Smart casual .
It can be tricky.
You want to be chic, slightly dressed up but look effortless.
My tip?
It’s about table top dressing.
How you dress from the waist up.
Which means investing in statement tops and pretty blouses.
You want the attention on top of the body.
You want a soft floaty blouse or even a sequin top.
Something that has low key evening written all over it.
Which is why a big poet sleeve or a major cuff always looks so right.
I think SABA are doing some fabulous blouses at the moment at affordable prices.
Like this grey blouse here ( looks no buttons! also in blue!) and this fabulous white blouse here and the lovely chiffon blouse here. 
Note to self : see how the chiffon looks so great with leather !
Love this Witchery blouse, it’s in an expensive looking fabric and colour.
And this white cotton ruffle blouse is a winner.
And the strong shoulders give it an little edge.
Then what’s modern: dress it down with grey jeans, chinos or slouchy pants.
You want the contrast of denim or cotton with evening fabrics.
Pull on sexy heels or pointy flats.
Throw a navy or a white blazer even a beige trench…just nonchalantly sitting over your shoulders.
In terms of jewellery:
Loving little pearl drop earrings at the moment. Subtle but adds light next to the face.
This is good !
Hint: A sneaky designer bag or clutch will take it to another level.

Get dressed up even if you’re at home it will make you feel instantly better.
