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.

Has anyone been in zara lately? It's too much of a schlep for me, am doing a wardrobe radical rehash as have lost weight and look like I'm dressing up in my mums clothes tbh. Am petite so need petite fit or three quarter sleeves. Has anyone seen these jackets in real life?

i have got white pale pink and fuschia to qualify for free del

Brill - i dont do short jackets generalyl but like the red colour

Yes thanks, Belinda. Well, until I nearly fell asleep in my curry (had been awake since three o' clock yesterday morning and up since 5). Wore leopard flats, black combats, black silk t-shirt and denim jacket - was fine.

Like the look of those Zara jumpers, although most of them far too colourful for the likes of me. Pity there's not a grey.

theres a sludge? ( hopeful face *

The 'Sand' colour? Nope - I look corpse-like. The bright pink might suit me.

i have that

will try

Love the Sicilian widow look btw, Belinda. Am getting a bit old for it now though, as it looks TOO real! I put my black VW dress on last night and looked like a middle aged frump in it - horrible. :(

Love those jumpers think i'll get a few Did you get small? I bought a short jacket from zara about a month ago army green and have worn non stop which has surprised me! A short jacket is another thing that gives your other stuff a new look. Recommend

Troy try this

I like the sound of Sicilian widow

Think I'll get the black sand and coral

Brillenbar - I went to Zara yesterday and all those blazers are REALLY nice looking. The white and red / orange ones (it looks dark orange in RL) are my favourites and I plan to buy the red / orange one. It's the one I saw 2 women wearing yesterday. I do need a white jacket, too, though.

Oh Remus - sounds like you suffer a bit. Not good. Monica Belluci still does Sicilian Widow well, and she is 49. I think the trick is to slap on the make up, keep hair glossy, add bling and foxy shoes?

Has anyone seen anything like those Kate Moss shoes in todays DM a bit like shoe boots for wearing with bare legs but not the £££ price tag? i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/06/06/article-2650396-1E831AAC00000578-89_306x700.jpg

I love Mossy..and spend a great deal of time trying to be her

www.kurtgeiger.com/women/shoes/boots/shoe-boot/fluttery-black-leather-36-vince-camuto-shoe.html love these but need under £100 really can't justify more and preferably closer to 50!

Right. I have the white (for blue trousers ) pale pink (sugared almond) and fuschia. I'm a busty 12--14

The small is fine. Loose bit doesn't make you look fat/ shapeless which the m might. Am keeping white small and ordering the pAle pink. Much nicer than t shirts but nicely lightweight.

Boden would charge 30 each for these

Not good at all - am totally fed up of it. :(

Noddy - not at all alike but these look nice.

Like that Ronald but I'm wondering if too old for t shirts for work

Those are lovely!

I tried to take a pic but have these trews on and looked stupid

I am quite busty will try the small though as too big I look podgy Like the pink

They look groovy :) Like the colours

Dp bought me these for Valentines Day 1992! Had all my stuff out and decided to wear them they are still really nice

Wrt the jumpers I have a silk linen mix jumper from this season boden I love. It's in a colour they call soot. Is obv better made but for summer "too cool for a t shirt" days or those days where it starts cool and warms up , this is a great alternative.

Is the small tight?
