The leopard outfit is slated for wear next Wednesday. I am looking forward to it!</p> <p>La Pedestrienne, our school can be fairly casual. I am not a fancy dresser, but am often more “dressed up” than many of my colleagues. My solid colored sweatshirts with pencil skirts might be just fine for the classroom. The challenge for me comes when I have meetings with parents or other professionals. I want to make sure I have a certain level of professional polish then. Yes, the bell sleeves with a bow tie are so much fun!!</p> <p>Karie, I can do that on a dressed down day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirts-and-pencil-skirtsa-new-love#post-1892918 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 17:11:50 +0000 Karie 1892918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look. I’ve worn sweatshirts (w/o words) with skirts to work on dress down day. It makes for a casual, yet pulled together, yet trendy, look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirts-and-pencil-skirtsa-new-love#post-1892915 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 17:05:19 +0000 LaPed 1892915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all really fun. 10 certainly looks reasonable for a school setting. Honestly I think any of the solid-colour tops could pass muster, but then the schools over here are super-casual. I love the idea of a bell-sleeved sweatshirt!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirts-and-pencil-skirtsa-new-love#post-1892859 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 14:33:07 +0000 Katerina 1892859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sweet and fun all of them! I especially love no 2 and 3 on you.<br /> Also the last picture - the leopard skirt combo looks absolutely fabulous - the necklace with the skirt and scarf is perfection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirts-and-pencil-skirtsa-new-love#post-1892829 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 12:49:52 +0000 unfrumped 1892829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great!<br /> Wirk wear is tougher. To dress down a pencil skirt but still for work, I usually think either of wearing a sweatshirt- like style but in luxe neutral fabrics, or a fluid or boxy sweater. I’d have to save the true graphics and the mire sweatshirt- looking ones for other occasions.<br /> Your school sweatshirt might be “ allowed” but might make you feel like an 8th grader! But might work for specific days like school spirit events. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirts-and-pencil-skirtsa-new-love#post-1892817 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 11:46:27 +0000 Mainelady 1892817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Teodora your suggestion is a great styling option! I will be trying it out! Thank you!</p> <p>Shevia, Airplane Mode as a motto is a great idea! Step back, unplug a bit and relax...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirts-and-pencil-skirtsa-new-love#post-1892779 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 04:56:00 +0000 Jaime 1892779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic!

If weather allows, layering with collared shirt makes it really work appropriate.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirts-and-pencil-skirtsa-new-love#post-1892677 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 23:36:23 +0000 Mainelady 1892677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Torontogirl! I like #2 a lot. The skirt has some royal blue in it, which doesn’t show up in the pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirts-and-pencil-skirtsa-new-love#post-1892654 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 22:48:25 +0000 Helena 1892654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing combos Mainelady! #2 knocks it right out of the park especially, in my book! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirts-and-pencil-skirtsa-new-love#post-1892624 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 19:50:27 +0000 JAileen 1892624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ML, yes, I meant puffin. That’s fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirts-and-pencil-skirtsa-new-love#post-1892621 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 19:42:36 +0000 Mainelady 1892621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all. I do think I am going to have some fun wearing these and June is always a cool month, so I am sure to get some summer wears. </p> <p>JAileen, I think the puffin is fun, too. It is the logo for our plumbing and heating company (after all, one doesn’t see too many puffins carrying wrenches). Here is a pic of the back of the sweatshirt. It is not subtle. </p> <p>Elizabeth P, I’m glad I helped. I hope you get the sweatshirt of your dreams! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirts-and-pencil-skirtsa-new-love#post-1892578 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 17:10:39 +0000 Suz 1892578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fantastic!

I think its something about the black &amp; white, and the black &amp; grey that i really am drawn to, and I think they're positively fab </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirts-and-pencil-skirtsa-new-love#post-1892557 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 15:53:37 +0000 JAileen 1892557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look for you.

You really make this look appealing. It may be hard to find just the right sweatshirts. The local breweries probably have some good designs but their wear would be limited. Do I really want to turn up at a Binle study advertising a hoppy IPA? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirts-and-pencil-skirtsa-new-love#post-1892501 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 14:09:47 +0000 RobinF 1892501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fun! Love #10 and I would think that could be for work. Overall I agree that for work the shirts with words seem a bit too casual. Love the striped skirt combo too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirts-and-pencil-skirtsa-new-love#post-1892499 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 14:03:12 +0000 Mainelady 1892499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An Angie and YLF inspiration that makes my heart sing. I pulled out my spring/ summer pencil skirts and a few sweatshirts. I do think I will be able to wear this combo. Here are some photos, so you can judge. Clearly, my Airplane Mode sweatshirt is my favorite.......</p> <p>1,2, 3. with knit pencil skirts with Airplane Mode sweatshirt and flats<br /> 4. split hem with ruffle sweatshirt and split hem striped skirt<br /> 5. Airplane Mode with split hem skirt and fringed booties<br /> 6. bell sleeved sweatshirt with nautical skirt and sneakers<br /> 7. Black denim skirt with boxy sweatshirt and shoe options<br /> 8. Long blue midi with bell sleeved sweatshirt, probably needs a semi tuck and maybe a belt and shoe options. It is hard to see details in this pic<br /> 9. long blue midi with vintage school sweatshirt and sneaker options<br /> 10. an outfit I can wear this week with tights. The sweatshirt is a very light weight and drapes nicely. I think the grommets and the boots give the outfit some edge. I think I will semi tuck it and add an animal print belt. Even though this is a sweatshirt I won’t hesitate to wear it to work. Somehow the look is more polished than my other sweatshirts.</p> <p>I think the casual vibe of the sweatshirts is going to make for fabulous weekend and out and about options. Do you think I can wear any of the combos to work? Is a sweatshirt only destined to be worn for super casual times? Maybe sweatshirts without lettering? I will be adding jewlery to all of these outfits....more pieces if going to work, fewer pieces for spring and summer outings.<br /> Thank you for looking and sharing your thoughts. I continue to learn so much from your comments. </p>
