Guest Blog | Back to Work

Each year when it rolled around to heading back to school, I’d always be treated to a new bag. Now as an adult, I don’t so much need a backpack to carry my belongings but if your laptop bag, or indeed day to day work bag is looking a little worse for wear, it might be time to think about upgrading. Bags etc. have a range of reasonably priced bags which will see you through from the office meetings to the bar when you’re catching up with the girls. Equally if it’s more structure you’re looking for, Antler have a variety of laptop cases that should make that train commute a little smoother.

Shoes looking a bit worn out? Head over to Clarks to get some brogues from as little as £10 a pair ready for A/W or Pavers for classic black Chelsea boots at £34.99 that will team perfectly with your smarter office wear.
        
Needing a little wardrobe update; the Next sale still has some hidden gems if you’re willing to take the time to browse, or pop into Klass and Roman for some tailoring to take your outfit to the next level. What’s better than looking primed and ready for the next board meeting knowing that you got that blazer at 70% off its usual RRP? These blouses from Roman are £22 each and with styles available in white, blue and pink there’s plenty to mix and match with your work wardrobe.

Don’t forget the handbag essentials; whether that’s a new diary or notebook from The Works, or hand cream from Crabtree and Evelyn (there’s so many options to choose from, I recommend Rosewater if you’re a floral fan, or Citron for something a little zesty but neutral) With 30% off you can pick up a purse friendly saviour for less than £5.

If you’re the kind of person who’s heading back to work and wanting to get into a gym routine too, then check out what I found when I hit the mall for all things health and fitness recently.
