To my mind black and white is always such a chic combination. #2 is lovely also and I think you hit the right note for a weekend meeting.</p> <p>It really does help when are able to clearly assess what we reach for and why and also give ourselves permission to wear what we like. You great in pants Jen (all styles that I have seen you in) and you work your proportions perfectly. And wearing a few different styled pants gives some variety. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-real-end-of-week#post-1392644 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 22:16:15 +0000 Caro in Oz 1392644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with everyone - love the first one &nbsp;&nbsp;:)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-real-end-of-week#post-1392615 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 21:24:49 +0000 Suz 1392615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am joining the chorus here, but wow, do you ever look amazing in black and white.

I only started wearing dresses and skirts since ylf and while I like them, they are much fussier to wear for me. So trousers really are my fallback position.</p> <p>Angie that is a good point on the length of the trouser. Not sure if it is a touch of linen shrinkage over time or they are short. I will check one of your recent posts on length - I think it was on bootcuts etc. I was just about to hem some casual pants when I get home from work so perfect timing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-real-end-of-week#post-1392388 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:42:13 +0000 Tanya 1392388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfits, and that shade of blue is gorgeous on you.&nbsp; Love your hair as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-real-end-of-week#post-1392379 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:31:47 +0000 Angie 1392379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are gorgeous in high contrast - high five, Beth Anne. Love your hair and specs. Lots of verve.&nbsp;</p> <p>Do your grey trousers seem a little short, Jen?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-real-end-of-week#post-1392348 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 14:52:59 +0000 Beth Ann 1392348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific in high contrast.&nbsp; The freshness of a white jacket is such a great choice for you, and the blue is a lovely cool, vibrant shade.</p> <p>You are wise for investing in more silhouettes for trousers.&nbsp; It makes for a much more flexible wardrobe.</p> <p>Love the lariat necklace! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-real-end-of-week#post-1392335 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 14:39:42 +0000 jackiec 1392335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look smashing in the crisp white jacket over the column of black! And the blue is so lovely on you as well. Interesting observation about reaching for trousers. Yes, it would be fun to try a new silhouette. You look really great!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-real-end-of-week#post-1392316 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 14:00:59 +0000 Meredith 1392316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks! I can see why you bat for Team Trouser, the wide leg trousers are amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-real-end-of-week#post-1392300 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:40:30 +0000 Anonymous 1392300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue cardigan is such a great color for you! Also love the shape of the white jacket and think it works so well over the all-black base. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-real-end-of-week#post-1392266 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 12:39:04 +0000 Anonymous 1392266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the column of black with the white jacket in #1 and I agree with MLMarge , the proportions work well. In #2 the turquoise really suits you and I love the necklace picking up on your glasses frames and creating a long line. Very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-real-end-of-week#post-1392260 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 12:32:20 +0000 MLMarge 1392260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both looks are flattering. &nbsp;Love the second look - great color for you and I think you nailed the proportion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-real-end-of-week#post-1392253 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:58:47 +0000 jenanded 1392253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops is today new locations? Scouting during the weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-real-end-of-week#post-1392199 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 06:51:26 +0000 jenanded 1392199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so valuable Posting More WIWs Here are 2 more outfits. </p> <p>The black and white is a very old reliable styling for me - especially for end of the week when I am getting tired. Pants and flat shoes seem to win out as they are easy to wear. You saw me in slouchies a few days ago. These are my straight legs, worn here as black column with black EF tank. I pop on the white jacket when I arrive at my building (It is 30 degrees aka getting around 90F, and umpteen percent humidity so I am dripping after the walk to work)...</p> <p>The second photo is what I plan to wear for a short debrief with the execs on Saturday before they fly back around the country. Trying to get the professional yet weekend appropriate look right here. A winter white EF tank, this time with grey slub wide leg linen pants, and a bright cotton cardigan with cream sandals.</p> <p>Given I bat for Team Trouser, this has been useful for me to reflect that I reach for trousers as I get tired etc etc, and that in fact I have tapered slouchies, straights and wide legs in rotation. I have bootleg jeans and have been considering getting bootleg work pants.</p> <p>Again comments most welcome! Thank you so much for looking. </p>
