So well done, lyn67. Every single outfit works. So crisp, elegant, and on trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-business-casuals-2015#post-1493957 Wed, 20 May 2015 10:26:16 +0000 lyn67 1493957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apologies for yesterday's post and run, life happens all the time, but you made my day today, for sure-and wow, never got 2xK2K ratings from <b>Angie</b> in one post, before:-)). <br />&nbsp;<br /><b>Krish: </b>You&nbsp;have good eyes, thank you!&nbsp;I do have apple tendencies, not a shapely back and getting older... So the "longer lightweight, straight shirt layered under a cropped crisp jacket" is practically the only way I felt conscious enough making the dreaded pants look work for the office.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>CocoC:</b> I didn't either. It all started with a well known look of Deb's from Oz, in fact I bought the peep toe ankle booties totally inspired by her looks! Only, they don't really work for me with black pants (dunno why?she's also blonde!) so have been forced to try something else, you get the idea:-)</p> <p><b>Sharon, Elizabeth, dakotacheryl, MG, Staysfit, Angie jackiec, kkards, unpfrumped and all: </b>Thanks for your encouraging words.&nbsp;</p> <p>I thought I'll let you all know it was a LOT of work building up the dreaded "pants for work" capsule- but it really did worth, as since then, some of the looks grew up to FFBOs! </p> <p><b>Olivegreen:</b>&nbsp; You are so right! The&nbsp;"round open necklines on coloured jackets are a bit church lady, rather than business" &nbsp;and thanx for your head ups!:-) I also am more powerful in a crisp bl&amp;w outfit, but &nbsp;I feel I can still do these outfits on certain days as my place is pretty casual and in a somehow creative field.</p> <p><b>Angie, always trying &amp;Celia:&nbsp;</b>Will do a post on my casual pants looks today-sty tuned! &nbsp;I always get lost in reading, contemplating (and commenting) on &nbsp;other's &nbsp;fab threads on the Forum:-), so this is why I am so scarce on posting my owns... But you can say I1m a good student isn't it:-).</p> <p><b>Gaylene (DEB and others)&nbsp;</b>you &nbsp;really put your finger on my sensible point, the shoes. Previously I only payed attention on updating my shoes with the same style, over and over again. It's only nowadays I am putting my efforts into finding some current looking replacements of the older ones. And yes,&nbsp;"shoes can transform a look" this is another great thing I've learnt from here.</p> <p><b>Firecracker:&nbsp;</b>Thanx for the hair compliment. There are days when I'm pleased with my hair, too, but it still needs a continuous effort to keep it out from the frump (nr. 21 is wet hair, I think:-)). I've cut off the angled side bob&nbsp;just the other day, colored it a bit darker(+ highlights again) and cut me some thicker bangs so my new style is &nbsp;now somewhat a longer version of Angie's target style (I think)-which is fab! We'll see how it does IRL, but am not prepared yet to go shorter.</p> <p><b>Deborah: </b>Think white is as powerful as black, pls try! And needless to say but you were my true&nbsp;&nbsp;inspiration here with those fab peep-toe bootie-sandals and pants looks:-)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>CocoLion:&nbsp;</b>As you, I also find" bl&amp;w so incredibly chic" AND POWERFUL (navy and white included) -but it is very hard to achieve THE LOOK. &nbsp;And yes, it was my conscious plan for this spring, hope to do it better and better.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-business-casuals-2015#post-1493870 Wed, 20 May 2015 03:03:07 +0000 unfrumped 1493870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just amazing. Each one looks great, there's variety but all suit you so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-business-casuals-2015#post-1493837 Wed, 20 May 2015 02:18:05 +0000 CocoLion 1493837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love seeing your capsule here, it shows how well your items coordinate. &nbsp;My favorites are the mostly black and white outfits, because, I&nbsp;<i></i>don't know why, but I find b&amp;w so incredibly chic.&nbsp;Or, navy and white. &nbsp;I just can't seem to get enough of it! &nbsp;I particularly love #6 due to the mostly black and white scheme but with the surprise element of coral pumps. &nbsp;Very understated elegant use of &nbsp;'pop of color'. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-business-casuals-2015#post-1493829 Wed, 20 May 2015 02:02:41 +0000 Deborah 1493829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous business capsule! &nbsp;#1 is just SO FAB!! &nbsp;I love it. &nbsp;Your footwear is great and really makes the outfits. &nbsp;You make me want to wear white pants!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-business-casuals-2015#post-1493725 Tue, 19 May 2015 21:40:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1493725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking fabulous in those ankle pants--all versions are terrific! I especially like that leather and fabric jacket (6,7, 8) and your white drapey cardigan outfits (13, 14). And your hair is looking great, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-business-casuals-2015#post-1493625 Tue, 19 May 2015 17:49:12 +0000 Deb 1493625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well the dreaded pants should be renamed the fabulous pants. They really suit you and I love #1 and #16 especially. You've done a top job and put some great outfits together here with so many potential variables within the capsule. Agreeing with Gaylene, shoes are transformers in our wardrobes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-business-casuals-2015#post-1493620 Tue, 19 May 2015 17:30:27 +0000 Gaylene 1493620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Lynn, you've really found your style groove. You look spectacular in all of these outfits, but, even more, each outfit showcases your personal stamp of wearing classics in a way that transforms them into something fresh, modern, and uniquely your own. </p> <p>Your instincts to update by incorporating pants into your wardrobe and focusing on shoes, was dead on. These outfits are an inspiration for all of us who want to stay stylish without starting from scratch every season. We talk about how shoes can transform a look on this forum, and you've made that point in spades. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-business-casuals-2015#post-1493601 Tue, 19 May 2015 16:51:14 +0000 kkards 1493601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>all FAB, but I almost couldn't get past #1 - I just love it so much.&nbsp;my next fav is #9. and I love the denim jacket and bag in #19. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-business-casuals-2015#post-1493560 Tue, 19 May 2015 15:39:47 +0000 celia 1493560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so glad Angie "put you up" to this.

They all look really nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-business-casuals-2015#post-1493460 Tue, 19 May 2015 11:53:06 +0000 Elizabeth P 1493460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look wonderful in all of these Lyn, I hope you are starting to feel more comfortable in pants, because you really rock this silhouette!&nbsp; </p> <p>I especially like that black jacket. </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-business-casuals-2015#post-1493456 Tue, 19 May 2015 11:46:22 +0000 Olivegreen 1493456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a very coherent and well fitted capsule. You must be pleased! Because I am a woman of a certain age, I am on the lookout for matronly details that age me, and my only caveat would be that round open necklines on coloured jackets are a bit church lady, rather than business.<br /> That same jacket in black or white would read differently...so your black and white direction is absolutely working.<br /> I want those loafers. Yes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-business-casuals-2015#post-1493443 Tue, 19 May 2015 10:59:20 +0000 Sharon 1493443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fabulous work capsule. You look great in all of them. I especially love the structured jackets in #1, #4, #6 and #16 - they pull the outfits together beautifully. I love the skirts and dresses, too. Very elegant and lady-like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-business-casuals-2015#post-1493439 Tue, 19 May 2015 10:35:10 +0000 Cococat 1493439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful collection of business casual looks. I would never think of wearing black top and booties with white pants but it looks fantastic. </p> <p>I love the toe cleavage in pic 18. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-business-casuals-2015#post-1493436 Tue, 19 May 2015 10:27:34 +0000 krishnidoux 1493436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, what a great, coherent, stylish wardrobe you have here! I notice you like a silhouette with a longer lightweight, straight shirt layered under a cropped crisp jacket. And this combination is so effective! I also like your play with colour contrast. I especially like the collar in 9 and 10, it's very flattering.<br />2, 6, 16, 17 and 19 are my favorites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-business-casuals-2015#post-1493434 Tue, 19 May 2015 10:17:15 +0000 lyn67 1493434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, Angie invited me to do this post.</p> <p>I don't know if it's really fashionable, but hope for the best on my business casuals here I was pleased with them &nbsp;in spring. Up to the moment I was mostly a skirt and dresses girl, but this year I payed more attention on consciously creating &nbsp;a few of that "dreaded" pants look good enough for work. </p> <p>I was contemplating the sillouette below (and the using of some specific items) on our stylish forum members for so long-but it seems we are late on trends here. Thus some of the tops, and all the jackets are older, it was only this year I could find me some springy black ankle pants, comfy peep-toe bootie sandals &nbsp;for the looks I shamelessly wanted to copy from y'all:-). (Blush tassled loafers, black sneak skin low wedged pumps and black leather bag from nr 19 are also new this season).</p> <p>So, how did I do?</p> <p>For keeping things real, I posted also some non pants looks in the last row.</p> <p>PS. Oh, it only struck me now seeing all these looks together in one place, it seems it all grew up to a little round and useful work capsule!:-)</p> <p>If somebody interested, &nbsp;will do a post later with using &nbsp;pants &nbsp;for &nbsp;my casual looks, too:-).</p> <p>Comments, suggestions always appreciated.</p>
