The skirt is lovely too. I also love brocade and lace. Your style reminds me of designer Carolina Herrera...classic, romantic, and impeccably dressed regardless of the setting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2086371 Thu, 19 Dec 2019 11:22:07 +0000 Bijou 2086371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jussie - wishing you a wonderful Christmas too, enjoy the holidays.

Have a lovely Christmas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2086340 Thu, 19 Dec 2019 04:45:32 +0000 Bijou 2086340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mirjana - thank you, I always love to have your advice and feedback. You are a fantastic fashionista who always gets the balance right.</p> <p>Aquamarine - I find the categories hard to define too. Thank you - elegant and pretty is high praise.</p> <p>Ummlila - I don't know why I hesitated on getting this blouse. Now I have it, I love it!</p> <p>Suntiger - so fun that you picked the TR, I thought I was classic, but maybe that was wishful thinking!</p> <p>Anchie - you always look gorgeous so you don't need the romantic element.</p> <p>Christina - it is fun to have different looks to play with.</p> <p>Sal - I think you have identified why I was a bit off about 'Romantic' - I don't really want to be seen as soft because that can translate to 'a pushover'. However, I probably just need to own it like how I have stopped straightening my hair.</p> <p>MsMary - you rule the office bombshell look!</p> <p>Suz - thanks, it is fun to evolve my style.</p> <p>Angie - so lovely to have you back. Suz always says it right.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2086162 Wed, 18 Dec 2019 16:19:25 +0000 Angie 2086162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautifully pretty and playful - as always. And what<b> Suz</b> said.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085545 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 22:14:40 +0000 Suz 2085545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful, whatever Kibbe you are! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I think your wavy, movie star hair always gives a bit of a romantic twist to your look, no matter what. This lovely blouse is of course even more romantic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085498 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 19:57:25 +0000 MsMary 2085498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is perfect! You look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085489 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 19:20:29 +0000 Sal 2085489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful Bijou- you have a flair for pretty but strong looks that is very clever and unique. </p> <p>I can sympathise on the work front - we are in the same position. It is so busy at the end of the year in the Southern Hemisphere isn’t it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085381 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 15:06:41 +0000 Christina F. 2085381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can certainly wear romantic if you choose to! This is really lovely on you. It's just another type of look for your arsenal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085357 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 14:29:28 +0000 anchie 2085357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great, fun, romantic look that suits you perfectly. Maybe there is something true about Kibbe - I would not be able to wear this look regardless of how much I like it. But I am far from romantic- I got dramatic classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085351 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 14:23:23 +0000 Anonymous 2085351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! I guessed that you were a TR too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085350 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 14:21:29 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2085350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this blouse&nbsp; -- perfect for the day to night dressing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085268 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 12:22:07 +0000 Aquamarine 2085268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not smart enough to minutely classify your style but you always look elegant and pretty to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085266 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 12:21:20 +0000 Mirjana 2085266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing Bijou, romantic, really wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085264 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 12:18:10 +0000 Bijou 2085264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia - I bought the skirt on a large discount, but it is proving to be so versatile as I wear it in winter with a black knit and now in summer with white tops. I seem to have a thing for brocade and lace at the moment.</p> <p>Mainlady - this top would be cool with jeans, I will have to give it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085233 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 10:17:04 +0000 Mainelady 2085233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely lovely! The blouse is romantic and flattering. It is fab with your brocade skirt and I am thinking it would be just as fab with a pair of jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085183 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 02:37:44 +0000 Jaime 2085183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whatever it is typology wise, this look suits you beautifully and you look beautiful in it. I like how the clean lines of the skirt balance the lace top, but the brocade makes it equally interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085167 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 23:55:35 +0000 Bijou 2085167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slim cat - the blouse is so pretty. I find white shirts can look severe and masculine on me, so this is one white shirt that is definitely different.</p> <p>Rachy - I love the softness of the lace on this top.</p> <p>JanniNZ - the kibbe quiz I took seemed to focus predominantly on the physical and since I am small statured and a small waist and bigger hips these attributes put me into that bucket. You have no idea how much I wanted to click on the long limbed part of the questionnaire! I still prefer the DYOT and dressing in what makes you feel fab is the best solution to style - these formulas are a guide only.</p> <p>Cardiff Girl - it felt nice and festive to wear.</p> <p>Brooklyn - I don't really understand it either. I am much happier just dressing in what I like. YOU always look amazing and have enviable style - I think you can forget about Kibbe.</p> <p>Nemosmom - thank you - you are so kind.</p> <p>Toronto Girl - I like the pencil skirt with this blouse as it keeps it looking professional for work.</p> <p>KKards - yes, this weather is tough going - especially trying to exercise. I was putting ice packs on my body between breaks in my training sessions.</p> <p>Kellygirl - it is funny, I sort of hesitated to buy this blouse and now I have it, I absolutely love it and find that I can wear it more than I expected. I am often a bit hit and miss with what will work out being worn regularly.</p> <p>Carla - that is interesting to know about the new trends. These types of tops, I will be an early adopter if they are trending, but that is only because it is consistent with my style rather than me being fashion forward.</p> <p>Karen - so glad you think it still looked professional.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085149 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 21:48:40 +0000 karen13 2085149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing! Romantic, feminine, yet not too frilly. Such an elegant, pretty and still perfectly professional look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085145 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 21:31:06 +0000 Carla 2085145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou, I think you are ahead of the curve with that blouse. I’m seeing similar from the 2020 S/S runway shows and in some of the early trend reports. The style suits you, and I totally get romantic dramatic. </p> <p>Sorry about all the work deadlines. Isn’t that always the way? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085101 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 17:40:05 +0000 kellygirl 2085101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That blouse is a showstopper! It look so pretty with the printed pencil skirt. Brilliant warm weather festive look--I wonder if it's easier to find sleeved warm weather blouses where the seasons are reversed? Anyway, you look spectacular as always!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085081 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 15:47:31 +0000 kkards 2085081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i can't imagine looking festive in those temperatures, in fact, i can barely think about wearing anything except a light cotton dress and sandals or a bathsuit. but you've managed to look cool, elegant and put together. Lovely </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085073 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 15:28:39 +0000 Helena 2085073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is the perfect combination of a soft romantic blouse, with a more structured (dare I say dramatic?) skirt. Maybe dramatic romantic is your style (or at least am element thereof) regardless of Kibbe? YLF Bijou! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085069 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 15:03:09 +0000 nemosmom 2085069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085027 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 11:43:52 +0000 Brooklyn 2085027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, your post just made me do the test and it was a complete failure for me! I really don’t understand Kibbe.</p> <p>Whatever you came out as, you look beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085016 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 09:52:42 +0000 Cardiff girl 2085016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty and definitely romantic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085010 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 08:16:44 +0000 Jenni NZ 2085010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s very beautiful, like so many of your clothes/outfits! And like you! That’s interesting about your Kibbe quiz. It’s actually Theatrical Romantic not Dramatic Romantic, but I fully understand how you mixed those up as I wrote in that thread myself that the *words* Dramatic and Theatrical mean much the same thing to me! But not in Kibbe’s terminology they don’t. Dramatic is much more “Yang” and TR much more “Yin”, in his system.<br /> I also got squarely between Theatrical Romantic and Romantic, and I wouldn’t say your and my styles have *that* much in common?- an overlap of colour maybe, but mine is much more casual and you’ll never find me in a well cut and structured suit! Your lovely outfit here though, I could possibly wear similar and enjoy. Hope you had fun x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085008 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 07:57:21 +0000 rachylou 2085008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So so pretty!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-work-dressing---from-desk-to-dinner#post-2085007 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 07:56:57 +0000 slim cat 2085007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks very pretty and .. "romantic" . Your style feels like a classic with a softer, romantic undertones - sweet and precious. Lovely blouse - great find! </p>
