Fashion dilemma of the week

Work mode ON

Even though we can still enjoy a lot of sun and temperatures above 20 degrees, summer is actually almost over. Of course, we prefer to ignore that for as long as possible, and for some of us, that works quite well. But what most of us unfortunately struggle to ignore is that ugly alarm clock on your nightstand. Yes, the alarm. And after hitting snooze a few times, you know what you have to do, because this is the moment when your vacation vibe has to make way for work mode. Believe me: you are not the only one who is bummed about this.

To at least prevent an early winter slump, there is only one thing to do: create a smashing wardrobe. So it's time to take a good look at your office wear or maybe even school look. Walking into the office or classroom day after day like a fashionista seems harder than it is. You don't need much; it's all about the right ingredients. Curious about those ingredients? I've lined up all the essentials for you.

Dress, €49.95 Zara Blouse with bow, €35.99 Mango Ankle boots, €1,150 Valentino Shoulder bag, €49.95 Zara Laptop skin, €21.95 My Interior Musthaves

This sleeveless dress makes everyone happy. Wear a blouse with a bow underneath or a sweater over it for a tougher twist. And those boots are the cutest if you ask me. Embroidery is an upcoming trend in shoe land. And the great thing about this trend is that you can easily get started with an old boring shoe. I say: schedule that DIY afternoon this weekend! Crossbody bag on and your workweek can begin.

Vest, €49.99 Mango  Sleeveless top, €7.99 H&M  Trousers, €605 Haider Ackermann Backpack, €1,900 Saint Laurent  Sneakers, €385 Alexander McQueen

Color is fun, but a total look in one color can be quite intense on your first day behind your desk. A cool bag or maybe a laptop sleeve as an eye-catcher can actually be enough.
