Work Wear Wednesday

Alexa Chung For Madewell.

Of course, I could dedicate a life-time of posts to Alexa Chung's style, perhaps I will over time. But for today, I am posting some of her 'styling tips' as seen on the 'Madewell' website.
I was so excited when I stumbled upon this last night, she always gets it ever so right.

Firstly, yes, I always turn to a simple shirt when I don't know what else to wear to the office.
Secondly, I have a varied collection of denim shorts. I have never worn a pair to work, but may do now, after seeing Alexa pair them with a demure shirt and a nice blazer and broach..
Ah, if only I had those, wonderful, perfect legs of hers. (Time to start biking?)

(Photos are linked - Hit them for the rest of her Madewell looks.)

  5. I absolutely adore her greyish natty blazer she's wearing with denim shorts and a shirt. I would so love one like that! I just love Alexa so much, even though I don't think we'd get along if we were to ever meet... Btw, thanks for your sweet comment on my uni post, I'm so excited! :) xx

  7. I'm not sure if jean shorts would be the most appropriate for the office. I would try some in a tweed fabric, but not denim!

    It takes 10 hours to get there from where I live so I was travelling down during the day but I had to catch a 6.18am train when I came home again so I got to see that wonderful sunrise! :)

  9. These are super cute, all of them. If I had to choose one for myself, I'd go for the first one. There's something I adore about tucked in shirts!

    Hugs!
