Librarian Work Wear #10

I've recently bought myself a new dress from Modcloth. I haven't been buying things from them as much recently because of customs prices being so high and being poor after paying for a wedding. But I spotted this dress on the site about 3 weeks ago and just had to order it!

This is the A Pebble's Throw Dress. I absolutely love the gorgeous blue detailing.

I've teamed it up with the Charter School Cardigan  in Honey, the Shoeful of Sugar heels, and my new tights from Primark.

These tights are brilliant. It's a shame they're so thin though! I'm really worried about snagging them.

I think this is probably my favourite Librarian Work Wear post yet! Now I'm off to go and look at some more dresses...

Librarian Work Wear #9

More autumny dress goodness! You will have noticed by now that the majority of my Librarian Work Wear posts are dress based. This is because I have a serious addiction, and my bank account is always suffering from my spontaneous dress purchases. Not to mention my wardrobe space. This dress is another Modcloth favourite, and I actually bought this originally to wear for my engagement shoot. It ended up being so cold that I had to wear a massive coat, so it's not really visible in the pictures, but I still love it.

I think the buttons down the side are the best thing about this dress. They don't actually function as buttons, they are just stitched on for decoration. You can buy the dress here for $44.99.

I'm also enjoying being able to get my boots out! I bought these last year from ebay, the brand is Poetic Licence. These took some serious breaking in and they completely crippled my feet at first, which meant that I didn't really get to wear them much last year. This year, I'm going to get my moneys worth out of them for sure! I love the detail on the side of the boots, just adds a little bit of extra interest. I'm currently lusting after these amazing boots from Poetic Licence. Love the purple!

Outtake: This is how I usually stand.

Librarian Work Wear #1

So this is my first fashion/outfit-related post! This outfit came from one of my favorite websites, Modcloth. Their clothes are very reasonably priced, but I often have to pay customs fees, so that's something to bear in mind if you decide to buy anything from them!

The Dress

I like to wear dresses to work, especially in summer. However this is a dress that could easily be worn in autumn and spring as well, with some layering. The skirt of the dress is not lined, however it isn't see-through at all. You can buy the dress here for $52.99, it is also available in 3 other colours. I love the navy blue, and the mint is super cute!

Button detail! So cute.

The Cardigan

Modcloth do a whole selection of these cardigans in different colours. I have three, and I am sure they will be regular features in my Librarian Work Wear feature! These cardigans are made from a soft and stretchy material, however I would suggest to size up, as I bought mine in a medium, and after machine washing, they have shrunk slightly. The shade shown here is Orchid. The cardigans are $34.99 each which is not too expensive, but there is the customs fee to consider on top of that!

The Shoes

I absolutely love these shoes from Poetic Licence. They are beautiful! I'm not usually the kind of person to go for heels but these are not too high, and the shoes themselves are super comfortable. They took hardly any wearing in at all. You can find them here for the bargain price of $114.99, and they are also available in black and white. I've had a look to try and find a stockist of these in the UK, but haven't managed it! If anyone manages to find a UK stockist, let me know!

 Thanks for reading :) xxx
