Workwear is kind of like sticking to a diet - if you don't get creative with it, it becomes unbearable.
Metallic pleated skirts
Pair a shimmery skirt with a classic black or white boxy top and be the definition of party at the bottom/business on top. These beauties could be worn with heels, espadrilles, and even trainers.
Shop some from MRP.

5 local fashion girls whose wardrobes we seriously want to raid
Embroidered beauty
Embroidered dresses are currently the bizzness. And again, this type of dress is as versatile as an egg.
Wear it with trainers if you have a more chilled work vibe, or wedges/heels if the opposite is true.
Culottes
This is the stylish version of harem pants. Deceivingly "corporate" these babies are your comfy boss pants.
Shop some from Spree.co.za
Fluffy shoes
No that's not a chicken on my foot, it's faux feather sliders from Topshop!
This shoe certainly conveys the message that you don't take yourself all too seriously. Now, whether this is true or not, you should seriously start considering your footwear as a strategic partner.
Cool as a damn cucumber shorts
Who doesn't want an outfit that screams G&T fuelled safari holiday?! Earthy neutrals in light fabrics might be the perfect look for those in need of a daily dose of calm.
Shop these shorts at your local vintage haunt.
Oversized white shirt
Now, I'm not saying you should wear a bra as outerwear over your shirt, but you technically could if you wanted to.
Otherwise, this crisp cloud of classic beauty could literally be worn a hundred different ways.
Shop some from Selfi.
Sex up those shoulders
I don't know who to blame for the shoulder/toned arm revival (maybe Michelle Obama?), but fierce shouldered women the world over (especially swimmers, I can relate) are jubilant in the exposure of these particularly bony limbs.
Shop some lovely tops from Superbalist.com.
