Oh wise mumsnetters please can you help?
I've landed a great job as part of the finance team at head office of a high end fashion retailer. Of all things I'm stressing about what to wear!
I've been told that there isn't a dress code but I should go 'smart casual with no jeans' at first until I've established 'business relationships.'
To be honest I have never really understood the whole 'smart casual' thing. Currently my wardrobe consists of suits and very smart dresses for my current work, or skinny jeans, v casual t-shirts etc out of work.
Methinks I'm going to have to invest in a new wardrobe (including shoes!). Please can anyone help with some basic essentials to get me through my first few weeks?
I'm totally clueless and will be forever grateful if anyone can help. I suddenly feel very initimated that I'm going to be working amongst fashion buyers and designers who will no doubt look fabulous. In case it helps - I'm short (5'2ish), apple shaped and a size 8-10.
