I can absolutely see that the one obvious step I need to take with my work wordrobe to improve it is to add more stylish footwear. And yet there are hurdles. My fussy feet go for expensive and comfortable styles with very specific fitting requirements, they are small in size so there is not much left this late in the season etc etc!!!</p> <p>Socks however I could change with much less angst. I actually only own black socks (apart from gear). Given that I need to wear socks with the pictured shoes for comfort reasons, what colour would be a better choice? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-looking-pretty-today#post-1027490 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:08:02 +0000 Lisa 1027490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clever you to break up the suit and get more mileage from your pieces, nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-looking-pretty-today#post-1027413 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 12:31:11 +0000 Suz 1027413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack! The peanut gallery comments. Never the most fun in the morning. I am sure you looked terrific, Anne.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-looking-pretty-today#post-1027322 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 06:54:00 +0000 ManidipaM 1027322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh all too familiar with the truncated wardrobe by reason of laundry bottleneck.</p> <p>Maybe it is the very half-and-half proportions that lack as much flair? Adding an accent...shoes, hair, bag would sort that next time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-looking-pretty-today#post-1027317 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 06:31:36 +0000 Deborah 1027317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look kind of 'businessy', I wonder if this is what your DD meant.&nbsp; I think you look great and you hair looks lovely back of your face too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-looking-pretty-today#post-1027279 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 04:31:46 +0000 rachylou 1027279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol. Looks fine. You could take this up a notch with different shoes and socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-looking-pretty-today#post-1027266 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 04:14:43 +0000 anne 1027266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn I am not wrapt by it but it'll do given how few clothes there seemed to be left to wear!&nbsp; My tasks for the weekend are clear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-looking-pretty-today#post-1027265 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 04:13:31 +0000 lyn* 1027265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, do you think that you look less pretty today? I think I like this suit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-looking-pretty-today#post-1027263 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 04:08:23 +0000 anne 1027263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Adelfa - DD is very lavish with her praise in general so I guess she usually thinks that.</p> <p>Lyn&nbsp; they aren't really pointy shoes though may look it in the photo. They are Ziera&nbsp;(orthotic)&nbsp;flats,which I bought in January, and are my only (office suitable plus can wear&nbsp;all day including for&nbsp;two 15 min walks)&nbsp;footwear apart from my black boots. I was going to try wearing my heeled Mary Janes, which are pretty much sitting shoes, today (with these as back up) but these trousers are hemmed for flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-looking-pretty-today#post-1027261 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 04:01:01 +0000 Lyn D. 1027261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Always Pretty!<br />I think you look very professional with your hair this way, and the broken suit looks smart.<br />Are the pointy shoes new? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-looking-pretty-today#post-1027243 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 03:16:58 +0000 Adelfa 1027243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course this does mean your usual is pretty! Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-looking-pretty-today#post-1027223 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 02:48:12 +0000 anne 1027223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ceit&nbsp; Yes my hair is in a pony tail ( I think maybe that is what&nbsp; DD didn't like. - or maybe it is that I am wearing trousers which I rarely do for work but was forced to for reasons of scarcity!)</p> <p>And thanks Kiwichik! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-looking-pretty-today#post-1027210 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 02:32:33 +0000 Anonymous 1027210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that you broke up the suit! Is your hair tied back too? It looks pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-looking-pretty-today#post-1027205 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 02:26:02 +0000 Kiwichik 1027205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Morale of the story never listen to beauty critiques from a 5 year old - of ourselves you look pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-looking-pretty-today#post-1027199 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 02:21:29 +0000 anne 1027199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>According to DD5. Though DH hastily said "still pretty"</p> <p>This is the first time I have ever worn my suit jacket not with its matching skirt.</p> <p>Had a wardrobe deficiency this morning, with the bulk of it in the wash,or needing ironing or mending/alternations. Felt iit was a bit boring</p> <p>Comments and&nbsp; criticism welcome. I realise it isn't very visible</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
