I appreciate your vote for the sneakers. I just got a new pair similar to the metallic ones in my photos, because I do wear them a lot for work. <br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe/page/2#post-2002408 Thu, 14 Feb 2019 14:40:27 +0000 Bijou 2002408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great work capsule and you are a wonderful model. These all work with your sneakers and that is how I would wear them if working in retail as standing all day can be tough and comfy, supportive footwear would be at the top of my Wishlist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe/page/2#post-2002381 Thu, 14 Feb 2019 13:40:25 +0000 kellygirl 2002381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, you hit the nail on the head with sporty luxe. Emphasis on the luxe because these are so yummy! My faves are the column of purple with and without the denim topper and the green blouse with the denim topper followed by the orange sweater. SO cool, Sharan. This is the kind of sporty I can get behind. Great picks. You always look so put together and stylish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe/page/2#post-2002301 Thu, 14 Feb 2019 06:19:43 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2002301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your thoughts, <b>unfrumped.</b> I agree with your observation about the shorter top proportions. And the dressier shoe idea makes sense, too.&nbsp; I was kind of going for that with the more refined oxford, rather than a clunky one. I can do that with sandals (i.e., toward dressy rather than sporty), and will--much, much later in the summer here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe/page/2#post-2002161 Wed, 13 Feb 2019 19:00:13 +0000 unfrumped 2002161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think what works with some of the favorite vote- getters are the shorter top proportions.<br /> I love track pant styles is drapey fabrics and will likely continue to keep an eye out for them reguof “ trend” because the right fit works for my body type.<br /> For shoes, not suggesting uncomfortable shoes BUT a dressier shoe/boot gives more juxtaposition with sporty pants. Not stilettos like the bloggers, but something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe/page/2#post-2001833 Wed, 13 Feb 2019 00:18:48 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2001833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>LaPed</b>, thank you. I appreciate your weighing in on favorites. I like the slouch effect, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe/page/2#post-2001827 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 23:57:14 +0000 LaPed 2001827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love seeing your outfits! Fav's are 1/2 and 8/9. I kinda prefer the pants longer, tbh. I like the bit of slouchiness you get with the longer inseam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe/page/2#post-2001649 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 17:21:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2001649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Thank you, <b>Torontogirl</b>! <br /></div><div><b>cjh</b>, thank you. How sweet of you. Yes, I do still sew, but I've gotten into bicycling in the past year, and it takes up a lot of my would-be sewing time. So I'm not doing as much these days. And also not as much posting on YLF. But I'll try to show some made-by-me items from time to time. Glad you enjoy them!</div><div><b>Suntiger,</b> thank you! <br /></div><div><b>Lisa p</b>, thanks for clarifying. I wasn't offended. It's something I've wondered about: The sneaker trend is still strong, but that doesn't mean mine are still fashionable! So if you had some cool new looks in mind, I'd be all ears. And <b>Kathie </b>is right. We do have the top at OSKA Seattle, OSKA doesn't ship out of country. So if the Vancouver store had it, you could order it from them. Or we could work out something where I could ship it to you personally. Message me if you want to go that route!<br /></div> </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe/page/2#post-2001618 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 15:58:24 +0000 Kathie 2001618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa- not Firecracker, but, I poked around on-line, and found the top at the Seattle OSKA, but not at the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://vancouver.oska.com/">Vancouver </a>or NYC stores. And, the Seattle store ships only in the US, while the Vancouver store ships only in Canada. Standard shipping is $20, in either CAD or USD. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe/page/2#post-2001596 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 15:07:03 +0000 Anonymous 2001596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coming back to say : I want that green top.

I prefer more closely fitting garments, but you’ve made some nice combos here. Can I ask, do you still sew many of your own clothes? I always enjoyed seeing them and loved your looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe/page/2#post-2001540 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 12:41:45 +0000 Helena 2001540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such a sophisticated ease to your style.

I might switch out the purple top for the green in 5 and while I like the sneaker type shoes the oxfords don't look right to me at all.</p> <p>I like the two purple pieces together with your bare arms but would prefer a stronger color as a overlay, rather than the pale grey ones. I think I like 8,9 and 11 because the color mix creates support and structure where tailoring is not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe#post-2001413 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 03:05:19 +0000 Kathie 2001413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The moss top is fabulous..very tempting to add to my own wardrobe. My faves are the ones with a third piece- especially 2, 9, and 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe#post-2001383 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 01:40:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2001383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b>, yay! thanks.

Love pic 8! I like the longer length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe#post-2001369 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 01:16:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2001369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Katerina</b>!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe#post-2001367 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 01:09:16 +0000 Katerina 2001367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker, my sneakers are Hogan Interactive, here is a link:</p> <p><a href="https://www.hogan.com/ee-en/Woman/Shoes/Interactive/c/111-Hogan/" rel="nofollow">https://www.hogan.com/ee-en/Wo.....111-Hogan/</a></p> <p>Beware of odd sizing, in European sizes about 1,5 - 2 sizes too big, I always size down. Only with this model though, others are regular sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe#post-2001366 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 01:06:24 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2001366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, <b>Irina</b>! I get what you mean about the literal idea of the sneakers. That crossed my mind, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe#post-2001365 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 01:05:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2001365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div><b>Angie</b>, here's the outfit with the other scarf. It's a very light-weight wool, not super dressy, but not rustic like the other one. What do you think?</div><div><b>Suz</b>, thank you. Yes, I could see the green top with burgundy, especially a deep shade. Not sure I have anything for spring in that shade, but it's a color I like.&nbsp; <br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe#post-2001360 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 00:45:36 +0000 Irina 2001360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it, Firecracker! I would wear most of these pieces with pleasure myself! only, I would prefer slightly cropped pants. FWIW, I like to pair these style pants with oxfords or flats. Wearing it with sneakers is kind of too literal and sporty to my eye :)<br /> My favorites are 1, 2, 9 and 11. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-of-spring-my-work-wardrobe#post-2001358 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 00:43:58 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2001358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div><b>Katerina</b>, thanks for your picks! I was admiring the style of your sneakers on your color challenge post. I will have an eye out this spring for an addition to my sneaker capsule. My metallic slip-ons are stretched out and less comfy than they used to be.</div><div><b>Angie,</b> I'll take a pic with the items together. <br /></div></p>
