Ok I am joining into the thread....

I am wearing a black turtle neck jumper with nice red and gray patterns on the front and some black office wide leg trousers with stiletto ankle boots.

The challenge for me getting dressed for the office is to find tops/shirts that actually do fit me and my boobs. I ahve found that Bravissimo clothes are not worth the prcie tag in terms of quality (and are not as flattering as they think they are). Instead i go to TM Lewin for classic chirts where they do have 3 for £75 or 2 for £40 offers on. I would not mind finding nice flattering blouses with LONG sleeves: what is the stupidity of the office fashion nowadays where short sleeves are all over the shops in the dead of winter? It is COLD! Even in the office.

Hello!

Oh, it's sooooo cold. Too cold for snow, I'm hoping. Nothing's going to stand in the way of me getting on a plane on friday.

Just braved town to do my Xmas shopping, all done and wrapped and ready to give out to friends this week. Maybe now I can concentrate on packing for my trip.

Today:
Handmade mini dress made from a vintage curtain (Jumble sale)
Two pairs of opaque tights
Tods' turquoise python knee boots (Boot sale)
Vintage grey sheepskin coat (Banardos)
Black elbow length evening gloves (Inherited)
Black hat with faux fur trim (Jumble sale)
Loads of silver jewellery (India)

Have a happy monday!

I totally agree with you about Bravissimo clothes, actually I find they give me a really frumpy looking, matronly outline instead of enhancing my assets as I would wish! I've pretty well given up on wearing shirts/blouses as it's so hard to get the fit right with boobs.

I have a shirt in a really bold black and white geometric print that I really love and feel amazing in as it is fitted, but need to lose half a stone to get the buttons to fasten without gaping at the top.....anyway it's still sits in my wardrobe, because every now and again in the year I do get back there!!
