Lookbook- Winter Workwear

I don’t know about you, but I feel like this year, winter has been out for revenge! We’ve been having a few mild winters, last year I barely even noticed that it was winter and carried on wearing my normal clothes, with a jacket or a jersey on top. In fact, not one of my coats even came out to play last winter! This year however the winter has been so cold, that I have been dreaming about tropical getaways and sunshine! I can’t wait for spring to commence in the next month already. One thing that I really struggle with in winter is appropriate outfits for work. I really have to force myself to think out of the box otherwise I would just be wearing jeans every day to work, and this outfit has been one of my favourites this winter.

You can easily wear a summer dress in winter by adding some stockings and booties with it, but I feel like that trend died for me back in 2010. I’ve been trying to find winter dresses that I like, and when I found this one at Forever New, it was love at first sight. It has a tweed-like design, but it is a jersey dress so it is very warm and the material is very comfortable. This dress is currently on sale at Forever New, and they have a few other winter dresses that you can check out here. I love that’s its feminine and still sexy while looking professional and put-together.

One of my absolute favourite items in my closet is this leather jacket, I talk about it too much! I got it last year and I wear it every week! Paired with this dress it adds an edge to a professional look, which is fine at my job, but if your job doesn’t allow for that then pair the dress with a nice blazer like the one here. I finished off the look with these fabulous pearl earrings I bought on Superbalist, and my favourite thigh high boots. Again if you feel like the boots are too sexy then add a pair of stockings underneath them, or I also often wear this dress with these ankle boots that I bought on Superbalist too.

What do you think of this winter outfit? For some fun work wear inspiration also check our Leannes blog, she has a few nice winter outfit ideas! I love a nice winter floral dress like here, a warm jersey worn with a pair of black cigarette pants  and of course a fabulous coat like the one over here.

    Gosh girl you look incredible! Love how you styled this dress with the boots and the leather jacket. I would never have thought of that! You look perfect. I can’t believe I even made a sneaky feature in this post. Thank you so much, you are so sweet 🙂

Are you as excited as I am about the reboot? Also which of these looks is your fav?

Back to work today with a fabulous outfit 💃🏻 Back to work today with a fabulous outfit 💃🏻Lol, just kidding, my back to work outfit today was another glamorous pairing of some workout tights and a T-shirt while we continue to work from home 🚶🏻‍♀️I’m not complaining though, but I also can’t wait for the day when I will wear proper workwear again one day. Are you back to work today as well or still on holiday?👩🏻‍💻
Someone: Nice dress!

Totes obsessed with this @countryroad dress that I scored on their sale(it’s on now so don’t miss out!).
Bush baby vibes 🦒Please recommend some good bus Bush baby vibes 🦒Please recommend some good bush lodges under this post 🙏🏻I recently spent some time at the Kruger National Park with my parents and while we had an amazing time in the park and managed to see the Big 5, our lodge was anything but fabulous, and it came with a hefty price tag so we were a bit disappointed 😩What are your recommendations, within a reasonable price range of course 😉, of some lovely lodges in the bush? I would love to do more local trips in 2021 🙌🏻
