What to Wear to Work - Black Low Heeled Court Shoe

My current work shoes are coming onto a year old now. They might be aging but they are still full of life. However I would like to add a new work to to my work wear wardrobe. My browsing has lead me to an amazing discovery. A great pair of court shoes, suitable for the office and well as an alternative pair. I am calling it the look for less ---> the shoe edition. 

Whistles Cassini Black Heeled shoe £125

- Made with a soft suede upper

- Classic slip on styling

- Pointed toe

- Slim sole

- Low point heel

Office Vital Court Black Microfibre Shoe £15   

The Vital Court is made up of a black microfibre upper, Leather lining, Leather sock, Synthetic sole and a 6.5cm heel height. 

These shoes both meet my requirements for a functional work shoe. 3 inches or less, leather and a neutral colour. The Whistle's Cassini courts  are pricey,  work shoes just like bags are one area of your work wear wardrobe, where it is worth spending that bit extra. I consider them a good long term investment. My Dune courts were £75 and apart from replacing the tips they are still going strong.  If you are a new graduate/young professional/city girl I would recommend picking up a pair of either shoe. As for me I will be counting my sheckles to purchase the office pair asap!!!! The Whistles pair could be acquired after the implementation of a longer term saving plan.

Review: Joules Print Wellies - Navy Stripe

What Joules Say:

     From festivals to farmyards, Joules wellies have making a splash all over the land for years. For women’s traditional wellington boots with a twist, look no further. If you’re after a bright, printed patterned welly, you’re in the right place. Our prints include floral prints, stripes, flying pheasant prints, dog prints and many more. All are classic, practical and made for you to stand out from the crowd in style. Our new Premium Welly Collection includes glossy wellies, zip back wellies and even lace-up wellies, all truly individual and in a handcrafted shape for ultimate comfort and flexibility. They all have a new tread pattern for enhanced grip and a new rubber lining for extra strength and durability. Our new Premium Wellies also come packaged in a beautifully crafted box. Our famous Wellibob ankle boots are also brilliant for keeping feet covered in style. 

What I say:

If you live in England or any of the British Isles you should own a pair of Wellies. In between the rain, hail, sleet and snow I must declare my love for my Joules Wellies. These are my second pair of all weather boots and though I have had Hunter wellie dreams. I am in love with my Joules Wellies. I was trying and trying to hold out from purchasing new wellies but after my last pair of wellies split in the back after 2 years of good service (I literally wore them every day between december 09 - March 10) I decided to take the plunge and just buy these since office had them of offer for £25 reduced from £45. Well my wellies did not come packed in a "beautifully crafted box," but they did come with a plastic draw string bag. At first I was a bit stunned at the bag but then I thought this bag would be quite useful even more so than a box. If there ever is a time where I need to carry my wellies I do not have to worry about getting mud, dirt, snow or water on my clothing. 

All in all my only complaint is that the draw string bag be a little bit stronger. I have not worked my way to committing to a welly bag as yet, therefore I would like a few ore uses out of my drawstring bag before it starts splitting. 

Would I buy full priced? - Yes
Would I repurchase? - Yes 
Would I recommend? - Yes

Stay dry my lovelies
