In a couple of weeks I'm starting a new job. The first day will be an induction meeting key people/bosses etc. Usually the dress code is officey but for this first day it's casual and I don't know what to wear. All my casual stuff is manky old vest tops and ill fitting jeans and I want to make a good first impression! Can anyone help?

I would wear either blue or beige Capri pants or slacks and a white shirt with ballet flats and a smart jacket. Something like that. Nice jewellery

Is it some sort of away day where everyone will be casual? How old are you?

Everyone will be casual. I'm 33 and I don't want to dress too dowdily. I'm really comfy in dresses in the summer, so I was thinking of something like this:
www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-button-through-linen-midi-dress-with-pephem-and-belt/prd/10937206?clr=black&colourWayId=16356055&SearchQuery=button%20through%20midi%20dress

Or this:

www.asos.com/oasis/oasis-button-through-midi-dress-in-blue/prd/12132876?clr=blue&colourWayId=16413724&SearchQuery=button%20through%20midi%20dress

Are they too casual? Usually I'd wear jeans, I just don't want to start off looking shit!

Tricky!

I'd go with the blue one myself, with some comfy shoes - espadrilles, flats, Converse, funky trainers.

Much better than your ill-fitting jeans.

Either would be fine. I'm quite tempted to buy the blue one myself.
