Back To Reality

It's getting to that time of the year again when everyone starts making their way back to school, university or even work after a relaxing break.

The first day back always seems like the most important one which for most of us consists of standing in front of all our clothes for a ridiculous amount of time contemplating what to wear, or more importantly what not to wear.

Instead of making this mistake again, I thought I'd plan ahead and decide a few days in advance.

Dress: H&M
Blouse: Primark
Hair Bow: Topshop

The adorable cat dress paired with a simple blouse, gives a smart look with a hint of playfulness, which I thought would be perfect for the first day back. I bought this dress around this time last year and have pretty much worn it to death since. The neutral blouse was a purchase from a couple years back from good old trusty Primark. I find that adding a blouse, whether it be long sleeved or short sleeved with the collar done up to a dress this style creates a feminine geek-chic inspired look.

Shoes: H&M

I decided to add a leather jacket to complete the look (but let's be honest, it's actually a necessity in the typical British weather). The quilted detailing featured on the jacket enables the outfit to remain quite formal.
 
Bag: Primark




Of course little Rhubarb wanted to be part of all the fun (think the dress might have done it for her).
