As a joint effort today we have put together what our next big buy for our wardrobes are. Nice way to see us into the weekend, if you ask me.

For me, I desperately want to try out some coloured jeans, more specifically, CORAL coloured jeans. I’ve seen them everywhere and most everyone looks pretty shit-hot wearing them!

My only concern is that I have a substantial bum and thighs and it may make them look significantly wider, but I *want* to be riskier with my fashion choices and I think this might be step one!

Here is how I would wear them:

Yes another Style Challenge has been presented to us and once again I’m going to split the posts up because I don’t want to overload our readers.

Our good friend Ry wrote to us asking for a bit of help with outfits to wear to work:

Hi girls!

My challenge to you is to design a few different outfits I could wear to work. As a journalist it’s very hard to find outfits that walk the fine line between professional and casual. As I balance my time between covering council issues and sport, I need to look professional but also be comfortable. Added to that is an inherent dislike of heels at work (I mean honestly, who can wear heels on a construction site?) and a need to have closed-in shoes for many of my jobs. So I’m looking for a professional, yet funky, range of outfits for work. My budget would be under $150 per outfit.

My size is about 18/20 for most clothes and about a seven and a half in shoes.

Hope you can help!

Ry.

Amy’s Thoughts

Hi Ry,

Thanks so much for writing into us. One thing we pride ourselves on here is that we can help the every-day woman look smart and feel sexy while being comfortable and practical!

I understand your pain of having to wear enclosed shoes that are appropriate as I too work in an industry that requires safe foot wear. I don’t like spending too much $$$ on footwear for work and find that hunting a decent deal at Target or Kmart is the way to go. Kmart have some great ballet flats that are sweet and cheap (not great on quality but if you have 7 pairs at $12 a pop, it certainly expands your choices) and Target has some great quality and inexpensive shoes too. I recently spent $40 on a pair of boots that I just adore. I can’t stop wearing them.

The first things I recommend you do to have a comfy yet professional wardrobe is buy a blazer. If you chuck a blazer over anything it suddenly looks corporate! ‘City Chic’ has some superb options and as someone who has met you and seen you body shape I highly recommend a blazer with a draped front. Here is an example for the bitching price of $79.95

Not only will this jacket flatter your figure, it is lightweight making it super practical for those of us who move around a lot. :)! If you want to spice it up a little brooches have made a big come back and you can usually find some cheap but chic versions at Diva or Lovisa.
