For the imperfect Fashion lover.

If your work environment allows it, why not inject a little colour into your working wardrobe?
Spring is the perfect time to move away from all-black, navy or grey and bring some of your favourite colours into your daily work life.

This work outfit is simple, and comfortable.
Loose fitting culottes and a striped top are smart enough for my workplace, but may not be appropriate for yours.
However, you can substitute the shapes for smarter options (like a shirt/blouse or pencil skirt) but still keep the bold feel.
Open toes may be frowned on if you work in a corporate environment, but a closed toe bootie works just as well.

Mixing prints is as easy as pie if you stick to the same colour palette.
These culottes have black, white, blue and orange so a black and white striped top teams effortlessly with them... the added orange trim is just a bonus!
(Adding a bold necklace can also work well.)


A vintage brooch adds a little personality.
My quilted bag grounds the look slightly, and finishes things off nicely!

Boldness may (or may not) come naturally to you, but it is very important not to 'disappear' as we get older.
Whether that is in relation to having your voice heard (at work, home, in your community), or being noticed as a woman.
Keep pushing yourself.
Being visible starts with confidence.
The best way to feel confident is to feel good about yourself.
Go bold and fake that fabulousness!

Does wearing something bolder help you feel braver and more confident?
I know that works for me but I would love to hear your thoughts!
