It's official, with only two more public holidays between now and Christmas, we're back to work for good! Sometimes the hardest thing about going to work is deciding what to wear every morning - so we've taken the hard work out for you and collected some essential pieces that can be combined in endless ways for effortless comfort and style.
a basic black 3/4 sleeve top
This is one of those pieces you can't do without. In fact you'll probably want more than one! A surprisingly sophisticated layering piece, this works under basically anything, from dress shirts to tunics to dresses.
a perfect black pant
Looking at these pants it's quite obvious why we've dubbed them 'essentials'. Perfect cut, perfect rise, perfect fit, and with just enough stretch to be uber comfortable.
a neutral stripe
Add a point of interest to your basic top with a bold stripe pattern in a neutral colour pallette. Pop on the Mela Purdie Vest with Front Folds in chilli for the hottest colour combination this season - beige and chilli.
a classic straight skirt
MELA PURDIE Mid Double Skirt $195.00
The fantastic thing about this skirt is the marriage of smart tailoring with super comfortable jersey fabric. Featuring two layers of fabric it skims over your shape without clinging.
| a variation on the white shirt MELA PURDIE Tunic Flared Charmeuse $325.00 Instead of the traditional button down white shirt, we've picked this stunning silk charmeuse tunic for a soft and feminine take. This tunic is light and loose, and a very flattering skimming shape, beautiful back with a skirt or pants, belted or loose.  a pop of colour MELA PURDIE Vest with Front Folds $189.00 Although blacks and neutrals are great, some days you just need a lift! And this drape front vest is perfect for introducing a pop of colour into all of your basic outfits.  a lightweight cardigan VIGORELLA Cardi Rib Band $149.00 In a climate controlled environment like the office or classroom, a lightweight cardigan is a must have. This rib cardigan is made from a wool/polyamide blend and is a versatile straight cut with a longer length and a one size fits all design. Perfect for layering and taking the edge off the outdoor chill. WAYS TO WEAR:  Here are several styling ideas using just the items listed, but the options really become limitless when you start incorporating your existing statement pieces in with these staples. Mela Purdie, Vigorella and Andiamo are labels that will fit in with your wardrobe easily and become like an old friend you know you can count on time and time again. What are your old faithful work pieces that you'd love to update? Personally I definitely need some black Ponti pants - they look so cosy and comfortable but still polished enough for the office. As someone who lives in leggings on the weekend they're a great alternative for me when tights are too casual but I can't be bothered ironing black pants in the morning! ALSO... Check out our gorgeous new Key Looks collection, with a focus on elegant simplicity, a winter pallette and layering potential.  All items (except fur collar) available to buy online at www.impulseboutique.com.au/key-looks Hopefully we've given you some ideas for your work wardrobe! The great thing about all these pieces is that they're so comfortable you won't mind swapping your pyjamas for them in the morning ;) Rebecca x |
