You have such effortless style. Unrelated note but I really loved the silver Stella trainers on you from your shopping trip post. I didn't so much care for them on the stock photos but with you modelling them, I am now very envious. I have silver Elyse sandals but not a silver trainer...maybe I need them *laugh* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-you%e2%80%99re-not-sure-of-expectations/page/2#post-2226941 Sat, 25 Sep 2021 02:14:48 +0000 Eliza 2226941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well played!

I can see why you love the pattern on that top, and it works sooo well with the blazer and jeans. I'm glad to hear the show went well. The new ring is such a great way to add an extra bit of 'arty' vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-you%e2%80%99re-not-sure-of-expectations/page/2#post-2226777 Fri, 24 Sep 2021 13:24:34 +0000 Anonymous 2226777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great and glad it went well Love the print on the top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-you%e2%80%99re-not-sure-of-expectations/page/2#post-2226776 Fri, 24 Sep 2021 13:22:30 +0000 Janet 2226776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everybody! I grabbed some quick photos on my way out yesterday. I dressed rather quickly and relied on gut instinct and mood to pull this together, and I felt occasion appropriate and comfortable all evening! </p> <p>I wore my AG Angel very dark wash bootcut jeans, the Z&amp;V blazer, and an old sleeveless top from Vince Camino that only gets worn a couple times a year, but I love the print so much that I don’t mind. It’s a bit long and tunic-y, not my best length, but it works either under a topper or with a very tonal, low contrast bottom such as these jeans. Finished it off with my old but still beloved Modern Vice blue stingray booties (low heel and well proven for comfort for years so they were good for the four hours of being on my feet), silver Kate Hewko ring, and dangly silver leaf earrings from Mexico. Not pictured is my silver Milly tote, which I often use when I’ll be carrying extra stuff. And my mask, of course. </p> <p>The event was a lot of fun and I got great response to my work, as well as lots of compliments on the blazer, and the ring got noticed too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-you%e2%80%99re-not-sure-of-expectations/page/2#post-2226603 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 21:50:51 +0000 Barbara Diane 2226603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, having seen your amazing and stunning wildlife photography (on your website) I only disagree with your self description as not a wildlife photographer. :)<br /> Congrats on earning your spot in this show.<br /> I also thought you should wear some of your memorable jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-you%e2%80%99re-not-sure-of-expectations/page/2#post-2226440 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 08:46:54 +0000 Star (Lise) 2226440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Incredible photo!&nbsp; The blazer is a wise choice as you know you feel totally fab in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-you%e2%80%99re-not-sure-of-expectations/page/2#post-2226404 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 06:23:03 +0000 DonnaF 2226404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear what feels right to you, but I’m always partial to your iridescent vest. Memorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-you%e2%80%99re-not-sure-of-expectations/page/2#post-2226374 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 02:43:00 +0000 rebekahphoto 2226374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>congrats!! thats fantastic and sounds like a great opportunity to show your work! I know the challenge so well, as the fancy events I typically attend are gallery shows. you want to look cool, but professional....I would stay funky and creative! Even the corporate buyers expect artist to be, well, artsy! and true to your edgy style. I would not expect to see you in a too simple lbd, or bright, funky colors...</p> <p>&nbsp;you always look polished, and I agree pants/jeans with your Z&amp;V cool jacket will give a great style and edge, and the IG post link is smart business....people will notice....comfy shoes are a must!!!! <br />I remember years ago wearing some gorgeous Italian, classic knee high leather boots with 4" heels to a gallery walk...(in my 20s when I would still wear heels) and by the end of the night I almost had to walk barefoot my feet hurt so much..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-you%e2%80%99re-not-sure-of-expectations/page/2#post-2226346 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 01:40:43 +0000 Jaime 2226346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a stunning photo and no wonder you were honored! And congratulations! Definitely would go with an I am an artist look rather than something conservative. I imagine the corporate people would be disappointed otherwise - don't they all secretly dream of being the artist ? The Z&amp;V blazer sounds good. <br />And Lesley I love your parenting/life advice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-you%e2%80%99re-not-sure-of-expectations/page/2#post-2226343 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 01:31:32 +0000 Janet 2226343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, everybody! </p> <p>I’m leaning towards the Z&amp;V blazer with pants of some sort — I will be doing a fair bit of carrying and moving stuff around, and pants will be easier for those tasks. But I think hubs and I need to schedule a date night so I can debut that skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-you%e2%80%99re-not-sure-of-expectations/page/2#post-2226339 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 00:44:30 +0000 Windchime 2226339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I couldn’t have said it better than Carol—wear what makes you feel most confident for the event.

And what a fantastic photo!<br />I will be of no help here - I think both the tulle skirt idea and the Z&amp;V blazer idea are really good. Personally, I would choose the Z&amp;V, but it is only because I love blazers and this one is so amazing and so great on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-you%e2%80%99re-not-sure-of-expectations#post-2226238 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 20:36:29 +0000 Tanya 2226238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that is one of the most impressive photos I have seen lately. </p>
