Over the last year or so I’ve got into the habit of wearing the same few dresses, black tights and Vans\/Converse. I think this is partly to do with the fact I’ve been working from home most of the time. Now that we’re well into spring (even though it’s snowing as I type this<\/em>) things will be changing. I’ll soon be working from a co-working space and I want to ensure I’m mixing up my outfits.\u00a0I find that making more of an effort with my outfits and finding clothes\u00a0I feel comfortable in really helps with how confident I feel.\u00a0I’ve been stuck in a style rut for quite some time now so I want to experiment with colours, textures and new styles.<\/p>\n

The team from George at ASDA challenged me to pick something from their collection of work dresses<\/a>\u00a0for their\u00a0#styleYOUniform<\/em><\/strong> campaign. The challenge has come along at the perfect time so I picked out a new dress and a couple of items to give me a kick-start in getting out of my style rut.<\/p>\n

I picked this\u00a0Crochet Hem Sundress<\/a>\u00a0from the George website.\u00a0This dress was a new style for me because I usually go for high necks and soft colours. I really like the bright colours in the dress, they break up the black background so the outfit doesn’t feel too dark.\u00a0As it’s a sundress the material is quite light but I’ve been layering it up with my warm cardigan from Gap (similar style<\/a>). When the summer comes around I’ll be able to team this with a lighter cardigan or even better, a light denim jacket.<\/p>\n

The dress is comfortable to wear and the shape is flattering and easy to style. I wore the dress twice over the weekend, once on Saturday to Blog At The Beach, hosted by Ice Lolly in Leeds. I then wore the same outfit again on Sunday but with my burgundy\u00a0Vans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I also picked out this black tote bag<\/a> which is such a good size. I can fit all my work stuff into it, my laptop and even all my techy gadgets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My sunglasses are from\u00a0Dita<\/a>. I got them last summer and absolutely love the cat eye shape of the frames. These glasses are really good quality too, I’ll be buying from the brand again.<\/p>\n

I kept my accessories very simple\u00a0with this outfit and wore a treble clef necklace from Onetenzeroseven<\/a>. It reminds me of when I used to play the piano. You can find the necklace on sale in my little shop, Indiecana<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dress<\/a>, similar cardigan<\/a>, boots<\/a>, handbag<\/a>, necklace<\/a> and similar sunglasses\u00a0Quay Australia<\/a> – mine are an old style from Dita<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

I naturally gravitate towards Vans and Converse but I think I’ve been over-wearing them the last few months. I want to alternate between my shoes throughout the week and aim to look a little smarter. I won’t be ditching the Converse, but I think I’ll start saving them for more casual outfits at the weekend.<\/p>\n

I’ve really enjoyed wearing these ankle booties<\/a>. They’re so comfortable that I’ve worn them almost every day since they arrived. I like that the front of the boot is dipped lower than the sides to prevent them cutting off the leg. They have a slight western vibe to them which I love. They’re such a versatile style that I’m looking forward to wearing them with skirts, jeans and dresses throughout the summer.<\/p>\n

How will you be changing up your daily style this season?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
