the loft use to have great suits because you were able to mix and match sizes, they stopped that for a few years as they were going more causal,

Pants from NY&Co are great. Add a button down tucked in. Simple.

Or just a sweater. Or a top with a cardigan. Go to Marshalls or TJMaxx.

Loft outlet has GREAT tops (sleeveless) that go well under all sorts of cardigans.

I need work wardrobe advice, please! I've had the same job for the past 8 years and am very comfy here. Although I hold a senior position, it's a small corporate office and most days I get away with wearing Frye boots, leggings, sweater - repeat. The new position i've accepted is for the County and I start next week. I feel like it won't be as casual and I literally have nothing except either casual clothes or business suits - nothing in between.

Can you ladies give me some tips on outfits I can put together? Anything I can/should invest in? I'm dreading wearing heels every day, please tell me that I won't have to? Any way to take some of my clothing now and make it work?

Any pics or advice you have would be really great. Thank you!!

I know a few county employees and dressing up for work is not something done as often as private sector.
In all honesty except for the boots you can prob wear what you did at the old job.

If you want a change a comfy dress, on a bloated day it hides everything. Dress pants and some dress tops, nice pair of heels and some pearls



Thank you for the info! That would be really great if I could still wear what I do now. It's not that I dress like a slob by any means but it's often leggings with a sweater or button down top/nice shirt with jeans. I do wear boots almost every day but could swap it out for flats.

I wore a suit to my interview and the lady interviewing me seemed to be a bit fancy so I assumed it would be more business casual.

Hi!! Just checking in to say Thank You to everyone who helped me get ready for my first week. All of the advice you gave me really made a big difference and I was prepared for the week. :)

It's not as "dressy" as I thought it would be. No jeans except for Friday's but any other kind of pants are really ok and tops can range from casual to dressy so I feel much better now.

Thanks Again! xo :)
