt and leather still gave this outfit that casual edge. The added touch of a pink lipstick kept with the minimalist vibes but added a bit of femininity. What I love about this outfit is the contrast of different textures to add difference where colour lacked, and of course the flatforms were a must for a bit of height and a bit of confidence.
