Of course that presents another problem... I needed clothes. Clothes that an adult would wear to work.. Clothes that aren't worn out...and that meant I needed to shop.. So one day right before Christmas said daughter and I went and I actually tried on and bought a ton of tops...and one pair of jeans (yes, as a volunteer, I can wear jeans)..
Now comes the tricky part... accessories.. I have a pair of earrings, a watch and a few rings that Rich has given me over the years... Yet, I don't have that cute stuff.. those pieces that just make the outfit..
Well, I might have found the buying place....
Last week, Shabby Apple contacted me and asked if I would be interested in giving away a piece of jewelry to my readers... I was shocked! I have watched (and entered) giveaways at other blogs, but they were HUGE blogs...with tons of readers...Me? not a big blog...although I love my faithful readers...
And so I went shopping in their accessories department and picked this... It was really hard to choose from all the beautiful vintage pieces...

I am terrible at style, but I would put it with the atlantic fog
I shop at lane bryant for my work clothes
I'm a follower, as you know. I LOVE that key necklace!!! I will go now and look at the outfits and come back and report in to you soon!
Hmmmm...I like that necklace with several of the dresses but I keep going back to The Red Queen (in the Mad Hatter collection)and the Ponderosa in the Berkshires collection. (I have very little jewelry, too...but you chose wisely as I think that necklace would go with a lot of outfits!)
Not working right now, so I can't talk about work clothes. I find I buy my clothes at a variety of places.....even Walmart and K-Mart AND I also check out thrift shops and have gotten some nice things in them! We have outlet shopping centers near us and I also make sure I check them out for when prices are really good (which isn't always the case)......the Coldwater Creek outlet...Old Navy.....and Vanity Fair are the ones I seem to look in the most.
I have followed you for quite a while. I have especially enjoyed the adventures of the remodel!
I found several, 4.0 from the academia collection would show off that necklace nicely!
I don't have to shop for work clothes, thankfully, but I do like Coldwater Creek for nicer things.
Congrat's on the giveaway! Fun!! Of course, I'm a follower. =)
Wow, what perfect timing as I became a follower just this weekend!
I am a new follower. Thanks for the chance. Looking forward to your future posts.
I love the simplicity of the Ink Brush outfit - that would work with this necklace!!
When you say 'work clothes' I am thinking overalls and big work boots!! Since I work in an office, I need to dress up a little, not too much because it would be very uncomfortable for me (no high heels for this gal!!) anyhooo, I shop at Reitman's.
I'm a follower. Love, love the key necklace. Veronica
I no longer work outside the home so I don't get to dress up. I really like this Nantucket dress, http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-15-nantucket.aspx
When I worked I usually hit Kohl's and JC Penney's more often than most other stores.

I shop for work clothes at Vintage Values.
Thank you for the chances to win!
I have been following for a long while but couldn't find me as a follower so I just "re-upped" and now I will look at the Shabby Apple because I Love that Key.
I"shop" very little but when I need something new for my part-time job I always go to Lands End for the pants (stretch cords & 7 day pants in the summer)
These products last and last - or at least that has been the history, of course all things do change. It has been awhile since I ordered. I love stretch waist stuff.
I looked at Shabby Apple and I really loved all the accessories, however I did not find an outfit for me. I am strictly a pants person at this stage. Didn't find any except for some nice excercise things, however I don't excercise in public, so my old stuff will do - :)

I like the ahoy and overboard dress

I think the necklace would work well with B 17 Bombshell dress (just wish _I_ could work well in that dress. ha ha!)
I usually shop for work clothes at Coldwater Creek. Especially their online outlet... and especially when everything is an extra 50% off or more (I am very cheap about clothes!).
I usually shop for work clothes at Kohl's.
I like the Ink Brush outfit at the shabby Apple. I think it would show off the necklace beautifully. It is a really cute piece of jewelry.
I like the Spanish Steps dress on Shabby Apple.

Love the necklace - it'll go with just about everything! Plain crew neck or turtleneck tops especially. Jan O from STLMQG
I buy work clothes at Coldwater Creek, Marshall's, JC Penney's...wherever I can find something flattering that fits. My formula: black pants, black shell or layering piece, colored cardigan or jacket. Jan O
I like the "White Queen" blouse. will set off the necklace nicely. Jan o
