Never mind that I usually can't bear such a high jewel neckline, nor that turtlenecks aren't recommended for busty ITs. This is all in grey and black, so I just look bundled up. Your gear OTOH looks like you mean business. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gearish#post-1108961 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 22:48:30 +0000 Caro in Oz 1108961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great - I love those colours on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gearish#post-1108916 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 21:33:18 +0000 E 1108916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that you used to figure skate! In my head you're doing an Olympic-level routine right now. And you definitely still look appropriate! The dark colours keep them from looking too sporty.</p> <p>How interesting re: the fit too. Trousers seem to be the bane of everyone's existence when it comes to finding pairs that actually fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gearish#post-1108854 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 20:31:30 +0000 Debra 1108854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great and the blues and beret.......you look fabulous, love it all,stay warm </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gearish#post-1108815 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 19:36:38 +0000 Anonymous 1108815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair similar too, and they come out in similar circumstances You look lovely in the purples and blues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gearish#post-1108812 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 19:33:57 +0000 Suz 1108812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in the blue. And I hear you about the skating pants! I have a pair that are fleece inside and similar and I think they look pretty good if I do say so. Certainly for the kind of work that you are doing. You need to be dressed for what your activities are, and in this case, that includes the cold.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gearish#post-1108809 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 19:32:22 +0000 Anonymous 1108809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I decided this last week that I could care less what I wear when it is cold outside. </p> <p>I had to giggle though...it was below zero all week with windchill in the -25 range. The wind kills me!</p> <p>You look cozy and I love love love the hat. I just saw some fleece pants like that at Eddie Bauer but I didn't try them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gearish#post-1108754 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 18:29:35 +0000 MuseumGal 1108754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I debated with myself about whether or not to post this casual outfit, but I decided to go ahead because 1) I find it really really helpful when people post every day casual get ups, and 2) I learned some interesting things wearing this outfit.</p> <p>It is cold cold cold (in the low 20sF, which I know is balmy to those of you further north, but for this California girl in Oklahoma, it is super duper cold), and the museum where I work is always frigid, and I knew neither my jeans nor my new pants were up to the challenge, so ... these are my figure skating trousers - fleece on the inside, zip ankles, slash pockets at the hips.&nbsp; And I'm wearing my lt blue warm-up fleece under a navy floral fleece jacket.&nbsp; Snakeskin print Docs on my feet and a blue beret complete the look.&nbsp; Yes I am wearing all of this inside the museum, plus fingerless gloves.&nbsp; I wasn't kidding about it being frigid in here.&nbsp; </p> <p>Here's what I learned:&nbsp; I'm glad I haven't purged my skating clothing (I was a fairly serious ice skater/dancer for several years, but a broken wrist and then grad school got in the way) because it is useful stuff, and also, <i>these are the best fitting, most flattering pants I own</i>.&nbsp; Plus they are incredibly comfortable.&nbsp; I'm going to take measurements of these pants tonight and see about making some alterations in my "real" clothes.&nbsp; </p> <p>Despite the fact that I'm basically wearing sporting gear, I think (I hope) this is appropriate for my very casual (and cold) workplace.&nbsp; Anybody else resort to gear to get through the north american cold snap? </p>
