Have the Workwear Chatty threads stopped?

[MrsBertMacklin]

Just clearing down my Watched Threads and realised that I've not seen one in Active Convos for ages, can't find one on the first 5 pages in topic.

Have they stopped? Summer is coming!

I had a white tee like that from M&S last year and it served me well. Have bought this www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Womens-Tops-T-shirts/Sleeveless-Tops/WA559/Womens-Shell-Top.html?NavGroupID=18 in the Ivory and the green - v handy for work.

Also, these arrived yesterday & are better than I thought. Although i will not be styling mine with a crop top!! Have purchased a long length slightly fitted boat neck tee from Zara that looks nice with these and will add a plain silver necklace and some silver or black pumps.

its petite though, innit

shell top too revealing for work

I have a couple of very ugly no wire marks bras that I love for comfort and make me look a lot smaller Just cross over very plain 2 in a pack for about a tenner.I hate underwire every single day!

Link please, Nod! :)

Have The White Company got anything in the not quite a white t-shirt line? It's the sort of thing they are usually pretty good at, but you'll probably need to size down a lot.

www.marksandspencer.com/2-pack-non-wired-crossover-a-e-bras/p/p21078931 take a bit of getting used to but when I wear these people always ask if I've lost weight!

Cheers, Noddy. I used to wear those years ago - will give them a try again.

Remus - Meant to say minimising rather than flattening. The name is part of my retirement fantasy. It is also from Thelma and Louise - just sort of stuck with me.

Everyone seen M&S 20% off today?

Thanks, Margaritas.

I have never seen, 'Thelma and Louise.' Should I?

In other news, I wore my White Company grey cigarette trousers to work with heels, a silk shirt and a jacket and got wolf whistled at by one of the (female) secretaries. I think that might mean that they are a success! :)

Duty bound to update. Returned this zara broiderie top as mentioned up thread, said it was miles too small in M (usually 10-12). Turns out it was mid-sized, was really an xs. Tried in the S today. It fit well and v pretty. In case anyone was buying - check the size on the inside label.

Tried on the zara trees you linked Eliz. Nice. And belt is actually not bad irl.

Ffs. Trews, not trees

Have the black ones on today. With leopard.

Ooh, they're nice! Me likey, where from?

Ooh very nice Eliz! Great with the leopard shoes. Fab.

Do you manage a full day in those shoes?

Also pretty toes. Quelle couleur? Must do tonight, what with the good weather 'n' all.

Shoes marks sale. Years ago. Had a strap i cut off. Yup whole day but not as comfy as others.

Trews Zara last year. Will link.
Toes Barry M gelly range in ... looks passion fruit. I go to. Vietnamese place. They shave the hard skin off.

I got last year but this year they have white!

Wear with black t and this jacket I got last year. Which I find hard to match tbh.

What have Zara got with midriffs atm?!

I have v similar jacket in black. V nice on, lovely but I have had em, not much wear out of it. Hard to make an outfit with it. Can't fidure out why.

Trews are great.

What's the fit like on the Zara trews? Are they for the long legged, like all their trousers? I

'm after a pair of slim ankle grazers like that, ones I tried on in Next were awful.

They are def 7/8 rather than cropped. Slim on thigh, not too high waisted

Someone linked to this Zara skirt up thread. Tried it on today, it's a good skirt on my pear shape, just above knee. They had it displayed with the top in the picture. They are completely different navys. Looked a bit odd. Skirt on the maybe list.

Also tried this top in navy and in the white. Liked it. Size S was teenchy on my arms. On my maybe list. Polyester, so won't be popular here.

And this poly top, thought it'd be handy. Also nice. i could barely get my hand thru the arm opening in size S. I must have mahoosive hands and have been blissfully ignorant of this fact all my life. Guffaw. Daft Zara sizes. Tried on a few other things too. Was looking for a pale jacket. Didn't find one.

Love all three
