Dress me for the week

Flamingemu

So I can't wear anything short or form fitting next week to work. Most of my slacks are fitted - I actually don't think I own any loose fit anything anymore. That means I will be in skirts, but I can't wear tights due to the u-cath. So maxis or a cute midi skirt that doesn't make me look too old? How to I make one work for a professional environment and where can I find some in stores now? I only have 2 I could get away with at work (pattern wise) and my follow-up isn't until Thursday.

Do you have a not too tight black sheath dress you can change up? White button up under one day, blazer over one day, sweater over one day. In between, the two skirts you have.

Dresses I have. I am just worried about no hose or tights in the middle of winter. I just think it will be super awkward to wear them.

Thigh highs?

Dress barn? They are supposed to have more trendy lines these days.

Maybe a trip to JC penney?

I would probably use what I have if it could pass as a few days of borderline professional (not up to your usual standards), or I'd probably just dress like an old lady but buying the clothes for one time use would suck

Black MIDI skirt for sale $20 on dress barn's site. I'd wear it every other day.

OMG - Thigh highs. That would be perfect. Then I could get away with the skirts I already own. Geez why didn't I think of that.

Or that sally Hanson hose spray. Do they even make that anymore?

I forget that people in the north can't get away with dresses and boots without tights in the winter like we do down here.
