9 to 5 inspiration - memo to monochrome

Nothing says "timeless chic" quite like a structured black and white outfit. It's also the perfect choice for a no-fuss, take-no-prisoners professional work look.
Keep yours on-trend with the new rage in pant shapes - the tapered leg, also known as the peg leg. This pant shape may take some getting used to if all your business pants are of the low-rise, boot-cut variety but trust me when I say that this is in fact a far more universally flattering style.
Highlighting your waist becomes a breeze with the higher rise, hips are no longer hugged but rather skimmed over and your heel options become endless with your ankle being beautifully highlighted by this cut.
I'm also swooning over the blazer below, it's just such a fabulous cut and being the super versatile design that it is, would look great dressed down as well. For a chic yet casual look I'd pair it with some denim cut-offs, a bright cami peeking from underneath and some layered necklaces.
P.S. romwe.com, where the jacket is now available, are a particularly awesome online store who offer free international delivery with no minimum spend required. Can I hear a hell yeah?!

9 to 5 inspiration - shift it up a gear

Take your standard work-wear look up a notch by pairing a beautifully tailored shift dress with some unexpected colours and textures. Silk with lace? Totally unpredictable and yet somehow, completely wearable.

9 to 5 inspiration - corporate tweets

I don't know about you, but my part of the world was positively sunny this weekend and all that sunshine inspired me greatly. Spring dresses were calling out to me from my wardrobe and it's great to hear their feminine voices once again. The divine half sleeved silk tunic seen below is an ideal in-between-season piece and is sure to brighten up the office in no time. My favourite thing about this collection? All the items are available right now through Australian websites.

9 to 5 inspiration - colour in the detail

While I've mentioned in the past my great thrill in waving goodbye to the neutral trends which were all encompassing for so long, there are in fact great aspects to the neutral colour spectrum. Take this work day collection for example; gorgeous key pieces which are sure to last the test of time and passing trends (the crisp white shirt especially, is an investment every girl should make to her wardrobe) and yet you're far from looking boring by throwing in splashes of colour to hang off your arm when running for the morning coffee and oh so subtly on your ear lobe to brighten up your after work meeting.

9 to 5 inspiration - scarlet sights

The rules for women dressing for work have been thrown out the window! No longer are we expected to buy stuffy skirt suits that make us all look the same, thank goodness. Let your individuality shine through at your workplace with statement pieces, like the perfectly tailored red shift below.
By keeping your accessories on-trend and true to your style personality you will avoid feeling like a cog in the corporate-dressing-machine.
