I'm applying for jobs and hoping to get back to work and i'd really like a lovely suit, trouser or just below knee pencil skirt and a single breasted jacket that nips in at the waist. Black, dark grey or possibly navy? Ideally £100-£150 all in...any ideas/links much appreciated Smile

Size(s)?

FauxFox · 06/07/2012 21:47

Sorry 12 Smile

I quite like this not sale though...and probably a black trouser suit is more 'classic'?

Or hobbs maybe?

Ah, right. Excellent. This is only in a 12 (top and bottom the same) - Hobbs - a real beauty. Didn't want to link if not in size...

Blouse and shoes cheap is easy

That shade of grey always looks a bit subservient / junior to me. Maybe I'm odd. 'tis a great shape though.

Pro the hobbs link is gorgeous, the trousers are reduced by £85 Shock

I struggle to find nice fitted blouses that don't make me sweat Blush

ProcrastinationAteMyMorning · 06/07/2012 22:11

Yeah but only left in a 16. the pencil skirt is sooo good though.

ProcrastinationAteMyMorning · 06/07/2012 22:12

Pissy - is it 'cause you is norky? pepperberry do a couple

ProcrastinationAteMyMorning · 06/07/2012 22:18

Navy one each left of jacket, trousers & skirt. Looks like a great cut.

ProcrastinationAteMyMorning · 06/07/2012 22:28

wow

oowee this thread is dangerous. I just got a job but it's in EYFS. I don't think I'd dare wear one of these for work although I really want to! I love suits!

PissyDust · 06/07/2012 22:32

I'm no where near norky I'm afraid. I get anxious new role and either my deo lets me down or the thickness of my shirt.

I love pencil skirts and white shirt or suit with bodysuit underneath.

FauxFox · 06/07/2012 22:33

Love the Hobbs Kirsten Pro such a shame those trousers aren't available in a 12, do like the skirt too though, very tempting! Know what you mean about the grey - think it's the school uniform connotations!

Yes! yes indeed that's it. Ours was grey with a yellow blouse (ffs) and a grey and yellow tie. Barf.

FauxFox · 06/07/2012 22:41

Mine was grey and green Envy
