If your workplace doesn't "encourage sartorial experimentation" as you so graciously put it, someone has to start to push the envelope.<br /> When I was still teaching I wore a hitched skirt with an eyelet underskirt. Someone pulled me aside to whisper that my slip was showing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---oops--too-wacky-for-work/page/2#post-814060 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:13:44 +0000 rute 814060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, it's perfect!

And that jacket is NOT too small. It's closed and there is no pulling anywhere. It's just *cropped* or shrunken. I LOVE it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---oops--too-wacky-for-work/page/2#post-628486 Fri, 25 May 2012 13:30:59 +0000 HelenInCanada 628486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it, love it, love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---oops--too-wacky-for-work/page/2#post-628478 Fri, 25 May 2012 13:15:44 +0000 Amy 628478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all of your nice comments, ladies. </p> <p>The climate of my office doesn't really encourage sartorial experimentation, but sometimes I can't help myself.</p> <p>DragonflyJane, it's McCalls 6321.

Maybe this is a different style that your coworkers are not used to yet. They will adjust to it the next time you wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---oops--too-wacky-for-work#post-628443 Fri, 25 May 2012 11:58:09 +0000 DragonflyJane 628443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving this look, I certainly don't think it's too wacky for work at all. What pattern did you use to make the dress? I'd love to try something similar myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---oops--too-wacky-for-work#post-628423 Fri, 25 May 2012 11:09:42 +0000 greenglove 628423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look on you! That jacket is the perfect shape with that skirt!<br /> You look just gorgeous, the colors are so elegant! You were being stared at because of how great you look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---oops--too-wacky-for-work#post-628410 Fri, 25 May 2012 09:07:06 +0000 RoseandJoan 628410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a glorious outfit which really accentuates your tiny waist. Besides, confusing your coworkers can sometimes be fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---oops--too-wacky-for-work#post-628399 Fri, 25 May 2012 06:45:38 +0000 fieldmouse 628399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A very cool outfit! I -love- this kind of silhouette and wear it all the time. Could it be you were a little self-conscious about others' reactions, so it simply seemed to you that they were staring at your skirt hips, when their eyes/glances were moving the same way they usually would? OTOH, if they -were- staring, then they were probably just unused to this type of silhouette, in which case you should wear it to work more often to habituate them to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---oops--too-wacky-for-work#post-628397 Fri, 25 May 2012 06:38:33 +0000 christieanne 628397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's just a beautiful fabric and artistic, lovely skirt. I love the silhouette with shrunken jacket (and it totally looks on purpose) but obviously the workmates don't appreciate sartorial splendor. You need some occasions to wear this - gallery or opera or ballet! It's fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---oops--too-wacky-for-work#post-628384 Fri, 25 May 2012 06:10:03 +0000 bj1111 628384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love...one of your best. that skirt shape is so now. the jacket really shows off your waist. fun fun fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---oops--too-wacky-for-work#post-628354 Fri, 25 May 2012 05:29:06 +0000 Lantana 628354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would stare too, in admiration. The dress looks good and so do you in it. Perhaps your work mates found it inrtiguing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---oops--too-wacky-for-work#post-628343 Fri, 25 May 2012 05:15:21 +0000 fashionista 628343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW!!!! They might have been staring due to admiration. Perfect outfit combination one can think of. And you look glowing in this outfit. Continue wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---oops--too-wacky-for-work#post-628335 Fri, 25 May 2012 05:09:10 +0000 Deborah 628335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy havent read all the comments but wow!!!

It's gorgeous. I understand conservative environments, and I also get the desire to dress more creatively. This is one of my favorites of yours! </p>
