Something old, something new

When I first started working about three years ago, I bought a whole new wardrobe of blazers, pencil skirts and long-sleeve button downs.  Three days of running around in the hot sun in my new heels and I realised those outfits just weren't going to fly on this job.

So I went back to the stores, made a complete about turn and bought an excess of plain cotton shirts and frumpy cargo pants.  Yeah, kind of extreme, right.


Today, I'd like to think I straddle the line with a bit of both.  A couple of days ago though, I thought I'd take the cargos out for a walk and make them more feminine with a floral blouse.  I'm kind of liking them again!

Cargo pants - Giordano.  Floral blouse - New Look.  Shoes - Image Turn.

Necklace - Accesorize.  Cuff - River Island Men.  

People don't believe me when I tell them the pants come from Giordano, but it's true.  They have some really funky stuff if you take the time to go through it and at good prices too.
