Basic! Yours look great. Easy to add items and accessories as needed. In fact I'm making a big effort to get "back to basics", as my wardrobe was getting too diffuse and complicated for outfit creation , so I find your outfits refreshing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-new-corporate-life#post-972791 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 22:19:35 +0000 Lyn D. 972791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This all looks great Anne!<br />You will be able to wear your longer hair tied back in the warmer weather too.

I have never worked in a corporate job but to my eye he shoes are fine/ Are they flat or have a small heel? Heel would make them even more appropriate.<br />The sweater, shirt and cardigan look like good basics. <br />I have to second the opinion that I love your new hair and the specs - you look lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-new-corporate-life#post-972465 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 12:12:18 +0000 Suz 972465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to see you, Anne.

I needed them anyway, but they were also for the new job I start in a week. I had some requests for pictures, and here they finally are.</p> <p>Comments welcome<br /> 1. Red coat. Also has a faux fur collar not shown<br /> 2. White funnel neck knit top<br /> 3.White buttondown shirt<br /> 4-6 Black cardi</p> <p>All very basic really!</p> <p>ETA Do you think the shoes in pic 1 are okay for a corporate job? I bought them for my current job. I own some black MJ heels I wore for my interview but I don't think I could last a full day in them. </p>
