I&nbsp;had a similar experience when switching schools this past year. As I was one of the dressiest teachers at my previous school, I took some opportunities to scope out my new work environment and dress the "norm" for the first couple of months. Fortunately, the staff overall is a bit dressier at my new school- works for me!</p> <p>As far as the shoes go, I LOVE the gray and black! The nontraditional color is unexpected, but still oh so classy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changes-acoming#post-1122901 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 16:36:49 +0000 merwoman 1122901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations Shannon!!- - I must have missed your news.<br />Totally agree about the grey working best with you and your fab wardrobe, and can't wait to see your new purchases in action! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changes-acoming#post-1122900 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 16:26:24 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1122900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava - I didn't know you were changing jobs too. Congratulations! Looks like January 6th is a big day of us both.</p> <p>Carla, Rachy and Tanya - I think you're all correct in that the grey will work better with my own coloring and those of my clothing. So grey it is - off to press that "buy" button one more time.</p> <p>Thanks ladies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changes-acoming#post-1122899 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 16:23:46 +0000 Tanya 1122899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck with the new job!&nbsp; While I personally prefer the grey pumps, I think the real question is which colors with go better with yuor wardrobr, that is are your clothes colors more warm or more cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changes-acoming#post-1122898 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 16:20:36 +0000 rachylou 1122898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel the grey is dressier, if that helps... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changes-acoming#post-1122896 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 16:15:37 +0000 Jenava 1122896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, today is my last day as well, and my new job also starts on the 6th! &nbsp;However, unlike you, my new office will likely be less dressy (as a co-worker at my current office noted, ladies here often appear dressed as if for cocktails; not hard to be less dressy than that!)</p> <p>The pumps look perfect for office. &nbsp;I have no preference on color. &nbsp;I say go with whichever color wave will work best with your wardrobe.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changes-acoming#post-1122895 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 16:13:06 +0000 Carla 1122895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not going to be much help, Shannon. I like the traditional golden toned one best, but I'm thinking the non-trad one with the grey ground might be a better bookend for your colouring.</p> <p>Congratulations on the new job. Wow! Won't 2014 be grand! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changes-acoming#post-1122892 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 16:04:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1122892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Holidays everyone I hope everyone who celebrates has had time with their loved ones and friends and enjoyed all the season has to offer. </p> <p>I've been off the forum for two weeks preparing to leave my current position (today is my last day!), have a week of vacation and then start my new position January 6th. I've done a bit of sleuthing regarding the dress code and "the norm" for my new office-to-be and believe it's similar to how I dress now with a few exceptions.</p> <p>In my current position, I have more often than not, been more dressy than my office requires. Although jeans are only allowed on Fridays, colored skinnies and sweaters are the staple of most of the ladies in the office, except for the higher up positions of course. My dresses/skirts with blazers are definitely on the dressier end.</p> <p>The new position I'm going to will fit my dressier&nbsp;style well. At the beginning, I will play it more conservative until I get a true "lay of the land". So in relation to that, I took advantage of The Bay Boxing Day sales yesterday (online only) and ordered a a few things to try - a Nygard black blazer &amp; pencil skirt suit, an ivory &amp; black&nbsp;Dorothy Perkins petite&nbsp;dalmation print wrap blouse, and a pair of Nygard&nbsp;navy with&nbsp;black tuxedo stripe trousers. I'm excited to try the suit as I can wear it as a suit in a fairly conservative ensemble for Board meeting days but can also break it up to wear with funkier pieces for days with no meetings.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have also fallen in love with a pair of Cole Haan lo flared heel animal print pumps that are currently on deep sale at The Bay. I like the lower heel height and the stability of a chunkier heel and the non pointy toe. I have found that the pointy toes on my black pumps are not great for my baby bunion. I like the wider toe box of these Cole Haan pumps. What do you think of these shoes? They come in both traditional brown/black animal print or in grey/black - which do you prefer?</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.thebay.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/thebay/chelsea-lo-flared-heel">http://www.thebay.com/webapp/w.....lared-heel</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.thebay.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/thebay/chelsea-lo-flared-heel-0075-d40579-gry--24">http://www.thebay.com/webapp/w.....79-gry--24</a> </p>
