I wasn't surprised by the no jeans rule though as in my previous job in this industry jeans weren't allowed even on casual Fridays. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mini-wardrobe-crisis#post-980801 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:49:18 +0000 Anonymous 980801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to hear it Anne! Will you have to buy many things since jeans are not allowed? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mini-wardrobe-crisis#post-980760 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 14:43:37 +0000 Inge 980760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for reporting back, Anne, I've been thinking of you! I'm glad to hear the first day went well. It always takes a little while to get the feel of a new place, but I'm sure you'll settle in quickly. Keep us posted on what the ladies in the office are wearing, and on your own fab office outfits, of course:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mini-wardrobe-crisis#post-980759 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 14:43:05 +0000 Carole 980759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phew, sounds like disaster was averted and you sailed through your first day just fine. I would have been a wreck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mini-wardrobe-crisis#post-980753 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 14:40:13 +0000 anne 980753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. I really appreciate your kindness. Just reporting back that<br /> the first day went fine, did include a HR session, Thistle! and that I am not nearly as tired as I expected to be.<br /> They told me the dress code was smart casual with no jeans.Which means the guys don't wear ties. I haven't seen enough women to get s feeling for the vibe there yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mini-wardrobe-crisis#post-980253 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 21:11:19 +0000 Isabel 980253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that finding out initially that one has left something behind automatically puts one in a tailspin. &nbsp; The good thing is that you have a plan !</p> <p>Good luck tomorrow !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mini-wardrobe-crisis#post-980220 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 20:20:33 +0000 kkards 980220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mini-wardrobe-crisis#post-980182 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 19:50:05 +0000 Debra 980182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is just the type of thing that would happen to me :)<br /> Lucky your mum is the same size. It might be fun for her seeing her clothes styled in different ways......you can give some tips on putting together new combinations :)<br /> Have a great first day </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mini-wardrobe-crisis#post-980177 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 19:46:46 +0000 Becky 980177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope your first day is going well!

First days are a bit bumpy anyhow and you've just got to learn the ropes. You'll settle in there in no time.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm so glad Mum rescued you with some clothes and that your own clothes are on the way. I'll be praying for you! &lt;&lt;&lt;hugs&gt;&gt;&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mini-wardrobe-crisis#post-979950 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 15:13:26 +0000 Thistle 979950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Best wishes for your first day!</p> <p>I know it is a bit off to not have with you what you planned to wear.

You are right. They aren't with me partly to let me to get through the exhausting first week of full time work.

Clearly been doing too much overindulgence while packing/at good bye functions/on long weekend away.Oh well. That season is over.<br /> Thanks for being here ylf. Am a bit nervous about tomorrow and sad about being away from Dh and the DDs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mini-wardrobe-crisis#post-979865 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 12:53:17 +0000 Inge 979865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that's definitely manageable, and I like bus rides because they are the&nbsp;perfect way to catch up on some reading.</p> <p>The first day outfit with the boots and midi sounds great. And you can wear your suit on the second day;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mini-wardrobe-crisis#post-979861 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 12:49:03 +0000 anne 979861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have found a bengaline layered midi and some sweaters. I have my boots. Not quite the suit I had planned but hopefully acceptable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mini-wardrobe-crisis#post-979859 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 12:47:21 +0000 anne 979859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>About 30 mins Inge.

I just had to log in to wish you GOOD LUCK on your first day tomorrow!! I bet your heart stopped for a beat when you discovered that a large part of your clothes had been left behind. Definitely adds to the stress-(( So happy to read that it's already been sorted though&nbsp;(yay for a Mum with the same size!). Let us know what you will be wearing and how your first day goes?</p> <p>*chuckle* about the password. Silver lining indeed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mini-wardrobe-crisis#post-979840 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 12:18:49 +0000 anne 979840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And after days of having to log in to YLF on my phone and it not remembering me, it appears I have managed to learn my whole YLF password off by heart. Minor silver lining! </p>
