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.

Really lovely top Karl. Gorgeous. Are you buying?

KarlWrenbury · 16/06/2014 12:33

nope,Yella aint for me

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 16/06/2014 13:01

Nice top. Oddly the colour is labelled as lime rather than yellow. Pic doesn't look lime though.

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 16/06/2014 13:08

lurking - Giovanna Battaglia has the most fabulous style. Her model figure doesn't hurt, but she dresses so femininely, but not in an overly girly way. I will look for her monochrome outfit.

Karl - now, I know you aren't exactly a Cos fan, but this sleeveless blue silk top has been reduced to £17. I saw it the other day, and it's a v pretty colour. Also this short sleeved blue silk top has been reduced, but only from £70 to £50, so will hopefully come down further.

Oh dear, that not good at all, Noddy. I have that problem as I put my weight on my stomach, first, then elsewhere, like my arms. My legs are the last recipients.

I just bought a top at & Other Stories that is cotton and sleeveless and flattering. Will link.

Link for the Peacock shoes? They look fantastic. Ditto the clutch.

Found it: www.stories.com/gb/Sale/All_sale/Cotton_top/590757-1121939.1 I bought it in XS and will blog it soon. I think & OTher Stories is fantastic in the sale as they have some already well priced, good quality items that just become a fantastic bargain in the sale. I am really tempted by the raspberry pink bag that I instagrammed. If I could justify it, I would get the monochrome bag, also on Instagram (it feed on to my home page), as I genuinely love it. This blog is a bit bad for me as I am already quite acquisitive.

This is the bag that I also fancy www.stories.com/gb/Sale/All_sale/Small_leather_shoulder_strap/590757-2472486.1

That top is lovely I would look all chest though! Really like the bag

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 16/06/2014 14:23

I will find the going out thread, but I idly tried these on. And loved them. So I bought them. I really didn't think I could walk in them, but I can - the must be shaped to follow the arch? They are going out shoes, so I won't walk far in them anyway (unlike workwear which I think you need to be able to walk a reasonable distance in)

Just looked at my pics, I don't think it would be great on a big bosom. Re the bag, & Other Stories do some of the best high street bags IMO. And they are leather, unlike most of the bags at Mango, Aldo and Dune. Zara is 50/50, but I think all the bags at & Other Stories are leather, and are really well priced.

One more link before I run. Yellow leather belt now £10 www.stories.com/gb/Sale/All_sale/Slender_leather_belt/590757-1420363.1

Now I do like the belt! I am not a huge fan of fluorescent stuff but like that

noddyholder · 16/06/2014 14:31

The shoes are divine would really go with jumpsuit

Merriboo · 16/06/2014 17:40

Love the belt Belinda but £6 delivery?
Ohhh are those shoes really comfy Noddy, they are too cute

noddyholder · 16/06/2014 17:50

They are so comfy the heel is not very high and is really solid and the back bit is very soft

lurkingaround · 16/06/2014 17:50

Agree Belinda, Giovanna is so stylish. scroll down for the monochrome with the enormous belt and lovely shoes. I love &other stories too. Have a few shoes, pairs of obv, love them. What's the £17 Cos top?
Yes this thread can be v costly. Lovely links. Love the Dune scrappy sandals.

lurkingaround · 16/06/2014 17:51

Duh! strappy sandals, not scrappy.

KarlWrenbury · 16/06/2014 17:53

who the fuck is she?

lurkingaround · 16/06/2014 17:54

And yes, Giovanna dresses v femininely but never prissy or too 'tucked in', iykwim.

KarlWrenbury · 16/06/2014 17:54

that is a pretty blue.
you know though, I have 5 weeks left of term, including a week in DLP - do i need more than 25 outfits?

NO
