You look lively and energetic and bristling with energy, which is making me think about getting off the couch and doing something with my day </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks/page/2#post-2144721 Fri, 18 Sep 2020 12:05:07 +0000 anchie 2144721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fashintern - LOL - librarian is just something my DD would say. I actually enjoy her humorous comments lke magican assistant or sushi waiter. Situation here is getting out of control unfortunately. There are 38 positive cases ar work and 6 at my DD school, but still no work from home or online school. So I don’t have much patience at the moment for people who complain about not having anywhere to go - I would gladly trade places. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks/page/2#post-2144715 Fri, 18 Sep 2020 11:46:08 +0000 lyn67 2144715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this -esp. on a late (=so think already sunny:-)) morning-advance pattern mix, so very YLF!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks/page/2#post-2144714 Fri, 18 Sep 2020 11:42:15 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2144714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today’s look is fresh &amp; cute. </p> <p>You just made a point that I’ve been thinking of in relation to your post—the people you interact with at work don’t necessarily care about your style. They might dislike something just because it is unusual, so they find it a jarring interruption, and vice-versa. Does that matter? I think there are times when you need to use all the tools you’ve got, including sartorial choices that influence a person in ways they might not realize. It didn’t sound like yesterday was that kind of day, so have fun with what you wear! </p> <p>I solicit my son’s opinions sometimes. If he says “it’s fine”, I usually harass him for more. He often comes up with vivid descriptions or humorous/sarcastic comment. They don’t hurt, and can make me laugh. Then I consider what he is saying in them, and whether that point matters enough for me to change my outfit. I enjoyed the outfit in this pic, but hearing him say I look like a “librarian” tells me it doesn’t have the effect I thought. That’s useful info. </p> <p>I just saw that the Robt Koch Institute considers the state of Wien a high risk zone for Corona, and people arriving in Germany from there are required to quarantine. I hope you are well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks/page/2#post-2144705 Fri, 18 Sep 2020 05:36:17 +0000 anchie 2144705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the nice feedback and support, it was nice distraction from the stress that I have been under lately.<br /> @Runcarla - interesting that you find my family comments hurtful, because I don’t especially if I asked. Maybe I don’t take it that seriously or I am not that sensitive but I find it informative and amusing, and sometimes I agree and sometimes I don’t. Similarly like asking here, except that I don’t work with fashionable woman but with bunch if IT guys that my husband is good representative of :)<br /> Here is today’s WIW that got unsolicited thumbs up from the family. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks/page/2#post-2144698 Fri, 18 Sep 2020 03:12:59 +0000 columbine(erin) 2144698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this pattern mixing and happy color!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks/page/2#post-2144679 Fri, 18 Sep 2020 01:05:12 +0000 Carla 2144679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you need to stop asking family members for their opinion, and go with your gut. &nbsp;Their comments seem hurtful. &nbsp;Your styling of your outfits is consistently head and shoulders above the the norm.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks/page/2#post-2144676 Fri, 18 Sep 2020 00:51:36 +0000 Lucy 2144676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love it!Def advanced pattern mixing.

I'm not much of one for pattern mixing, so I would have gone with a white top most likely. But I don't know why there would be a problem with the blazer...</p> <p>I really like the hair, btw! Sometimes mine looks good right when I get up but then falls flat later. Pfft. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks/page/2#post-2144545 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 03:26:06 +0000 AJ 2144545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bright and playful!&nbsp; YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks/page/2#post-2144543 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 03:24:12 +0000 Jaime 2144543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you look fab to me.

Pattern mixing is advanced fashion for many, as I found in my previous professional life.&nbsp; One time, I had a woman say to me "I didn't know you could do that" as she looked at me up and down.&nbsp; LOL!!!&nbsp; Yes, you can, I said!!! And you did!! The pants photograph dark, but I assumed they were dark blue. Good look, and kind of summery... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks/page/2#post-2144488 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 21:00:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2144488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really, really like it! I wouldn't change a thing! An outfit worth repeating. And your morning hair even looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks/page/2#post-2144432 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 17:01:09 +0000 DonnaF 2144432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this!!! Great pattern mixing. Maybe the citron blazer is too OTT stylish for them. Hope you can add a photo that includes shoes and bag so we can admire the full effect. Don’t worry; we’ll understand the end of the day crinkles and wrinkles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks#post-2144418 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:54:48 +0000 Angie 2144418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*slaps forehead*</p> <p>You did indeed!

I did wear white bag and white slip on sneakers, see finds in OP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks#post-2144411 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:37:14 +0000 Angie 2144411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too. I see happy tension! </p> <p> I’d have finished you off with white or silver footwear/bag to tighten and freshen the palette. Add order to the chaos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks#post-2144406 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:27:05 +0000 nemosmom 2144406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's great! A definite one to repeat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks#post-2144399 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:18:18 +0000 anchie 2144399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks all for the feedback<br /> lisap - I did ask because I was unsure, but then didn’t listen anyway LOL. And BTW pants are navy and white, not black and white. I would never mix navy and black LOL, this is maybe my only strict rule </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks#post-2144397 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:12:59 +0000 Anonymous 2144397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd have repeated the blue somewhere else (blue and white checked pants instead of black/wh) or done a black/wh print top with bl/wh pants , but the patterns themselves work really well together . The yellow blazer adds the perfect bit of punch too. Don't listen to family opinions - they shouldn't say a word unless asked &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks#post-2144391 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:02:02 +0000 slim cat 2144391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it - especially cheery bright blazer! Adding black belt ( or navy ) might help separating the patterns but it'll be too predictable and not really fun. Anyway - wear it to your heart content ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---is-this-disaster-as-my-family-thinks#post-2144389 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:00:59 +0000 rachylou 2144389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What! This is fab! I’d do it in a heartbeat! </p>
