Recycle? New Cycle? Outfit 2 -Thursday

Well here is workwear outfit number two. Very plain, but classic I'd say. This one is more new cycle than recycle. The top  I bought from Primark over the Christmas period. I love this top because its smart without being stuffy, I like the fact its chiffon and so its lightweight and ideal for office workers. I'm not sure whether you can tell from the pictures but its also double hemmed and so its quite floaty, the beaded cuffs are lush too. The trousers were from Evans are are the usual plainish black work trouser. Although I do love the fact that they have a slight bit of elasticated sides, so there is no discomfort from sitting at a desk all day. My shoes were also from the New Year sales, from Dorothy Perkins. Last but not least my fabulous headband is also from Primark. I adore the combination of pearl with feathers (I have a bit of a thing for headbands at the moment). Have a look at see what you think?

Like I said on my previous post I'm going to attempt a post a day (only for a week), showing a different outfit each day.   I'll even do one for Saturday and Sunday, so I show a couple of 'non' workwear items. Let me know what you think of the outfits :-)

Recycle? New Cycle?

As you may or may not know I have just recently (2 weeks ago), started back to work after being on maternity leave for 9 months. Believe me that on its own is a big enough shock to the system without the added hassle of finding clothes to wear for work, bearing in mind my clothes prior this gap were maternity clothes. 

Now I would have loved nothing more than to have gone out and bought a whole new wardrobe of work clothes, but being a single mother of two I couldn't really justify it financially. Therefore I decided to compromise, I bought couple of new items and then looked through the boxes and boxes of clothes I have stashed around the house. I was amazed to see just how many items I have which could still be classed as being 'in fashion'. This then inspired me to try and produce a post a day showing a different outfit I have recycled or bought new or mixed and matched. So here's the first one.. please excuse the picture quality as it was 6am this morning and my mum is only tiny so struggled to get a full length photo as I am practically giant like to her. Bless her...

Top - Dorothy Perkins (Includes belt) - Recycled from 2008 (I think)

Trousers - Evans - Bought this year in the new year sales

Like I said, I will try to do one post every day.... but we'll see how it pans out. Are you guys hoarders like me? Do you recycle your own clothes season after season? Maybe you could send me some pictures of your recycled outfits and I could show them in one of my next posts...

Lots of love
