I wouldn't have thought to put them together, but it's such a sophisticated look. The foxy sweater is cute!</p> <p>Great look for work too!

Long jackets are fringe trending. Your style crush Rachel Zoe has many in her collection this season).</p> <p>Denise, you and Tanya have blown me away with your Foxy looks. Too adorable - and mega trendy -&nbsp;for words. I'm loving it.&nbsp;And your work outfit is fantastic too.

(And now I have that Cake song in my head "Short Skirt, Long Jacket") I tried a long Theory blazer recently but it was *too* long and just made me look bottom-heavy. </p> <p>That fox sweater is adorable on you, and I like the combination with grey. I think I need those booties. And you look great in your work outfit!</p> <p>ETA: I definitely demote stuff. I'm actually excited that I've just found a whole new way to demote items in my wardrobe -- I'm taking a box of stuff to Texas where my husband's ranch is! I figure we'll visit there often enough that I may as well keep clothes there, and it's a dirty working cattle ranch, so take stuff that I don't mind ruining. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---animal-sweater-and-a-work-outfit#post-1075217 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 13:53:22 +0000 Jaime 1075217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your demotions! Aren't long jackets coming in not out? What is that jacket - it looks fantastic with the striped sweater. My new stuff&nbsp;should look so good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---animal-sweater-and-a-work-outfit#post-1075215 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 13:50:28 +0000 Neel 1075215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That fox sweater is too cute!! &nbsp;And the second outfit doesn't look dated to me. &nbsp;Burgundy is very much in and so is cobalt! &nbsp;Stripes were never out ........ there you go .... a trendy outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---animal-sweater-and-a-work-outfit#post-1075129 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 12:19:30 +0000 Karie 1075129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the fox sweater! I have an owl sweater, also from Old Navy, that I love. I think the fabrication is similar (it's #8):</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-learning-curve-october">The Learning Curve, October</a></p> <p>I usually demote winter sweaters&nbsp;from work to casual weekend wear. If I end up not wearing them even for that, then out the door they go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---animal-sweater-and-a-work-outfit#post-1075114 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 11:46:56 +0000 Suz 1075114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smiling that you and Tanya posted the sweater on the same day! It's fun on you!&nbsp;</p> <p>And I like the work look, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Very interesting about demotions. I can't really do this as there is nothing to demote to. I do have one sweater which I used to wear out but now wear only for loungewear.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---animal-sweater-and-a-work-outfit#post-1075103 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 10:54:44 +0000 Anonymous 1075103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun sweater!</p> <p>I like your work look a lot too.

And your work outfit is fab. Great idea to demote older pieces:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---animal-sweater-and-a-work-outfit#post-1075045 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 06:42:56 +0000 kellygirl 1075045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and Tanya are foxy twins!

It is interesting to see the shift in your style CL. I feel that your look has become&nbsp;softer, edgier &amp; more creative looking all at the same time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---animal-sweater-and-a-work-outfit#post-1075035 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 06:21:47 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1075035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore the fox sweater on you! The whole outfit is fab, with those great neutrals. <br />The work outfit is fun--why not wear old favorites to work, if you can do so? My demotions are more from "things I would wear to get together with friends" to "things I'll wear when I'm not planning to leave the house, other than maybe do an errand." For work I dress a little less casual than I do on my days off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---animal-sweater-and-a-work-outfit#post-1075025 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 05:58:06 +0000 Adelfa 1075025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look delicious in that camel color, and I love it with the gray.</p> <p>I demote tees. But maybe less so now because I'm trying not to wear them to work as much in the first place </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---animal-sweater-and-a-work-outfit#post-1075024 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 05:51:34 +0000 catgirl 1075024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both!&nbsp; Tanya just posted this sweater - if only it was a color I could wear!&nbsp; I love the longer jacket and am on the hunt for a current one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---animal-sweater-and-a-work-outfit#post-1075019 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 05:44:54 +0000 Ingunn 1075019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous fox sweater! I also like your workwear a lot. In my lifestyle, demoting usually means garden work wear, so no blazers for that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---animal-sweater-and-a-work-outfit#post-1075010 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 05:34:28 +0000 lyn* 1075010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adore that sweater ... what does the fox say? ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>"I have awesome glasses" ? :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---animal-sweater-and-a-work-outfit#post-1075008 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 05:33:10 +0000 AJ 1075008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LUV #1! You do minimalist cool cat so well! #2 still looks current to me, but then again I'm not in your advanced style league. I actually don't demote, I just donate pieces that don't sing to me anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---animal-sweater-and-a-work-outfit#post-1075005 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 05:29:36 +0000 Scarlet 1075005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that fox sweater! And I agree it is a nice color on you. I would be very impressed to be served by you in that outfit. It looks very pulled together and I like the bold stripes. Strangely enough I am not much of a demoter. I try to take good care of my things, but sometimes I love something so much I don't demote or move on when I should. Last week my boss asked me if my baby got my shoulder in the morning, when really it was just a slightly bleached out spot on my favorite tunic. I love the tunic and usually I color in the spot with a marker, but it always washes out again, and that particular morning I had no time and figured no one would notice. Well, I guess I won't make that mistake again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---animal-sweater-and-a-work-outfit#post-1075000 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 05:23:21 +0000 LoveSarahDub 1075000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That fox sweater is precious! And I love the colbalt stripes!</p> <p>I think you look GREAT!...clogs, apron, and all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---animal-sweater-and-a-work-outfit#post-1074997 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 05:20:09 +0000 CocoLion 1074997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got this fox sweater on the cheap at Old Navy. &nbsp;It called to me because of a childhood nickname, kind of silly and I shall spare you the details. &nbsp;;-)<span>&nbsp; I like the camel color, which I am starting to learn is a good neutral on me. &nbsp;</p> <p>And in picture 2 you are seeing a rare work outfit. &nbsp;Parsley recently posted <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tux-jacket-and-olive-jeans">an outfit with a&nbsp;longer blazer </a>and wondered if that jacket&nbsp;style was still relevant. &nbsp;My advice was to pair it with trendy items. &nbsp;Well I have ignored my own advice and here you see me wearing a trio of pieces around 3 years old. &nbsp;My thinking was that, as I was unsure about these pieces, I could try demoting them to my work capsule. &nbsp;Yes my work wardrobe contains demoted pieces because they get stained being a server. &nbsp;I do not feel comfortable wearing valuable or new things at least.</p> <p>I am happy with how this turned out, clogs, apron&nbsp;and all.&nbsp; Happy to have a different look (it is so slow now I am less concerned about looking the food service professional). &nbsp;Although I've moved onto different looks for my non-work outfits, I am happy to give these older pieces one last bit of life.<br /></span><div><br />Thanks for looking and commenting. &nbsp;What about you, do you demote?</div> </p>
