I like all your colored and blue jeans! It's great to have an option to go sleeveless in the summer (and I love your pairing of sleeveless tops with vests). The blouse and jacket in #3 are gorgeous, too.</p> <p>Don't see why sleeveless would ever be frowned upon - it actually works best under lab coats, in my opinion.</p> <p>We have so many lab coats that I ended up buying special "super strength clips" for my lab to make it easier to keep lab coats up on the hooks (the coats come without the little fabric loop for hanging). I also picked the clips so that my students got some that match their favorite colors (green and pink, just like the colored tape on their boxes and racks). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629550 Sat, 26 May 2012 18:27:19 +0000 catgirl 629550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Kellygirl - I admire your lovely figure in every one of your posts.

Three cheers!!</p> <p>You look beautiful in all your outfits, Tanya. I'm so glad that you are enjoying your coloured jeans - they were made for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629510 Sat, 26 May 2012 17:50:41 +0000 Scarlet 629510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look super! I really like 3. Great news about the sleeveless tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629410 Sat, 26 May 2012 15:54:14 +0000 Amy 629410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great week! I also am a big fan the outfit in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629395 Sat, 26 May 2012 15:35:09 +0000 Tanya 629395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much everybody! I really appreciate your comments.</p> <p>The option to go sleeveless is certainly going to change work dressing in he summer a lot for better. Now I have two summery formulas for jeans: the original one from a couple of weeks ago with woven top+knitted ( or in general casual) blazer and this new version where the blazer is being replaced by a vest. I really like having options!</p> <p>He he Diana, would you guess it, what I was called the first time I wore my emerald skinnies? Leprechaun, of course! Especially the second time around when I wore them tonally with a lighter green shirt. I find these descriptions quite amusing, as the person who comes up with them is a good friend and not mean at all. There was even a suggestion to make me a hat from the bright blue lab gloves to complete my smurphette look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629387 Sat, 26 May 2012 15:26:01 +0000 Anonymous 629387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful as always. I'd say there's a HUGE difference between spaghetti straps and the type of modestly sleeveless blouses and vests you're wearing here! Very professional looking IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629379 Sat, 26 May 2012 15:20:09 +0000 kellygirl 629379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so good, Tanya! I mean you have the MOST enviable figure. You look positively gorgeous in all of these. I love how you wear cropped jackets--the proportions are alway so spot on. You wear colored denim like a fashion blogger! WOW! Awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629357 Sat, 26 May 2012 15:11:19 +0000 Jonesy 629357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific news about the sleeveless non-ban at work :)! My faves are 3 and 6, but they are all fun, springy, and stylish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629302 Sat, 26 May 2012 13:53:41 +0000 Diana 629302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back, denim! Hooray for being able to wear sleeveless tops, too. I really love how you have layered the waistcoat over sleeveless tops in the last 2 outfits... must remember to try this sometime.<br /> And, um, yeah, I don't see smurf at all. But I'll wear my leprechaun dress (coined by, you guessed it, someone in my lab) and we can hang out together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629296 Sat, 26 May 2012 13:44:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 629296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic fitting jeans in beautiful colours plus sleeveless top should be your go-to formula Tanya - FABULOUS!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629276 Sat, 26 May 2012 13:06:56 +0000 rae 629276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woohoo, how great that you get to go sleeveless! You have your formula down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629274 Sat, 26 May 2012 12:56:36 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 629274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 is outstanding. I love the lines and color. Very nice and this type of outfit could easily be a formula for those days when you are rushed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629271 Sat, 26 May 2012 12:35:48 +0000 Emily 629271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look great!

My favorites are 3 and 4. How nice you can wear sleeveless tops. Just in time for the summer heat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629245 Sat, 26 May 2012 10:03:47 +0000 transition 629245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm new here, but #3 is my favorite, and I don't see any smurfette in #6. I'm guessing whoever said that just doesn't like blue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629219 Sat, 26 May 2012 07:55:31 +0000 CocoLion 629219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #4, it is so dramatic. All of that black, then white near your face. I have been thinking a lot about how to transform my black wardrobe. Basically, black is unflattering on me. I like your idea of wearing a light jacket. It's so simple but really works.</p> <p>All of the other outfits are cute and fun as well. You really know how to dress to create a flattering, modern silhouette Tanya! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629197 Sat, 26 May 2012 05:34:39 +0000 goldenpig 629197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab week! You have a great collection of colored denim and cropped jackets! I think my fave is #3 but they're alll great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629196 Sat, 26 May 2012 05:19:11 +0000 Tanya 629196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much, everybody! It was like a family reunion getting to wear my denim after two denim-free weeks. I need to make sure my outfits are more balanced next week, otherwise I will get boring.</p> <p>Christeanne, lab coat rules are very strange. Yes, I wear one when I am at the bench. However, there are a lot of areas where one is not allowed to wear one. Or one must wear disposable lab coats instead of regular versions. As a result, everyone in the lab ends up putting lab coats on and off multiple times a day. So for at least some part of the day, the whole outfit I am wearing is visible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629155 Sat, 26 May 2012 04:25:34 +0000 christieanne 629155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that new blouse - such a pretty ruffle. Also those pink jeans - fun. Bet you are happy to get back into jeans but you did so beautifully on your non-denim challenge weeks as well. </p> <p> Do you wear a lab coat over your top? Just curious if that makes a difference on choice of tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629113 Sat, 26 May 2012 03:27:42 +0000 Lisa 629113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a super colored denim collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629101 Sat, 26 May 2012 03:10:33 +0000 Meredith1953 629101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so great in jeans!

You also wear cropped toppers beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629085 Sat, 26 May 2012 02:48:41 +0000 Suz 629085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It must feel great to get back into your jeans - not to mention sleeveless tops in the heat. I would LOVE a vest like the one in # 6. That is wonderful on you!! I really like #3, too. The colours are gorgeous together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629067 Sat, 26 May 2012 02:19:07 +0000 Beth Ann 629067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All are wonderful, but I'm loving #3! Glad to hear that sleeveless will past muster at your workplace! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629061 Sat, 26 May 2012 02:12:13 +0000 Kiwichik 629061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A veritable smorgasboard of jeans. Love the looks particularly3 &amp; 5 - I find that shade of fuschia particularly appealing &amp; love the ruffles in 3 peaking out from the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-week-in-jeans-of-all-colors-new-work-dressing-epiphany#post-629046 Sat, 26 May 2012 02:01:14 +0000 Tanya 629046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are my work outfits from this week. I was more than happy to go back to all of my jeans. The pink silk sleeveless shirt in #2 is new, based on Angie's recommendation. And today (#6) I was told that I look like a smurf(ette)! :)</p> <p>After two years of not quite knowing whether sleeveless is OK at work or not (officially it was, but unofficially I was told it is quite frowned upon) it turned out it was !!! Apparently as long as it does not include thin spaghetti straps it is fine. I was very happy about that with hot and humid weather. So my summer work formula now gets a new twist where the casual blazer is substituted by a vest (outfits #5 and #6).</p> <p>#1/2: Navy silk tunic - BR, emerald skinnies - H&amp;M, denim jacket - AE, snakeskin wedges - Bandolino</p> <p>#3: Navy knit jacket - H&amp;M, pink silk blouse - BR, cream skinnies - 7FAMK, metallic loafers - Born</p> <p>#4: White denim jacket &amp; black draped top -Express, dark wash straight jeans - R&amp;S, pewter wedges - Me Too</p> <p>#5: Cream cowl neck top - H&amp;M, grey linen pinstripe vest and pink skinnies - Express, pewter ruffly flats - Me Too</p> <p>#6: Cream cotton mote vest &amp; cobalt top - Club Monaco, light blue skinnies - Express, pewter wedges - Me Too </p>
