Winter warmers

It hasn’t exactly been the coldest of winters so far in London, in fact it’s quite the opposite and it’s been mild all the way through December. But as usual January brings with it a bitter chill, and so I can’t help but try to wrap up and block out the cold. That’s what this outfit is all about: an attempt to stay warm without hiding the essence of the outfit under bundles of layers and scarves.

What I wear to work

I regularly capture my work outfits on my crummy iPhone camera and post them on instagram, so this is a roundup of the ones I’ve shared in the last two months or so! My last what I wear to work post was at the end of summer, so I’ve obviously had to transition my wardrobe to suit the colder months. Yes, all of the outfits are partly (and in some cases entirely) Topshop so there is a fair amount of repetition, but I strive to have a teensy bit of variety in my working wardrobe. My favourite new pieces as you can probably tell are my beloved Magnificent sock boots, even though they do get slightly uncomfortable after standing in them for 4 hours, and I’m still obsessed with my waistcoats!

Black and blue

This is quite an exciting post for me because something that’s been on my blog to-do list for a while now is to move away from my spontaneous and unplanned outfit posts, and give you something a little more professional. Well, here we are, an outfit shoot that was meticulously planned – and only slightly awkward for me!

There’s no point in lying; the best thing about working in retail for a brand like Topshop is the discount. I might as well not get paid because as soon as that money comes in it goes straight back to them via the clothes that I buy. But it has done wonders for my wardrobe, and seeing as my life is now spent at work I use every shift as an opportunity to showcase my new purchases and try to remix them into as many outfits as possible. I share my #ootd’s regularly on Instagram and thought I’d share a few here with you also! If you want to see more in the future then make sure to follow me @rosemolly93.

Pink fur and Charlotte Tilbury

Seeing as I don’t have a personal photographer following me around capturing me looking into shop windows and brushing hair out of my face, I have to carry my own camera around with me and snap up any opportunity to take outfit photos. This time I was in the midst of a wonderful afternoon with the darling Lauren, who I met, and lived with, in Bristol. After living so close to each other at university, a catch up was much needed after almost two months apart! As for the outfit, I’m a little bit in love with fur at the moment, especially this gilet which adds a little pazazz to any old outfit. It’s also just the right amount of coverage for the cooler September temperatures, though I’m sure I’ll be needing sleeves soon enough…
