Your five tips to find the perfect outfit
Define what it is you want your wardrobe to say about you and your personal brand. Professional, relaxed, creative, feminine, sporty? Have a look at what you already own and make a list of what is missing. I love capsule wardrobes where each piece works with everything else you own. It’s a massive time saver for working women. Purchase the very best quality you can afford as investment pieces become your cherished wardrobe staples.Make sure you purchase beautifully fitted and comfortable pieces. Accessorize. Firstly, shoes! Shoes can completely change the look of an outfit (they can also DESTROY an outfit if you wear the wrong ones!). Don’t forget about other accessories such as earrings, a great bag and a coat.

If I had a mathematical workwear style formula, it would read:
In my job, I can find myself doing any number of things from unpacking boxes, running around sourcing, meeting clients for fittings or attending slightly more glamorous after work events. Being a mum of three (read NO spare time!) I need outfits that work for everything. For me that usually means jeans, trainers, a cami and blazer for running around, and if I have to dress it up, I can quickly change into heels add statement earrings.
What does style mean to me?
Style is finding what makes you feel beautiful, confident and the very best version of you!
What do you love about Karen Millen?
I love that Karen Millen works with the Aurora Ethical Trading team in London and China and is involved in the development of Ethical Trading strategy. The brand makes incredible quality, classic clothes that can last years.
