My mom still gives me that questioning, not quite eye-rolling look that you might give a teen's questionable choice whenever she sees me use the bag, so the compliments it's getting make me laugh. </p> <p>Zerstreuet is a German word. "Scattered" is probably the most direct translation, but it's a little more than that, because of the prefix, as explained here <a href="https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/zer-" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/zer-</a> An English language phonetic spelling would be something like "tsare shtroyt", with a very soft "t" at the beginning.</p> <p>Hugs to you, because it sounds like you've had a rough couple of months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-focus#post-1850360 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 13:55:37 +0000 Anonymous 1850360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, that bag is to die for!! &nbsp;I love how all the colors coordinate so perfectly. &nbsp;I think these colors read as sophisticated. &nbsp;I think you look GREAT. &nbsp;</p> <p>Zerstreuet: &nbsp;this is a new word for me. &nbsp;Can you teach me to pronounce it. &nbsp;It seems the perfect word to describe what I have been feeling these past two months .... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-focus#post-1850353 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 12:45:28 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1850353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, you guys! You all put a smile on my face and this day is starting much better.</p> <p>Racheylou and Jen, you do realize there's a laptop in that bag and I spent a few hours at the bookstore trying to get some work done, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-focus#post-1850331 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 09:40:39 +0000 Jenni NZ 1850331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to see you! I had thought of you several times with Florida's troubles. I like the outfit. Your "awkward pose" is quite funny though- you look a bit stern! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-focus#post-1850287 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 04:01:46 +0000 Gigi 1850287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, you look very pulled together. The necklace is a great way to add detail to the outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-focus#post-1850257 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 02:27:59 +0000 Jenn 1850257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a poison eye for loafers (it’s not you, it’s me), but I love the hi-lo hemline on your dress and the fun jewelry. You do look pulled-together for a bookstore trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-focus#post-1850256 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 02:24:09 +0000 unfrumped 1850256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress with the loafers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-focus#post-1850252 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 02:15:25 +0000 cindysmith 1850252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a great outfit.

The suede bag adds to the look of soft neutrals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-focus#post-1850216 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 00:35:44 +0000 Angie 1850216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute. Digging the flats with the dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-focus#post-1850195 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 23:41:44 +0000 rachylou 1850195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great. The earth tones all play well together. The bag is very stylish, nice size satchel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-focus#post-1850192 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 23:36:32 +0000 Sal 1850192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look very pulled together.&nbsp; Neutral colours do that nicely.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I like this look on you - smart casual and comfortable and definitely pulled together.</p> <p>With what has been happening in Florida I am not surprised that you are lacking focus - the hurricane must have been stressful and scary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-focus#post-1850187 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 23:14:27 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1850187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should have been working at home for the last few days, but have been completely unable to focus. I finally gave up and went to a bookstore. Figuring out what to wear has never been such an issue for me. I'm tempted to blame it on YLF, but it probably actually is because I'm so zerstreuet (my brains are strewn about hither &amp; yon) and because I also haven't had the necessary focus on working out, hence bigger belly than I'd like. But this is what I came up with. The awkward pose is an attempt to show the newish loafers. </p> <p>I'm wearing a dress I got for part of a wedding weekend this summer, the bracelet my sister got me for my birthday, a long necklace, and am carrying my mother's faux suede bag from the 70s. </p> <p>How'd I do? Do I look more pulled together than I felt? </p>
