I'd use it to spruce up my work wardrobe as I usually use charity shops!

This is lovely www.monsoon.co.uk/lillian-metallic-polka-dot-dress-black-10002380001.html

And this www.monsoon.co.uk/sabitha-stripe-midi-shirt-dress-black-10006710001.html

Would make me feel a lot more professional.

Lovely picks. Both look amazing with a long black wool coat and knee-high boots!

Kara ruffle blouse and malika corduory skirt - probably with boots similar to the pic with the skirt, although the Gwen Mary Janes would go - but I dont think my feet would get on with them. I absolutely love the fern fairisle cardi - and I would team that with the malika skirt too. This would be workwear or going out wear.

The red of this cardigan is amazing! Such a versatile piece for work / out out / school run. I’d pair it with some leopard print trousers or jeans but wondering what other bottom would be good and not so safe iyswim?

Totally! There are lots I would pair this with that feels fresh and exciting so I'll share a few of my favourite ideas...

Our Aida leopard print mini skirt with a pair of knee-high boots will pack more punch than your usual leopard jeans.

Our Parker brown faux-leather trousers, Amber suedette pencil skirt and Phoebe embroidered velvet mini skirt look fab with this on days you're bored of denim.

I love a bit of colour clashing, so you could try pairing the hot red with soft rose pink with our Malika cord skirt

Our Sia sequin midi skirt with this cardi definitely hits your brief. Mixing occasion with cosy makes for my favourite evening outfits.

Enjoy!

I’ve just spotted this - LOVE it! Is it too early to think about Christmas? 😅Could this work with the red cardi? 🤔

Never too early! And absolutely, our Sia skirt + Cora cardi might just be my favourite pairing right now. https://www.monsoon.co.uk/cora-frill-crew-neck-cardigan-red-10010980006.html

This whole outfit is perfect for school run, then a late breakfast with the school mums!

I am terrible with clothes - I am drawn to beautiful looking clothes but I'm never sure
how to style things - what to wear with what, what looks OK on me - I'm a 16ish shaped like a pregnant apple (not pregnant to be clear but frequently mistaken for being so :-( )

I love the new monsoon collection, I went on looking for inspiration for work clothes, but was immediately struck by this https://www.monsoon.co.uk/fawn-fair-isle-collar-cardigan-natural-10011320015.html
and this https://www.monsoon.co.uk/wilma-long-sleeve-denim-midi-dress-blue-10007480085.html
which are both lovely. After years of being in uniform all the time for work I now have a role which means I'm sometimes office based so need ordinary work wear. It's not super smart, I currently tend to wear black or grey trousers with a white shirt so very safe and boring. Do you think either of these would do for work? And what would I put with them, especially shoes?!

I hear you on the work wardrobe, it can be a challenging brief. I love both those styles and think they would look great on you. If your office is casual enough for denim then I'd wear the Fawn cardigan with our Ruby wide leg jeans and some tan ballet flats or ankle boots. I'd wear the Wilma dress with the same shoes and the Fawn cardi draped over my shoulders. To finish the look, I'd pair with a burgundy shoulder bag.

If denim feels a bit scary for your office, I've found two beautiful cord dresses (the Edith and Kaia) in a similar cut to Wilma, which I'd pair with knee-high boots and either a long black wool coat or shorter wool jacket.

Thanks so much MonsoonStylist, I love those cord dresses!

felissamy · 13/09/2024 20:58

This dress is very pretty. I'd wear it to first social meeting with new work colleagues next week, to make a pretty and colourful impression.
