Cute look, I think I am with Rachylou in terms of wearing the shirt with pants. I like the detailed analysis.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---shirt-and-skirt-for-work#post-1788610 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 10:10:20 +0000 Karin L H 1788610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice look and interesting analysis!

The black looks like burgundy on my phone. Good thing I read the description, lol. Changes everything.</p> <p>I have to admit I think this shirt would be sharper with pants. And like the idea of a little jewellery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---shirt-and-skirt-for-work#post-1787827 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 05:46:07 +0000 binkle 1787827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your succint thought process.</p> <p>Though I am also agreeing with Firecracker re: "alternative" - not knowing what the typical level of dress is at your office. </p> <p>Just a small tweak: would you consider doing a full button-up of the shirt so that there is no open collar? I think it can make more of a deliberate, yet still subtle, fashion statement. Also can help sharpen up an oversized shirt look. Maybe try a brooch at the collar too, to draw interest to your face? Something to try, though I know it can feel constricting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---shirt-and-skirt-for-work#post-1787824 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 05:26:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1787824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the outfit! You have such a great sense of style, Jenava; I like how you look polished and professional, with unusual elements. I think the design of the skirt and the booties are distinctive and chic. I would call them "alternative" in that they aren't your usual pencil skirt and pumps kind of thing. But I'm not sure how you are intending "alternative."<br />Your outfit tracking project sounds like it will be illuminating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---shirt-and-skirt-for-work#post-1787659 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 20:55:28 +0000 shedev 1787659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like how you analyzed the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---shirt-and-skirt-for-work#post-1787635 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 19:51:49 +0000 Jenava 1787635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying to keep track of how well I felt each outfit met my style goals. &nbsp;This outfit I wore to the office yesterday.</p> <p><i><u>Black a-line skirt, over-sized shirt (blue), black tights (opaque), black patent booties</u></i></p> <p>Occasion: &nbsp;<i>Work, met with Sr. Director, collaborated with direct report</i></p> <p>"Alternative" factor: &nbsp;<i>Moderate - silhouette (over-sized blouse, short a-line skirt, ankle boots)&nbsp;</i></p> <p>Comfort factor: &nbsp;<i>Moderate (shoes, tights and skirt all high, blouse, low)</i></p> <p>Appropriateness factor: &nbsp;<i>High (black bottoms with blue shirt, v. professional)</i></p> <p>Notes: &nbsp;<i>Shirt wrinkled when sitting, caught around hips too snugly. &nbsp;Considered tucking shirt, but would remove the only "alternative" factor about the outfit. &nbsp;In future, remember to always tuck this blue shirt into pants or skirts.</i></p> <p><i></i>Improvements<i>:&nbsp;</i><i>try white over-sized blouse.</i></p> <p>add jewelry - rose gold dagger studs, wedding ring. &nbsp;Consider sheer hose instead of tights to emphasize shape of skirt</p>
