They are a bit plain it has to be said! I have two pairs of work shoes basically, they are pretty much sitting shoes. I can walk abit in them outside, may be 1,000 footsteps on a pavement but no more! Being a surveyor I go out of the office a lot, generally with taller people who have long legs, who walk quicker!! I keep my sitting shoes under my desk, and change in and out of them. I do find it slightly embarrassing to change my shoes in front of my colleagues (3 really nice younger guys) but I am usually in a rush, so accept that at least I can change quickly. </p> <p>So, I've looked at some other shoes but to keep less pairs under my desk is important. Carrying the shoes to and from the office is too much for me I think. I carry a lot of stuff as I study on the train. I don't know, may be I will give it more thought. </p> <p>Wow! That's a lovely shoe collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-wed-to-fri#post-1820584 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 11:10:55 +0000 Jenni NZ 1820584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jane I haven't commented before but have really enjoyed all your recent posts, loving your culottes outfits and your white tops/black bottoms ones. All look elegant and this week I do love the navy dress too. And the shoes with tiny sparkles!<br /> I do slightly wonder about the black pumps. I see from your profile you are a Chartered Surveyor. The pumps look a bit more secretarial or lawyerly to me, and maybe not quite as much in fashion? ( I know they have never gone out of fashion as such). I wondered if you might want to consider shoes that are a little more edgy in detail while still fitting with a feminine style?<br /> This is just a thought and I'm no stylist but until recently I had 52 pairs of shoes. Recently down to 49 with some culling </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-wed-to-fri#post-1820570 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 09:59:02 +0000 lyn67 1820570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quite professional as always but with a hint of edge(to me) by the smashing culotte outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-wed-to-fri#post-1820506 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 00:18:13 +0000 rachylou 1820506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-wed-to-fri#post-1820477 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 21:37:10 +0000 Anonymous 1820477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can never pick a favorite when you post - all your outfits are so perfect.<br />Those oxfords with sparkles are FAB!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-wed-to-fri#post-1820468 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 21:19:20 +0000 Anonymous 1820468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jane, your posts are such a treat. I like it all but favorites are 10-11 and 12. I also like texture over print, especially in a low contrast or single color outfit. Some small prints can function as a texture, like snake patterns or small geometrics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-wed-to-fri#post-1820432 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 18:18:49 +0000 Jane 1820432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you lovely ladies. Apologies for not having responded sooner. Skylurker, the dress is so comfortable and I generally feel very good in it. I think the jacket in 11 is not so good. I suspect it may not be in my wardrobe too much longer.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am definitely missing pattern in my work wardrobe JAileen. I prefer texture and detailing, to pattern at work. I also tend to go for flowery prints, rather than graphics.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you Angie for saying that the scarf is good against my skin tone - good to know. I am pleased you like the narrower leg culottes - I do too.</p> <p>Thank you for looking and posting comments. I so appreciate it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-wed-to-fri#post-1820162 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 13:58:24 +0000 Tanya 1820162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a wonderful set of work outfits - I really like both the shoes and scarf.&nbsp; Also, I quite like #11 - that jacket is fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-wed-to-fri#post-1820148 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 12:33:24 +0000 bella 1820148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your business formal outfits.

Polished, professional and pulled together.&nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE #10 and #11. Modern, trendy and elegant. Scarf in #6 is fab with your skin tone. Poncho looks fun too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-wed-to-fri#post-1819945 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 20:38:01 +0000 Dianna 1819945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfits.

I really like when you add the white/pattern accents via the blouse and scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-wed-to-fri#post-1819940 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 20:17:48 +0000 JAileen 1819940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits are very pretty on you. The scarf looks very nice, adding some pattern to your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-wed-to-fri#post-1819928 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 19:39:48 +0000 skylurker 1819928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for indulging us, it's a treat to see your elegant work outfits, it's really inspiring. I can't rock a skirt or dress like you do, but it encourages me to try for more polish and formality at work.</p> <p>You even look elegant in a poncho!<br /> You own beautiful jewellery and you really know how to style it.</p> <p>I think the jacket #11 is too masculine for your style, maybe that's why you didn't feel good in it. It fits, but I don't think it suits you.</p> <p>Another smashing black and white look #1, the v-neck of your blouse is so chic.</p> <p>#12 is my favourite : you look absolutely adorable. I love, love this outfit on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-wed-to-fri#post-1819900 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 17:43:40 +0000 Jane 1819900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear Fabbers, thank you for your encouragement earlier this week. Here are outfits for the latter part of this week. The outfits comprise flowing black culottes with a white shirt on Wednesday; navy dress bought in Scotland on holiday last year and navy jacket on Thursday; and then, longer culottes Friday, navy shirt and jacket. </p> <p>Wed and Thu I am happy with, today's not so happy with. The jacket isn't quite right, but I like my necklace! The navy dress with the integral necklace has been a good buy. It goes in the washing machine, doesn't crease, is comfortable. </p> <p>The lace ups are Paul Green (thank you Janet for the recommendation some time back), so super comfy, and they have small sparkles. I can walk all day in them, which is great as I can end up walking a lot for work. &nbsp;And I like to walk to and from the train station. Coming into work I sometimes wear a scarf (Thursday) or a poncho.&nbsp;</p> <p>It has been so helpful posting outfits and receiving feedback; I hadn't quite appreciated how worthwhile it is. Thank you for looking and all comments most welcome. </p>
