This isn't a work dress is it?

Not where I work anyway. I was thinking of wearing it to a wedding with pink shoes. But they've put me off by calling it a work dress!

Shoes are going back. Pink all wrong, if you're going to make them a statement they need to have the style to carry it off.
If anyone wants to help me find a pair of sassy low/mid heels please do!

I think it would be perfect for a wedding. even though I wear a dress similar to that for work I don't like the shoes though.

Doobigetta · 22/07/2015 21:44

Quite a few of my work dresses are on the borderline between work and wedding attire, but they are all plainer than that. It'll look great.

InQuiteAPickle · 22/07/2015 21:47

Ooh, I love that dress! I have the perfect shoes to go with it too. Hmm.

It'll be lovely for a wedding Op.

InQuiteAPickle · 22/07/2015 21:53

Hmm not sure if these are too pink.

TheHumanSatsuma · 22/07/2015 21:55

beautiful dress, deinitely not work wear, perfect for a wedding

InQuiteAPickle · 22/07/2015 21:57

Oops sorry, I didn't RTFT properly and just realised that Hells already linked those shoes! Sorry.

InQuiteAPickle · 22/07/2015 22:03

Are these still too high?

InQuiteAPickle · 22/07/2015 22:18

Freemans

InQuiteAPickle · 22/07/2015 22:19

The Raspberry ones in the Freemans, btw.

Runningupthathill82 · 22/07/2015 22:38

I like the dress. V suitable for a wedding but I do think it's work-ish - people wear v similar in my office.
That said, I have outfits I've worn to formal occasions such as weddings, which I now wear to work.

cerealqueen · 22/07/2015 22:40

It os lovely, shame about the zip 'feature', i know its a thing but I like my zips hidden!

GinBunny · 22/07/2015 23:00

I like the KG ones, thanks Pickle was going to buy them then realised they are sold out in my size bugger
And I am very jealous (sort of) of the people that have said yy to wearing this to work. Most days it's as much as I can do to brush my hair Grin

One place I worked that would have been fine- lots of glamorous 20/30 something ladies having lots of external meetings with rich men...I've just realised how that sounds! It was the major gifts office of a university not an escort service as I may have inadvertantly implied. With a little cashmere cardie and a clutch bag.

SweetAndFullOfGrace · 22/07/2015 23:12

I would wear that to work if I wasn't pear shaped with a jacket. Lovely dress.

I think I'm going to scrap the idea of pink shoes, maybe ivory? Then they would match the bag that I already have. Or a matching blue but haven't seen blue shoes that colour anywhere that I like.

OP posts:
SweetAndFullOfGrace · 23/07/2015 08:53

I think navy d'orsay pumps would work.

GinBunny · 23/07/2015 10:10

These are nice Sweet thanks for the suggestion, but again, not my size. I'm a 4 and these look like they start at 5.
Keep looking!

It's quite similar to the dress that Ruth is wearing on This Morning. I thought it was the same but it isn't. Yours is nicer, Gin but hers looks lovely.

Not that I'm watching This Morning, it's on in the backgroundWink.

ThePocPocHunt · 23/07/2015 10:40

These are similar to the d'orsay pair - but maybe not quite the right colour? Or these?

GinBunny · 23/07/2015 11:42

Ooh Pickle, I'm at work, want to see her dress!

I've just got these from House of Fraser, sensible strappy but not too high.

Thanks for all your suggestions, keep em coming just in case the HoF ones don't fit!!

GinBunny · 23/07/2015 12:31

Ruth considers it work-wear then!
