Work clothes haul

Hello everyone

I start my new job next Wednesday....scary!
The company I am going to be working for is moving to brand new offices next year which will be a lot closer to where I live.   They are going to be based in a lovely part of the city too which will be really nice.
Yesterday I went shopping for new work clothes and this is my haul.

Topshop - Flippy hem tunic


Matalan - Peter Pan collar dress - I got 20% off this!


In New Look I had a 20% off voucher and I got this pinafore dress




and rosey coloured cardigan (probably not work attire but I loved the colour and it will go with so many of my dresses and tops)



In H&M I got this navy dress, this looks short on the model but as I am short it's just above the knee on me! I got £5.00 off this so it was only £7.99


In Primark I bought:

White peter pan collar blouse - will wear with a white vest top under



White jumper & pink jumper


Two skinny belts


I am really loving Matalan at the moment.   Their homeware is just fabulous and not too expensive.  Whilst I was in there buying the peter pan dress I also bought this bath mat.  Its so lovely with the diamontes around the edge. It may look a bit chavvy but we have a lovely new bathroom and it looks fabulous in there.


Also in Primark I bought these vanilla tea lights






I think I am pretty ok for work clothes as I already have quite a few pairs of boots and ballet pumps I will also wear.
Plus I have a few smart work skirts and other dresses I can wear to work and a few blouses and shirts so I think that will do me for a while.

  2. You got some really nice things there! I have the navy H&M dress, along with a grey one too and I love it. I often jazz them up a bit with an animal print belt or shoes too!
    Also I agree about Matalan homeware, I have just bought 2 gorgeous cushions from them which were more than twice as much elsewhere!
    ps my birthday is 11th! Do I remember rightly yours is a couple of days after? What are you planning in doing for yours? Xxx Maddie
