I have a feeling of deja vu concerning lockdown and perhaps you do too. The first national lockdown enabled us at Semple to reset ourselves and put in place new ways of working. This included hosting bespoke events for you and your colleagues/networks. Another was creating new products such as our face covers and more recently our all purpose dress.

For the second lockdown we would like to continue to stay in touch. Let us know if you would like to meet others and we will curate an event for you. Or, as before, be in touch if you would like a 1-1 catch up.

As many of us have settled (again) into the new normal of working from home, it is apparent that our online attire has shifted away from our city office wear. Whilst we want to dress comfortably and conveniently for the home virtual environment, we also need to remember to sustain our visual identity as we would when attending face to face meetings in person.

That's why we are now offering you the opportunity to create the perfect all-purpose dress in our new scuba crepe fabric at a limited offer price of £350. We listened to your questions from our last newsletter and one that many asked was if you could choose your own dress style in this fabric. We can officially say this is now an option! 

Our scuba crepe comes in a great range of vibrant colours seen below to allow you to stand out on screen whilst sitting comfortably at your desk. The stretchy fibres allow flexible movement whilst providing structured coverage, without the need for lining. The perfect solution for attending back to back zoom meetings and then to dash on the school run!

Email Dulcie today with your colour choice and dress style and she will sort your order for you.

Dulcie sets you a task this month to think about how your top half appears on screen. Challenge yourself and opt for a brighter coloured top or different hairstyle for your next virtual call. Put some lipstick on to give you a boost on a dreary morning. You'll be amazed at how your confidence will grow and you'll have a much stronger online presence as a result. Look at the difference in Dulcie's appearance below with just a change of top!

Be sure to let Dulcie know how you get on.

As you know, we are big supporters of the arts and want to push this even further during the pandemic. Our wonderful opera singing client Katerina Mina, featured in the Semple Edit VI, has a series of seasonal performances coming up at London restaurants 'The Crazy Coqs' and 'Fidelio Orchestra cafe' during December. She has the most beautiful voice and she will be singing from the piano. We would love for you to attend and join her if you can.

Kind regards,

Maggie
