As someone who dithers over every life decision - what coffee to order, what dress to buy, you name it - I find Monday mornings particularly testing. Choosing what to wear to workis a personal time black hole. One moment I’m staring into my wardrobe, flicking past dresses and jackets and the next thing I know, an hour has gone by and I’m still there in my pants with hangers dangled off every finger. Efficient it is not.

My workaround? Instagram. The first thing I do, and likely (albeit embarrassingly) the last thing I do is look at my phone, likely at Instagram. I’ve turned that vice into a point of inspiration by following women whose personal style is set at an aspirational level. Now, my dithering time is sliding down and my sartorial prowess is on the rise. I am not above copying, in fact, I call it a homage. Here are the five outfits that are the brains behind my more polished, more grown-up office attire
