Usually something sort of au natural or rustic, and fairly simple. It makes me feel more put together for errands and such and doesn't take much brain work or effort.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986868 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 18:24:02 +0000 Thistle 986868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific transition! The sandals are fun, and comfort is so key in this heat.&nbsp; I give you many kudos for making it through a shift with no AC, and then not have it at home either?!?&nbsp; You are made of tougher stuff than me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986861 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 18:16:00 +0000 Mo 986861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, thank you all very much. &nbsp;Really. &nbsp;<br />I am taking a cue from Anna here in the spirit of her commuting outfits. &nbsp;I figure bringing just a light shoe and different top can take me halfway from uniform to 'outfit' for post work errands. &nbsp;And to be honest, I was soooo happy to take off my shoes and air my feet in sandals after my shift. &nbsp;What a relief! &nbsp;</p> <p>And I'm quite happy to continue to bring a casual, day in the life look to the forum. &nbsp;Glad to know it's a facet appreciated </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986852 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 17:53:55 +0000 DonnaF 986852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your photos were a reminder and superb lesson on how footwear and a necklace can elevate a simple look.&nbsp; Think about the non-look had you been wearing $1.99 flip-flops and no jewelry at all.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986824 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 17:02:46 +0000 Janet 986824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the necklace too! I really appreciate the "regular day" posts since that's what most of my summer outfits are too. I think you look great here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986819 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 16:51:04 +0000 annagybe 986819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986809 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 16:16:34 +0000 deb 986809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those sandals.

You look amazing, and well put together for being on your feet all day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986783 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 15:33:44 +0000 Anonymous 986783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoy the day-to-day casual looks just as much as dressier ones...maybe more as I am casually challenged and need help in this area. Keep on posting them, please. This looks classic. You were smart to change the capris to shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986767 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 15:08:54 +0000 Gaylene 986767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After seeing this post, I dug out an almost forgotten necklace to wear with my shorts/T/sandals outfit this morning. Mr. Gaylene nodded his approval...</p> <p>Actually, Mo, I do think you ought to be on some sort of pedestal for your determination to keep things real on a fashion site. It's posts like yours that remind me to put a bit of thought into my casual outfits, so please keep them coming!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986752 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 14:50:17 +0000 Angie 986752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice look! I like the way the sandals add a delicate aspect to the outfit by highlighting your dainty ankles, and the romance in your hair brings it all together </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986718 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 14:05:24 +0000 Sara L. 986718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look good and wouldn't have realized you'd just got off work if you hadn't mentioned it. &nbsp;The necklace and sandals elevate the outfit above just a tee and shorts. &nbsp;They make the outfit look casual but still purposeful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986697 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 13:09:25 +0000 Karie 986697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I get the impression you are a tell-it-like-it-is, straightforward person IRL - and I really like that about you. I am away on vacation and haven't had the chance to check in much, so I haven't read the posts on form etiquette. I like the outfits you post and how you post them - I think it reflects who you are - real life, down to earth, "this is me everyday" - and that's fantastic!</p> <p>I like your shorts outfit, and am wearing something extremely similar today. And I've had my shorts for for almost 5 years </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986692 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 12:50:42 +0000 Suz 986692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the real life stuff. This is super elevated for 90 degree and no air temps. You should have seen me last week. (Well, actually, you will, eventually, when I get it together to upload a couple of shots.)&nbsp;</p> <p>Seriously, to me, this is casual sophisticate. The top is fluid. The necklace is sharp. The shorts are relaxed. The sandals go so well with them and altogether, it looks comfortable yet chic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986682 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 12:05:15 +0000 Beth Ann 986682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo:&nbsp; real life posts are a great part of YLF, and you do them well!&nbsp; Thanks!<br />The necklace and shoes have great punch, and the simple silhouette is a great choice for a hot day.&nbsp; I'd have to have my hair up!&nbsp; (of course, yours is so pretty down). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986679 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 11:31:28 +0000 Anonymous 986679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your small changes work so well. Your pieces fit well and are interesting. The sandals are great, the white T brightens you up, and with that fab necklace and your gorgeous hair you are set! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986648 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 07:13:43 +0000 rachylou 986648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this. The sandals and shorts go so well together, and the necklace caught my eye right away. It's the right necklace. Your tee hits at the right place too. Sometimes I personally am really off about that, and look like I've cut myself off... I think I have shrunk a lot of shirts, I don't know how. I rarely use the dryer. But I guess it only takes once... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986640 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 06:56:09 +0000 CocoLion 986640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree it's a cute real life look! &nbsp;The sandals and the necklace elevate the look, while the tee and the shorts are neutral and could go in different directions. &nbsp;You have fantastic hair, but you already know that. &nbsp;;-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986632 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 06:34:56 +0000 Marley 986632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well - I think this looks really cute - and perfect for an after-work kind of let your hair down chill out until it cools off solution!&nbsp; I dress like this aLOT in the summer time when I am going back and forth with the shelter animals.&nbsp; Its real life clothes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986619 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 05:53:39 +0000 Mo 986619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops I always forget that - he's stuffed. &nbsp;Been resigned for 10 years now. &nbsp;But we love him just as much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986618 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 05:51:50 +0000 Lantana 986618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing. I always like to see your pooch. He has such a look of resignation. Mine are good at that too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2-items-away-from-uniform#post-986612 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 05:29:47 +0000 Mo 986612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After work and if I may say, sweaty and hot. &nbsp;90's and no air waiting tables. &nbsp;Ugh. &nbsp;I brought sandals and a plain white tee. Kept the same shorts, ditched the apron and let down my hair.&nbsp;&nbsp; Added the necklace, which a gentleman commented on at the grocery on the way home," I&nbsp;<i>really</i> like your necklace" :)&nbsp;<br />Still felt kind of grungy window shopping to kill an hour until the sun went down at home (also no a/c).</p> <p>Ah, well, no hiding running 8 or 9 miles at work by just changing a shirt, is there? &nbsp;;)</p> <p>Hah, that's funny - I must be feeling small. &nbsp;Will do a crop shot.</p> <p></p> <p>EDIT: in light of all the recent forum etiquette talk - this is merely me sharing. I tend to like to show day to day, non occasion, not planned, on the fly, real life scrambling outfits that are basically my life. &nbsp;I would never put this on a pedestal as what to wear, just so we're clear. &nbsp;I mean, I've had the capris/now shorts for almost 9 years now&nbsp;;)</p>
