need some help with workwear... :(

Michelle, have you ever thought about having your colours done?

I had mine done a couple of years ago and it's been like a new lease of life. You get given a swatch of all your colours, which you take with you whenever you shop, and you will never go wrong again with colour coordination.

I also picked up loads of style tips at my colour session, and since then I always get compliments on how I look.

It might be worth getting it done, or at least researching it and trying to work out for yourself which 'season' you are. Once you know, you won't look back.

Also, I have the Trinny and Susanne 'What your clothes say about you' book, and it's a fantastic guide for both colour, style and make up tips.

If some people are allowed to wear certain outfits yet you get told its not appropriate for you to wear the same, I would take it up with HR. If you have asked several times what is appropriate and they are unable to give you a definitive explanation then I don't really think thats good enough....

You are trying to be proactive by thinking through your appearance, if they are unable to provide you with any guidelines yet still pull you up on it it seems a little unfair to me.

How about asking one of the girls in your office to go shopping with you, or come over to your house and help you pick some outfits out?

I've got a next gift card so as soon as it's ok weather I'll take a wander over

I got a couple of thin jumpers today, one was beige, one was red, got a white shirt with wide purple pinstripes on, and dark red ankle boots... got from New Look and those 4 things cost me £18 so hopefully...

I'll have a try of them later or tomorrow and if they look a bit weird I'll take them back and swap them for something else

When I go to next i think I'll have a look for one of those skirts, the knee length ones that are straight down looking... pencil?
