#MondayMotivation: back to work with a bang

Green

Forest greens, usually reserved for hopeless winter days, are now fast-becoming a summer palette staple. Pairing these hues with white and black and some silver jewellery might just turn you into the modern day equivalent of a Medieval knight!

White

Linen. Crisper than a thrice fried potato chip, white linen is a brisk summer breeze in textile form. It's light, breathable and pairs perfectly with a cherry red lip stain.

We are also loving the pyjama-as-daywear trend in white.

Summer is THE time to take your pins on a safari of the office environment. Take them on a stroll to the kitchen, maybe past the water cooler, or bring them to a halt for a chat with a colleague in the hallway on your way to a meeting. Who knows what they'll see!

Hair

A change is as good as a holiday, and since most of us just returned from holiday, what can be more inviting than another break? We are still loving candyfloss tresses and blunt fringes.

Stay hydrated

Back to work means back to reality - i.e. no alcoholic beverages before 12pm...ag, I mean until after work.

Replenish those electrolytes with water, healthy snacks like watermelon and coconut water.*

*Please refrain from walking around the office drinking from an actual coconut (organic I assume) - colleagues might fear you've joined an island cult whilst on holiday.
