Trying to look smart

Biker Coat - H&M

Bag - Zara

Tartan Scarf - Urban Outfitters

Necklace - H&M Kids

Dress - New Look

Cutout Boots - Zara

I had my induction today for my new job & got this dress from New Look thinking it's smart & business like so I should be ok to wear it. It has capped sleeves, the right length. Turns out nope we're not allowed to wear patterned things which I think it's really stupid considering they're not providing us with uniforms. The dress code is really strict which I don't think it should be since they're not providing it. I don't see what is wrong with this dress as if I worked in an office or business I would be fine to wear it & it's in the smart work wear section of the store. I know my boots maybe aren't the most professional looking with the cutout detailing & the buckles but really I don't understand why I can't get away with this outfit!

I've only worn this dress today but there's a rip at the bottom the seam has made a slit so I'm going to have to take it back. Not sure whether I want to exchange it as it's one of them annoying dresses that doesn't have elastic, a zip, or any form of opening making it really hard to get in & out of! The head isn't even that big either & that's the only way into it. Before you think the dress is too small for me which is why it's ripped it's not as the rip is at the bottom of the dress which has nothing to do with getting it on or off just bad stitching!

Office Wear

I did a 4 week placement in an office to get some work experience. It wasn't great I did nearly walk away after the first week as I wasn't gaining anything from it since there was nothing for me to do. But I thought I might as well stick with it hopefully it'll get better. Luckily I did cos on the second week I had company! Bukunmi was on placement with me for the rest of the placement so I wasn't alone & did make it a lot more enjoyable even when some of the tasks we were given were crap at least we had each other.

Some of the staff we kinda treating us as their own personal assistant to do all the rubbish tasks they didn't want to do themselves. But most of them were really nice.

These are some of the outfits I wore to work. It was a pretty casual office you didn't have to be suited & booted but just smart no jeans, t-shirts, shorts the usual.
