I wanted at ask you what kind of dog you have? weird I know! It looks a lot like a japanese Akita from what I can see? I used to have one - Love them so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-black-jean-office-look#post-116207 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 19:58:30 +0000 Isabel 116207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so lucky that you can wear the "peggings", they look good on you.<br /> With all due respect, each piece is great individually, but together they are not very strong. The peggings look really hip while the tops look more conservative. The proportions are also a bit out of balance.</p> <p>I think that a long, lean sweater or a boyfriend jacket with make you look classically modern. You could even do a lean long sweater with a belt. Also, I love the look of an above the knee dress or tunic with peggings. You look as if you have the body and the legs to pull this all off.</p> <p>Good lUck ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-black-jean-office-look#post-115810 Sat, 09 Jan 2010 05:21:39 +0000 yublocka 115810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristine I think the pants are great! Agree a longer top could work a bit better but the most important thing is you have great pants - what a start!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-black-jean-office-look#post-115446 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 01:53:01 +0000 Kristine 115446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the tips Angie! I like those ideas. </p> <p>I just read your post on top length and I think I'll give this sweater a try with skirts.</p> <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-black-jean-office-look#post-115435 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 01:20:31 +0000 Angie 115435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans and boots are great! I'd leave off this necklace and add a tunic cascading cardigan. Add a long necklace instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-black-jean-office-look#post-115367 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 22:10:21 +0000 Kristine 115367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our office runs the gamut, so sometimes it's hard to determine. Fleeces, birkenstocks, jeans and t-shirts aren't unusual, but the highest level people wear suits. I admit I was a little uncomfortable and might save skinny jeans for Fridays or with a dressy tunic or longer jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-black-jean-office-look#post-115360 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 21:59:08 +0000 Queen Mum 115360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you put together a great outfit there. I agree that a tunic-type top would be more current though.<br /> It does seem a bit casual for office wear, but you know your office.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-black-jean-office-look#post-115328 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:42:38 +0000 chewyspaghetti 115328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think this is too casual for an office, but maybe it wouldn't be with a blazer on top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-black-jean-office-look#post-115315 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:04:07 +0000 RoseandJoan 115315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, nice jeans and boots. I would prefer a slightly longer top and like a touch of a lighter (cream/ white) or brighter colour to add further interest. I definitely think the look is suitable for a casual office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-black-jean-office-look#post-115303 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 19:11:02 +0000 Louise 115303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the black skinnies are fine for smart casual work i've just bought some ponte knit ones for work. For me the top is a bit too traditional. I love the necklace x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-black-jean-office-look#post-115295 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 18:55:26 +0000 Kristine 115295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a good idea, thanks Phoebe. It could use a focal point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-black-jean-office-look#post-115290 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 18:50:08 +0000 Phoebe 115290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black skinnies are great for work. You look fine in that outfit. What about adding a colorful scarf? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-black-jean-office-look#post-115285 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 18:45:11 +0000 Kristine 115285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks medusa! I go back and forth on how I feel about skinnies at work. They just feel so darn skinny sometimes. I think I'll avoid this particular sweater with them, but I'll try them with a longer tunic or sweater. A longer top would also smooth over some of the wrinkles from sitting at a desk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-black-jean-office-look#post-115282 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 18:40:49 +0000 medusa 115282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristine, I think the outfit is not bad at all, and certainly appropriate for a casual office. Those colors are beautiful on you and a nice combination.</p> <p>I think it would look a bit better with a longer top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-black-jean-office-look#post-115279 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 18:26:22 +0000 Kristine 115279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For some reason I don't feel fab in it, although I did when I set out this morning. Can you help me identify the issue? Are black skinny jeans appropriate for a casual office? Is the sweater is too short or too fitted/traditional for skinnies? Is the black/brown combo not working? Or is it just too rumpled from sitting all day?<br /> Or am I just being too tough on myself?</p> <p>Cashmere polo sweater (hard to describe the color, dark violet-red), brown turtleneck, black skinny jeans and dark brown boots. Pointers welcome!</p> <p><a href="http://s832.photobucket.com/albums/zz246/JasperOrmis/StyleQuest/?action=view&amp;current=Thurs-1.jpg">&lt;img src="http://i832.photobucket.com/albums/zz246/JasperOrmis/StyleQuest/Thurs-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;</a> </p>
