The back-to-work staples I've bookmarked for my return to the office (and how to get a discount on all of them)
September is almost here, and with it comes a glorious "fresh start" feeling. I can't be the only one who sets their "new year's resolutions" in September and not in January!? Granted - this year's back-to-school feels aren't quite as prominent as usual... Life seems a little flat after so much uncertainty the gloomiest summer we've had in years. But I am returning to the office this month, and what better way to spark that reset feeling with a wardrobe refresh?
I've moved on from satisfying my sartorial cravings with purchases of summer dresses and sandals, and am going full-steam-ahead with autumn. Y'know: blazers, winter coats, winter boots, white t-shirts that make all your stalwart staples go the extra mile. Designer handbags to carry my winter gloves, AirPods and perfume in.
Luckily, a whole host of my favourites stores are serving up some epic discount codes right now, so I can make some investment purchases (that - crucially - stand the test of time) for less. What have I bookmarked? There's a killer pair of Saint Laurent ankle boots which you can get for £873 (down from £970) with these Net-A-Porter discount codes and a Gucci embroidered knit sweater which will set you back £783 rather than the original £870 with the same Net-A-Porter promo code.
Elsewhere, you can get 20% off your £40 New Look order - so I'm picking up this versatile AF off-white sleeveless vest - and with our Hush discount codes, you can get up to 70% off in the end-of-season sale. This boxy fit satin blazer is coming home with me.
