Best Dressed for Less No.5

I love Jessica Alba's casual summer outfit here, I love the draping blouse and the contrasting blazer but keeping a neutral theme. 

I've created two outfits with similar products at very different prices. You can re make this outfit at a fraction of the price, a bargain at £191! 

I especially love the sunglasses from swell.com.

Hope you like it!

Sabo Skirt Wishlist

I love this Australian fashion company, ever since I found them on Instagram (strangely) I am obsessed with their elegant style, fun colours/prints and on-trend pieces each tailored to the companies own personality. If they were based in the UK, and I had some dollar, I would have bought at least half of the summer range. 

Each time they post a design on Instagram I am instantly envious! The range may be fairly small, but being a relatively new company, I'm sure they are planning to expand with their success and I'm expecting great things!

Below are a few of my favourite looks, pieces and accessories that I'm dying to buy!

 I'm in love with this lilac slouch shirt, perfect colour for this season and so easy to wear. 

This silver collar necklace would be perfect to finish off an evening dress or outfit.

This neon skirt is also ideal for this summer season, matching the sporty themed olympics inspired trend perfectly. 

 Garden Dress in Yellow

 Scarf Harem Pants

 I love the simplicity of this Knitted Jumper, great for throwing on during a summer night.

And finally, the matching patterns of this floral blazer and shorts combo is gorgeous. Sophisticated yet casual, LOVE.

Boohoo Blazers

The day after my Office Girl post and Boohoo have done a feature about blazers on their Facebook page. I was quite spooked so I decided to share it with you! Below are a few of their tips on how to work a blazer according to your body shape. They are always putting things up like this on their Facebook page so I strongly suggest liking them if you already haven't!

Office Girl

 For the past three weeks I have been doing a bit of work experience in a couple of offices. I don't have a very smart wardrobe so when I found out the dress code was 'smart-casual' I hit a bit of a dilemma. Despite my lack of pencil skirts and fitted suits in my closet, I do have a good selection of blazers. Whilst putting outfits together I realised how easy it is to smarten up a look with the add of a blazer. Below are a few pictures (rubbish Photo Booth quality) of some of my office looks with three different blazers from my wardrobe. I actually got snapped in the top one for a street style blogger so I'm guessing the look worked!

 I teamed my shiny black Topshop Skinnies with a Blanco printed top and my black blazer.

 I chose coloured burgundy Topshop jeans with a simple black top and my cotton pink blazer.

 Finally, I put my blue H and M jeans with a navy top with my tweed H and M blazer.

 Simple Black 

 Drape Pale Cotton

Dashing Tweed

I created this mood board (below) on the Polyvore website to highlight a few of my favourite blazers of the season. I went for the two biggest shades that are trending, Bold & Pastels with a mixture of stand out tones from each.

 Topshop, Zara and H and M all have a great selection all at good value so even if your not strutting round the office photocopying things, I think a blazer is a must have for this spring/summer. Its easy to co ordinate and it's something light to slip over any outfit.
