This week saw me back on my career path as I started my new job. I've had such a great week and cannot wait until Monday! As a result, the perfect items to build my work wardrobe have been the subject of retail therapy. This little collection would make for a welcome addition;
1. Did I mention that I have a thing for printed pants?! These would add an edge to the usual black pant suit.
2. The essential but stylish work footwear - the pump.
3. A LBD for events or pair with a blazer for meetings.
4. A classic blouse in every shade, although this red one feels very festive.
5. Jumpers (or 'sweater' if I am to use my Canadian vocab. education) are a versatile, necessity!
I always think of a pump as a shoe with a heel, what you might call a court shoe, but apparently it's a term that can also be applied to what you're showing -- a ballet flat. Interesting. I still think of it as a court shoe, and that's what I wear to the office (for those rare visits -- my office is about 2,000 miles away).
ReplyDeleteYes, if you say "jumper" here, people will think you mean a sleeveless dress that goes over a T-shirt. :)
We had an interesting discussion about different meanings of words in my office...the English language is a funny thing!
DeleteLove the pants and those shoes are so perfect. I need a pair like this for work.

Aren't they?! They'd be great for work and dressed down for an evening out!
DeleteI definitely want an animal jumper. This one from Cath Kidston is the cutest...
