Melbourne Cup Lace Dress, Floral Headband, Miu Miu Bag | Printed Top, Skinny Jeans, Balenciaga City

Here's what I wore to work today:

Dress: Asos midi dress in black lace
Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
Bag: Miu Miu cammeo studded clutch bag


Slightly fancy with a floral headband today for Melbourne Cup day celebrations at work. Although we did have to be in the office, lunch was catered and we all stopped to grab some food, chat and watch the race. I wasn't sure I was going to put any effort in for the best hat competition, but then my colleague called Monday night asking me to bring some hats in for her to try, so I figured I'd at least add this headband. I bought it back in 2011 to attend a Gala event and haven't ever worn it since, so it was good to wear it again. We didn't win any prizes with our hats, but there was some fierce competition for the best hat title!

Also tried wearing this dress with flats instead of heels after walking past a very chic looking lady in the street wearing this exact dress with cute black flats. Looked better with her height than my petite frame I think!

Linking up with Trend Spin Linkup, Funday Monday, What I wore Wednesday, Fashion Informant, Spotlight Weekly Linkup, Three-fer Thursday today.

Sneakily working jeans into my office wear today! I saw these online and bought them knowing that I could probably pass them off as normal pants in the office. There were a few other colleagues wearing denim today so even if anyone did notice that I was wearing jeans, it wasn't a big deal.

I knew I hadn't worn this top in a while, but when I went to find its last appearance on the blog, it's been over a year! It's just been buried so far back in my wardrobe I rarely wear it. Even with all of the clothes I own, I tend to rotate through only a fraction of them. Need to wear this top more often, it's lovely for work.
