Workwear chatty thread Part 2

[BelindaAllWorkedOut]

Let's talk workwear. Maybe a little bit of non workwear fashion chat, too.

My blog is at theworkwearedit.com but our chat goes above and beyond that.

Yes, nice again - but far too worky for a night out, for me.

Oh I would go out in that for an evening I look terrible in skirts but that would tempt me.

:) I like to go short for nights out! Or jeans.

I wear jeans virtually 24/7 I sometimes wish I 'worked'

I will try skirt with black Bardot type top and denim jacket

Remus. Start a summer nights out thread. But name check blinners in the title. I can't I'm here.

yes bardot and jacket perfect

Yum to Bardot top - but do you wear a bra with it?

yes am all ears re bra straples and me never seem to work well

Oh not that far off the shoulder mate

Where from?

the Shop in my HED

Its hot at work im struggling with clothes. I was thinking maxi skirt...they're ok for work right?

Depends on the workplace really. They'd be fine at mine, but we're quite casual.

Could you wear a shorter dress?

When it's hot I usually wear slim cut cotton trousers, with a silky t shirt or plain t shirt and a jacket for morning/evening. I would love to wear dresses/skirts but my live in the moment 18 year old self decided to get an ankle tattoo so skirts are out for me sadly.

Warm weather work clothes are hard though, autumn winter much more straightforward.

I'm with bill. Couldn't you get the tattoo removed?

Yes I plan to but it's hard to justify the money at the moment. Hopefully once kids are at school we'll have a bit more cash to play with.

My workplace is def more casual than smart. No jeans/ leggings/ strap tops etc but I think a plain black maxi skirt with plain top/ tshirt would be ok. Am looking on asos now, dresses too.

I really want a coral soft cotton blazer!

I wouldn't wear maxi for work mostly because of my age and height. They do strike me as very casual and for wafting about in so would very much depend on the casualness of the workplace.
My Summer staples are ankle length tapered trousers, Boden, Gap, TK Maxx Mango ones look good but there isn't one near me. Top with Breton or striped t-shirt, cowl neck silky tops. Top with a jacket to smarten up. Love dresses and pencil skirts too but sometimes CBA with the leg preparation .

Yeah I know what you mean about the waftiness
I think ill get some slim leg cropped trousers and pencil skirt/ dresses.

I occasionally wear maxi skirts to work, with a plain top and a jacket. I avoid the fussy ones though. We have lots of Muslim girls, in long skirts, so staff in maxis don't look out of place.

" They do strike me as very casual and for wafting about in so would very much depend on the casualness of the workplace" - those are my thoughts, too.

This arrived from M&S
www.marksandspencer.com/jacquard-square-knee-length-pencil-skirt/p/p22304230
I'd seen it in store and thought it looked fab so ordered my size online. It's nice but even the 24in is too long, the 10 is a bit big. I still really like it - just not on me.
I need to bulk buy Summer work clothes due to weight loss - so far I've done welll on trousers, still looking for skirts and dresses. Loved the Oasis floral pencil skirt Blinners. Missed it online and in the shops. Now looking for similar.

This dress might be good? It's a bargain www.oasis-stores.com/fcp-product/3170129961

Cromwell - have you looked at my dresses and skirts Pinterest boards? That M&S skirt looks lovely, how annoying that it doesn't fit well!

Thanks will look. Love the blogg, hadn't spotted the Pinterest board.
