Three days in a row I've gone for a printed French Connection dress now, sorry! Had to think of something easy yet professional to wear, and rather than fussing with separates I went for the lazy printed dress option. We were filming an internal video at work and I had a part to play in it so wanted to look as professional as possible. I'm be curious to see what the final video looks like - got to see a bit after I'd done my clip and it looked okay. Will be good to see everyone's parts together.

I was wearing a trench over this but it was impossible to take a photo showing the fake "layering" with the top so I braved a photo without the outerwear this morning. Have been eyeing up this top in my wardrobe for a while wanting to wear it, today was finally the day. It was a little awkward tucked in though, the skirt didn't hide the buttons well, haha. Must wear a stiffer skirt next time!

Although it's not in the picture as it only arrived in the afternoon, I ended up wearing my new custom bangle from Yondale Design, you can see it on Instagram. It's a beautiful piece! Went a little custom-crazy a while back, and ordered this cuff and a necklace. I'm looking forward to sharing the necklace with you too when it arrives.

Had another presentation practice at work on Monday - so heels again for a bit of a confidence boost. I got to do my presentation twice, once to a small group as we break off to do them, and once to the larger group. It was definitely a lot scarier with more people in the room, but I'm pleased I managed to do it. All of the feedback was really helpful. Now I just need to think of a topic to talk about for a few minutes next time, and practice some more!

Another black and white French Connection dress today! Decided to wear another skull scarf too, why break the pattern? hehe. Had a day full of meetings and a bit of running around the city between buildings, so the boots kept my feet dry and warm as I did so. Wish I had thought to bring an umbrella, but didn't get soaked until I left the office to go home, so that worked out well.

If you're interested, I'm selling some handbags and accessories from my collection on ebay. :)
