Like Laura Ashley, Hobbs is one of those places that I really can't afford to shop at but I still do. The thing is, their clothes and shoes are so well made that they are worth spending a bit more on and also the designs and the attention to detail really are something else. Although I'm not snobby about brands, I do think it is always worth getting the highest quality you can afford along with only buying clothes that you really love and Hobbs fits both those criteria! I bought this top in the sale before Christmas and have been waiting for the weather to warm up so I can wear it properly. Although it is sleeveless, the higher neckline means that I can wear it to work and keep cool without flashing too much flesh, always a winner!

I absolutely fell in love with the print on this top when I saw it (unfortunately the top isn't available but this rather lovely dress is instead) and I knew that it would be so versatile as I own a lot of clothes in red, blue and yellow. It is quite a loose fit for me but it looks equally nice tucked in as it does untucked, over some skinny jeans or slim-fit trousers...
I think pencil skirts can be super flattering if you have a figure similar to mine as they tend to skim my wobbly bits quite nicely and the stretchiness helps to fit my odd measurements, I told you that there was quite a substantial difference between my waist and hips!

What do you wear to keep cool in the heat? Which brands do you love?

Love this outfit! I find it so difficult to dress for the office in this weather, but this looks lovely!

You look stunning, and wow is your waist tiny! I love the pattern on your top, fun but grown-up enough for the office. I'm so glad I don't have full time work atm, being able to wear whatever I want in this weather makes my life so much easier xo
That top is gorgeous, I love the print! I completely agree about buying more expensive clothes - I always feel a bit guilty when I spend so much money on one item, but they always fit much better and last longer so it's definitely worth it.
I have a similar jersey pencil skirt from H&M and I have the same problem with it rolling up - so annoying!

I've heard such great things about Hobbs recently, and already know that their quality is amazing. I don't mind paying more if I know it's something that will really last.
The top is such a lovely piece.
And I'm a massive fan of pencil skirts. This one fits you so well.
Twit twoo Maria! ;) You have the most beautiful figure, those curves! Love this ensemble, you look so chic. I don't usually go into Hobbs either (student loan = minimal budget) but always have a look through the window at the beautiful boots in the wintertime ♥ Claire @ Jazzpad
That top is sooo cute!

I love the print, you just don't find nice things like that in cheaper shops. I think you should spend good money on items like shoes and underwear becasue you wear them so much. A top like this can be worn for so many occasions, worth it! x
I love that top! Sleeveless blouse's are perfect for keeping cool at work :) x
You look so chic and smart! I love this look on you, you're hair would look fab in a beehive with this look too! You look so pretty! x
