Kristen outfits 2/13-19 - YouLookFab Forum

I think I wore dresses everyday this week too, but I swear it was an accident!

Monday: Okay, I stand corrected; this one only LOOKS like a dress. Heh. This a black skirt and black cowlneck sweater with a blue open cardigan and blue scarf tied in a bow. Not my favorite outfit, but an excuse to wear my favorite shoes!

Tuesday: New teal ruffled dress worn with a teal boyfriend cardigan. This dress is going to get worn to DEATH this spring, I guarantee!

Wednesday: New Alfani jersey dress that I scored at Macys for a fabulous deal. The brown and white contrasts against the black are everything I love about mixing neutrals this winter. I am insanely in love with this dress.

Thursday: Suit day with the execs! I picked up a couple of gorgeous blue brooches from a fellow blogger so I was delighted to be able to wear one with this outfit. The top is new from Target; they're doing sweet work with many of their spring tops, and I am scooping them up for my suit days (of which there will be many).

Friday: I know Angie does not approve of bright tights for women my age, but I liked the way the red went right down into the red shoes. Plus, wearing colored tights was my humorous version of business casual.

Next week I am in the office for 3 days so I'm looking forward to playing with a more relaxed version of business casual. Not sure exactly what it will entail yet...knowing my, probably just more dresses. LOL!

You look superb in a suit but my favorite is Tuesday. Now if I only I could steal that dress from you...

The ruffles on that teal dress - love, love, L.O.V.E.!

Repeat above for the shoes with your suit.

Super love for the red tights and the shoes you wore with them. Egads Girl! I had no idea you had such a magnificent shoe collection!

Kari

The teal-on-teal works so well - I've found that can be a really hard color for me to coordinate without the tones clashing!

Your dress, patterned hose, and booties "uniform" is just so perfect, and I love how you remix your awesome dress collection beautifully every time. Can I borrow you and Laura next time I go dress shopping?

Kristen, fabulous week! I love your clever accessorizing and layering, it makes your business casual so much fun! The teal combo is fantastic, and you have such a beautiful shoe collection.

Tricia

Louise

Correction! I am consistent in my feeling about coloured tights :0). I totally dig MUTED colourful tights on lasses our age when worn in a sophisticated manner that's not matchy-matchy, but with a monochromatic flavour instead. It’s when tights are bright and matched that I feel they really don’t work on anyone but young, young girls because it's just too constume-like (like bright pink tights, black skirt, bright pink top). But the way you've worn these tights so that they are a continuation of the colour of the shoes with a LBD is perfect! And it’s getting a KILLER rating.

Btw, you can wear leggings with many of these dresses. You don't need to shop for tunics.

Kristen

Ahhhh, thanks for the clarification, Angie! Those are guidelines I can live with.

When it gets to be spring here, I may try leggings with a couple of the dresses (the ruffled teal especially). But while it is still ponte pants weather, I would like to find at least one actual tunic. We've got at least a month of winter weather yet, alas!

Laura

What Angie said -- you can easily swap out your fab tights for leggings and wear ballet flats to make these dresses casual. I wear dresses and tunics pretty interchangeably myself. Macy's has some new jersey dresses in fun prints that you must check out!

Kristen I lurve your style so much!

All your outfits look great, but I am in love with the Alfani dress and the way you wear it.

RoseandJoan

Gosh Kristen, you are a clever dresser, you can mix colours, pattern, texture and even coloured hose into an outfit an still look quite understated. Your skirt suit is beautiful, how are you enjoying your new job?

Stylin

Kristen, I covet your shoe collection! Love your style.
