Re work wear, I don't tend to focus specifically on that but often (like today.. and with the dress blog.. and with blazers, and with the jumper blog I have coming up today, the coat blog from the other day) there are hopefully some ideas dotted about. Main problem is that everyone's idea of "workwear" is different! For example, when I have a meeting now, I can wear anything and usually end up trotting along in trainers. But I appreciate in a law office you couldn't do that - yet some offices are more dress down than others... <br /><br />I also personally prefer to have a wardrobe that I (and others!) can wear for both. But I will have some more suggestions - blouses, print tops, loafers, all of which would be great for workwear. Hope that's ok!

At least with jeans when I find a good pair I can just keep on buying them year after year, but...trousers are a nightmare. I'll be trying on some crops for an experiment for sure but have the same problem as others here - at 5ft 4 they might not be quite so 'cropped' on. <br /><br />Anyway, the purpose of this comment is really to tell you that after your dress blog I went and tried Kin at John Lewis - and have bought two of their dresses. They are lovely - have pockets, are flowy, comfy and have decent length sleeves to hide all the wings. Any plans to do any more 'work wear' blogs please? Am seriously out of inspiration here at the moment and might just need to rotate the two new dresses ad infinitum at this rate.Katenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-50846332615612911722016-03-22T00:59:59.722-07:002016-03-22T00:59:59.722-07:00My ankles have been out all winter long and I am t...My ankles have been out all winter long and I am tall too.
