You look great in these colors! Thanks for the tip about lands end shoes. They sound nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-long-week#post-1050578 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 14:18:29 +0000 Day Vies 1050578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah- I was pretty happy that they offered wide widths too. Not the heels unfortunately but the boots are very comfy that I tried on last night and they're wide width. </p> <p>dlb1960- I was constantly admonished by my Mom when I was little to sit up straight and stand up straight. I guess it paid off. I was also teased as a tween for my posture (being so straight) but it's funny when you have strong-willed parents what <i>they </i>say means more to you than what your "so-called" friends say. I also truly believed what my parents told me that they had eyes in the back of their heads and they had friends I didn't know about reporting to them on my activities. Yep, I was VERY gullible, but fear of being told on kept me on the straight and narrow.&nbsp; </p> <p>Jeanie - I always wanted to model especially when I was a teen. My mom wouldn't let me because the agency insisted that I loose 20 lbs. Mom did not think there would be much of me left if I did that :-). But I realized just now that in some ways I did become a model. I model my own clothes on my own blog. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-long-week#post-1050558 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 13:28:50 +0000 Sarah A 1050558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is stunning DayVies. I love the colors and can just imagine the bright yellow bag with it. Now I will be haeding off to Lands Ends for the shoe hunt. Thanks for the tip </p> <p>ETA: now 4 pairs of shoes in my Lands end basket.... in wide widths and real leather! Yippee! :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-long-week#post-1050547 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 12:41:17 +0000 unfrumped 1050547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF! The pearls with the more casual sporty shirt are just inspired. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-long-week#post-1050498 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 09:58:57 +0000 Neel 1050498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way you can mix colors! &nbsp;You look absolutely gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-long-week#post-1050494 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 09:45:19 +0000 dlb1960 1050494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As always, looking beautiful!

Another fantastic outfit!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-long-week#post-1050381 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 03:07:57 +0000 Day Vies 1050381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - I agree it does. There is no way you could have know it was not chambray the dots are that small. </p> <p>Firecracker -&nbsp; Agreed, better late than never. I would never have guessed yours were taken after work at all. I adore that outfit -- it's a perfect blend of a little boho and a lot of modern classic. I think it's good inspiration for me when I'd like to do something a little bohemian. </p> <p>Adelfa - Ah the pearls. I know I would have worn this outfit just the same without them but adding them throws in a sense of everyday luxury and plays off the white polka dots in the shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-long-week#post-1050371 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 03:00:00 +0000 Suz 1050371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah! Okay - from a distance it reads chambray/grey, and that makes sense. Well, I think I just love your outfit even more because now I can imagine how great it looks close up!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-long-week#post-1050370 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 02:59:25 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1050370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you do look fab, and I can imagine how great the yellow tote looked. I took my WIW this evening after work, too--better then than never, right??</p> <p>Congratulations on finishing a long week! Hope you have a great weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-long-week#post-1050369 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 02:58:37 +0000 Day Vies 1050369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz -- the shirt is navy with a tiny all over white polka dot pattern. Ironically I just realized it's also Lands End. Clearly I'm their unpaid poster child today </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-long-week#post-1050363 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 02:50:27 +0000 deb 1050363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute! Enjoy your weekend and relax. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-long-week#post-1050362 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 02:49:27 +0000 Suz 1050362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful is absolutely the right word. I just love how the orange plays against the chambray (I think it is? Or maybe light grey - on my laptop) and the pearls light up your lovely face. You may not have felt fresh but you still looked it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the shoe finds, too. They look terrific! Hope you have a relaxing weekend.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-long-week#post-1050340 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 02:28:32 +0000 Adelfa 1050340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, a tough week and you still manage to take a WIW shot when you get home on Friday night! &nbsp;I love this outfit and love the pearls. And look at you with the yellow background and the red bordered rug. Great outfit, great pic. You are beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-long-week#post-1050314 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 02:05:46 +0000 Day Vies 1050314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Working full time for the first time in 5 years takes some getting used<br /> to. It's not the work or the time I spend working it's the extra time I<br /> have to build into my day for the commute! Sadly I work a 20-minute<br /> drive from my home. However, on public transportation that same commute<br /> is 50 minutes. Then of course I have to get up early enough to not be<br /> rushed -- in my younger days I'd be out the door in one hour flat. I<br /> also didn't eat breakfast, I didn't wear as much make up (eyeliner and<br /> lipstick only), and I think I moved faster! :-)</p> <p>So I put this outfit together last night under a time crunch because I have my final LLM course on Thursday nights. I remembered wearing these pieces together before. I did not however load up the pearls that time. Can I just say I loved this outfit? It's perfectly me, and I felt very much all of myself wearing it. I got the passersby double-take in this outfit, and people on the street<br /> seemed to like it. I forgot to include my yellow tote in the pictures which picks up the yellow in the belt, but I think you all get the idea. </p> <p>Apologies in advance as I don't look as fresh as I did this morning. This was taken after work, and after fighting traffic to grab my box of goodies (shoes and a pair of boots) from UPS. Can I just make a PSA and say that some of the highest quality well-made shoes I own are Lands End. They are quite comfortable (not crocs comfy, comfy for heels kind of comfy). They have cushioned leather insoles and leather soles. Lands End happened to be having a sale earlier this week 40% off all shoes so I picked up <a href="http://www.landsend.com/products/womens-ashby-essential-high-heel-shoes/id_243113" rel="nofollow">this pair</a> in sweet potato and patent gray and these are <a href="http://www.landsend.com/products/womens-suede-chalet-tall-boots/id_258687?sku_0=::LTO" rel="nofollow">the boots</a>. I have totally digressed but as I said in the beginning this has been a long week. </p> <p>OK I'm rambling so I'll wrap it up now. Happy Friday! </p>
