Here's what I wore:
Pencil skirt: check! (30 votes) Blouse/shirt: check! (15 votes) Belt: check! (16 votes) Kitten heels: check! (17 votes) Bold jewelry: check (21 votes) Also, good job on predicting neutrals and pattern mixing!I fooled you, too, though. I wore sheer (the shirt) and strapless! The single votes for those are mine - of course, I always vote on my own polls.
The skirt is new - I got it at the same boutique as the fab New Job Jacket.Oh, and blazer: check! (19 votes):
It was sort of sunny today, and this jacket is a heavy velvety brocade, so I wore it as outerwear (only worn once, here).

I walked to one of my company's offices this morning for the HR orientation, then walked about 8 blocks to my main office (it's only about 6 blocks from my old office, so I'm actually on exactly the same route to walk as before).
It's hard to see but it's a felted wool, with patches of fuzzier wool with loops of yarn felted to it, and random stitches. Above is the front of the skirt.

For those of you who've asked, I will indeed be able to continue doing my Tuesday WW group - I'll just make up the time missed. Pretty sweet!
My first day was good - I liked all the people I met and it seems like the job will be right in my wheelhouse. Lots of different things to do - and you can bet that in a year, I'll be running things like clockwork!
This skirt deserved some detail shots:

I like the pockets.
The stuff:
You can see the nice brocade texture in the jacket there.
A close-up:
Naturally I went with bold accessories: my watch necklace, my silver ring and big white gold hoops.
I also did cufflinks:
These are L's and are 60s or 70s vintage, I think. The silhouette is of Pallas or Athena.
When you open the "lock" mechanism, you can see the "Hickok" stamp on them:
The opposite side says "USA".
