I love #2. Also, I think in person, a silk blouse makes a much bigger impression than in a picture. People see IT and not the jeans, because it's closer to your face. For an academic environment, I don't see why you can't do this if it feels right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-taking-my-bf-to-work-what-about-you#post-715412 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 02:14:27 +0000 Makrame 715412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's interesting to see how different the work environment are for all of us. </p> <p>Diana, I definitely think you can keep your fun style as you move along the career path.</p> <p>Texstyle, I added pictures to the original post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-taking-my-bf-to-work-what-about-you#post-713465 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 13:57:20 +0000 texstyle 713465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think in a casual environment they can be fine. And the comfort level is great. Would love to see a photo of your outfit... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-taking-my-bf-to-work-what-about-you#post-713442 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 13:38:12 +0000 ramya 713442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want BFs :(... They aren't around here nor in India </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-taking-my-bf-to-work-what-about-you#post-713437 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 13:30:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 713437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore mine on casual Friday to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-taking-my-bf-to-work-what-about-you#post-713415 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 12:52:13 +0000 Diana 713415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear mine to work but I am a post-doc. =P</p> <p>I am happy to hear that you are wearing them though! Gives me hope that I do not have to revamp my entire wardrobe when I get a grown-up job like yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-taking-my-bf-to-work-what-about-you#post-713394 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 12:21:18 +0000 Preppy Pear 713394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely could and I think that the overall look is the deciding factor (unless you work in a formal environment). The way you've described it it sounds great! </p> <p>I tend not to have very dressy accessories, shoes, or shirts, so I think my overall look with BFs would be a little too causal for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-taking-my-bf-to-work-what-about-you#post-713380 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 12:00:47 +0000 Anonymous 713380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I wear mine to work. I probably won't wear them on days I teach, but other days, for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-taking-my-bf-to-work-what-about-you#post-713342 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 09:49:00 +0000 Anonymous 713342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They would not be appropriate for me to wear to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-taking-my-bf-to-work-what-about-you#post-713319 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 07:29:48 +0000 Makrame 713319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So after posting a question here about whether it was appropriate to wear boyfriend jeans to work and getting mixed reactions, I just started wearing them to work anyway. :)</p> <p>They are comfortable and DH thought they were perfectly OK for regular lab/office days (no teaching, no meetings).</p> <p>I am wearing them with silk shirts (tucked or untucked) and Cole Haan wedges so the overall look is slightly dressed up but comfortable.</p> <p>How about you? Anyone else has moved BF jeans out of the realm of weekend/on-the-go wear?</p> <p>Edited to add photos of two recent work outfits (sorry for the blurry picture in #1). Not super-exciting or edgy but very comfortable. </p>
