It's just another Manic Monday (oh whey oh) and I spent at least ten minutes this morning in a daze, gazing at my wardrobe and willing it to produce the perfect outfit in some Jetson-style holographic.
It didn't happen so I gave in and rummaged until I found a clean dress and a blazer that wasn't quite as crumpled as last week's Lotto ticket.
Yes, it's time I gave my workwear wardrobe a promotion with some new sleek separates and power dresses.
Gone are the days when the uniform of the working woman was a polyester suit, paired with a simple shirt and minimal jewellery. Sure, suits are still around but now we have them in feminine cuts, with tailoring that allows for curves. Workwear has left its oft drab origins, and bright colours, chunky jewellery and luxurious fabrics are now all on the agenda.
So grab a coffee and check out our favourite workwear pieces from the high street. From tailored trousers to pencil skirts, we mean business.
