Work wardrobe revamp

Stheno

I'm recently changed roles from a company where dress code was quite formal to one which is more relaxed, and am discovering the joy of dresses/skirts, as opposed to suits.

I love wrap dresses as you can dress them up with a jacket, add a cardi in winter, and wanted some opinons on some.

Phase 8 at the moment are having a super sale and I've found a few I really like (see links below) Generally, I'll be wearing them with a slip, heels, and a jacket/cardi depending on the occasion

Would you guys feel they are appropriate for working in an office?

Those dresses are just absolutely divine. The polka dot one is my fav. There is no limit as regards what to wear with them. Let your imagination run right. Think accessories, pearls, rings, etc etc. Lots of options too re tights, from the sheerest skintones to satins to glossy black. Unless the fabric of the dresses is very light weight, or inclined to rise or bunch, I don't think I'd go for a slip. Dresses like those ones would be quite at home at ,''Lady's Day'' at Galway races. But I'm one who believes that elegence and glamour knows no limits, so yes, to me they are appropiate for an office envoirnment.

meeeeh

I would wear them in the office. They are long enough and covered but it really depends where you work and also what body type you are. Btw my favourite office style would be Diane from The Good Wife and maybe I am a bit too flamboyant sometimes.

Lovely dresses btw.

Thank you, I tried on a few of them at the weekend, and they looked and more importantly FELT divine, real confidence building dresses, I've a decent enough figure

I tend to always wear a slip as I've big boobs and I use the slip as coverage for that!

I was thinking they will be year round dresses that I can do up/down as I need to The office I currently work in is where most of the women would dress like this

I've no idea who Dianne from the good wife is I'm afraid.

My partner was with me when I tried a few on and thought they looked lovely, but I just wanted to check

Thanks to you both.

Was in LK Bennet at the weekend, and fit in a pair of size six trousers, vanity sizing at it's best.

I'm five eight and nine and a half stone, the style of those dressess really suits my figure to be honest.

In our office, it's important to look smart and well groomed and that's about it. For me personally, I'd like to do just that but with a bit of style.

Oh that character's wardrobe is just an example of very well tailored dresses and skirt suits with strong jewellery. A few very similar to those posted in the link.
