I've got those black 'hairy' shoes too and I love them.

I could really do with some advice for my work wardrobe. I need to be smart-ish for work - I'm a PA - not suits but smart separates or dresses.

I recently had a wardrobe clear out and am left with two pairs of black trousers, a black skirt and various tops. I really need to re-stock but don't know where to start. I need to build up a good, flexible wardrobe that will give me a number of different looks.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received

You've hit the nail on the head over the Working Mum's Dilemma in lower paid jobs. I can't afford after school or holiday childcare, as it would cost me over double what I actually earn myself. I get round this by working in a school term time only & having a friend collect my children. The school's breakfast club is subsidised, so I can afford before school care. I also can't afford to spend lots of money on clothes for work. I get round this by wearing coloured jeans & leggings with smart tops, but do feel some days that I'd like to differentiate more between workwear & smart casual outfits I wear at home. It was easy when I was a banker as I wore suits to work & jeans at weekends.
