What does your office dress code look like and do you find it’s easy to find clothes for work? My last job was fairly casual with jeans and a nice blouse being acceptable. My current company is more formal with slacks being mandatory and jeans completely inappropriate. I’m struggling to find cute outfits with slacks. They just don’t feel right on me, and I know my style at work could be better.

Ours is pretty laid back and I actually wish it was more like yours, I love the business professional look. Have you been to places like Style Encore? They're like a thrift store for womens clothing, but some things still have the original tags on them. The prices are great, but I love that there are soooooo many different brands to try on. Then if you find one that fits your body the way you like, you now have a brand to shop instead of aimlessly trying store after store.

Hmmm I haven’t heard of that store before, I’ll have to take a look and see if there’s one near me. Thank you for the suggestion!

Very formal here as well. Dress pants and a dress shirt are expected at a minimum. I don't mind it as much now that the weather is finally cooling, but not being able to wear skirts and short sleeves during the summer is miserable.

Ours is so laid back. I literally wear a baggy jumper and baggy jeans into the office most days. As long as we don’t come in wearing pyjamas or a bikini we are all good :D
