Hi guys, and welcome back to Haul Rox on Videojug with me, Alana. This week I'm going to be
doing a haul on kind of like smart, casual work
wear that's quite tailored and a little bit structured.
Now for work wear, you don't want anything too crazy
jewelry wise, so I got this little pearl bracelet, but it's from ASOS. It's a brand called Orelia
I think that's how you say it, and I got it for ten pounds.
It's very pretty and very supple, quite delicate actually.
It's got these little tiny pearls that go all the way around
and it's got little gold hearts at the bottom, which is so sweet.
I got this skirt from ASOS. It was 32 pounds, and it's
a really, a really good appropriate length for a work skirt.
It comes to about the knee length, and it's such a bright color.
I mean, if you're ever bored with work wear, you can
really like add a big old color to your outfit, so this one
actually has a, sort of like a painted effect to it, with a
lace overlay, and it has a lining as well. I think this would
look really nice with a, kind of like a, leotard body-con
top, and a very smart blazer and some pumps. I got this bag from Oasis. It was 28 pounds,
which is actually quite good value for money for Oasis.
What I really like about this bag is the paneling. I'm such a green fan, like a lime green, and
it's got a little section here in the back, gold edging, a really cute
buckle in the front. It's got this chain detail as well,
which is really nice and really elegant and classy.
It's a great bag to just shove like, your essentials in
and just like, chuck over your shoulder. For work wear, I love Mango so much. I think
it's really good value for money. I got these shorts
for 22.99 from Mango, and they're so, so flattering.
They kind of just float over your legs. They're not too clingy;
they're very smart and look really nice with a blazer.
Um, team them up with like, a pair of wedges and you're
good to go. ASOS has a really good jewelry range; they
have a brand called Pieces, and they have some really amazing
pieces, but they have this really amazing necklace. How nice is this? If I wore this,
I would probably wear it with a shirt like this actually, have
it kind of underneath the collar. It's very tribally,
and has all these little like, ridges and sections to it. It's
a nice little number to sort of take from work to, you know, a
night out afterwards. Now you know how much I love ASOS, and I think
it's much easier to do my shopping online as well.
So I got this shirt/blouse for 25 pounds at ASOS, This
is going to be one of my staple pieces for this summer.
It's just a plain black vest, and it's got like, a sheer
texture to it, so I'd probably have to wear it with straps
up underneath, for work anyway. But you know, if you
want to make it a little bit more sexy after work, you
could always, you know, just wear a bra underneath. I mean, you could wear skinny jeans with it,
you could wear like a pair of shorts with it;
it kind of is one of those pieces that goes with everything, and it's great, it's
got no sleeves as well, so when you do get hot and flushed
in the summer, it's not going to be a problem.
The best thing about summer is getting to wear so many
cute dresses, and this is one of my favorites I've found.
This one is from ASOS, and it's 55 pounds. It's such
an appropriate length. It comes to about the knee, and
it's got this little belt that goes with it. It really like, cinches
you in at the waist, which is where you want to be
cinched in, and it's got this really nice detailing, like
round the top, kind of like crochet effect. It's got the low
sleeves as well. It's really pretty and a real summer
number, especially the color as well. It's perfect.
It's not coat season anymore. We can wear, you know,
like a lightweight blazer, and this one is perfect. This
one is from Mango, and it's 59.99. It's so structured,
and it's got kind of like, shoulder pads in it, a really
nice material. It's not too heavy, it's very throwback 80s
with a modern twist kind of feel. It hasn't got a collar,
which I really like. It's really sleek, and it hasn't got
fasteners either. It's one of those pieces that you can
just throw on top of anything. Nautical is also really
on trend this season, so a jacket like this is great.
If you want something a bit more office wear, a little
smarter, this dress is such a good option. It's from
Warehouse, and it's 68 pounds. It's got lots of different
panels there. It's got a really nice cream section with
blacks and grays, and this is the best bit. The back is really flattering. It's got like
this open back here, with the v, so it's quite sexy, but
in a very smart, classy way, and it's got a little section
at the top as well, so it holds everything in place. I would team
this with like, a pair of smart horseshoe heels and
a smart blazer. It's a really good option. You can
just take the blazer off when it gets a little bit hot
and you'll still look really, really smart.
So I got these shoes because I had so many recommendations from a few of my friends,
even my mom, even a customer in the shop actually
told me to buy them because she was coming in to
buy a second pair. That's how good, that's how
good I know they are. These are from Clarks, and
they are 54.99, and they are so smart. They do them
in like a range of colors. They do them in this shade
which are nude, they do them in gray, black and white.
This is kind of like a nudie-pink color. The reason
these are so great are you can't get such a decent
pair of shoes, and they really, really last a long time,
and if you are at work all day, these are so
comfortable. It says softwear inside them, and I
know for a fact they are, because so many people
told me. They're so on trend as well. These go with
trousers, skirts, dresses; they will go with everything.
And they also have this little patent detail on them,
and this is a little bit of something extra to them.
I found these trousers for 35 pounds in Top Shop,
and they are quite smart fabric, but they have that really
fun element to them, they've got little tiny elephants
all over them. These would look so cute with a little white shirt and maybe a little black
blazer, just something a little bit quirky and different.
Next up I have these shoes from Top Shop. They're
35 pounds. Now you can't get summer without a pair of some sort of ballet shoes or flats.
These are in a really, really cute pink color, and
they're real leather, really breathable as well, especially
with the little bit of gaps in them. So I'd probably
wear these with like a skirt or dress, just to sort of
finish it off with a real feminine touch. This dress is so great to go from work to
a night out, or even just drinks. It's from Mango,
and it's 22.99, and it's got that bandage effect to it, that really cinches
you in where you want to be cinched in. Nautical
is also so on trend, like I said. This isn't just
like a boring nautical sandstripe. It's actually got the
thinner stripe and goes all the way down to the bottom,
very flattering. I've worn this actually before
with a little blazer, a little pair of heels. It's really,
really great as a go-to summer outfit. Anyway, thank you
