Fall workwear with classics.

After so long felt like taking some pictures of myself. Gained weight and looking ok. So felt like taking pics of my first fall outfit for work.
White ruffled dressy blouse, blue cardi with wide black belt, grey trousers (part of uniform) and black chunky heeled oxford pumps (not seen).
Sorry for those pictures, took them myself as my brother was very lazy to take them for me this morning.
I look a little fat with tyres around my waist. Honest suggestions please. Thankyou in advance.

I love this outfit - it definitely channels the romantic trend in a modern way. Chic! I see no tires, I think you have a lovely figure. So good to see you posting! I hope you are feeling better.

A striking shirt! May I ask what sort of uniform it is?

The shirt looks pretty Victorian. To me this comes across as a high-fashion look. Nice!

I love ruffles and I think this is a fab outfit. And I don't know what you do but it looks like you are able to be a bit creative with your uniform.

Yes we have navvy blue trousers/suit and white striped shirt for Sunday, Monday and Tuesdays and grey trousers/suit and light blue striped shirt for Wednesdays and Thursadays. I wear those uniform religiously for summer only since shirts are most noticed in summer (suit jackets are not feasible to be worn during summer here).

But during winter shirts are less visible and I wear only the pants from the uniform. I wear whatever blouse or shirt I want to wear in fall/winter since they would however be drowned inside by coats/sweaters.

Yes Deborah, I can be creative with my uniform only in fall...sigh...

Thankyou Asingh..lovely words from lovely lady.

Lyn D...the shirt is not a part of uniform. I was just being creative with my fall workwear.heheh...

Yes Nadya...I am feeling a lot better..you can see the paleness gone in my face. And thankyou you are the only person who said I don't have tires. hehehe....thankyou so much....you boosted my confidence since these tires always tend to drag my confidence level to the minimum.

Fashionista, I love this look on you. Very romantic, Victorian yet avant-garde with the prominent ruffles and modern belt. And your figure looks fantastic, what tires are you talking about??? You look like you're about to walk the runway! I'm impressed that this is your "work uniform"!

Love this blouse and its collar! It's a look that suits your long beautiful hair. You have no tires, and no tyres either. But I wonder if your belt isn't too tight, because of the cardi's pockets. However its buckle is perfect with the collar.

Thankyou all ladies for your beautiful comments.
By Fat I mean I was about 38 Kgs last time due to stress, and all those medications. I was like a walking skeletal. But now I have gained some weight in a good way and I am glad about it. The only problem is that my waist grows along with my weight.
Yes krishnidoux maybe the knit and the cardi's pocket makes it look more visible.

Thankyou all ladies for remembering me and loving my outfit after such a long gap. I think now I am again back in action...lol.....

Fashionista, I am in process of gaining weight for health reasons too, and let me tell you that your impression is totally normal. I don't know exactly what happens, but it seems to first pile on in weird places, then redistribute itself nicely. It's as if the body, traumatised by the weight loss, is panicking in the beginning and will hang on to anything, retaining water in the most bizarre places - the places we don't want - but it's temporary. Once it "knows" that food will be constant, it relaxes and fat redistributes. I have just gone through 2 months of feeling very jumbo but now it evens out nicely, and my shape is better than before (not to mention my energy level!).

Do you have access to a swimming pool? I've noticed the massage from the water when exercising in it is very soothing. It helps.

You look very chic! I love your outfit, the blouse and belt is beautiful on a slender frame like yours. No tires as far as I can tell:)

You have a lovely figure, and that's one FAB outfit. I love the ruffles!

I love your outfit. I wonder if a skinny belt might change the look some as I feel that the blouse deserves all the focus and the thicker belt competes with it. I am only speaking of the belt not your figure, which I think is fabulous!
