With the new year came the promise of spring and the hope that maybe this year we had escaped any really really cold weather in the UK. Well, it might not be quite as cold as Eastern Europe where temperatures have dropped to -20C but February has certainly brought winter with it!

In an attempt to keep warm and stylish and work-appropriate – three things which are harder to get right all at once than one might imagine – I turned to Uniqlo for inspiration. I now have two of these cashmere blend jumpers. I love the preppy, jumper and shirt look but rarely rock it myself but decided to take one of the shirts that my sister picked up at the Charles Tyrwhitt sample sale and try the two together. I think it works. What do you reckon? How are you keeping snug and stylish in the cold weather?

I was wearing: Charles Tyrwhitt shirt (similar here); Uniqlo cashmere blend jumper; and Gap black skinny jeans.

Shirt? Check!

This is my preppy look. No doubt about it, when I wore this outfit I felt a little I should have traded my heels for wellington boots and added a Barbour and been out in the countryside. Or alternatively, running in and out of shops on the Kings Road!!*

Super Stylish Sis works for Charles Tyrwhitt and recently went to one of their sample sales and managed to snag this shirt for me – no idea how much it was (it seemed rude to ask unless I was going to offer to pay for it!!!) but the website has some really bargainous offers in the sale.

Do you like the clutch? Do you?!! I am in love *swoon* I have been looking for a leather day-clutch for a while now and when I saw this in the Asos sale I know I just had to have it. Not only that but it’s great for this summer’s colour block trend too.

I am wearing: Charles Tyrwhitt shirt, H&M jeans, Blink heels (via Spartoo) and Asos clutch.

*Please note – this is not negative but just not my normal style!!

This shirt has been sitting in a bag in the bottom of my wardrobe for a few weeks now and today I decided it was definitely time to get it out.
