In the best way.&nbsp;<br />In terms of the career day, I think if you switched out your sweater for a blazer, you would probably be fine. I also&nbsp;like Isabel's comment about dressing like you would at work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-white-and-blue-and-wtw-to-career-day#post-1446940 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 02:46:45 +0000 Anonymous 1446940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie on everything!<br />You're kind of like a messenger from&nbsp;the Land Ahead for these kids and I think you'd be doing them a favor if you dressed pretty much the way you'd dress to go to work. You can raise the outfit volume a little just the way I imagine you would if you were speaking to a group of your fellow employed but they're going to absorbing not just what you say but what they see.<br />I'm guessing from your photos that you're pretty good at poised professional, show them how it's done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-white-and-blue-and-wtw-to-career-day#post-1446927 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 02:35:32 +0000 Jaime 1446927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit is beautiful! Does your 16 year old go to the same or similar school? That is who I would ask! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-white-and-blue-and-wtw-to-career-day#post-1446925 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 02:30:09 +0000 Suz 1446925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfit on you, and what a great backdrop with the snow. The light blue is lovely with your hair.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think you could go either way with the careers day. First, think about&nbsp;how teachers dress at the school. It might be good to go with a version of their "uniform."&nbsp;&nbsp;(Different schools have very different dress cultures. At my daughter's school, smart casual would be a good compromise -- i.e. not jeans, but not a super dressy outfit.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-white-and-blue-and-wtw-to-career-day#post-1446923 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 02:27:07 +0000 Classically Casual 1446923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit is so fresh and pretty in the snow! I don't have any actionable advice for Career Day. However, many decades later, I still remember the presentation I attended....from an FBI agent:). So, no pressure, but perhaps focus on what a helpful event this may be for some of the attendees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-white-and-blue-and-wtw-to-career-day#post-1446889 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 01:26:36 +0000 Angie 1446889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The light blue <b>makes</b> the outfit. You look great. A fresh and pretty palette, especially in the dead of Winter.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'll be interested to hear what the others have to say, but I would guess that looking more professional is probably a good idea when you present&nbsp;to the teens at school. That way you look less like them, and more like an authority figure.&nbsp;</p> <p>SO approve of that clip. The Office is right up there with Seinfeld in my book. Best comedies of all time.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-white-and-blue-and-wtw-to-career-day#post-1446805 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 22:51:37 +0000 Laurie 1446805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Been on a photo and posting hiatus due to work travel and company changes. &nbsp;Having some challenges&nbsp;wrapping my head around being part of a company that has 250,000 employees, after being one of 150 for the past 10 years. &nbsp;Trying to remain open and positive. &nbsp;There are definitely interesting aspects to the event.</p> <p>This outfit is most inspired by Angie's recent Casual &nbsp;Light&nbsp;Grey and White ensemble. &nbsp;I picked up this scarf at Gap as I have very little light blue. I love it! &nbsp;I was set for more grey than taupe this morning, but it kind of evolved into this. &nbsp; It was way (way way) too cold to make adjustments to the camera, I just got out there and shot for 10 minutes straight. &nbsp;Would have adjusted my shutter to a slightly faster speed if I'd stopped to take a look, these are a little washed; the color could have popped even more.</p> <p>Wearing:<br />Pants: Chicos<br />Coats : White/ Lucy; Grey/ Topshop<br />Sweater, purse and denim shirt: BR<br />Boots: Clarks<br />Scarf: Gap</p> <p>I need some advice: &nbsp;Friday I am speaking to 5 classes of high school students as part of Career Day. &nbsp;I will be talking about high tech, software sales and the importance of STEM education. &nbsp;What should I wear? &nbsp;Something like today's outfit, approachable to the kids? &nbsp;Or something more professional that I might wear to a meeting as a software salesperson? &nbsp;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />Also, any advice about facing down 16-18 year olds and keeping them interested would be great. &nbsp;I'm fairly terrified!&nbsp; I plan to open with t<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUnsNU4JRAA">his clip from The Office</a>, approved by my 16 year old. &nbsp; All of the other sales, or high-tech&nbsp;related TV or movie&nbsp;clips I could think of (Glengarry &nbsp;Glen Ross, Silicon Valley) are full of profanity!</p> <p>Hope everyone is doing as great as you are looking!</p> <p> </p>
