I love a burst of bold colour, and where better to wear it than at work?!
Workwear can often be so dull and boring.
Black, navy, grey... Zzzzzz.
Injecting some colour is fun and much easier during the warmer months.
Colours seem much more acceptable in the sunshine.
Also, there is something about a smart but colourful look that says "Confident and in Control"
...Even if you're not!
(I love a confidence cheat.)
If you've never tried any of their pieces, have a wee look at the way I've styled them HERE and check out their site HERE!
The fit and quality are fab.
And, before you ask, I'm not sponsored by them (I wish I was) I just love the dresses!
{I'm lucky that they kindly gifted this dress to me but I would happily buy from them anyway.}
As usual, I'm keeping things as simple as possible (what's the point in over-fussing when it comes to workwear?)
A dress, smart bag and classic sandals.
Simple.
Are you adding MORE colour to your summer work wardrobe?

OVER TO YOU...
Last week beautiful Amy caught my eye in her gorgeous outfit.
Yellow and purple... perfection!
See her full post HERE.
I love that yellow dress, Samantha. Especially with your those sandals. Love that colour of leather.
ReplyDeleteTan is one of my favourites too Nancy.
DeleteA little retro but classic and fun!

huge fan of the Alie Street brand! This mustard colour looks great on you Samantha! Have a great week xx
ReplyDeleteMe too Laurie... and thank you so much!
DeleteHere's to a great week for us both. XXX
Great.
ReplyDeleteThank you Regine. X
DeleteLove the addition of the brown accessories. I have a dress in a similar colour and was only musing today about what colour shoes and bag to use.
ReplyDeleteI like the brown with mustard, but some might say it's a bit too warm and 1970's?!
DeleteI'd love to see what you come up with Gail... I liked silver too :o)

Such a chic look - the combination of brown leather bag and shoes and mustardy yellow dress - love! I see in the comment above you're wondering if it's too warm and 70s? I can see where the thought comes from with those colors, but each of the items is so modern in style that it doesn't speak as 70s to me at all.

Thank you Bettye!
DeleteIt's funny, I always think "1970's curtains" when I wear mustard... even though I love the colour! Hahahaha.
Thank you for your thoughts on it, you are always so kind.

This is a lovely look - the bright mustard yellow is stunning on you, Samantha! The Clarks shoes are wonderful, and I like the unexpected colours in the necklace. Brava!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sheila.
DeleteI love Clarks for shoes... the only problem is lots of other people know about them too!! :oP

This dress looks great on you, Sam! The shoes and bag complement the dress so nicely and I love the colourful necklace too. XXX
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Sasha!
DeleteI had a feeling you might like my necklace :o)
XXX
I love your bright dress - and why not wear beautiful colours at work. You look wonderful and very smart Sam! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteColour gives me confidence... I think it's because other people assume I'm confident because I dare to wear it. However, it's the colour that gives the confidence. I love a bit of bluffing!! :oP

lovely outfit and lovely color!, I think you look fabulous in it!. The dress fits you like a dream and looks really elegant and comfy!. And your accessorizing is so cool!.

Thank you so much Monica! XXX
DeleteSamantha, what a lovely dress! And I agree with you that color should be injected into work wardrobes. This color is so beautiful on you...I wish I could wear more yellow, but it just doesn’t work on me. And how darling is your necklace! I am loving your sandals as well.

Thank you Shelbee!
DeleteThe sandals are SO comfy... I love high shoes that aren't really high, if you know hat I mean! XXX
Awww, you're so sweet to feature my look from last week! Thanks so much! I love your dress! The color and style is so pretty. Love that necklace too!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure Amy!
DeleteYou looked adorable.

Oh, this sheath dress is speaking to me! So cute with the heart necklace and sandals.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see you style it Jennie! XXX
DeleteI love this sheath style dress on you and your richly colored accessories! the mustard color is very pretty on you.

Marvellous colour, which certainly is the colour of the moment. thanks for hosting the linkup too. Jacqui Mummabstylish
ReplyDeleteYellows are everywhere, aren't they?
DeleteSuch a great colour!
XXX
I have an issue with mustard-yellow, but you most certainly don't! It's just delightful on you, and seems to complement your hair so well. The dress is great with the heart necklace too. Kx
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean!
DeleteI was feeling a bit 'brassy'... but ignored it :oP
Mustard is a hard colour for sure.
XXX
Yes I certainly add colour to summer work wear . Im seriously short of work yellow though and need to revisit that.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a cheerful shade Anna... I hope you find some!
DeleteXXX
I love this colour on you Sam! The necklace is really pretty!

DeleteThis dress skims your figure SO beautifully and for that reason has a subtle sexiness but it's that pretty and fun multi-colored heart necklace that plays so beautifully with the dress that intrigues me. It's uncomplicated but makes a lovely statement anyway! You're just a genius with accessories Sam. You NEVER just throw on a necklace but rather seem to find jewelry that sets a mood. Those simple little pastel hearts add a sweet charm that REALLY WORKS!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're too kind Judy... but I'll take it (•blushes).
DeleteThese dresses are such a nice fit and the patterned versions hide all the things we want to hide very well. :oP

This yellow dress is fabulous! I can't seem to get enough of yellow these days--even though it's really not my color. In fact I have two yellow posts lined up. One is with lots of blue--which I can wear. And the other is with more yellow on the bottom which takes the color away from my fact--because yellow can make me look, well, you know, sick!
ReplyDeleteYou look great in yellow?! Is it because of your hair color? I wouldn't have guessed with your coloring that it would look so awesome on you, but it does. And you and your figure! Stunning Sam.
Much love, Annie
Awww Annie.... you're very kind and generous!
DeleteThis dress is a great fit but it does 'show the figure' if that makes sense?
I now work at being in shape but our little baby-bellies never really leave us do they? :oP
I used to worry about not being 'perfect' but now I kind of like it, probably because looking at perfect people doesn't interest me.
I'm looking forward to seeing what yellow items you have and how you style them!!
