I think you look great, as usual and the tee trick makes a big difference. I don't like to tuck so will have to try that. viva on "Combat boots to work . 3/3/21" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combat-boots-to-work-3321#post-2176103 Thu, 04 Mar 2021 13:21:59 +0000 viva 2176103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I hear what Bijou is saying ... but on the other hand, going to work is a major form of going out these days. I am of the mind that you should wear that blazer to work, pronto, maybe for an easier day when it won't get damaged? Bijou on "Combat boots to work . 3/3/21" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combat-boots-to-work-3321#post-2176077 Thu, 04 Mar 2021 07:53:41 +0000 Bijou 2176077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is great, the t-shirt knot makes all the difference, giving the top structure. My vote is to wear the new leather blazer out and about on non-work days initially. Sometimes it is good to keep your favourite pieces away from work at least for the first few months of wear. You always find the best footwear.

My favorite part is the chain on the boots with your chunky silver chain necklace.

I can’t decide if it’s too good for work . I’d hate to have something happen to it - it’s pretty delicate . How will you be styling yours ? I could use some inspiration ! Anonymous on "Combat boots to work . 3/3/21" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combat-boots-to-work-3321#post-2176055 Thu, 04 Mar 2021 02:40:59 +0000 Anonymous 2176055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fixing the hem on the t-shirt made it feel so much better. It's a stretch poly short sleeve shirt that isn't flattering on anyone, and is tired and worn .  With all of the closures during the past year, uniforms weren't reordered. Apparently these are being abandoned in favor of a grey polar fleece zip - up.  Eyeroll.   Jaime on "Combat boots to work . 3/3/21" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combat-boots-to-work-3321#post-2176050 Thu, 04 Mar 2021 02:18:14 +0000 Jaime 2176050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Outfit is fantastic and the boots are stunning. Can the chain be replaced somehow? Anyway raising the waistline with the twist is brilliant and makes the tee look intentional (whatever that really means). I bet your co-workers will start doing it next.

This looks great!! How do you do the fake twist? Does it permanently ruin the tee shirt? Knotting used to do that. I love the boots, chain - just awesome. I thought the tee looked nice. It seems like a good clear gray on the monitor and looks really flattering in the whole outfit. Have your worn your leather blazer yet? I’m wearing mine for it’s maiden voyage tomorrow. Fantastic look!! Love it all and get why you baby those boots!! I do that w my PG for sure!! madeline on "Combat boots to work . 3/3/21" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combat-boots-to-work-3321#post-2175971 Wed, 03 Mar 2021 19:59:21 +0000 madeline 2175971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great look!
