Usually it's fine but whatever. The pants amazingly stayed rolled... Moreover, I wore the same outfit today with my Timberland booties, and they are still going strong.</p> <p>Mani, it is geared toward helping women. They even had to think long and hard on whether to accept male applicants for paid positions since some of our clients may come from abusive backgrounds. It is supposed to be a 100% comfortable space for them.</p> <p>Kim, thank you for the link; I will check it out for sure!</p> <p>And thank you everyone else for your support. It feels good to be back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressed-for-dress-for-success#post-1007670 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 12:03:21 +0000 Kim 1007670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit Rae, and glad you are doing something about overcoming any anxiety you have in regards to the robbery.&nbsp; </p> <p>I might be overstepping a little here, (but I'm a Mom and you're young enough to be my kid so...) there's a good post in Off Topic about websites that help to find strategies to overcome anxieties (of all kinds.).&nbsp; You may want to have a look and see if there's anything useful for you there.&nbsp; Many tools make the work easier (well, easy might not be the right word, but you know what I mean...right?

Congratulatory hugs on those first tentative but brave steps. So glad for you, even though they are the ones lucky to have you.</p> <p>Aside: Does DFS ever have male clients? Or is it intended as a women's empowerment enterprise? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressed-for-dress-for-success#post-1007605 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 05:54:55 +0000 CocoLion 1007605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you had fun. &nbsp;Fortunately I am familiar with the Report Marks booties you have in a tan-cognac color, as well as the stripey Brahmin bag. &nbsp;So I am using my powers to see the whole outfit. &nbsp;;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressed-for-dress-for-success#post-1007597 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 05:18:18 +0000 lyn* 1007597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, you look so comfy and approachable, Rae.

It is a slow process but give yourself a pat on the back for going. It is a big step. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressed-for-dress-for-success#post-1007530 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 02:40:22 +0000 Marley 1007530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea Rae to pay for closer parking.&nbsp;Glad you are being gentle with yourself!<br />OK - so where are your boots and your handbag in this pic????&nbsp; I really like the pants rolled up - did they stay, or did you have trouble keeping them up and in place? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressed-for-dress-for-success#post-1007495 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 01:51:55 +0000 rae 1007495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Worn with the Brahmin and&nbsp;Report Marks booties in sand color - not even I go barefoot in Hollywood. :P</p> <p>I had not been to DFS to volunteer since the robbery at my previous workplace. I usually park in a different area and take the subway, but the thought of being in that enclosed space underground created too much anxiety. Finally forced myself to go even though I am paying for close parking to start off with. I'm very glad I went back! I worked there both Tuesday and today and had a lot of fun with the clients.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jessica Howard shrug - Macy's<br />Pleione shell - Nordies (gratis)<br />Cat pendant - Madewell<br />Hugo Boss trousers (rolled up to capri length) - flea market<br />Brahmin satchel - Nordstrom<br />Report Marks booties - Amazon</p> <p>PS: Please excuse the large donating bags in the background. </p>
