From that day on I was aware of what is appropriate for the workplace and what should be left in the nightclub. Reading some of the fashion magazines it is no wonder there are people out there getting it all wrong - I would love to know other in the fashion industry or some cool creative office, where off the shoulder tops, dangerously short minis and towering shoes that would normal grace a pole are acceptable in the workplace. Jeans should only be worn on casual Friday, and even then they should not have any holes or excessive fading.
My general rule is to keep it conservative until you know what is acceptable in your work place. And here is what I would wear.
Skirts to the knee.
Tailored trousers.
Structured dresses.
Blouses or knit tops (not tshirts)
Jackets or cardigans
Classic shoes - ballet flats are fine if you can't wear heals.
These two outfit are from Banana Republic (one of my favourite stores). The first is a great more corporate look and the second for a office where a suit is not required. You can insert your personality to a more conservative outfit by using colour as seen in the first picture or subtly using interesting accessories.
My advice is it is better to be overdressed than underdressed.
