Good for the patient speaking his/her mind and validating your style with your preceptor! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-friendly-tops-and-a-funny-patient-encounter#post-931954 Tue, 14 May 2013 13:53:24 +0000 Thistle 931954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the patient one uppingthe boss :D&nbsp; <br /><br />The whole idea that people look at our clothes first is one of the reasons I started to care about the way I dress. <br /><br />Not really sensing twee in the tops, either. We will have to see them on you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-friendly-tops-and-a-funny-patient-encounter#post-931944 Tue, 14 May 2013 13:40:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 931944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Smart patient! And I do think that clothes matter more as a first impression than many think.&nbsp;<br /><br />Love all the tops you linked to and I don't see any "twee" among them. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-friendly-tops-and-a-funny-patient-encounter#post-931918 Tue, 14 May 2013 13:00:41 +0000 Suz 931918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That is such a funny story! It is probably very true to reality, too. I am sure people notice our clothing before our smiles, as a rule. Interesting.&nbsp;<br /><br />I think those tops would work with your style for sure.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-friendly-tops-and-a-funny-patient-encounter#post-931894 Tue, 14 May 2013 11:39:40 +0000 Agnes 931894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes thats funny.&nbsp;I Love the first three. they are rather cutesy but just under knee length is quite sophisticated and would go well with these. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-friendly-tops-and-a-funny-patient-encounter#post-931855 Tue, 14 May 2013 06:03:18 +0000 Mo 931855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOVE your patient's one upping the boss's diss! &nbsp;Ha! &nbsp;<br />FWIW, I don't see these tops as twee. &nbsp;More sexy secretary if anything. &nbsp;I know at 20 something I would have found them too matronly for my style, for sure. &nbsp;I think you could rock them. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-friendly-tops-and-a-funny-patient-encounter#post-931853 Tue, 14 May 2013 06:00:44 +0000 lyn* 931853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am going to wager that if my skirts are longer, and more "serious" that way; I can balance them with a more "twee" top - and still be able to get away with it! Tee hee!<br /><br />I have been staring at these tops for a long time, but I was afraid with a shorter skirt they would be to twee-twee for me to wear to work, even under a blazer.<br /><br />I have been seriously addicted to blazers in the last little bit - what did I ever do without them adding beautiful structure to my outfits?&nbsp;<br /><br />****<br /><br />One of my patients said to me today, "Thank you for dressing nicely. Young people never do that anymore."&nbsp;<br /><br />I thanked her, and my preceptor said (she's really against the way I dress for some reason), "It's probably more important to have a good attitude and a nice smile though, right?"&nbsp;<br /><br />Patient: "No. I noticed her pretty skirt first, then her pretty smile."&nbsp;<br /><br />:) Tee hee.<br /><br />****<br /><br />ETA: Found an old store credit! This is why you never throw away all your receipts! I think I'm going to try 4/5 and 6/7 as a mail order (none in store) and try to hunt down the pretty coral colour (8) if I can find it in store - One of my friends has a really beautiful chambray shirt, and I want to try one out!
