I really like the long cardigan look. It works for my climate and provides an extra layer of armor at work! I’ve found the lighter cardigans work the best. My favorites are the inexpensive ones I’ve picked up at TJmaxx.</p> <p>@rachy: Thank you!</p> <p>@Adriana: Thank you. I was least confident about the moto. Something about that style makes me feel like a poser but I figure the more I wear it, the more I’ll feel like I own it. I’m more cowboy than urban, I suppose. </p> <p>@jussie: Thank you. I’m definitely not a dress queen but I’m glad that these work.</p> <p>@ChristelJ: Thank you. Glad there are BF jeans lovers out there still. They are the most comfortable. I wish I could find a duplicate for my old Gap ones. The scarf/shawl is a handknit--thank you for noticing. It can be worn with the point in the back or on the side--it’s great for in the office because the way it’s knit (in the round) makes it stay in place. </p> <p>@Sal: Thank you! Always nice to hear that I look appropriate for my environment. I’m happy that it comes across as simple and rugged. I like that!</p> <p>@JAileen: Haha! Thanks. I love to hear that it looks like me. It makes me feel like I have an identifiable style :)</p> <p>@Tex: Thank you! </p> <p>@Bj111: Thanks, that is so nice to hear especially since I aspire to dress like you someday! I’d definitely have to find a new field. </p> <p>@Angie: Thank you SO much--that’s such a nice compliment. You have helped me hone my style for sure!</p> <p>@joy: Thank you. I hope your appliances are more reliable than mine. I’ve been so disappointed with Kitchen Aid. I do love the tile though. </p> <p>@Laura: Thank you. I couldn’t resist the leopard collar. It makes me feel sort of glamorous. I think Prince would approve. </p> <p>@Shevia: Thank you. I’m growing my hair out for a wedding in May. I’ve been experimenting with beachy waves and giving it a break from the flat iron. Glad it looks somewhat intentional. </p> <p>@Brooklyn: Thank you. I think earthy colors go more with my personality but every once in awhile it’s fun to mix it up. As a mood dresser, I like to have options. </p> <p>@jessikams: Haha! I’ve scaled a few ladders in a skirt and I’ve since learned my lesson. I used to keep boots and jeans in the car but now I just dress for it. The exceptions are the days I know I’m not going anywhere. </p> <p>@Jane: Thank you. I love elegantly rugged!</p> <p>@lyn67: That’s so nice of you, lyn! Thank you. I love hearing that it looks “Kelly.” I like blending in but it’s nice to know there’s something that gives it a little twist that makes it me! So, thank you for that!</p> <p>@viva: Thank you! I’ve struggled with descriptors and finally settled on rugged polish or elegant tomboy (thanks to Angie.) I get a lot of “cowgirl” at work from coworkers--which always cracks me up. I’d never guess you were an emotional dresser because you always look so immaculate and have such an identifiable style! (I think lots of us are emotional buyers.)</p> <p>@April: Aww, thanks so much!</p> <p>@Katerina: Thank you. That’s a high compliment from someone as stylish as you!</p> <p>@cardiff girl: haha! Thanks. My boots are my pride and joy. I’m happy with everything and make sure they all get their turns!</p> <p>@smittie: Thank you. I was so done with plaid last year that I gave it all away but something about the drape and silhouette of that dress style lured me in. (I think I’m just done with flannel.) Haha--yes, standing out is scary. I’m so excited about your OTKs. Do we get to see them in action? Those are sweeeet, BTW!</p> <p>@Kate: Thank you!</p> <p>@Laurie: Thank you! That’s so nice of you to say but as for bodycon--haha, that ship has sailed! MDAL. </p> <p>@bijou: I had a feeling you might be an emotional dresser. You have such a varied style yet everything you wear looks like you. You have such a great range! Thank you for the very kind compliments!</p> <p>@Aquamarine: Thank you!</p> <p>@RobinF: Haha. Right? I knew someone could relate. It’s all in my head, I know, but...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2012097 Thu, 14 Mar 2019 13:12:22 +0000 RobinF 2012097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these! You do the dress with boots look perfectly but I like the jeans too. I work with all men and know what you mean about no body-con looks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2012090 Thu, 14 Mar 2019 12:53:30 +0000 Aquamarine 2012090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know what works for you and makes you look perfectly fab for your environment...I love each outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2012089 Thu, 14 Mar 2019 12:51:24 +0000 Bijou 2012089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am on team emotional dresser too - I never really know what I will feel like wearing until I am getting dressed.<br />I love your style and am envious of how gorgeous earth tones look on you and your stunning boot collection. You always look beautiful and this week was no exception. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2012070 Thu, 14 Mar 2019 11:07:44 +0000 Laurie 2012070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking adorable, as ever, Kel!&nbsp; You have hit the perfect style note for your work and lifestyle, I think.&nbsp; You could pull off body con all day long, but as you describe your company and your daily activity, you have nailed the combination of comfort and style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011962 Wed, 13 Mar 2019 20:37:52 +0000 Kate 2011962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style, Kelly, and I would wear any of these. Your hair looks fab, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011930 Wed, 13 Mar 2019 18:39:05 +0000 smittie 2011930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so hard to pick favourites, but I'm going with the plaid drapey dress (such a perfect look on you!), the outfit with the rust/coral (?) cardigan, and the outfit with the toffee jacket with the big buttons. They all have an earthiness to them. You look comfortable, and I can understand why you would not want to wear body con at the office -- you'll stand out!</p> <p>I was so enamoured with your Fryes that I decided to get a pair of my own. OTKs baby! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011917 Wed, 13 Mar 2019 17:33:53 +0000 Cardiff girl 2011917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am envious of your boot collection.Great job with the outfits ,perfect for your lifestyle but still stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011883 Wed, 13 Mar 2019 14:16:59 +0000 Katerina 2011883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style, Kelly, you are very chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011877 Wed, 13 Mar 2019 13:55:58 +0000 April 2011877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never not loved one of your outfits posts, KG.&nbsp; So glad you chimed in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011861 Wed, 13 Mar 2019 11:41:26 +0000 viva 2011861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kelly,</p> <p>I love all these looks but especially 6 and 9: these are just perfect, to me. What style descriptors do you use for yourself? I was trying to think how I would describe your style as I was looking at your pics, and then I saw Angie's comment about "elegantly rugged" which just hit it on the nose. I love how you are earthy and polished at the same time.&nbsp; </p> <p>I'm an emotional dresser too, and an emotional buyer. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011860 Wed, 13 Mar 2019 11:40:35 +0000 lyn67 2011860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a feast to see your outfits all together casual and smart -and I can really see them to be your own "Kelly" ones!:-) Your&nbsp; boots, the poncho scarf, the denim and the plaid dresses are some gorgeous items styled in a Kelly and creative way for your challenging work and I'll even give a k2k for the outfit with the lace up boots and moto in the nr 3 on right!:-))) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011818 Wed, 13 Mar 2019 07:21:23 +0000 Jane 2011818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfits are super. As Angie says, elegantly rugged! It’s the colours that jump out at me, they look perfect with your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011812 Wed, 13 Mar 2019 06:52:33 +0000 Jessikams 2011812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good. I think your instincts are right when it comes to being prepared to go out in the field unexpectedly. In my early days as an architect, I would sometimes wear skirt suits to work for important meetings—- only to find myself climbing ladders later in the day on a construction site. I learned to keep slacks and OSHA-approved boots at the office— but even better if you can plan a functional outfit for the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011793 Wed, 13 Mar 2019 03:24:13 +0000 Brooklyn 2011793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your style is fabulous! And you seem to be a person who can wear both earthy colours and cool dark shades equally well. I am envious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011783 Wed, 13 Mar 2019 02:46:41 +0000 Jaime 2011783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic outfits and your hair looks great too. You mix earthy and other neutrals beautifully. Perfect for your lifestyle and fabulous too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011759 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 23:58:15 +0000 Laura 2011759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, you look so pulled together always and ready for whatever the day brings! My favorite is the black knit coat with the leopard collar, paired with the striped shirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011750 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 23:02:24 +0000 Anonymous 2011750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Karen and Angie said. You dress just right for your days and have great style. What I can see of your kitchen looks just like mine...the appliances and tile are probably the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011736 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 21:30:55 +0000 Angie 2011736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Kelly,</b> you have KILLER style, and I can't think of a more stylish way to dress than how you do for your line of work. Practical, elegantly rugged, and very polished. Inspiring and perfect </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011727 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 20:54:19 +0000 bj1111 2011727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>always admired your style...now it makes even more sense to have the work context.</p> <p>also, i'm not sure why i thought you were a nurse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011726 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 20:52:41 +0000 texstyle 2011726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style kellygirl&nbsp; - perfectly you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011722 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 20:44:23 +0000 JAileen 2011722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, these are definitely you. I really like the one with the jacket in 2, and especially your cowgirl boots in the last picture, but they’re all good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011706 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 20:09:32 +0000 Sal 2011706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks and I think perfect for your environment.&nbsp; I love the 1st and th 6th the most but really they all look good.</p> <p>I see simplicity, muted colour palette, great footwear, a ruggedness with interesting textures and very effective layering (a skill I could learn). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011702 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 20:00:51 +0000 ChristelJ 2011702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your style! I really relate to the jeans outfits on days 1 and 2. Love how easily chic you look in those great boots and cardigans with both jeans and dresses. About photo 1, is that a hand-knit scarf or shawl I see? Gorgeous. You look amazing in all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011698 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 19:50:56 +0000 jussie 2011698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow some great looks here. I love you in the plaid dress, the black dress and the denim dress. Ok you are the dress, cardi and tall boot queen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011657 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 17:05:56 +0000 Adriana 2011657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great looks. I am another member of the no-fuss looks. You have a few things here that speak to me especially. Your moto's, the pencil skirt with the fabulous boots, plaid dress. Your work formula is just right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011654 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 16:59:47 +0000 rachylou 2011654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

It’s funny because when you post WIWs, I feel like they’re something that I could easily wear too. We have sister styles, for sure! For the record, I am allergic to fussy. Lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-to-angies-party#post-2011642 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 16:00:54 +0000 karen13 2011642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all gorgeous, Kelly. You look polished, professional and feminine without being remotely fussy. That plaid dress is a big fave for me and I love the coral color on you. </p>
