I am joining the chorus of those who especially love Wednesday's outfit. What a great example of how to make an Audrey-ish little black dress look completely professional.</p> <p>I've worn walking shorts to work last summer &#38; this summer, too. I was really hesitant about it until I saw a few other women wearing cargo-style clamdiggers to work, and I figured that walk shorts in a dressy fabric would definitely be appropriate.</p> <p>To add to Chris' suggestion, The Limited also had some cute looking walk shorts on their website a couple weeks ago if you are looking for a second pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits/page/2#post-72255 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 16:29:40 +0000 Chris 72255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked your interpretations of workplace casual - still very professional.</p> <p>You might add another pair of walking shorts to your shopping list if you have hot weather often (I never think about the heat anymore as I am in SF) and those can mix into Fridays.</p> <p>New York and Company has great options for trend pieces and accessories. Do you have one nearby? I get too much spam from them but they send coupons almost daily lately so shopping there without one is not right either.<br /> Check their website to sign up but at peril for spam! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits/page/2#post-72097 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:52:04 +0000 rute 72097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great Work!</p> <p>Loved everyone! Executive yet very young and fashion, loved the colors used also! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits/page/2#post-72095 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:25:32 +0000 kimlee 72095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is Friday's outfit. Fridays are casual dress in our office. I wanted to incorporate Angie's rules about smart casual today - but with temps soaring to the 103 mark, jean were not an option. Instead I opted to pair this floaty blouse with a pair of walking shorts. </p> <p><a href="http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=688210022/PictureID=18897729022/a=436021022_436021022/otsc=SHR/otsi=SPIClink/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish/" rel="nofollow">http://www2.snapfish.com/slide.....=snapfish/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits/page/2#post-71705 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:24:02 +0000 Violet 71705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing your outfits. You look great. I LOVE Wedneday's outfit with the yellow cardi and necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits/page/2#post-71697 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:13:59 +0000 kimlee 71697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is Thursday's outfit. Today is a weird day in our office. The wife of our CFO is delivering their second child (and first son) on Tuesday. Therefore, we are hosting a baby shower for the happy couple and the big sister. The shower will be tomorrow but the preparation has to be done today. Therefore, I went a bit more towards the casual side of "business casual". </p> <p><a href="http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=688210022/PictureID=18676744022/a=436021022_436021022/otsc=SHR/otsi=SPIClink/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish/" rel="nofollow">http://www2.snapfish.com/slide.....=snapfish/</a></p> <p>The top is a New York and Company button up that I thrifted (with tags still on) for a mere $1.99. The skinny belt was only $.50. I paired the items with a pair of brown trousers that are part of a suit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits#post-71690 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:06:23 +0000 Angie 71690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wed is gorgeous! Splendid lemon yellow cardi with white beads :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits#post-71684 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:57:21 +0000 Alecia 71684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that each day in the week gets better and better. Great job, Kimlee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits#post-71682 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:55:52 +0000 anne 71682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All good, but I love the latest the best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits#post-71680 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:54:05 +0000 kimlee 71680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny - Thanks for the tips about being too "matchy-matchy". I had a similar thought go thru my head while driving to work, but by then it was just too late to change it. </p> <p>I am still on the fence about the kind of handbag or tote I would need. Right now, I do not have a ton of paperwork that I had to bring back and forth. But that could be changing soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits#post-71676 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:26:10 +0000 shiny 71676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wednesday is the best yet! LOVE. You look like you mean business!! </p> <p>My only critique would be that the white jewelry looks a tad too matchy-matchy to me. The general rule of thumb is only two items in the same color. Sometimes you can get away with three, but since all three of your white elements are jewelry, it looks too much like a set, which is kind of old-fashioned way to go these days. All the pieces are GREAT and you will get tons of mileage out of them - just don't wear them all at once! To modernize, what I would do is simply swap out the earrings for silver or gold studs. Or swap the necklace for a scarf. </p> <p>That sheath dress is wonderful and you can style it in so many ways, and wear it year-round. For example:</p> <p>- with a scarf instead of necklace<br /> - with a blazer instead of a cardigan<br /> - with a long cardigan belted with a skinny belt<br /> - with a white button down shirt underneath<br /> - with a turtleneck in a flattering color<br /> - with knee-high boots<br /> - with textured tights and spectator booties<br /> - with ballet flats<br /> - with a jean jacket for casual fridays</p> <p>Since I know you are making a list of accessories to shop for, let me add "something in an animal print." A handbag or a pair of pumps or a belt in an animal print (just one - not all at once) would take this outfit from Love to Killer. :-)</p> <p>Have you thought about what kind of handbag or tote you want for work? Do you need to bring a laptop or lots of paperwork back and forth on your commute? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits#post-71668 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 12:41:37 +0000 kimlee 71668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris - Thanks for the posting tip. After this week, I will probably keep all of my outifts in a catalog and post the entire album on Friday night. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits#post-71622 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 02:32:53 +0000 Chris 71622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is the best one yet! Look at that necklace too.</p> <p>You may want to post a great day like that on seperate posts so everyone sees it and can comment. Or catalog and post on Friday night/weekend?<br /> Otherwise you are missing all the great advice!</p> <p>I love the yellow and black combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits#post-71621 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 02:32:36 +0000 sinead 71621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You have got it going on- executive style! You give the impression of "in charge and know what I'm doing". Love how you've styled the black dress with the cardi and white accents. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits#post-71616 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 02:26:27 +0000 kimlee 71616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is Wednesday's outfit....</p> <p><a href="http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=688210022/PictureID=18579946022/a=436021022_436021022/otsc=SHR/otsi=SPIClink/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish/" rel="nofollow">http://www2.snapfish.com/slide.....=snapfish/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits#post-71409 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:52:46 +0000 Debora 71409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfits!

The wide belt works very well with that strong look. Plus, your smile and dimples light up the room! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits#post-71290 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 02:28:06 +0000 Angie 71290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

The burgundy is a great shade and nice contrast with the jacket.</p> <p>Your shopping trip sounds fun. You might want to make a list of your "wants" so that you stay on budget and don't get overwhelmed.</p> <p>One thing you could do is lay out all your work clothes and take a few photos along - then you'll stay focused on accessories.</p> <p>One great bag in a neutral shade (black, brown, cream, dark red) should do for now. You have a beautiful neckline so necklaces will be fantastic on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits#post-71187 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 20:18:41 +0000 Melody 71187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket over the burgundy top! Great outfit ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits#post-71104 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:44:44 +0000 kimlee 71104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny - Thanks for the suggestion. I have taken them all to heart and will be putting them on my shopping list. </p> <p>KristenKP - I appreciate the tip about Kohl's and have already starte viewing some of their selections online.</p> <p>Alecia - I hadn' t even thought about thrift stores for jewelry, I will have to start looking for fun pieces when I go thrifting again.</p> <p>Again, I appreciate all of the feedback. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits#post-71070 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 14:09:26 +0000 Alecia 71070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also have had a lot of fun looking for jewelry additions at thrift stores. There's some great vintage stuff out there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits#post-71065 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 14:01:52 +0000 Vani 71065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Kristen, Kohls always has a good collection of fun inexpensive fashion jewelry. Etsy is another wonderful source for inexpensive, one of a kind pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits#post-71062 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 13:59:15 +0000 Kristen 71062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I started off my jewelry collection very small and very cheaply; Kohls has a great assortment of necklaces, from silver pendants to fun colored beads. As I gained more confidence and knowledge, I tried different lengths and styles, but honestly, the simple ones I bought at the beginning get the most wear still. Your SIL will get you going, I am sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-executive-outfits#post-71050 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 13:35:20 +0000 Vani 71050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking great kimlee! Well done. Really like the pencil skirt look on you </p>
