Selfies with Dorothy Perkins

Dorothy Perkins is a British Institution. Known for their key pieces and brilliant collaborations, its been a place I've been shopping at for years.

Today they have just launched an pretty awesome new competition which I just had to let you know about. 

They have just launched their ‘Destination Dress’, which will be the go-to place for all dress-worthy occasions, whether you need a dress for prom, graduation, a wedding or even just a night out with your girls. So to coincide, you can win a new dress every single month of the year!

All you have to do is take a Selfie wearing your favourite Dorothy Perkins dress and tag it using the hashtag #DPDressSelfie on either Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.

We all love a good dress, and our dresses go to come pretty awesome destinations with us. They can take us from a relaxing holiday in the sun, to getting our wiggle on in the latest bar. However, I thought about this, and for me, I spend most of my time at work, and so of course I want to wear something gorgeous there too. I think work clothes can often get forgotten about in blogging, and so I thought I'd take you on a little journey of my daily destination- the working day through the eyes of #selfies

Up and out early, its all aboard the tube for the commuter rush. Now ladies and gents, see that sign above? Yes, mind the gap... please, please do mind the gap. Take it from me, shoes can fall off into that gap...

Working for a bulge bracket Investment Bank, the dress code is pretty smart, however I always make sure I have a swish pair of heels. Should I be this daring in my job? Hmmm.

My day consists of lots of meetings and talking on the phone to people across the world. Going to meetings with some seniors in investment banking can be intimidating. There are definitely the personalities you see on TV, and so without coming across as the token girl, I do find that wearing something nice gives me confidence.  

Although I'm still left needing plenty of coffee.

Though luckily this week my calendar is freeeeeeee.

When I can I like to try and leave the office for lunch. I never usually have time for something big, but a sandwich in the sun is more than enough to keep me smiling.

Dress- Ivory Block Piped Dress

The most gorgeous light colour for summer, its fitted and classy so perfect for the office, but relieves me of the dreaded black attire that's usually staple. 

Afternoons are like mornings; more coffee please! 

Whist busy, there is always time for a quick selfie. All you have to do is upload one like this and boom, a new wardrobe could be yours? Pretty sweet.

As you can probably tell, I'm not usually a selfie person, and so my skills leave a lot to be desired.

So when I saw a girl taking a selfie on the tube going home, I though, better get practising, and so I just had to join in...

To enter, all you have to do, is like me, and take a selfie, using the hashtag #DPDressSelfie

I'd love to see some great work selfies, as in the brilliant words of Destiny's Child- 

All the women who are independent

Throw your hands up at me

All the honey's who makin' money

Throw your hands up at me

Preach it Yonce.
