Preppy Style | Fair Isle Sweater With White Trousers and Brogues

I’ve gone all preppy again – you know you can’t stop me…!

This time I wore my new Fair Isle sweater from Seasalt Cornwall (some of you may have seen me trying on sweaters on my Instagram feed) with smart white trousers (last seen here) and my silver/white brogues. I wore this outfit to the Nuffnang Bloggers Workshop last weekend – I picked up lots of great tips from the excellent guest speakers and will be sharing these in a separate post with you very soon.

Here is one tip for you, however: Do not wear a shirt and sweater combo to a blogger workshop, unless you know you’re going to a venue that’s got chilly aircon. Even though it was the end of November, it was an incredibly mild day in London (i.e. I didn’t really need a coat whilst crossing the river on Blackfriar’s Bridge), and I got really, really hot. The brogues were great because I needed flats for jumping on and off trains and tubes, so that’s one thing I did get right at least. I think I’ve been so used to working in freezing cold offices for so many years that the thought of being inside in winter without a sweater was alien to me. Lesson learnt!

Have you been to any blogger workshops or events lately? If so, what did you wear – and did you find you were practically dressed? Do share in the comments 🙂


P.S. If you like this, why check out what I wore to the Next Bloggers Workshop last year or the SW Blog Social in the summer – all very different…!
