When you’re enjoying a fun-filled summer with the family, September can seem like years away. But like all good things, summer has to come to an end and September ready and waiting. For me, September is all about back-to-school planning, for both me and the children. As well as school stationery, my workwear wardrobe is always at the top of my agenda. I love looking chic and smart at work. However, after living in shorts and dresses throughout the summer, planning outfits for cooler temperatures is always daunting. Every year, I feel like I am starting from scratch. But that being said, I do love picking up new workpieces and I find that a spot of workwear shopping actually gets me excited for the new school year. What’s more, shopping for work clothes doesn’t have to put you out of pocket and as you know, I love a bargain. Before term started, I simply used this Debenhams promo code from My Favourite Voucher Codes and shopped guilt-free. Debenhams really does stock all of the stylish workwear a woman could ever need.
Dressy and Daring
The first item I picked up wasn’t my usual practical workwear choice but when I saw it on the website, it was calling my name. Plus, I wasn’t quite ready to let go of my summer of dress wearing. I am always looking to wear dresses to work but finding one with the appropriate neckline and skirt length can be a challenge, to say the least. That’s why this dress from Debenhams is such an exciting find for me. It has both a modest crew neck and a skirt that reaches the knee. It also has an inbuilt belt, sure to accentuate your waist. But what I really love about it is the pattern. If you’re looking to switch up your workwear wardrobe from black (which I always am) this patterned piece is the perfect purchase for you. The dress is in the petite range but because of its super stretchy material, it fits me perfectly and hugs all the right places. What’s more, this item is on Debenhams buy 1 get 1 half price deal on selected womenswear. The offer is still valid so go go go. And make sure to use a promo code as well to save big money on gorgeous items.
Channel Chic in a Camel Coat
Buying coats for September can be a shock to the system when you were vest top shopping less than a month ago. However, while buying winter coats for the children can be a bit of a trial, I must confess, I love shopping for my own coats. I do have coats from previous years that I recycle but each winter I like to treat myself to one new, stand-out jacket. When browsing the before school started, I picked up this stunning Camel Herringbone Coat. Again, shockingly straying from my black obsession, I love the cream colour of this jacket. It goes perfectly with every workwear piece I own and automatically brightens every outfit. Not to mention, with its sharp collar and button-down style, this coat really gives me a put-together look that is perfect for work. Whilst I usually hate cold winter days, I have found myself longing for them this September, simply so that I can give this jacket a wear. It has been my most complimented workwear item thus far.
Be Bold in New Boots
When shopping for new workwear I always forget shoes and so this year, I made a point of investing in a really good pair. Shoes can really shape an outfit, however, I found that my wardrobe was severely lacking in a chic shoe range. That’s why I invested in this pair of BlockHeel Ankle Boot. As the only black item I invested in for my new workwear wardrobe, I am impressed with myself. If you’re looking for the perfect combination of fashionable and practical when shopping for work shoes, these are the pair for you. They are at the ideal heel height to ensure they remain comfortable but also give you that extra height, elongating your legs. Two weeks into term and I am so grateful that I invested in these boots. I am wearing them every day and are my new shoe go-to for daily wear. What’s more, these boots don’t have to be limited to workwear. For an evening out with the girls, I find these boots are the perfect addition to dress up any outfit.
It’s safe to say that these new purchases are fast becoming my workwear staples. I have to admit, I have been loving the compliments from colleagues when I have donned these items in the last two weeks. Even better, I don’t have to feel guilty when they ask about the price when I have saved with promo codes. If you’re finding your wardrobe uninspiring or I need of an overhaul, I urge you to checkout the Debenhams site for wonderful workwear pieces.
