Plum & Proper - An Outfit Post

Workwear. It's so easy to get stuck into a routine of the same old styles and colours. My standard attire that I feel most comfortable in is dress + tights + cardigan which can be a little dull when everything is neautral colours and blacks, so I was very happy to find a few pieces that are smart enough for the office but also offer a good pop of colour.

My MIL actually bought this dress for herself but decided the print was 'too young' for her when it arrived and very kindly gave it to me. The first time I wore it I got so many compliments! It has such a lovely print and the neons and whites look fabulous against the black background. I was also very happy as it's a size smaller than I would usually go for but fits just right.

The cardigan was a quick decision purchase from a trip to Tesco and I'm so glad I decided to buy it. It's a lovely soft fabric and the colour has stayed just as bright through several washes since I bought it. Pretty much all my cardigans are from Tesco - they're such good value and they always have a really good range that goes up to a size 22.

These boots are my absolute favourites - black leather with side zips and a perfectly sized heel that shapes your legs how you want but don't kill your feet after walking around for a few hours. My boyfriend bought me them last Christmas and they've lasted so so well despite how much I wear them. I just love Evans ankle boots - they always fit really well and aren't tight on your ankles which is the problem I usually have when shopping for boots.
