I love how spontaneous discoveries/treats can turn into workhorses! The way this outfit zeros in on your trim midsection is fantastic. If you surrender the butt, you can put the focus elsewhere, is what I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831794 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 03:44:56 +0000 Ariadne 831794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit. It's beautiful and very "Rae". The camo and sapphire together really pop.</p> <p>I'm glad you've got good advice and comforting clothes to buoy you right now, Rae. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831774 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 03:20:08 +0000 Caro in Oz 831774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you take those pants &amp; boots &amp; add to them to make them feminine (in the best possible way). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831761 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 03:08:57 +0000 Beth Ann 831761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, you look amazing in those pants -- makes me want to go buy them, which would, um, not be wise! Even those this is really casual, it's deliberate and the care you take in choosing your wardrobe items makes spontaneous dressing much more fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831745 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 02:44:38 +0000 rae 831745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, so interesting about short hair! I was wanting to go a little shorter - looks like I will certainly have to be prepared to trim at home if I do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831739 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 02:38:47 +0000 amiable 831739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and when I have my hair really short, I have to trim every two weeks. :\ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831738 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 02:38:08 +0000 amiable 831738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just popped over to the OT thread - Wow, what a horrible ordeal!

Yikes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831688 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 02:09:38 +0000 Jaime 831688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colors and you look terrific.

While my clothes are completely different, seeing unusual (to me, that is) color combinations opens my eyes to more possibilities in my own closet.</p> <p>Hope everything with the job works out to your satisfaction and comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831639 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 01:26:08 +0000 Sarah A 831639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cobalt is lovely with the camo. I especially like the boots here... they feel like a fun unexpected surprise with the blue somehow I completely know what you mean about functional clothes too. Love the functional look with a high style quotient, that is truly an amazing feat! </p> <p>But, after being totally confused by MaryK's comment... OMG I just read the OT thread. Yes, I have lived under a rock for two weeks. After being in the military and being so close to those exposed to violence I feel for you with all my heart. I am glad to hear Dr. Shrink is someone you have felt connected with to help your healing process and that Nordie's is handling the situation in an upright first class manner. ****HUGS**** </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831624 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 01:07:56 +0000 Lyn D. 831624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the look!<br /> A transfer might be a good idea- fresh surroundings and new co-workers to meet.<br /> Good Luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831605 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:55:18 +0000 Raisin 831605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, looks really great. The blue is great with the camo. Looking cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831604 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:55:02 +0000 Anonymous 831604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, short hair needs maintenance. I had to get a trim at least every five weeks, I do love the fit of the camos on you and that jacket is the perfect shade of blue. I am glad Nordstrom is doing right by you all, but I would not expect any less. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831597 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:48:54 +0000 Thistle 831597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look on you, and the comfort factor is so critical. Huge difference too between a desk job and retail. Sitting versus moving around all day!</p> <p>I am sure your doctor will do what's best for you, and I am glad you got the disability time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831587 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:41:53 +0000 Transcona Shannon 831587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Strong, visually interesting, great fitting outfit! Love cobalt on you Rae and amazed at how fabulously it pairs with camo.</p> <p>Wishing you all the best with your transfer.</p> <p>BTW - I have to get my pixie cut trimmed every 4-5 weeks or it totally loses its shape and get bulky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831583 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:36:52 +0000 catgirl 831583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair limit is 6 weeks before my roots show - otherwise I can go a bit longer. Short hair is WORK, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831573 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:30:04 +0000 rae 831573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good call on the hair, Marley. It has been just about 6 weeks. Wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831556 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:18:49 +0000 Anonymous 831556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, missed that about possible transfer! Fingers crossed for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831552 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:17:17 +0000 Amy 831552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admire you for wearing those fab camo pants. You rock the look. </p> <p>I found out about the high maintenance side of short hair last year when I got a pixie. I just can't do it. Chin length hair like this is a lot easier to care for. Even on the heavier side, it still looks pretty darned good :)</p> <p>I'm glad you work for a company where a transfer is something that can be worked out. Keeping you in my thoughts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831549 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:16:58 +0000 marianna 831549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Full-line Nordstrom here you come!!!!</p> <p>You look fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831541 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:11:03 +0000 Marley 831541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the blue with the camo! I'm not a fan of camo - but, pairing the blue with it makes me LOVE it! Also, completely understand what you're saying about the need/desire for "spontaneous clothes." I'm right there with you - working at home, once in awhile walking down the hill to Trader Joe's or the coffee shop, heading to Boot Camp, transporting a shelter dog/cat to the Vet or a foster home, etc. - my clothes need to be versatile and work in a lot of different situations. (Ok - so, Boot Camp is a little different because I *do* wear work-out clothes for that - but you get my drift!)</p> <p>You're right about shorter hair being a little more high-maintenance. How long has it been since you've got it cut? When I had my hair your length, I had to get it shaped up approximately every 6 weeks. Now, with it shorter - I'm every 4 weeks!</p> <p>Can't wait to see you later this week. It will be good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831533 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:03:37 +0000 deb 831533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit. Comfort clothes are just like comfort foods. Follow your gut and do you you feel is best for you. I have also been worrying about you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831509 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 23:43:42 +0000 MsMary 831509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck with the transfer, Rae! Fingers crossed it all works out!! XXX OOO </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831489 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 23:34:26 +0000 catgirl 831489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, it is interesting, isn't it? And there's a lot of difference between "utilitarian style" (which I also love - zips, snaps, pockets) and real utilitarian clothing. It's why you don't see a lot of my looks here - they are truly functional for the activity but not so adorbs (like my climbing gear!).</p> <p>Do what the doctor orders - i've been worrying about you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831485 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 23:31:17 +0000 Anonymous 831485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and I forgot to continue my thought -- comfort/usability is paramount for me also! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831483 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 23:29:34 +0000 rae 831483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, I have a bit of time left on my initial 30-day disability leave. Seeing Dr. Shrink again tomorrow, but last I heard he was recommending a transfer. I am not sure when they will deem me fit to work again, but it looks like it won't be at the same store. </p> <p>Una, I totally see this now. "Function" was just a word back when I sat at a desk literally all day. Now I get so frustrated when clothes or shoes hold me back from a spontaneous hike or make me uncomfortable hauling clothes around at work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831482 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 23:27:48 +0000 Anonymous 831482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great, Rae! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831480 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 23:24:23 +0000 catgirl 831480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, that is a good goal - it's how I feel about shoulder room but really about all my clothes. If I can't function, what's the point? Love this color on you and am totally coveting the pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-favorites-sapphire-and-camo#post-831475 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 23:23:18 +0000 MsMary 831475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowzers, this is awesome!</p> <p>So have you decided not to go back to the job, or are you still recovering? </p>
