It’s elegant and feminine, a smidgen romantic and retro. Keep those wiws coming!!<br /> I sometimes feel awkward on the forum too because my outfits aren’t particularly “trendy”. But like Bijou said the diversity is why people love seeing the wiws, to get inspiration from other people’s aesthetic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-work-wiw#post-1988703 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 22:37:29 +0000 nemosmom 1988703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that your style isn't like the rest of the forum's! Wasn't it Angie's recent post that said how boring it would be if we all looked alike. </p> <p>Your outfits are adorable and your hair looks great! Have you tried Spin pins by Goody? They look like two chunky spiral hair pins? They hold my thick hair in a bun like nothing I've ever tried before.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-work-wiw#post-1988693 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 22:24:55 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1988693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear I'm not the only one who snuck off to check out Emmy, lol.

I thought the Fair Isle dress might be a bit out there (the skirt is more full than it looks in this picture and the sleeves are slightly puffed) but it helps that Fair Isle is on trend.</p> <p>That made my day,&nbsp;<b>Carla!&nbsp;</b>:D Thank you!</p> <p>Aww&nbsp;<b>Angie</b>! Thank you! I LOVE that dress and I'm already planning to get another one next fall, if they do more. It seems to be a staple style for them.</p> <p><b>Sara&nbsp;</b>I'm still learning the right balance of position and pinning (it needs some pins but they can pull if not done right) but I'm really enjoying the look. My hair should be fully waist length, at least when wet, by summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-work-wiw#post-1988273 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 17:40:08 +0000 Suz 1988273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Ginger, </b>your style is absolutely fabulous. You know what works for you and you take joy in it! </p> <p>I love that outfit in #1! And the flower in your hair is a lovely touch! Elegantly retro and fun. Plus, the white puffer was one of your most brilliant buys ever.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-work-wiw#post-1988217 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 15:13:10 +0000 Sara L. 1988217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks!&nbsp; I especially like the dress in #1 but your hair is great in #2 with the big bun and flower.&nbsp; I didn't realize your hair had gotten so long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-work-wiw#post-1988213 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 15:09:46 +0000 Angie 1988213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to see you post again,<b> Ginger</b>. My favourite is #1. Elegant. And you're stinking adorable in #3.&nbsp;</p> <p>*pinching those cheeks* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-work-wiw#post-1988202 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 14:46:58 +0000 Carla 1988202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of the great things on this site is that Angie asks us to be our best fashion selves while encouraging diversity and sharing tips and trends for us to pick and choose from. You are authentic to your style, and I enjoy your retro flair. FWIW, think you have the best puffer style on YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-work-wiw#post-1988201 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 14:39:53 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1988201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What? I love your style! If anything, these are more forum-normal than usual for you. They are all super, winter flower &amp; all. Best of all is your grin in all of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-work-wiw#post-1988187 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 14:21:18 +0000 Kathie 1988187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your personal style! Honestly, it’s great to see looks on the forum that are different, and the full skirts and cinched waists are so perfect for you- great modern retro looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-work-wiw#post-1988186 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 14:17:28 +0000 Ginger 1988186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Christmas season, but I have come to realize that it’s intense and stressful. Lots of extra commitments, on top of work being in a bit of a frenzy. So less essential things like posting on YLF go by the wayside. </p> <p>Angie’s blog this morning was personally reassuring. Let’s face it, my style is nothing like the rest of the forum’s. I have experimented a lot and tried new things, but I come back with joy to the silhouettes and items that work best. I don’t see that changing much.</p> <p>So here are my first two work outfits of 2019. </p> <p>1. I embraced the Fair Isle trend, but in a form I have long had on my mental wishlist: a fit-and-flare dress from the Swedish vintage repro company Emmy Design. It was a splurge! But I love it. </p> <p>2. Boden knit dress. This is rather extra bodycon from the last time I wore it, yikes. I changed to black ankle strap heels when I got into the office. </p> <p>The big white puffer is still going strong! The last two days have been wet and cold and just around freezing. No road problems (yet) but waterproof boots are important. </p> <p>My hair is continuing to grow, just a couple inches shy of my waist. Of course it looks shorter when curled. And I am still loving the high bun look. My messy bun was getting tricky with the increasing length, and I really like the effect of BIG hair, so I ordered last week a couple of hair doughnuts. This is the extra large one. It’s kind of crazy, but I also kind of love it. It helps that no one gave it a second glance at work!</p> <p>And yep, I am wearing a hair flower in January. It makes me happy! </p>
