I love the emerald on you, with the white it's so refreshing and the boots are the cherry on top. I need to sit down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874542 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:49:58 +0000 rae 874542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all. I will remember the outfit for other events, when I don't have to move around and hustle so much. </p> <p>AJ, thanks for the link! It was the jacket that does not breathe well, but I am considering the tee anyway. I don't have a white tee!</p> <p>Ceit, yes. One that is not lined in poly... Hopefully it won't be as hard to find as my trench was...</p> <p>Angie, thanks for pushing me. I wanted to wear them, but I had assumed a 3" heel would never fly at work!</p> <p>Zap, I am glad I'm not the only one. I feel like a lone ranger passing up all the multitudes of poly items out there. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874513 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:32:12 +0000 Tina.b 874513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love you in white and so clever to add the boots to match the jacket. That jacket looks amazing despite the breathability issue. Another gorgeous work look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874467 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:53:56 +0000 Sarah A 874467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the look x a million! Hate the breathability for you ... Sounds like you have an item (breathable white topper) to put on the snap up if I come by a great one list. Glad it was a good business day </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874464 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:50:46 +0000 Anonymous 874464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boo on the sweating issue, but, but, you look fantastic!</p> <p>I am becoming so sensitive to that too. I am slowly replacing all of my poly blend tops for breathable fabrics ( silk, cotton and silk/cotton blends), because I literally suffocate on poly and synthetics, especially if it is humid ( even if it is cold).</p> <p>As much as I love the jacket... Boo... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874462 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:49:44 +0000 Angie 874462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>Sorry you were uncomfy :(</p> <p>See how well those Sloans worked here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874460 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:48:13 +0000 Anonymous 874460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great look. Maybe a fabric white moto or other jacket style would work , like white twill or denim but dressier than the classic jean jacket for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874434 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:18:38 +0000 Transcona Shannon 874434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The beauty is, you don't look clammy! In fact, you look darned fabulous - love the white bookending with the jacket and boots and how great is it that the boots were comfy for the day? I've seen a few white fabric motos out there so keep your eyes peeled - that would definitely be more comfy for working in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874337 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:46:02 +0000 pil 874337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Imagine how well you would do business wise if you felt comfortable! Maybe it is time for a white leather jacket. For more breathability would this one be worth trying to convert to a vest like Ceit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874326 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:39:53 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 874326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874305 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:20:40 +0000 Karie 874305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suffering in the name of fashion When it happens to me, I usually end up adjusting/fiddling with my clothes, which makes things all the worse. </p> <p>You look fabulous, though, and I hope you find an acceptable replacement because I love this outfit on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874263 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 11:19:15 +0000 Thistle 874263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab, but it is no good if you don't feel fab! Glad you did good business in the outfit though!</p> <p>Maybe like Ceit said, keep your eye out for leather, or maybe even a cotton like the Elle Moss jacket you rock! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874261 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 11:15:46 +0000 Raisin 874261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yuck, too bad the jacket was so clammy! That feels the worst! You did look great though. Oh the pain of fashion, right? No, hopefully you can solve the issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874243 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 10:17:16 +0000 Anonymous 874243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great -- sorry about the pleather issue though. Maybe add a white leather jacket to yor list to keep an eye out for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874216 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 07:11:11 +0000 ramya 874216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer :(</p> <p>Coz you look so pretty... I am trying to copy you tomorrow but I am sure to have the same problem as you ... Pleather </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874196 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:41:21 +0000 Deborah 874196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No pain no gain! ha ha well I know that is usually said in relation to exercise, but hey. You look great, despite your discomfort. I am loving the boots. Im not sure if I have seen them before Rae,any chance of a close up of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874180 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:03:46 +0000 AJ 874180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer about the warmth, that outfit is FAB.</p> <p>How about this tee:<br /> <a href="http://www.jockey.com/Catalog/Product/Jockey-staycool-Reversible-T-Shirt" rel="nofollow">http://www.jockey.com/Catalog/.....le-T-Shirt</a></p> <p>I haven't tried it, so I can't tell you how well it works.

It's too horrible for words to look great on the outside, but feel -- um --- not on the inside. </p> <p>Love the shoes! I like working in a heel, too, when my feet let me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874130 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 04:50:25 +0000 rae 874130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the sympathy, Claire. At first I thought I could solve the issue in the future with a sleeved top, but I was clammy in the body of the cami/jacket, too. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874111 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 04:12:28 +0000 Anonymous 874111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you poor dear. I cannot imagine wearing a cami under my pleather jacket either. It would be "like a saw-na up in here".</p> <p>Well the good news is that you look fabulous and did some good business. And you discovered heeled boots that you can work in all day, so yay! I'm really lovin' you in the white, zowie! So good with your coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whitecaps-on-an-emerald-isle#post-874090 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 03:52:23 +0000 rae 874090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must be feeling the oceanic influences lately, because today's outfit reminds me of the beach as much as the previous one reminds me of sharks. I really wanted to see if I could make my bootcut Sloans work for a day of retail (the issue was that I prefer how they look with a 3" heel, so I refused to hem them), so I paired them withy my comfy 80%20 hidden wedges. The white jacket fell into place as a bookending element. </p> <p>Although I was very pleased with the look of the outfit, the Sloans, and the shoes (woohoo! I can do at least one high heel at work!), the jacket was horrifically uncomfortable. The faux leather did not breathe enough for me, and I felt clammy and stuck to the jacket lining all the livelong day. Real bummer, because I did good business in this outfit! I will have to keep an eye peeled for a natural fiber substitute for work. </p> <p>ETA: a photo of the 80%20 Rinas I found online.</p> <p>Faux leather jacet - Bebe<br /> Emerald cami - flea market<br /> Banana Republic Sloans - BR<br /> 80%20 Rina booties - Karmaloop<br /> Silver necklace - Ebay<br /> Tiger charm - Florence, Italy </p>
