I LOVE this, and I want that jacket. Now. Do you realize how terrific you really look? Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump/page/2#post-874802 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 20:55:56 +0000 RoseandJoan 874802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not a hint of frump in sight.</p> <p>I LOVE this look from top to toe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump/page/2#post-874796 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 20:51:48 +0000 Mia 874796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the image of you wearing the housecoat for the "bacon cooking" portion of your day. I use an apron but sometimes I think I would like a lab coat like I used to teach in for more coverage. While it's still cooler I will try the house coat. </p> <p>Your post did bring back memories of working like a person possessed while my son was asleep. He gave up the nap really early so they were challenging days but the best.</p> <p>I still have the moto boots I bought then and they are a workhorse in my wardrobe after 10 years. Look forward to the next installment cause you always look so "it girl" but entirely yourself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump/page/2#post-874781 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 20:37:41 +0000 4babiesMe 874781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I think I should do this too. I've been doing better lately (actually getting out of my yoga pants and into some jeans), but then I rarely do anything with my hair/makeup unless I have to be somewhere. It makes a huge difference to my mood and energy level when I get dressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump/page/2#post-874742 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:38:34 +0000 Sona 874742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love.</p> <p>frump factor=0<br /> fab factor=11/10!</p> <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump/page/2#post-874711 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:01:48 +0000 cciele 874711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I don't associate "frump" with you at all! And this outfit is spectacular! Love how you've styled your new blazer. Looks stylish yet comfy and non-fussy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump/page/2#post-874708 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:53:44 +0000 kellygirl 874708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done!

I am a huge fan of olive and this is such a cool look. Comfort is the clincher. If I'm home all day and it's not comfy when I'm going about my activities, I end up back in stretchy loungy stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump/page/2#post-874695 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:43:48 +0000 Suz 874695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is a fantastic outfit! You will certainly give the UPS guy a nice surprise if he stops by...total FABness here! I love seeing the jacket in action. It looks terrific. So modern, yet also practical. Dynamite, eh? Hmmmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump/page/2#post-874690 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:38:48 +0000 Raisin 874690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, you guys are funny! </p> <p>Una, the boots are Aldo. I got them on sale, which they currently still are...<br /> <a href="http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca-eng/women/boots/ankle-boots/94566629-hiral/96" rel="nofollow">http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca-en.....9-hiral/96</a><br /> They're not real leather though, but for $70 I don't mind (and you can sign up on line and get an extra 10% off!) They also look way better in person than online. </p> <p> I did also consider this real leather pair from Aldo, but they didn't have them in store and I wanted to try them on. I like the sleeker heel of the first ones though.<br /> <a href="http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca-eng/women/boots/ankle-boots/94138878-hakui/97" rel="nofollow">http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca-en.....8-hakui/97</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump#post-874665 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:07:02 +0000 Anonymous 874665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*Standing ovation *.

And I'm impressed with your ability to pull together a cute outfit while juggling baby duties. When mine were little, I wore a uniform of leggings and tunics and tried to remember to brush my hair. Not my best years! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump#post-874514 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:32:18 +0000 Anonymous 874514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic start to the week.

Killer outfit!</p> <p>I also set out my outfits the night before then when I am rolling out of bed late to get the kids ready in the morning I just grab and go! I find it only takes about 5 minutes or less to pick my things the night before and makes the morning so much smoother.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump#post-874457 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:45:29 +0000 Angie 874457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>You are clever to pop your outfit out the night before. </p> <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump#post-874454 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:42:31 +0000 annaj 874454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done!

I was unsure of how this would look styled at first, though I loved the pleather sleeved shirt in your K/R post. Well, call me a convert, because this is fashion forward but also that elusive........effortless.</p> <p>Hope your day is lovely and smooth running. I second the nap iidea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump#post-874405 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:55:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 874405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Talk about kicking off the "no frump" week with style! This is a great outfit Rae - it's very stylish and put together while still being comfortable enough for a MOTG. Love that jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump#post-874377 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:24:01 +0000 Raisin 874377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point Ornella! Off to rest after this post. I just HATE it when I just drift off to sleep....and he wakes up! Urg, that's harder than not sleeping.</p> <p>You're right about the natural fibers. I have a lot of silk and some wool. I think I will try some of this in tomorrow's outfit.</p> <p>Ok, off for a rest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump#post-874368 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:16:53 +0000 Ornella 874368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eeeerm, where is the dilemma? If the baby sleeps you too make the most of it and rest. Haven't you learnt that with your first one, lol... that was my biggest mistake ever, catching up with the house/whatever-work when the baby was sleeping, instead of resting.</p> <p>No necky-things for you, that's tricky... then I guess tops made of warm, natural materials (maybe not cotton, but wool, alpaca, cashmere, silk, would help a great deal). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump#post-874363 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:12:35 +0000 Raisin 874363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, so far I feel pretty good. I did take the jacket off and don my house coat while cooking bacon, but I think that's ok since I didn't want to ruin my clothes with spitting fat. The blazer is back on now!</p> <p>Ceit, the jacket is really cut quite well for Dynamite. Try it on I think you'll be surprised. They actually have quite a few things that I like right now. </p> <p>Ornella, good suggestion on the scarf. I do run cold! Only problem is I can't stand things on my neck. I don't do turtle necks, I have one sweater with a loose cowl, but even that is coming close to "too close". Part of it is my fault, I keep the house temp fairly low (heating is SO expensive!), so I did turn it up one degree today, and it is getting warmer out. So that helps. I like the idea of knit blazers in the house though. So far this is very comfy and is kind of just like a structured cardigan. I may need more! Baby is off for a nap now....should I lay down? Lol, maybe just on the couch, in my clothes.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump#post-874360 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:12:17 +0000 pil 874360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-of-no-frump#post-874358 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:09:06 +0000 Kalli 874358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Making me take notice of what kind of jackets that could work for me since we are similar in size. What size is that btw and from where? :)</p> <p>You look great on Day 1. However, I rolled out of bed, ugh in my defense getting up at 4am west coast time is tough. Not to mention the double whammy of daylight savings. </p>
