When it comes to workplace wear my rule of thumb is ‘dress for the role you want, not the role you have’. As shallow as it may seem presentation goes a very long way. That being said there is still room for creativity when power dressing, and today I decided to incorporate mixed prints into the fun.

 

SES KNITFOREVER NEW BLAZER & JEANGM2NY SCARFASOS HANDBAG/  THE ICONIC SHOES
I have quite a neutral colour palette and tend to stick to black, navy and white. But inspired from a recent post by blogger Zanita I decided to give print mixing a go. Being quite the beginner I started small, teaming a stripped knit with the gorgeous ‘Rosette’ silk chiffon scarf by label Get Me To New York (gm2ny). 
Keeping power dressing for the office in mind, I stuck to my other fashion rule: Keep it classy. And what (elegantly) screams class? A structured blazer and patent handbag, that’s what. 
 
Happy mixing!
