Sarah, I think that's the nicest compliment I have ever gotten. *blushes* </p> <p>Laura, LOL no I am the only one who got taken down by the Segway! I took a tumble after having trouble navigating down a long slope, but I was the only one who even came close to having trouble on it, and the instructor was so astonished that it happened. I guess it's kind of rare for people to fall off -- but I am nothing if not an over-achiever!

Thanks for inspiring me today. I especially love both Monday outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-july-20-25-work-and-casual#post-83027 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 15:45:53 +0000 Laura 83027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, I am dying over the photo of you riding the Segway! Did you take down any unsuspecting tourists as you careened around the city? You must tell all ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-july-20-25-work-and-casual#post-82984 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 12:26:10 +0000 greenglove 82984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great posts!!

I love your rosy cheeks. They match your fun persona :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-july-20-25-work-and-casual#post-82237 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 15:24:01 +0000 Kristen 82237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, you should get the yellow. I love mine. No one can resist yellow!</p> <p>Sihaya, the Segway was AMAZING fun. I've never been on one before, but it was a great way to explore Chicago's lakefront. I did actually take a spill off it, but I was the only one and it was my own clumsy fault. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-july-20-25-work-and-casual#post-82182 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 04:37:21 +0000 Sihaya 82182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great week, and I love your poses and sense of humor. Do you like the Segway? I've always wondered what that feels like. My fav is the red top with pencil skirt and belt - killer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-july-20-25-work-and-casual#post-82158 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 03:12:52 +0000 Ana 82158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, sometimes stuff falls off the front page before I can see it. :)</p> <p>I really like the bright rose color. I can't decide between the yellow color and the dark slate. The slate would probably be more versatile, but I'll probably end up with the yellow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-july-20-25-work-and-casual#post-82150 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 02:39:12 +0000 Kristen 82150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Chris. I do love that MK top and I didn't want to give it up. It was my first size small, too. I was hoping the casual outfits worked; it's so hard to judge when you are surrounded by so much uber-casual/gear.</p> <p>Ana, I did see the link, thank you! I replied there too, but I actually have a similar top from ATL in yellow already. I was looking at the rose instead. Hmmm... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-july-20-25-work-and-casual#post-82139 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 02:24:42 +0000 Ana 82139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great week, Kristen! I especially like Monday night's outfit and Wednesday's outfit. :D</p> <p>Did you see the link to the blouse I posted on your other thread? I think it was your "Dress your style" thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-july-20-25-work-and-casual#post-82110 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 01:46:44 +0000 Chris 82110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not looking the least bit dowdy! Fab as usual in every pic. </p> <p>I like that you belted the MK top - it's a great color and I know the fabric of those tops is so soft and comfy that it would be hard to give up. </p> <p>Your casual outfits are perfect - not gear, not too dressy. Perfect for the occasions and put together as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-july-20-25-work-and-casual#post-82107 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 01:32:06 +0000 Kristen 82107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Flickr set is here for fast viewing:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/sets/72157621753357216/detail/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....16/detail/</a></p> <p>Monday: I finally wore the slate blue swinging cardigan from BR Outlet, and paired withe a rose-patterned new scarf from J Crew Outlet. I wish I'd taken a better picture because it looked much less dowdy than this.<br /> Hubby then took me out to dinner, so I got to use my new ATL wicker clutch with my brown banded sweater and denim skirt.<br /> <a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2009/07/monday-work-and-play.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....-play.html</a></p> <p>Tuesday: the teal-and-purple dress I've worn a million times, but this time I finally got to lose the cardigan. Yay for warm weather at last!<br /> <a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2009/07/tuesday-remix-dress.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....dress.html</a></p> <p>Wednesday; I hadn't worn this MK red top in a while, mainly because it's gotten a little too big, but I found belting it with a wide belt and pairing with my short ATL pencil skirt gave it new life. I've realized wearing flats with shorter skirts makes them wearable for work; a short skirt and my skyhigh heels doesn't work as well at the Nun Hospital. :)<br /> <a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2009/07/wednesday-remix-my-first-size-small.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....small.html</a></p> <p>Thursday: Gear was the order of the day while kayaking, then I wore the Dress My Style Challenge outfit out to dinner.<br /> <a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2009/07/wednesday-remix-my-first-size-small.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....small.html</a></p> <p>(Speaking of which, I did put together a few more outfits for Dress Your Style, this time with jeans. I will post those separately.)</p> <p>Friday and Saturday: With my visiting 14-year-old niece, I went to an amusement park on Friday, and then downtown for a Segway tour on Saturday. Both were SO MUCH FUN, although I got a little banged up on my adventures. I steered away from gear, and wore cute cotton tops, bermuda shorts, and my most comfortable all-day sandals. I looked and felt about 1000000x dressier than most of the other people at the amusement park and downtown (although the downtown dressers were somewhat better). That capri faux-pas photo essay from the Trib was not exaggerating about the tragedy of the outfits around here!<br /> <a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2009/07/friday-saturday-casual-athletic-outfits.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....tfits.html</a></p> <p>That said, I love my city, and I loved exploring it on the Segway. If you are interested, here's my Flickr set of the day. That's my newly-skinny Hubby and visiting niece in the shots with me. :)<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/sets/72157621843314822/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....843314822/</a> </p>
