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.

Thanks Belinda

Any advice on sizing? I'd wear a 6 in boden hobbs marks, smallest size for br

TroyMcClure · 07/06/2014 12:42

Pas de tout

noddyholder · 07/06/2014 12:49

I really like those Zara jumpers. Cotton (mostly) too!

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 07/06/2014 13:35

Mmm,,I think you must be smaller than me Brillenbar - I take a US4 in blazers at BR, or XS or S in their tops. I tend to take size M in Zara blazers, but I haven't tried these ones on. Last time I tried things on at Zara, I was still M in normal shaped blazers (ie not cocoon oversized ones) and S in shirts.

I guess I'm an s or sx then. Question is which. Will see if I can try and sneak to oxford st one lunch this week. TA.

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 07/06/2014 13:47

As soon as I try them on, I will let you know, too, in case I can get there before you.

It was me that almost ordered the cheapo Zara bag. I hate being dependent on online shopping.

I love the look of those Zara tops. It rarely goes above 15C here Grin two layers at all times!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 07/06/2014 20:19

Just seen this on the M&S site. Has anybody seen anything similar but in plain black, or white, or maybe a monochrome print?

TroyMcClure · 08/06/2014 00:10

Me. I ordered similar. Cut bizarre

www.zara.com/uk/en/woman/shirts/blouses/printed-top-c401028p1976018.html Remus this one is nice with the bits of blue. Some lovely pale pink shell colour stretchy jeans in Zara but can't see on web saw on friend and are lovely

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 08/06/2014 09:30

Those M&S shoes are both great.

God, I hate those nude shoes. They make me want to chop my legs off. K-Mid has a lot to answer for... Bargainous though.

noddyholder · 08/06/2014 13:36

Me too I don't see the point of them Like the other ones

TroyMcClure · 08/06/2014 13:41

nude shoes are the refuge of the unimaginative

noddyholder · 08/06/2014 13:45

They always look odd to me even £ ones. My dermatologist wears them and she is about 90

noddyholder · 08/06/2014 13:47

Friend has very nice top on from All Saints why is it so expensive?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/06/2014 14:46

Thanks, Noddy - I saw that today and it is lovely, but I didn't want the blue bits.

I am v much of the anti-nude shoe brigade.

Saw these today, and thought they were nice - but too wide for me.

noddyholder · 08/06/2014 15:06

I have a version of those from last year in blue and stone colour the most comfortable sandals ever wore to death!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/06/2014 15:07

Very nice!

noddyholder · 08/06/2014 15:09

Just dragged them out so scruffy now! Lovely with skinnies and a tan!

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 08/06/2014 15:39

I love nude shoes. But not round toed and not w a platform and the colour has to be just right. Some can look depressingly Nanna. Still, I find mine so v useful and flattering.

TroyMcClure · 08/06/2014 17:16

oh fuck I think I quite like this for work with slim trews
I am your Nanna?
