[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 110578, member: 2672"] You won't look "overly serious" in a white blouse and black trousers/blazer - it's a pretty safe option to go for. More flowy blouses will be fine too - my advice is just to avoid anything that is overly patterned/bold. That could be worn on a normal day - "casual Fridays" are typically jeans/trainers type of wear (albeit on the smart side of this - e.g. no ripped/distressed jeans, everything should be clean/tidy). I lived in H&M dresses throughout my time in law firms - still live in them now when I am in the city/on client site. I have lived in their wrap dresses - find their length is business appropriate and they are smart enough with tights and a blazer/jacket or very smart cardigan for days when I have no meetings. The shoes are ok and I have seen people wear things like this. I am very particular about shoes, so my personal suggestion would be something slightly less "chunky" - like this - [URL='https://www.newlook.com/uk/womens/footwear/shoes/black-metal-trim-block-heel-court-shoes/p/683097001']Black Metal Trim Block Heel Court Shoes | New Look[/URL] or [URL='https://www.marksandspencer.com/wide-fit-block-heels-court-shoes/p/clp60168873?color=NAVY#intid=prodColourId-60213604']Wide Fit Block Heel Court Shoes | M&S Collection | M&S (marksandspencer.com)[/URL] but that is my biases coming out!
