I too think there should be a female Bond!<br /> Many years ago, I was in this job searching class. We had to do mock interviews for our dream job. All the others used traditional jobs- but I was interviewing for the role of Jane Bond </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/early-march-wiw-including-jenninzs-copycat#post-2177567 Wed, 10 Mar 2021 09:49:29 +0000 lyn67 2177567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The most gorgeous and creative 007 I have ever seen!

I think they look that annoying word “fine”, and you may be practical enough for that to be good enough. I suspect your dissatisfaction with them may be because when you look at the 2 photos together, the jeans outfit is just that much more flattering on you. I would also be annoyed about the sunk cost if it were me, so whether I would make myself wear them and then maybe like them after a bit is a moot point. It has happened like that to me before. And you do want them to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/early-march-wiw-including-jenninzs-copycat#post-2177300 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 16:46:53 +0000 Janet 2177300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, re the brown pants, they’re not awful but they’re not my favorite of yours. I say if they don’t make you feel good or they don’t seem super useful, I’d let them go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/early-march-wiw-including-jenninzs-copycat#post-2177298 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 16:45:50 +0000 Anonymous 2177298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your Jane Bond look. &nbsp;You know how to rock that superspy attire. Deadly blondes are so iconic!</p> <p>I'm pretty neutral on the brown pants. &nbsp;It's nice to have things like that knock around in, but if you don't feel fabulous in them, pass them on.</p> <p>It was inspiring to hear about your party. &nbsp;I'm so looking forward to gatherings again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/early-march-wiw-including-jenninzs-copycat#post-2177291 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 16:37:17 +0000 Janet 2177291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, crossing fingers for you too! I feel for our friends with spring birthdays, they are pretty well sure to have two socially distant birthdays. ☹️ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/early-march-wiw-including-jenninzs-copycat#post-2177290 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 16:34:21 +0000 Angie 2177290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope to only have one birthday in quarantine too.

A 50th celebration at last! I’m thrilled for you :)</p> <p>You make the BEST Jane Bond! KILLER to the Power of KILLER outfit. Very clever! </p> <p>I love the other two looks too. The brown pants look great in the pic. But if they feel off in some way, pass them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/early-march-wiw-including-jenninzs-copycat#post-2177223 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 13:28:58 +0000 Janet 2177223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic 007! That is such a great celebration idea, and you look marvelous and happy.</p> <p>On a small personal note, I’m so glad you could have that delayed party! It made me realize that I’m hoping that I will only have had to spend one birthday in quarantine — fingers crossed I can be vaccinated and enjoy gathering by August. My two BFFs are vaccinated because of their jobs but I’m far down the list. I actually had a dream two nights ago that I was hugging them tightly and crying. And it just now occurred to me that yesterday was the exact one year anniversary of the last time I hugged them IRL because it was our other BFF’s “celebration of life” memorial service. Small wonder I’ve been struggling a little emotionally lately. Gathering with friends is so important, and I am thrilled you can do so safely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/early-march-wiw-including-jenninzs-copycat#post-2177222 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 13:19:59 +0000 cat2 2177222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wait until it’s truly hot to make the call on the pants, as they look intended for layering with more linen or a light silk top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/early-march-wiw-including-jenninzs-copycat#post-2177215 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 12:36:00 +0000 Minaminu 2177215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jane, you would be a wonderful 007!

I just showed Neil- it was his 60th not mine. He says it wasn’t original from him anyway but original TO him IYKWIM. He liked your pics very much!<br /> 9 months later is better than nothing!<br /> You make a gorgeous Jane Bond, and Jon is a good villain although perhaps a bit too handsome! I think that actor may be going to be Gellert Grindelwald in the next Fantastic Beasts instead of Johnny Depp. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/early-march-wiw-including-jenninzs-copycat#post-2177176 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 05:28:00 +0000 slim cat 2177176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun party! You look great as Jane Bond!<br />I like the brown ( linen? ) pants but I've faced the same feeling about my pants&nbsp;( similar fabric and shape, long length ) and decided to part with them.<br />They may feel less exciting without dressy shoes with a bit of platform or heel ( to my eye at least ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/early-march-wiw-including-jenninzs-copycat#post-2177171 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 05:16:50 +0000 Anonymous 2177171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/early-march-wiw-including-jenninzs-copycat#post-2177166 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 04:55:14 +0000 Carla 2177166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Squee!

Thanks JenniNZ for the inspiration.&nbsp; I did have competition as Jemima Bond also turned up plus a few other male Bonds as well.&nbsp; Jon is a villain (Le Chiffre)&nbsp; The photo of both of us is toward the end of the night......</p> <p>The other photos are WIW from work this week.</p> <p>The weather has changed here and suddenly it is cooler and feels like autumn.&nbsp; Hence the long sleeves!</p> <p>The brown pants have a loose zip, and looking at the photo, I am not sure if they are worth persevering with.&nbsp; I bought them consignment, have spent money getting them hemmed,&nbsp; but I don't think they are fabulous on me,&nbsp; I want them to be, and I do think they are better in person than in a photo.</p> <p>Keep or pass on the brown trousers?</p> <p>Thanks for looking (just adding pics now) </p>
