Otherwise, Angie said it all:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tweaking-the-work-outfit#post-1634095 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 14:16:46 +0000 Angie 1634095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the outfit has great potential, and it's lovely to see you post again, Sally.&nbsp;</p> <p>If I were styling you, we'd cuff the jeans, un-button the blazer, and keep the sleeves from showing under the sleeves of the jacket.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tweaking-the-work-outfit#post-1634052 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 12:00:53 +0000 Anonymous 1634052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So great, and you nailed the work-casual vibe. I like your idea of more shirts/tunics in this length. I've also recently discovered that the lightweight ones semi-tuck beautifully, giving me the option to wear them long with leggings or tucked into jeans. I agree with Rachy on the structure that tucking, rolling and pushing up provide! YLF Sally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tweaking-the-work-outfit#post-1634046 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 11:44:35 +0000 Momo 1634046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tweaking-the-work-outfit#post-1634034 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 09:11:10 +0000 Sally 1634034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Brooklyn, Bijou and Rachylou, I'm going to wear this look until I get sick of it. I'm on the hunt for new tee shirts now and perhaps another jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tweaking-the-work-outfit#post-1634029 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 08:09:33 +0000 rachylou 1634029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh if I don't say so myself, this is fab! I think structure is the right word - Angie's word - the pushed up sleeves and v-neck provide 'structure' by revealing a little skin and bone. Things look quite fitted and smart! I also think the semi tuck is very wise - without it, I'm thinking the shirt would just look untucked...too much strong horizontals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tweaking-the-work-outfit#post-1634016 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 06:33:36 +0000 Bijou 1634016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to agree with all the comments above, this outfit looks great and because it has more structure and fits you well, it is flattering. &nbsp;I would also like your striped top under this blazer for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tweaking-the-work-outfit#post-1634015 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 06:27:31 +0000 Brooklyn 1634015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Sheila. This looks sharp. The jacket and shirt are very flattering. I can't quite see what you have done with the hem of the shirt but I think the length is good. I would shop for shirts that length. Maybe with a rounded hem would be even better. I like the way you are wearing it open too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tweaking-the-work-outfit#post-1633995 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 04:21:35 +0000 Sally 1633995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks<b> BrieN </b>- The jacket is actually got 2 buttons but I left the top button undone.&nbsp; It is definitely lower cut in the front though so I'll be on the look out for that styling in the future.</p> <p>Thanks <b>Sheila</b>- the blouse is crème and grey but I like the low v neck and it is more fitting around the shoulders.&nbsp; Thanks for that great suggestion about teeney bop shops...I have gone there for leggings and believe they probably do good t-shirts at a reasonable price.&nbsp;&nbsp; I could probably get a few in different colours as long as I find a good fit.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tweaking-the-work-outfit#post-1633993 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 04:11:41 +0000 Sheila 1633993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow this is great! Honestly it is so slimming on you, whereas yesterday's floral top seemed to add bulk...even though it was made of a lighter-weight fabric. Well done, you look really sharp in this outfit. And the colors look fantastic -- these strong blues such as this blouse and the striped one yesterday are very complementary to your coloring. And the print is much more current than the floral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tweaking-the-work-outfit#post-1633991 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 04:09:20 +0000 BrieN 1633991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh wow. you look great! &nbsp;I think you are exactly right about the blazer, how it's open in the front and I like how it shows off the pattern on your blouse.. &nbsp;Note to self: find a one button blazer!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tweaking-the-work-outfit#post-1633986 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 03:59:30 +0000 Sally 1633986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After the great suggestions I got yesterday, I have come up with what I think is a more successful to go work/business casual outfit.&nbsp; I wore it to work all day and felt very comfortable.&nbsp; </p> <p>The jeans are actually a size down from the ones in the my other post&nbsp;but seem looser in the photo.&nbsp; They are a good fit though.&nbsp; They are straight while the other ones were skinny jeans. </p> <p>The jacket is different from the one I was wearing the other day but the same size. I found it at the back of my wardrobe and like it because it is low and open in the front.&nbsp; I have tried folding /scrunching the sleeves.&nbsp; </p> <p>The shirt is too long so I semi tucked it to make it the length shown in the photos. Normally I would wear long with leggings.&nbsp; </p> <p>I think I need more shirts/t-shirts that are V-necked and about this length and I can accessorise with different necklaces and shoes etc.&nbsp; I think this way my top area is minimized.&nbsp; What do you think?&nbsp; Feedback appreciated.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
