Best Foot Forward

So I don't know about you but there are some days that I just don't know what to wear. Often, I find it helpful to pick one piece I know I definitely want to wear and then build my outfit up around that. So today I'm going to start with shoes. Dressing from the shoes up. I've picked three of this seasons biggest shoe trends and created outfits around them. I've picked "investment" priced shoes and picked the outfit from the high street.

Work Wear

I am lucky enough to be working with three companies over London fashion week - Anya Hindmarch, Burberry and Amanda Wakely. None of these companies are super strict about clothes but I want to make a good impression. I felt totally unprepared outfit wise as I do have a few smarter pieces - a blazor, a pencil skirt etc - but putting together more than one or two appropriate outfits from my existing wardrobe proved a little difficult. I bought a couple of things from Zara, an ivory chiffon blouse (which you can also see here) and a black cross-over dress.
