I think if colour can offset the surprise, this would be my choice.</p> <p>I hate the way you were informed. Bam, out of the blue!&nbsp;Brings back memories of when similar thing happened at one&nbsp;old workplace and 60% of staff who came to the office thinking it was&nbsp;day like any other&nbsp;were wiped off the payroll by midday. Awful. Those of us who remained were rattling in the enormous building and it never felt the same again.&nbsp;The changes you're heading to will continue to be stressful for a while, I am sure. Better to be prepared. But, it's good you're moving to a new office, at least you're not staying in the old environment which would make transition to the new way of working much harder I think. New everything, clean slate in a way&nbsp;is sometimes better. Good luck. I hope the commute will not be more difficult. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---for-big-changes#post-1194394 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:35:47 +0000 JamC 1194394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great on you! &nbsp;It is professional. &nbsp;You might have stood out but in a good way! &nbsp;Good wishes for the future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---for-big-changes#post-1194390 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:31:27 +0000 Lantana 1194390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fresh, charming and approachable and I cannot imagine you making any other than a positive impression.

Even for the curveball that the day served up. It's a good outfit. Think of it as your own power suit. It powered you thru a tough day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---for-big-changes#post-1194186 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 02:48:23 +0000 gardenchick 1194186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice!

The red should have gotten you noticed in a good way because you look professional and confident. Good luck with the transition! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---for-big-changes#post-1193394 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:24:16 +0000 texstyle 1193394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That does sound like quite a surprise - but you looked great and red is a great "power" color so I think it was actually a good thing from a fashion standpoint. Here's to a successful merge - you'll have some new workmates to get to know, which could be fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---for-big-changes#post-1193378 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:15:39 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1193378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the high contrast in this outfit is powerful Sara and as it turns out, perfect for the day. It can definitely be stressful when there are changes afoot, especially when they are changes out of your control. You look fantastic in this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---for-big-changes#post-1193369 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:08:39 +0000 LACeleste 1193369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sara,</p> <p>Work transitions can be challenging but you look incredible! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---for-big-changes#post-1193368 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:08:03 +0000 Beth Ann 1193368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think, at a time like this, it's good to be visible. &nbsp;Perhaps red -- a universally strong color and a symbol of good luck, was the perfect choice. &nbsp;You're wearing it with a classic, professional silhouette.</p> <p>Hope the transition goes well for you!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---for-big-changes#post-1193366 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:06:53 +0000 Sarah A 1193366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think red white and black are classics together and you look very professional. Sorry to hear of the work turmoil. Hoping everything settles down soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---for-big-changes#post-1193358 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:04:36 +0000 Lisa 1193358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I like this look, and the high contrast.&nbsp; Red is supposed to be a power color.&nbsp; Maybe that will work in your favor having met the new boss in red? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---for-big-changes#post-1193318 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 13:39:14 +0000 Sara L. 1193318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At our office staff meeting yesterday morning we were all informed that we are no longer employees of Company A, but are now all employees of Company B. &nbsp;My current company (which is a tiny family owned company with only 6 employees)&nbsp;had merged with Company B. &nbsp;We will have the same boss, but&nbsp;be moving into new offices, new HR paperwork, etc. &nbsp;It's been a little stressful. </p> <p>I wore this outfit with no idea that yesterday was going to be different than any other day. &nbsp;The president of the new company was in town to talk to us about the transition. &nbsp;I wouldn't have chosen this if I known that. &nbsp;While the outfit is appropriately professional, I wouldn't have worn something so bright and high contrast.&nbsp;</p> <p>The tights are grey, which Day Vies suggested last time I wore this skirt. &nbsp;I was going to wear grey boots also but the greys were too different and the grey tights ended up looking almost lavender against the grey boots. &nbsp;I like the look of the grey tights here.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and any comments or suggestions are more than welcome. </p>
