Here's the second instalment to my outfit challenge with Olivia Burton watches and this is my attempt at a work wear outfit. When it comes to work wear for me, after having worked in retail I've been able to wear what I want and it's always been quite casual attire. It's fair to say I'm not that in the know about formal work wear. However, I feel as if this French Connection dress is the perfect candidate for a more formal summer outfit.

French Connection is a brand I've never associated myself with until recently. In comparison to the likes of other high street stores their designs are a little more sustainable rather than following fad fashions. As well as this their hemlines are a little lower, which I can fully appreciate as I'm not a fan of dresses being too short just because I'm a little above the average height. This gorgeous, checked, picnic dress is smock shaped too meaning it's ever so comfy and cooling on hot summer days. I'll be keeping it for years to come! This rucksack was my best charity shop find ever. An authentic Burberry checked rucksack, which set me back just £7! I found it a few months back and I'm still in awe that I chanced across it! It sits perfectly with the subtle checked pattern of the dress too. What do you think of my work wear look?
