    Hey girls need some quick advice, I've secured a placement for college it's for a month with the possibility of it continuing for the summer, The problem is I have nothing suitable, Does anyone have any advice where to get office/business wear for a nineteen year old? Impressions are important, there is also a couple of dinner party meetings in hotels will need cocktail dresses. Any thoughts apart from the usual? Need to be able to get the stuff within a week as I start Monday!
    (Mods feel free to move if you feel it warrants it's own thread) Thanks

    Zara definitely! And COS, which I think is in BT. These are my favourite shops for this sort of thing. There's some decent officey type dresses and blouses in H&M at the moment too. Topshop i'm sure are still stocking tapered trousers and the like as well.

    Thanks fillefatale! I will take a look at Zara immediately. Hadn't thought of there at all.

    Zara are great for that sort of thing. I love their shirts

    Also try A-wear, they can have some nice cheap enough blouses

    If you can afford it, go to Warehouse. Their dresses have excellent tailoring and they tend not to follow silly trends and thus are more classic, and far more wearable imo.

    Just had a look at Warehouse and Zara seems to be exactly what I need, Thanks for the replies, I'm clueless with this type of shopping! :)

    New thread!

    +1 for Cos, it's upstairs in BT2. Last time I was in they had some gorgeous white shirts. A white shirt is must for any work wardrobe, but these had some flair, more fashion.

    That place sounds great, Unfortunately I'm nowhere near BT2, I'm thinking of ordering a few things and sending back whatever isn't suitable. Any other staples apart from the white shirt?

    Thanks for moving the thread Twee!

    A good pair of wide legged black trousers is a good one to have. I like these and these form Asos.

    They could look very chic with a cool white shirt, but it depends on the company how out there you can go! Adore this with a pencil skirt or the wide trousers.

    Work dresses are also a great alternative to skirts and trousers.

    Oh that's amazing Twee, Looks very appropriate yet still young. I think I'll get that shirt!
    Thank you!

    EDIT Chose some items I think will see me through as staples, Thanks again literally had no time to deciede!
