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.

The cut and quality of that blazer is beautiful. I tried the yellow and was too pale for me otherwise I would have kept it.

peach
BLEH

I love peach, but not on blondie me. George Clooney's gf, Amal A, looks perfect in those sorts of colours.

I think this is the H&M skirt I tried on. It comes to my knee, and I'm avg height. Just how tall is this model? tablet.hm.com/gb/product/19184?article=19184-B

Seems like there is a small sale at LKB at present. Pretty pointy flats around the £100 (rather than £180) mark if anyone is feeling flush

Is it in store? I can't see it online

Online too Belinda

There is a "sale" button at the top of the website & if you click on that you see some discounts

Also 25% off a lot of the new stock at Hobbs this weekend, and some big reductions at Jaeger too if anyone likes work clothes from there.

(Hello BTW , have been following this thread with interest as need inspiration re work clothes - love your blog Belinda)

It's non uniform day at work. I'm in the bath. Pondering

Thanks Ponks, I love Jaegar and have some stuff from there that's lasted really well.

Ed - do you like no uniform/dress down days? I've just come back from a conference in a field - clothes were really tricky to get right.

I do when you don't have to factor in torrential rain

Hi Ponks, and thank you.

Oh Bill outdoor grass events really call for flats and wedges, which is v annoying as the only heel I REALLY like is a stiletto one.

Belinda are you planning to feature Uniqlo on your review-a-shop blog section? I was wearing a Uniqlo (ordinary range) silk T shirt the other day that a friend who works in very high end fashion admired greatly - she thought it looked really expensive, and it's already been washed a number of times.

I have a couple of photos from Uniqlo, but your post has reminded me, Bearleigh that I need to go to a well stocked branch and do a trying on session. Will do - thanks! And well done on finding such a lovely sounding top.

Btw 2 of my best belts have come from Uniqlo - definitely somewhere to look for belts. Am wearing a Heattech cami today: such a wonder product. It pills v quickly, but for layering to keep warm, it's the best.

Actually, would stacked / chunky heels be Ok For outdoor grass events, do we think??

They are better than stilettos as they don't sink into the grass. I've destroyed countless pairs of held at marquee style weddings

I got married somewhere hot, no sinky ground in sight, so could wear 5" heels

That should be heels obv... Silly predictive text

I also got married somewhere hot (Sydney) where the ground is dry and heel friendly. How considerate of me, for my guests!

I think anything other than stilettos/kitten heels are fine. Stilettos often a no no at many historic venues too.

My event was very casual, trainers and wellies, so no real issues.

Im really looking forward to finally being able to go in a uniqlo store!

2 weeks til my Bluewater trip :)

JK54 gives 30% off at Baukjen today. Apparently they are doing a new offer every day for the next 4 days, so if you've got your eye on something, sign up for their emails.

Still very expensive though!

it IS expensive for a bit of stretch viscose

I don't own anything from Baukjen,but it always looks good. Just so expensive.

Desperate am at your trip.
