'Meeting your manager' Essentials

In an earlier post I mentioned my trip up North to meet my manager and get a feel for my new office and city. I wanted to get a smart/casual medium, because I had loads of city exploring and house hunting to do afterwards, and I think I got it just right. It turns out you can actually be pretty casual in my new office which is a bit of shame in a way, as I was hoping I needed a super smart look, but this way it works out less expensive at least!

1. Navy tapered cut off trousers. Mine were from Topshop, these are Mango - £30
2. I tucked my cream horse patterned blouse into the trousers. I really like this one too; SugarHill Boutique Merry Go Tie Blouse - £50
3. I'm useless in heels so these are great for me. Mine were a fabulous leather New Look Bargain! They are popular now everywhere though. Franco Sarto Clinic Leather Loafers - £55
4. I don't need to say any more about my go to bag! Longchamp Le Pilage - £60
5. Standard for me, pearl earrings. These are by Givenchy for £14 apparently. Can't quite believe it!
