I'd like to get some summer items this year that can transition to work items when we return to Australia next year. Most of my summer clothes are 5+ years old and very casual, because I get to wear them for such a short time of the year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sh-girls-what-were-your-go-to-summer-items#post-339002 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 14:09:02 +0000 glam on the inside 339002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - tough one to answer as I really struggled through my first (very hot) summer back at work after many years off.<br /> I'm a teacher, so I needed to be comfy doing a fair bit of standing, walking and leaning over. I also tend to ... ahem.. "glow" in warm weather, soI wore mostly black tops to avoid visible "glowing" under the arms. Ugh. Luckily I love black tops!<br /> If I were facing the summer again (and money were no object :D) - I'd buy wedge heel peep toe shoes in a nude/neutral colour, some flowy or ruffled sleeveless black blouses and a stretchy pencil skirt in a colour other than black (to go with all those black tops.)<br /> Surprisingly, my workhorse was a black pencil skirt that my mother-in-law bought for a funeral, didn't wear again and handed over to me! I also had a little ruffled black shrug that came in handy to give me a bit of shoulder coverage without making me too hot.<br /> I'd have liked to have had a few more colourful bracelets, brooches and beads to add a bit of variety to my blouse and skirt "uniform" and keep all the black from looking funereal. Especially that funeral skirt!<br /> I hope this is helpful! Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sh-girls-what-were-your-go-to-summer-items#post-338987 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 13:56:17 +0000 Angie 338987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lynne, correct me if I'm wrong. Don't you live in Denmark? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sh-girls-what-were-your-go-to-summer-items#post-338937 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 09:51:46 +0000 Lynne 338937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Southern hemisphere girls, what were your go-to summer work clothing items? If you were coming into the same summer again, what would your basic work-wear shopping list look like? Any trends you'd avoid?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
