A Girl And Her Wardrobe

WIW : To Resign

March 24, 2015

Hi Ladies,

I received my formal job offer this morning, and I met with my current manager and submitted my resignation.

I felt Metalicus was the go for this particular occasion (ok I think it's perfect for most occasions).  It is cooling down and our forecast for today was a top of 19, so I got my new Ponte pants out, added my Metalicus Tunic and Metalicus Draped jacket.   The pants are a bit long but I have a soft spot for scrunch - looking at the pics I think I will take them up a little as the scrunch is too much yes?

My manager was lovely and quite suprised I was wanting to move on.  He is a lovey man and someone I really do enjoy working for, so I will miss him (he has only been with us a few months) but otherwise I don't feel there is a lot I will miss.  It's definitely time for change.

Comments, critiques much appreciated.  I do realise it's 'more of the same' but it is 'me' lol.  

xxx Deborah

BTW, I finish up my job next Thursday and have a week off (school holidays) before commencing the new role.

    Looks great, Deborah! I like the lines with the jacket added in #1. I agree on the pants, take them up a bit. But not too much!

  • Dimity replied 9 years ago

    That's the perfect 'resigning in' outfit. Strong, authoritative, no nonsense, but with enough style to say that you're an interesting person and not just a corporate suit. Maybe it's the perfect 'first day' outfit too?
    I envy your cooler temps. Still hovering around 30 degrees here.

    A lovely look. Glad the conversation went well. I know I dread such "talks"!
    And you are looking so slim and streamlined!

  • lyn67 replied 9 years ago

    Wow, Deb, congrats for the new job and all dreaded talks going well!:-) YLF in your drapy blacks (as always) and I surely loved the pictie nr 2. for the rich details.  I sometime wonder, how creative a girl has to be as regarding all those layerings and drapings to satisfy her sweet teeth of fashion, but continue to amaze me, day after day!

  • vesperholly replied 9 years ago

    What a fantastic tunic! I love the arty, drapey drama of it, soothed by a sophisticated black. Congratulations on your new job offer. May it be the beginning of an exciting new chapter in your life.

  • Style Fan replied 9 years ago

    How lovely you look!  I am glad the conversation went well.

  • Deb replied 9 years ago

    Bet you are glad that conversation is done and dusted. Onward and upward Deborah! You are looking lovely as always. And I agree, a little hemming would be better.

  • dakotacheryl replied 9 years ago

    Good luck on the new job Deborah...loved the creative flair to your "good bye" outfit !!

  • Summer replied 9 years ago

    Lovely, Deborah.  Enjoy your break, and good luck with the new job.

  • replied 9 years ago

    Oh, I love seeing you as 'you' Deb ;) You look fabulous as always. Just a smidge is needed off the pants I think. Have a nice week off.

  • gryffin replied 9 years ago

    Congrats. Great outfit - I love the proportions of the jacket, angles and drape. Interesting and flattering. I do have a couple of pairs of pants I wear long but my silhouette is more severe. Because you encorporate such lovely flow into your pieces, I don't think the extra scrunch is needed. Long but slightly less long would be cleaner. Great booties and perfect for the occasion. You need a great bootie for this kind of thing. So glad it went well. Enjoy your break and hope new job is wonderful!

  • kkards replied 9 years ago

    glad it went well. as always, you look fab. love the drapeyness of this. i like scrunch on my pants as well, as you are moving into winter, i'd try this with some winter outfits, and booties, first. 

  • krishnidoux replied 9 years ago

    I love it. To resign or not, I would wear it anytime!

  • Sharon replied 9 years ago

    Yay! Congratulations on the new job and so happy you are moving out of what sounded like a soul-sapping situation.
    Love the outfit! I agree that a little less scrunch would probably be a good counterbalance to the drape of the tunic. You are looking fabulous :)

  • TraceyLiz65 replied 9 years ago

    Congratulations and more of the same is fabulous, so why not?  You have a definite style that works beautifully.  I personally like the added texture of the scrunch..

  • replied 9 years ago

    Congratulations, Deborah! A very powerful yet respectful resignation outfit. And I don't know that I've ever thought about what to wear to resign, how lovely of you to be so considered and thoughtful. And I agree about hemming the pants just enough so the folds stay at the bottom. Love the look as always. I hope you have some fun planned for the school holidays.

  • viva replied 9 years ago

    Congratulations! I love the second picture, which shows how gorgeous and dramatic this outfit is, and how beautifully the drape of it all wraps your figure. You look wonderful.

  • Sara L. replied 9 years ago

    Nice!  I also really appreciate the second overexposed picture to better show the details of your outfit.  It can be so hard to see details in photographs of black outfits.

    Thought of you when I saw this !

    Sooooo happy for you Deborah and this change coming up - I know you're going to do extremely well in your new position :)

    And of course the outfit is smashing - strong, flattering, and stylish.

  • AM replied 9 years ago

    Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!
    This look is strong and has a decisiveness about it. As in, I've decided to move on. Well done! It is a beautiful outfit.

  • trekkiegirl replied 9 years ago

    I think Dimity said it best - "the perfect 'resigning in' outfit. Strong, authoritative, no nonsense,
    but with enough style to say that you're an interesting person and not
    just a corporate suit."

    You look great, and I love the drape of the jacket with the texture of the tunic. Very YOU, but still as interesting as ever :)

  • Dee replied 9 years ago

    Congratulations on the job offer and best of luck in the new position! You look perfect for your resignation day. I really love the look with the jacket. The pants do scrunch a bit, so taking them up is probably not a bad idea.

  • amiable replied 9 years ago

    Terrific outfit, and congratulations!

  • abc replied 9 years ago

    Great outfit, you wear drape like nobody's business.  I love how you can pull off drape yet structure, you are a very keen shopper because you know what works for you and your body.  I'm still learning.  I need to sit in on your master class :)

    Congrats on moving on.  Sometimes we just need a new start.  So happy for you.  Enjoy the week off.

  • Diana replied 9 years ago

    You look great and very chic.  Perfect outfit for moving onward and upward.  Congrats again.

  • Karie replied 9 years ago

    Congratulations on the new job! Your outfit is stunning. The drape of those pieces is exquisite.

  • Thistle replied 9 years ago

    You look strong and amazing. Congratulations on the new job. I am glad that worked out, and yes, sometimes, you just need a change.

  • merwoman replied 9 years ago

    You must be relieved to have 'the talk' over with. Brilliant idea to wear your signature look - beautiful draping and elegant lines. Congratulations on the new position and enjoy your well deserved break!

  • Sal replied 9 years ago

    Exciting all around, so pleased it all worked out in the end.  You look wonderful, the draping of the top is wonderful.

  • Ingunn replied 9 years ago

    You look wonderful indeed. I'm very happy to hear about your new job! Good luck!

  • Firecracker (Sharan) replied 9 years ago

    What a beautiful outfit. The jacket works well over the dress and the pants have just the right narrowness to complete the look. Yes, I think a little less scrunch would be even better, but this is a super fab look.
    Congratulations on your new venture!
