Anyone want to shop for me today instead of work?

84Lauren · August 2014

Sooooo, my company's logo/brand has been red/black/gray since I started there 6 years ago, and my coworker and I have built up quite the matching wardrobe. It's become "our thing" to dress to match the company colors, even our nails, especially at our annual user conference.

Well. SOME bright fool in marketing decided it would be fun to completely redo our brand and unveil it at this year's conference, which means all of our work outfits are now completely obsolete. And the new main color? Bright cobalt blue! WTF?!? Who has that just laying around in their closet?

So, I need pretty nice work clothes based around cobalt blue. Yellow is another color thrown into our materials a lot, and it's paired mostly with white writing (not black). Anyone want to find me some fun things? I have a blue pencil skirt in my head, but I can't find one.

I don't know if this is the exact color you are looking for, but it's a pretty blue dress that you could pair with cardigans/blazers/tights if it ever gets cold or a short sleeve cardigan during the warmer months

Bright blue heels

This sweater comes in yellow or blue and would be cute with a lot of different colored collared shirts underneath

I want to find a blazer, but I haven't come across one yet. I would rather be doing anything other than working today.

I have a pair of bright cobalt blue heels in my closet as we speak.

(Surprise surprise)'

off to go shopping!

84Lauren · August 2014

@Lauren620 !!! So many good things! I thought ON would be a gold mine but when I did a quick filter by color came up with nothing. Those pants are totally happening. And I LOVE the blue J Crew dress.

Blue heels are also totally happening, I probably need at least 3 outfits so I figure one can just be blue shoes/accessories.

84Lauren · August 2014

P.S. I do actually HAVE blue heels, and they're even almost the right color (a little too green), but they're super shiny metallic. I'm not sure I can quite work them in to a work outfit.

Too bad I live 3,000 miles away and am not a size negative 2 shoe.

LOL

This is a start. I threw in some yellow too.

84Lauren · August 2014

LOVE the yellow blouse! The color is exactly right.

I want a pencil skirt, gah! I found a few on Pinterest but either broken links or $$$$$

Express has a blue portofino shirt, but I didn't see anything in yellow or gray. A white or ivory would be great to go with your bright colored pants/skirts.

I looked at Banana Republic too and they didn't have anything. The only blue tones were blah looking navy. I normally love navy, just not what I was finding there today. New York and Company had a few tops, but I like the portofino better.

@booneybear, what is asos? Should I know? Have you ever bought stuff from there before? I love that pleated skirt! Although I'm not sure I can justify the $70.

And the pencil skirt was perfection but the biggest they had was an 8, and with a skirt that tight and clingy there is NO way I could swing that, boo.

LOVE those shoes, did you really get them?

I love ASOS sometimes. Although I find their stuff runs a bit on the small side.

I did not buy the shoes.......YET. But I can't get them out of my head.

Just wanted to add that I love that you like to match your company colors!

RiverPlate · August 2014

I have this dress from Modcloth and I absolutely love it. I wore it to work yesterday in fact.

Anyone want to shop for me today instead of work?
