Love for Miss Selfridge

Continuing with my style challenge, I've decided regardless of my previous posts about lack of options in Miss Selfridge, that I would challenge myself to create an outfit from their online store.

I have admitted before that their online selection is far better than their stores (especially Huddersfield's) - which I suppose is obvious..

 

But anyways, here it is..

 

 " I'm a well dressed sausage, give me a job! "

 

I wanted to post something that would encourage you girls to step away from the classic black look for interviews & into something equally as classy but a little different.

 

1.

Lace peplum dress - £49

 

I could have pushed a royal blue or hot pink number on you guys.. But maybe that would be a little too much..

So, I have chosen a neutral coloured dress, because I believe as much as its important to make yourself memorable at an interview & bright colours can be fun.. But theres a reason the little black dress is a classic, its simple. 

 

You can have the exact same impact by picking the right fabrics to make a statement instead - One of these fabrics is lace. Lace is delicate, classy and something a little special.

Oh & the peplum is a beautiful (and much loved by me in particular) style not only bang on trend but also really smart.

 

2.

Saffi Cream Closed Toe Court - £50

 

These shoes are just too darn cute. But most importantly, smart!

Again you want something that compliments your look without being too outlandish.

Colourful heels do look great with black heels & I'm not knocking those of you that have wore colourful heels to interviews. I just personally prefer a simple shoe.

 

I think the bow detail really lifts this shoe & adds a point of interest without stealing the show away from the lace.

 

3.

Faux Snake Front Clutch - £22

 

I love a good clutch
 & this one not only looks great with the dress, but its also the kind of bag that would literally go with any outfit if you have the right accessories to match.
When it comes to interviews I'm always unsure of bags, and I've been known not to take one at all, but if seems as this challenge required one, this is definitely the one I would snatch up in a flash.

 

4.

Pearl Triangle Stud - £7.50

For interviews I think accessories should be clean and simple.
These studs are stylish without being too 'in your face' & lets face it for under £10 you can't really complain at the price!

 

Wishlist | Died & gone to shoe heaven!

 

Topshop - Wing High Sandals by UNIQUE

£110

I have fell head over heels (har har) with these fabulous sandals! As many of you will already know, I am obsessed with anything animal or bird related and these winged beauties are no exception.

My gosh I'd wear them to Aldi on a trip for eggs & milk if I had the pennies to buy them!

 

Topshop - Sporty Platform shoes

£90

I'm partial to a big platform, however I tend to avoid pink due to my blonde hair, and I would usually try to avoid the 'Barbie' image. However, I could bend the rules for these, the studded sides and thick straps have caught my eye, they scream style and comfort.

 

River Island - Blue Stripe Bow Sandals

£60

I absolutely LOVE these! In yesterdays post 'Love for big jumpers' I expressed my love for all things navy and striped. The nautical theme is still really big and these stunners would look perfect with a pair of leather trousers and flirty blue or cream top.

 

River Island - Black Feather Peep Toe Shoes

£100

Wow, what a show stopping piece! These are the kind of heels that need to be the star of the show. The fringe detail is just simply stunning and perfect for anyone who is looking for that rock chic look. Or for anyone who just wants to make a statement.

 

New Look (Online exclusive) - Chinese Laundry Aztec Platform Shoes

£94.99

Oh my LORD! I would give my right arm to own these babies! These are only available online and cost a pretty penny, but aren't they just totally worth it? Burgundy is a massive trend right now so these would go perfectly with that deep red beauty you've been saving in your wardrobe.

 

Miss Selfridge - Blinky Purple Heeled Boots

£50

Purple? They look cobalt blue to me?
Never mind the technicality's, how fabulous are these boots? These are your stand along shoes, let them take the spotlight and rock with black or beige

 

Office - Kaleidoscope Platform

£80

Seriously in shoe heaven. To look at my own shoe collection these are the shades you are likely to find (If you actually have the time to sift through 200+ pairs) Loving the huge platform and wooden heel. Classy, fabulous, and a staple shoe you NEED in your collection.

 

Boohoo.com - Orla Suedette Platform With Glitter Heel

£30

Again I tend to stay away from these style heels (due to breaking my ankle years ago and being unstable in anything that doesn't support them) But purple is a colour I'd love to be able to rock and my magpie like personality is on overdrive with the glitter heels.

 

House Of Fraser - KG Vixen Boots

£79

Vixen is right! You'd look absolutely ready to take over the world in these shoe boots. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!  They remind me a little of Kandee style boots too but half the price, which is always a winner!

So this is my dream collection for my shoe rack.

No doubt my magpie eyes will be on something different next month, but until then, I can carry on dreaming I guess!
