laced up work...

I'm sure you guys are all aware that I am now a fully fledged working girl. Melanie Griffith eat your heart out! One of the great bits about my job (there are many thankfully) is that I have pretty much free range in terms of attire. As long as I look respectable I can wear what I like! And my shoe of choice has turned out to be heeled, laced brogues. In the past month I have bought two completely gorgeous and completely different pairs for work (and for general purposes too of course). One pair were a gift from myself one were a gift for my graduation. What I love is that they are both beautiful but both so different in style. One pair is super girly and quirky (satin laces, yes please!) and the other I find to be quite masculine (well as masculine as a heeled shoe can be).

In this cold weather my boots are getting used quite a lot but my new shoe of choice for work in winter (until it gets really slippy) are brogues. Heeled and laced tight! And no one can see my silly socks...

Red Pair: Poetic Licence

Navy/Grey Pair: Marco Tozzi

working girl...

Didn't think I'd be saying this for awhile but I am a busy girl at the moment... With the blog and working on FELT and working half days at my new internship (woot!) I sometimes feel a little run off my feet! Thankfully, I still manage to get a run in and enjoy the evenings (and lunch times) with the fella. But this hectic schedule has me all in a tizzy about what to put on in the mornings. I want to look respectable (the dress code in work is respectable/casual) but here in Carlow we are getting some seriously sticky weather so I am finding it hard at times to look well while still remaining cool and comfortable. In an ideal world all these items would be in my wardrobe. Smart low heeled brogues (for the running around), a shirt dress would be comfortable yet smart (depending on how you wear it), a watch to keep me on time and on top of everything and a gorgeous bag to throw everything into. 

Unfortunately this is not an ideal world so I will have to make do with what's already in my wardrobe for the time being... I can totally make this work!
