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.

I know you aren't all keen but mid calf full skirt is a huge hit Really flattering and feels so much more modern. And dp says it looks very youthful and I know what he means and he never comments much. With heels and navy lambswool jumper

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 05/06/2014 12:33

I love that look! I'm doing it in black this summer. DH not keen. At all.

This decodes the symbol on the Grazia TopShop gift cards

It feels great I really love it.

noddyholder · 05/06/2014 12:36

Grazia gift card (runs up the road to newsagent)?

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 05/06/2014 12:36

Actually, I need a skirt a bit less full than that. Otherwise, fab

It lies quite flat until you move!

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 05/06/2014 12:37

Yep. But check the back of the TopShop gift card, to look for best symbol you can, before buying the Grazia?

Also saw this which is much nicer irl www.hm.com/gb/product/28349?article=28349-E

H&M is funny - you can't actually tell the quality of their stuff, at all, buy looking at their website pics. In real life, some of things are great, but not many, and you have to look hard. Thrill of the chase? Yes.

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 05/06/2014 12:50

Sorry, I should clarify: H&M have some great stuff, but not much, as % of their overall stock.

Need help with tops for those ice blue trs please.

noddyholder · 05/06/2014 22:31

Oh I liked those I like a mushroom colour with that blue and also white

TroyMcClure · 05/06/2014 22:42

Anything dull detracts from the pretty blue. Atm only have white broderie top

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 06/06/2014 06:43

I tend to wear white with pretty pale blue. Its a "cool" colour, so looks best with cool eg white? How about silver accessories (not that I am silver mad, oh no)?

That's as far as I've got today. White broderie silver belt. Could do with 3/4 length sleeve white top maybe

TroyMcClure · 06/06/2014 06:47

Her trews are so big! ;)

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 06/06/2014 06:47

Also seen some pics on Pinterest that make me think a little stone or black would be OK with it, too. So:

  • white top
  • pale blue trousers
  • silver, nude, stone or black accessories

I don't like it w navy for some reason.

I think stone silky top nice with that colour. Not dull quite sophisticated looking white more girly.
