Boiler Room

I am not going to lie when I bought my boiler suit I know it was going to be a hit or miss. But to be truthful it has not yet seen the light of day since I bought it back in January.

In soft blue chambray from MiH jeans. There is a similar one here but I got mine in the sale.

I know it's not everyone's cup of char but I really love it but like some  kind of new kid on the block/ school / office I daren't wear it for being judged by my fellow men or women come to that. Now let me tell you I have followed a few styles so I have been known to wear the odd "out there" piece.  Good grief. I should have realised even I might struggle with this one when it mentions on the website that this item of clothing being "a show -stopper". 

Just need a bit of courage for this one.

Heels are a must. This suit with any sort of trainers is going to look too casual. So I'm going to go out in it on Saturday. Him Indoors will look perplexed but as usual I'll ignore him and carry on regardless.  Because in my mind I look like this.

(Unfortunately the reality might be a bit different.  I love the way the exact same one as I have got has been cinched with a belt. Not sure I'll go with the white stilettos though)

Other boiler suits I'm really taken with is this one from Topshop.

So have I gone completely bonkers or do you think I'll get away with it?  

 I have been working all week and as I'm trying to fit in as much training as possible I have been running there and back. You have not done anything to deserve seeing me in my tatty running gear. I think I'll have to blog about running attire soon as I'm researching what bits and pieces I need for the next few months.  But I did get some inspiration from a couple of blogs recently. The ideas of flared jeans and Breton tops were swirling around in my mind and hey presto. Work outfit today was sorted

Black blazer - Paul Smith Black (old)

Flared trousers - Jaeger London (old)

Breton t shirt - Joseph (old)

Mulberry Daria hobo 

Black patent ankle boots from Russell and Bromley (very ,very old) 

I'll come back and let you know how I get on in the boiler room. If someone asks me if I can fix their car you will know it all went horribly wrong.
