I love putting outfits together each day, but the first step for me (apart from assessing the weather) is to work out what it is I am doing that day. Am I  shopping? Do I have a meeting? Am I styling? Or am I having a day with mum? Usually if I have a meeting, going shopping or attending an event I will style myself with statement pieces and the essential layering pieces- be it jewellery,shoes or a vest. But for those days with mum, hanging about the home or visiting a friend I have my: Me- Jess Dempsey look which is essentially my 4 key pieces:

1: My Chanel stretch flats (yes I wear flats- in fact I live in them on an average day between the hours of 9-5.30 )

2: A basic T-shirt (preferably my Acne basic tee)

3: A blazer (statement colour or just a black one, Zara usually)

and 4: My silver essential jewellery pieces Fiorina and GAS Bijoux necklaces (which I wear at least 6 days a week)

It is not often you will see snaps of me on my blog wearing something so Jess and so casual because as you know I love playing with fashion- but I thought I would show you how important it is to have some key essentials in your wardrobe for those run-out-the-door looks xxx

Stay tuned for my giveaway!!! xxxxx
