With an inundation of 'reality' TV shows boasting fantastic entertainment and overflowing wardrobes, our already short attention spans have spread to clothing. Why can't we change what's in our wardrobes as often as the cast of our guilty addictions Made in Chelsea and The Only Way is Essex?

Having started my new job as a PR and Marketing assistant, I've spent many an hour musing over the perfect working wardrobe. As so much is made of it in endless publications, it seems only right that I should contemplate it. My list has come down to the following:

• Nude heels
• Trench coat
• Black skirt (pencil or other)
• Black dress
• Waterfall cardigan
• High waisted trousers
• thick and thin waist belts
• selection of colourful tops
• white shirt
• camisoles
• snakeskin flats

In my bid to be eternally stylish, accessorising is required (in moderation). I vote for pearls, faux or real, a selection of rings and a simple necklace. A watch, of course, is imperative, but dangling bracelets are not. 

Fashion is gorgeously fun, but I believe it is detracting from our ability to interact; we squabble over someone buying the same as us and focus more on what we will wear out than what we'll do when we get there. At work this refined approach is more important than ever in a world where ostentation is no longer revered, but sniggered at.
