The mixing, the pop of color with your handbag and your leather skirt all read as Una said. This is better than business casual IMHO. Yes, I want to join you for lunch and go shopping with you, too. Keep pushing the envelope. You're doing great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me/page/2#post-573486 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 11:22:01 +0000 Andrea B. 573486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think youREALLY hit it out of the park. LOVE the look, particularly the green bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me/page/2#post-573348 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 02:53:06 +0000 christy 573348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - thanks everyone for the positive and helpful feedback (as in why it works and is okay)! You all really made my day. Glad to know that venturing out of my comfort zone can be a good thing! </p> <p>Christianne, Dianthus and Deborah - I'd love to have lunch and/or go shopping! And Deborah, thank you for the comment about still looking professional and authoritative. That's a very important element to what I wear to work, so I don't like to get too "out there". </p> <p>MaryK - hi back leather skirt twin! </p> <p>KikiG - your comment cracked me up. On my business formal days, I'm pretty buttoned up in a suit, so this is on the more casual side for me with the knit wear and leather skirt. But I can certainly be on the more casual side as well. And do you often stand up in front of 600 people and talk for an hour? If so - wow! Impressive. </p> <p>Rachylou - I think that this was one of those times when if I saw someone else post this WIW, I wouldn't even think twice about it being too bold. But because it was a bit out of my comfort zone, it did feel bold for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me/page/2#post-573309 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 02:08:13 +0000 Ginny 573309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love this look!!! very stylish and chic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me/page/2#post-573300 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 02:00:55 +0000 Kari 573300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally and completely works! You really made the leather skirt work appropriate and the green bag is amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me/page/2#post-573258 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 01:30:56 +0000 velvetychocolate 573258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A truly fabulous outfit and not tame at all (not to me at least). What an amazing look and you really do look incredible in this. It's one of those "knocked it out of the park" outfits, or as Angie might say, "flying around the room." It's *that* good. </p> <p>Whew... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me/page/2#post-573257 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 01:30:39 +0000 Mellllls 573257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me/page/2#post-573254 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 01:26:38 +0000 Sunita 573254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow! This is an amazing look, and the green bag is the perfect zap of color in the classic black &amp; white color palette. Love the pattern mixing with one dominant and one subtle, and the texture mixing!</p> <p>You really nailed it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me/page/2#post-573253 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 01:26:18 +0000 Anonymous 573253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such exquisite taste Christy. I love this outfit in it's entirety! The knitwear softens the leather, the pattern mixing is not jarring at all, and I was wanting the bit of color your bag provided. I think it's perfect! You look just fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me/page/2#post-573240 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 01:09:14 +0000 Aparna 573240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Winner!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me/page/2#post-573154 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 23:24:59 +0000 Beth Ann 573154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Classic and chic! Wear this again. Sticking to black and white and saving the color for the bag helps the eye accept the pattern mix and keeps it quite subtle. Great fit and proportions, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me/page/2#post-573146 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 23:18:41 +0000 rachylou 573146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Consummate professional! I know what you mean about tame/bold for some depending. I think I'm out there while at the same time thinking I'm pretty par for the course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me#post-573128 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 22:46:51 +0000 Deborah 573128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christy you look amazing! I want to copy this look! And if I saw you in my office I think I'd have to introduce myself and suggest we do lunch:). This is a great outfit and you still look professional and authoritative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me#post-573106 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 22:25:02 +0000 catgirl 573106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fantastic look! I wouldn't think of it in terms of "tame vs. bold". It's modern, sophisticated, and pretty classic to my eye, though the leather skirt edges it up. Nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me#post-573105 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 22:22:40 +0000 MNsara 573105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is totally fab!!

I think the green bag is the perfect finishing touch!</p> <p>And if I saw you coming down the hall at my office today, I would say "Hello, leather skirt twin!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me#post-572975 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 19:41:55 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 572975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow.

However, if that is business casual, what I wear to work must be "business go clean out the garage!" Your business casual is what I would wear to stand up in front of 600 people and talk for an hour! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me#post-572957 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 19:24:15 +0000 Gaye 572957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow you look wonderful well done on pushing your self out of your comfort zone </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me#post-572929 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 19:08:33 +0000 Kirti 572929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tame-for-some-bold-for-me#post-572921 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 19:03:19 +0000 Scarlet 572921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally works to my eye.
