Plus Size Workwear with Navabi
Sunday, November 08, 2015
I've had a few weeks away from the
blog, partly for a break after all the excitement of the #AllYours campaign but
partly because I HAVE A NEW JOB. You know what new job means...?
A New work wardrobe.
So I'm kicking off with this gorgeous Manon Baptiste gathered shift dress from Navabi. (Excuse the pictures, it was raining...)

In the past I've generally gone for
Next and Primark for my work wardrobe because it's cheap and cheerful, of late it's lacked
individuality and I've started to tire of that black sweaty generic workwear
material. I'm trying to bring a bit of my own personality into my workwear. This dress does just that; The draping, cap sleeves and cowl neck make it elegant yet wearable and the forest green colour further takes it away from your standard drab office get up.
Something I will say, I wish that this
dress was a bit longer. The Navabi Collection dress that I have is just that
bit longer and it makes a real difference when it comes to feeling put together
- I feel like if this sat below the knee with a pencil shape, we'd be in the realms
of dress perfection. Saying that, when I wear this with my full length wool coat, it looks like I'm wearing nothing else under it which is pretty cool and gets me a lot of attention...
There's a strong chance that my
wardrobe will consist of workwear and pyjamas for at least the next 12 years so
this will be the beginning of a Plus size workwear feature, if you can
recommend anywhere, in particular for taller bizness women, please drop me a
comment!
