They have different brands and it's very affordable. I always find something there, even when I am not really looking for anything. The bonus is that most of their stuff is machine washable, I really only dry clean a few things these days, I would suspect in healthcare you want to be able to launder easily.</p> <p>I also like the suggestion of having socks if you have to remove your shoes, or some kind of light slip on indoor shoe if you need some stability. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/style-ideas-for-my-new-job#post-2611594 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 12:12:13 +0000 PinkElephant 2611594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: has a really good suggestion - we are a no-shoes home. Socks like these are great for wearing under flats; they even make cuter ones with lace trim if you prefer that:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/hue-hidden-cotton-liner-4-pair-pack-black-cream-assorted?zlfid=191&#038;ref=pd_detail_1_sims_p_ab" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/hue-hidden-cotton-liner-4-pair-pack-black-cream-assorted?zlfid=191&#038;ref=pd_detail_1_sims_p_ab</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/style-ideas-for-my-new-job#post-2611585 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 11:45:48 +0000 yoursilverlining 2611585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably avoid dresses and skirts since it sounds like you will be up/down a lot and maybe on floors interacting with littles? Sounds like pants might be easier? Or leggings with short dresses?</p> <p>I’d get some ankle pants, some shells and cardigans. Then if someone’s home is super warm you have a layer to take off, and if not, you’ve got a bit of a sweater on already. Plus you can pretty easily mix/match shells and cardigans to maximize looks from a couple of outfits. I like Talbots for cardigans and shells. I have some ankle pants from Jag Jeans that I really like – super comfortable and have tummy support to suck in any squish. </p> <p>There are tons of great flats available; I’ve had good luck with comfort/style and quality from Me Too brand of flats and also Sketchers makes some flats with super cushiony and supportive soles. I have some in straight black, so they match up nicely with most outfits. </p> <p>Nordstrom is of course a great selection and has free returns. I also like Talbots and Ann Taylor / Loft because they have frequent sales, but I’ve never ordered online from them before so I can’t comment on shipping costs/policies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/style-ideas-for-my-new-job#post-2611577 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 11:33:49 +0000 LulaBee 2611577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm obsessed with Dansko Maria boots. The most comfy shoes I own and totally work appropriate (I work at a CPA firm and deem them dressy enough, but I also wear on weekends). </p> <p>I like Old Navy Pixie pants- inexpensive but nice and comfy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/style-ideas-for-my-new-job#post-2611558 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 10:58:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 2611558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Limited ankle pants are my favorite, I think they would be most practical with a nice shirt/sweater. NY &amp; Co has great and affordable business friendly clothes. </p> <p>For Winter, I highly recommend getting some cotton dresses and pair with fleece-lined leggings and boots, you say warm and still look cute (and will be able to interact with your young clients!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/style-ideas-for-my-new-job#post-2611557 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 10:57:44 +0000 avivoca 2611557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely nice comfy flats, and maybe even some nice sneakers to wear! Also, keep some nice socks around, some people may not want you wearing shoes in their home, so it's good to have your own socks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/style-ideas-for-my-new-job#post-2611553 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 10:54:05 +0000 QBbride 2611553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>EEK! I'm starting a new job as a public health nurse in a couple weeks and I need some style help please! I will be working with babies, toddlers and preschoolers in their homes and at the community health centre. I'm assuming the dress code is casual but nice casual. I've always worn scrubs to work and I usually just wear leggings/jeans on my days off. I never wear heels. </p> <p>So far I've got two maxi skirts from a friend, I have a jean jacket, what else do I need? I'm thinking ankle length skinnys from somewhere but not sure where?! How about shoes? Some nice (comfy) flats?? </p> <p>Bonus points for being able to order online :happy:<br /> THANKS!!! </p>
