Help with outfits please

[gyi3]

Need smart-casual outfits for work for warmer weather.
I'm so fussy and self-conscious that I'm finding it really difficult to find what to wear to the office in the summer (I'm in a medical professional role).
I thought about midi dresses but I have skinny legs/ankles (not to mention very pale although I do have gradual tanner that I'm going to building into my routine) and very skinny/bony/veiny feet. I hate my toes so sandles are a no go too
Help!!!

Perhaps you might find some helpful threads on the S&B board?

Sone information on your body shape and size might also be useful

I'm thin (size 8) and 5'6. I have long thin arms, pretty much flat chested if that helps

I'm also in my early 30s so don't want to dress too old or too young either

I admit I’m slightly unclear about what the issue is! Dresses and sandals aren’t compulsory for Summer - there are plenty of other choices.

Personally I long for slim legs and tiny ankles. And everyone has toes - no one is particularly noticing the details of anyone else’s, as long as they’re clean and at least minimally groomed. Also surely open toe-d footwear might be problematic in a medical setting. It wouldn’t be my first choice.

Anyway - suggestions:

Trousers:

Shoes:

Linen trousers and a light cotton shirt (with short / rolled up sleeves if required for your role).

Also, I highly doubt anyone is looking at your ankles in shock at their skinniness 😱 if you want to wear a midi dress just wear one.

There’s no such thing as ‘too old’ or ‘too young’. Most adults are perfectly capable of choosing clothes they like, and can afford, that fit them and are suitable for their purpose. That is all that need be considered.

My job is non-clinical (office based) so no practical considerations required

@Aixellency thanks. There isn't an issue as such. Just looking for ideas on what to wear to the office 🤷🏽‍♀️
We all want what we don't have I suppose. I long to be curvy. I used to be a chunkier size 10 and I miss it so much. Was much more confident in my own skin. Now I just feel like a gangly stick insect. Thin ankles and long feet are not pretty IMO. My toes are almost deformed so no nail polish or pedicure is going to make it better unfortunately.
Thank you for the suggestions. I'll try those

Okay - so this is more an issue with your self-perception and confidence than actual clothing?

You don’t say if your weight loss is through illness or some other cause. I hope whatever it is - is now under control?

You don’t have to buy the clothes people link! I was merely suggesting a couple of brands you might not be familiar with.

I'd go for midi shirt dresses (F&F at Tesco have some lovely ones in atm) with closed-toe espadrille wedges. And linen trousers with floaty blouses!

Do you think I could wear these? Or too casual? Was thinking with midi dress or skirt. Others wear DMs in the office and apparently DM sandals in the summer
