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.

Ooh I like the chiffon spot. (I Do Not Need Any More Clothes. )

After the commuter shoe discussions today I have been looking at women's footwear around London. It seems to be mostly ballet pumps often apparently held on with difficulty/clenched toes, or Birkis, which look very difficult to walk in if they only have one slim strap. That may be due to lack of any heel as Stokey said upthread.

My main requirement for commuting shoes is that I can run across the station to catch the train without teetering.

i walk MILES in havaianas

all of DLP and a good few miles around here. Although lunnon no.

would do bouncy sports type ballets www.clarks.co.uk/p/20353277 if I had to

I bought a 12, Troy. Am a 10 in M&S jeans, if that's any use?

right , thinking they might be skimpy i got a 12 and 14

Hope they will be long enough for you - they are pretty much full length, rather than cropped, on me.

And if you hate them, don't tell me - they are a bit of a departure for me and I felt good in them today, so I don't want my bubble bursting!

7/8 on me maybe? Boss at work wore the most AWFUL trousers the other day, think she thought they were dropped, were like 80s pedal pushers - cropped trs have def got longer

cropped

Yuck to pedal pushers. I don't like cropped but do like 7/8ths.

Remus - white cotton top - this any good?

Thanks but no - button down and severe and white = recipe for disaster on me.

I like this but might be a bit high

That's lovely, I have one very like that from monsoon last years though...

Remus, have you seen the Oasis version of that Whistles one?

Re commuter shoes: slippers give better foot coverage than ballets, so no toe clenching required. My Sam Edelman Adena spiky slippers are comfort itself. Ditto my Russell & Bromley leopard slippers. Birkies are not for me, though. Neither those Clark's shoes. Although Havaianas? I'm Australian, so my love for such shoes runs deep.

I posted it down thread, I think.

oh i dont LIKE the clarks shoes, this is why i drive a car

I was thinking of sending you the smelling salts ;)

I think I'd just go fugly trainers. Working girl style

Fugly trainers are all day wear now Troy as well you know

I have just bought this for a bit of crisp shirt action

Saw it AT A SUPERMARKET I adore and if I hate end of season meh

Your supermarket skirt is very nice Ronald. It looks like it cost quite a bit more than it did. Definite candidate for a crisp shirt.

Ooh it's just like my new look pollen skirt I've got on today.

What do they feel like on? I had a swimsuit like that in teh 80s and was boiling!

How's the new Look pollen skirt, Troy? Outfit sounds v nice.
