They are well put together and while different, each looks great on you. The houndstooth skirt is amazing! How fun to be living and working in London! Not everyone gets to see such excitement at the local coffee shop.

Thank you Jussie, I like that I look cute, and also thank you Nancy fashion confidence is a good thing to project. And youthful and polished is good too, thank you notsaf and Karen13. Thank you Bijou, it felt good to be wearing lighter colours with the apricot and the white in the houndstooth. Adriana, thank you. Thank you Cardiff Girl! Thank you Windchime, I was beginning to feel the scarf was an orphan, so I am pleased I have found a way of wearing it. Janet, thank you, it feels quite classic and almost neutral; I may try and combine with a patterned blouse.  Thank you TorontoGirl.  Smittie, I think it is mine too. The high low skirt is a gorgeous cut, doesn't crease, so very good! Thank you Angie, fab to have a killer comment! Thank you Gretchen, Mirjana and Kathie, lengthening is always appreciated at 5 ft 1! Opaline, ohh yes, a coat with o/s houndstooth sounds like a good thing to hunt for. On the horses, they are so gorgeous! I bet they have quite sophisticated tastes!  Jaime on "WIW work" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-5#post-1991604 Sun, 13 Jan 2019 04:43:07 +0000 Jaime 1991604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look lovely in every single outfit. I would have thought the horses from the King's Troop would drink tea !

I also like your phone cover. Houndstooth is a favorite here, too. I want a coat with an oversized houndstooth pattern.

You look wonderful in all of these outfits; professional and approachable. Favorites are 1 & 8, the white in the houndstooth and the softness of the scarf project fashion confidence.

Also the high-low skirt. Love the fit and silhouette of both of these and think the boots are just fab with them. catherine on "WIW work" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-5#post-1991452 Sat, 12 Jan 2019 15:53:24 +0000 catherine 1991452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So chic. notsaf on "WIW work" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-5#post-1991426 Sat, 12 Jan 2019 14:16:28 +0000 notsaf 1991426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great houndstooth skirt!

Janet on "WIW work" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-5#post-1991414 Sat, 12 Jan 2019 13:14:50 +0000 Janet 1991414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I share your love for houndstooth, even though I currently own none! It’s hard to find casual pieces in it — I wore it a lot more when I required professional attire. That skirt is great on you. You look wonderful in all these outfits. London is such fun! I’m glad you’re enjoying your work environment. Windchime on "WIW work" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-5#post-1991397 Sat, 12 Jan 2019 12:31:23 +0000 Windchime 1991397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I enjoyed seeing your outfit pics. Your silk scarf looks wonderful on you! Love the horses/coffee break pic! Cardiff girl on "WIW work" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-5#post-1991392 Sat, 12 Jan 2019 12:17:44 +0000 Cardiff girl 1991392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I didn’t know that horses drank coffee!I love your new work wardrobe ,it looks very Macqueen -esque. Adriana on "WIW work" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-5#post-1991365 Sat, 12 Jan 2019 08:45:46 +0000 Adriana 1991365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Drinking coffee on a horse, then you are a serious coffee addict. Jane I like your style. Looks wonderful. The houndstooth skirt is a different shape but the jacket gives it balance. And it is lighter then your other skirts, to change things a bit. And just when you have such a good workcollection some things are getting worn out. Ha ha. Bijou on "WIW work" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-5#post-1991344 Sat, 12 Jan 2019 06:25:39 +0000 Bijou 1991344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are all great and nice to see a variation in style that your different skirts and dresses provide. I like the houndstooth skirt and don't think you look wide in it at all, that is simply the shape and structure of the skirt. The scarf and apricot top are gorgeous together and this is my favourite outfit - but it is a very close race as they are all fab. The photo of the horses - that is simply amazing. London is a magical city. jussie on "WIW work" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-5#post-1991335 Sat, 12 Jan 2019 06:16:27 +0000 jussie 1991335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look so darn cute in outfit 1! I really like all of them though. Jane on "WIW work" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-5#post-1991332 Sat, 12 Jan 2019 06:06:21 +0000 Jane 1991332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Phew! I have managed 7 days of outfits to work that I am largely very happy with. I posted last week about 3, and these are the next 4. All outfits are on a similar theme, all easy for me to put together. I do very much like the houndstooth check skirt, 1, 2 & 3, it is a bit wide on my lower half, and I need to remember I like fluid fabrics a lot.  On 6 & 7, thanks to Inge's help, I managed to find a skirt in the similar style of a favourite dress, from Hugo Boss, navy pin stripe. The fabric looks very good, doesn't crease, and moves well. Whilst it has different detailing to the dress, it is a slight duplicate. The navy jacket was thrifted, has been worn a lot and is nearing the end! Same with the green lace top in 4 & 5. Thank you to Janet too for encouraging me to wear the silk scarf 9 & 10 with a lighter colour top. I wore this scarf for a very formal meeting, and was very comfortable.  Lastly, on Tuesday as I was walking to work, I saw a few horses from the King's Troop stopping for a coffee. I love working in London! Having got through at least 7 days of good formal outfits, I am now going to see what I can do to widen my uniform but still be comfortable. Thank you so much for looking. All comments welcome.
