Leopard Print For The Office? Why Not!

Dress from A Wear (at ASOS), Cardigan from a random shop in the AlexaCenter in Berlin, Boots from H&M, Tights from Primark




I ordered this dress a few days ago from the ASOS sale and when it arrived last night I was so excited about it.  It is a really different cut to my usual style (I usually go for bodycon or skater style) but I quite like the loose casual shirt dress cut of this)  But it's a good job I have no meetings or interviews booked in today as this is the most casual outfit I have worn to work in a long time! I am doing another early morning post today (woo, go me) and these photos were taken at 6.45am, big thanks to Mr Bertie for taking these so early!

Last night we got our mini break booked, I am sooo excited. We are going to Edinburgh 1st to 3rd March and we are flying up (it was waaaay cheaper than driving and only a touch more expensive than train but saves us 6 hours in total which is valuable time for such a short mini break) and I have booked us into a lovely 4 star hotel in the city centre (with lots of gadgets in the room for Mr Bertie) I'm really excited, only fifty two sleeps to go woo!!

Have a lovely Tuesday everyone, let me know what you have been up to?

  1. Oooo, I like very much. And this style suits you too, so keep trying out similar dresses! As for timing, I hear you. With classes all day this week, I'm having trouble fitting in my outfit post. Will have to try taking pics over lunch hour I guess. Happy Tuesday!

    1. Thanks I'll try more of this style then :) oh I know it's so hard to find time isn't it, I cheated and wrote my words last night (brain not that good on a morning LOL) and just noticed it needed changing (wrote it before I booked hotel) oops, so just edited it whilst on bus. have a great day xxx

  8. I like it Janineeeeeee. Hurrah for the trip to Edinburgh! We are supposed to be going somewhere at the end of the month but housemates just want to go to airport and see what is available and go where ever because apparently you can get cheap deals that way, but I am not keen on the idea, how will I be prepared?

    1. Oh no you can get just as cheap deals booking a week or two in advance and then you know what to pack and also get the correct insurance and best deal on your travel money, you can actually end up spending more booking things at the airport on the day you plan to travel. Convince them to book through 'on the beach' or do your own flight and hotel deal!

    1. I like chunky jumpers and cardigans too, luckily this winter has been mild for us (so far anyway, snow is forecast for this weekend) so I have not really worn many this year, I suspect I will be digging out more of them this weekend though.

      Thanks :)

  22. Hi Janine, I love leopard print! I really like the way the style of your dress and the long cardigan combine, to give the print a daytime vibe. So glad you are feeling better now, and it's always lovely to have a trip to look forward to :) xo
