What I Wore #38

Hello my lovelies!

Trying to get back into the swing of blogging again, although I can't promise it will be the same as it was when I was at uni - I start my first job on Wednesday and will no doubt take a while to adjust! I will try and blog as often as I can though!


This was taken on Thursday at my bestie's graduation, so of course we took advantage of the opportunity to wander round the Canterbury cathedral grounds. They're SO beautiful and very Hogwarts-esque so you can imagine how excited I was! My man/boy/thing and I were joking about how we'd have to train as teachers and miraculously find jobs at the lovely private schools round Canters just so we could be surrounded by the amazing buildings...

Here you can see the cathedral peeping out behind the trees! I was wearing an H&M maxi dress with a cardie from Mango, and Stephie (in the middle) wore a beautiful Dorothy Perkins dress under her gown.

This was taken outside the cathedral...I'm so proud of all of us and congrats to all the bloggers I follow who've recently graduated! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared of what lies beyond us now, I'm actually terrified about starting my new job and entering the real world! I'm also finding it super difficult to find stylish office-wear - what DO non-stick-thin ladies wear to work?? I can't do blouses or shirts because it's impossible to find ones that fit properly, and dresses are so expensive! I'm watching a lot of dresses on ebay at the moment but it's all so confusing, what will suit me, what won't, how can I avoid looking like a hippo wedged into an office chair...sigh! I miss the comfy days of uni already!

How do you deal with the complexities of workwear? Or are you like me, befuddled by the limited amount of nice & appropriate clothes in shops?
xoxo

  2. Wow! That maxi dress looks gorgeous on you and your skin is glowing in these pics. Graduation obviously suits you.

    Office wear sounds tricky. I long for the day I have a reason to dress smartly but I can see that it will probably be rife with problems too! I can't really offer much in the way of advice as I'm not particularly busty {and when I have been while breastfeeding I was useless at dressing my ample bosom!}. I would probably stick to dresses. Dorothy Perkins has loads of pretty 50s style ones in at the moment that aren't too expensive. They might look nice with some smart mary-janes and a little cardi.

    Good luck with the new job, whatever you decide to wear!

  3. You look beautiful! I always shop the Next sale or M&S sale for workwear, tescos is surprisingly good too :)
