I'm going back to work week after next and as I'm too big for my old clothes ( ) I'm going on a big solo shop in Brum tomorrow to get myself kitted out in something other than sick-covered jogging bottoms!

My office dress code is smart/smart or smart/casual. What can I buy? I love those smock/tunic type tops that are about but will they look daft on a small tubby bird? What about shoes, bags, accessories.

What's hot and what's NOT?

ROFL I will refrain from posting...combats and trainees are my uniform hehe.
I primark there are some really nice tunic tops all in retro/funky patterns, they would look good with some nice trews?
Im a short bird, and am pretty chunky but i think they are pretty flattering?!

for the office you can never go wrong with black trousers (black slims u down) heels (they too slim u down) and a blose with a tank top over it-disguises mummy tummy.

I just mix and match tops with my black trousers, and black heels, and other days I wear my little leopard print pumps-so comfy!

new look have nice tops for the office at reasonable prices aswell as Asda and Tesco

How about black trousers and funky tunic tops

Only problem is, I'm stuck in the bootleg era, maybe straight legs would go better fashion-wise? But they're not as flattering? And should I be going for style not fashion now anyway? Hmmmmmm...........

Definitely going to get some heels though. Am so pleased chunky ones are back in! Yay!

its casual in my office but i prefer to dress smart.

when i go shopping for office clothes il be looking for

nice black trousers with dresses over the top, or long shirt dresses over trousers or i just like black trousers with tight black plain t.shirt big brown bag and brown belt

i love fashion

these are the shoes i like. would look nice with black cl,othes and brown bag http://www.asos.com/Leather-Stacked-...37770&cid=1433

but they are £12 in primark every colour

Those are the sort I was looking at in Faith today.

I love heels! I'm going to try and get some like that in ivory for my wedding because they're sturdy enough not to hurt all day.

I've just bought loads of thick funky coloured tights so if I go for longer tunics I might get away with no trousers at all sometimes

I have to be carful because I teach 16-19 yr old lads and although I'm not a fox it's frowned upon to dress sexy!

Dionne

lol i bet they well fancy you

i have a black dress i wear with black shoes and teal tights

Minxy

Only the soft ones. Bless! They are mostly wannabe gangsters and I'm not 'street' enough for them. I have to keep reminding them they live in the Birmingham 'hood not downtown LA

I'm back work Monday and I've also gone up a size since I was there before. But I'm really lucky in that I have a sort-of uniform. I have a black polo shirt with the company logo and department on it, then I've just bought 2 pairs of larger black combats to wear underneath. And they were only £7.50 each in the Tesco sale! I'm easily pleased!!!!

Dionne
