Wow thanks for all the ideas guys !!!

Hadnt realy thought of the dress idea the misguided one is great so is the purple one

I think I might go for blacks and greys mainly and then have some tops and accessories in bright colours just in case.

Might be trawling ebay too I love a bargain I have a gorgeous french connection wool dress I might try out in my new office and see it mixes well it is very smart but is slightly shorter but as it is all wool and has 3/4 legnth sleeves and goes right up to my neck I think it might work - might check them out to see if they have any new season stuff

Plus check out this dead pretty while blouse - you can never have too many and hte price is good too!!

That shirt is adorable! Missguided is my fave new store.

Also, if you wear black tights you can get away with shorter skirts :)

Yea I tend to do that - and I know its slightly off topic but speaking of tights I am super impressed with the tights I got in primark a few weeks ago I went back and got 3 more pairs - they are toeless tights they have a little hole for your big toe and a bigger hole for all the others and a seam so they dont ride up or fray

Most of the sandals and peep toes I have I manage to hide the seam under and there you go - the girls at work were facinated my legs looked natural but slight amount of colour then you look at my toes and they think Im not wering tights - its saved me out of a jame a few times when fake tan didnt work right or something - anyway just thought id say they are only £2 or something and are usually located near the checkout with all the bodyshaping tights and stuff definately worth a try especially when the british summer isnt exactly warm but you wanna look summery!!!
