I lot of the fashion blogs I've looked at tend to be more 'school gate' fashion - great for inspiration for weekend wear, but I work full-time and would really like some inspiration for workwear. I follow twentymumthings blog as that's got some workwear, but are there any others that you could recommend?

bunnymother - the poses in that blog are well funny - she's definitely on the sauce.
I suppose it makes a refreshing change from the pigeon-toed self-consciousness you usually get.

I wasn't planning on linking to this, yet, but this thread is timely (I've actually already posted on it, under my normal name), so here's a link to what I have started working on: //www.theworkwearedit.com.
I am at the very beginning of this, so its a real work in progress. However, it will be an online compilation (an edit, if you will 
) of what I consider to be the best workwear on the high street (focusing on natural fibres, value for money and flattering, appropriate pieces).
Most of the workwear content is on Pinterest (www.pinterest.com/workwearedit/), with boards for trousers, shoes etc, and also street style workwear photos (www.pinterest.com/workwearedit/workwear-style-inspiration/). I will be moving the content to the website, but thought I'd link in case it was of interest, now.
Also, I have just started to blog on the workwear edit website (theworkwearedit.com/the-blog/), too.
As you can tell from my user name, I'm Belinda from the AllWornOut blog, so, yes, Ann and, also, Mon post photos of their lovely, corporate workwear outfits. You' would think I would be used to putting myself "out there", due to the AWO blog, but I'm nervously pressing "post message" this time. I'd better rush off, now, and join the MN bloggers network.

OOOh Belinda from allwornout....you said (on blog) that you were working on a new project. Good luck....the pinterest boards look good.
I like the style you're showing...clean, fuss free, not high fashion but knowing the direction.
I couldnt work in 100mm heels, with a fussy top and tight bottoms. Not physically comfortable, nor practical, nor me.

wilting - thank you so much! How funny - I have plans to "recreate" some of the street style photos, preparing an outfit board using pieces currently available on the high street. Your comment re wanting to enjoy fashion while still going to work resonates - that's how it's been with me. It was also the case for many of my female colleagues. Corporate environments can limit your ability to embrace fashion [understatement], but it's not impossible!
I've just spent a while at Jigsaw trying on their workwear and am having lunch before heading to Cos. Will be quite interested to see how their things fit me. I'll try the dress you linked.
LordPalmerston - I wasn't expecting your comments! . But I'm glad - you seem a sensible soul, so thank you. It will be hard to create a blog and website that suits everyone and their varying workwear dress codes, but I'll try to cover the good value, natural fibres on the high street. At least most people can wear the Gap trousers and skirts, so they were good to find. I'll add your comments as from "A Reader" to the blog post, as they were helpful.
Thanks again, feedback is very helpful as I'm at the start of something new.
