Versatile workwear and day off style

Today I have two outfits to share with you from Marks and Spencer.  I have two unique looks, one of the outfits I picked is more casual and perfect for your day off. A perfect bottomless brunch outfit! and my second look is a perfect sophisticated workwear look that teams heavier Autumn fabrics that will keep you warm coming into Winter. These outfits are so versatile and can be dressed up and dressed down to suit your style. I also have some accessories to style these up too, so, if you are a bag lady then I have two bags that might make you swoon. I have been working with Marks & Spencer the past few months and I have to say that the quality is really good and I have been wearing the outfits from my previous posts regularly and they have washed well and still look as good as when I first got them. I will make sure to link to the items below. These items will fit in as well with the other pieces I have in my wardrobe for Winter.

Smart workwear look 

 I like to brighten my wardrobe with some lighter tones as I am not a fan of the dark Winter days. I choose this wool skirt as I like the heavier texture and I teamed it with a roll neck jumper and layered it with this pink coat. This pink coat is a steal at €49, it’s actually lighter than a coat but heavier than a cardigan making it easy to layer. I teamed it with these square-toed Chelsea boots. I have been wearing the ankle boots from my previous m&s posts and I have to say they are so comfy for work. I recently wore these boots in London for the day and they were so comfy.

A dressy but fun day off outfit

This second look is a little different for me as I chose to team this wrap skirt with a printed tee. In work, I can be in jumpers and blouses so I wanted to try something different for my day off look. I chose this pink printed tee to go with this red wrap style skirt. I am loving skirts at the moment. Skirts are perfect wardrobe staples that never date. I am trying to buy less and wear more so, pieces like this are key to building my wardrobe with pieces that can be worn again and again.

Having fun with accessories

I teamed both of my outfits with some handbags that are so versatile they can be worn with either outfit. I picked up the smaller jewelled bag as the colours look really nice with the workwear outfit. I was thinking this bag will look fab over Christmas. Both of these bags have the longer strap option which I find really handy. I only really use cross body bags as I like to keep my hands free. For a bag that is more suitable for work, I chose this faux leather burgundy tote bag. I brought this to London on a day trip recently and I was able to fit loads inside of it including my camera. This also has the option of extending the strap to make it a cross-body bag.

    Lovely pics Catherine – I really like the skirt and nearly picked it up myself the other day (they were out of stock in my size, boo) but now I'll be going back for the bag and boots too! x
