New Job - New Wardrobe - Ideas?

lilminx

Hey girlies

Fantastic news for me today - I got a job after 2 years being with a long term illness. Can't believe my luck as it's a step up from my last job and exactly what I want to be doing - but I've no decent work clothes and I'm hoping to get something decent without spending a fortune. I'll need a whole new work wardrobe!

I'm a big girl - size 20-22 and just looking for ideas around a capsule wardrobe - don't have to be too formal, but need to look professional. I know the basics - black suit, shirts, lots of mix and match tops/trousers but I'm hoping that my fellow boardsies will give me some ideas around it.

All help appreciated

First of all congratulations on getting your new job It's important to invest
in key pieces that you can mix and match. Have you looked at next, I think
all these outfits here are fantastic for office wear yet stylish.

Camel is a big colour this season so would be a good investment piece. Perhaps a nice coat or heels. Great selection at debenhams.

A pencil skirt is an excellent investment which looks great with a belt and a
fitted shirt, If you like something more colourful, they come in a range of
designs/colours http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_037010360294_-1?breadcrumb=Home%7EWomen%7ESkirts%7Etxtpencil+skirt
You can change your outfits with various accessories/scarves/bags.

Hey Lilminx, congrats on the new job!:)

You should have a look at www.simplybe.ie, it's an Irish website and it's specifically for larger sizes so there is a great selection of clothes and should give a few options to mix and match for work.

Enjoy the shopping!
