It's interesting how many of us struggle with wearing&nbsp;collared shirt + pullover/jumper sweater.</p> <p>You have such a varied style, it's fun to see several of your outfits together at once. I love 3 the best, but they're all lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teaching-workshop#post-1118663 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 09:27:36 +0000 CocoLion 1118663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 3 and 4. In that color and print the sweater and shirt look far from stuffy (in #4). They read fun person who doesn't take herself too seriously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teaching-workshop#post-1118660 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 09:09:31 +0000 Dee 1118660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jewell, thank you!&nbsp;I've never really owned button downs with prints before, just solids or stripes. Maybe that's where I've been going wrong with button downs and feeling boring.&nbsp;</p> <p>Shevia, I've been trying to step outside my usual uniform of jeans + tee/tank + cardigan this year, so I'm glad you think the tunics/dresses worked! Thanks!</p> <p>Beth Ann, thanks so much!&nbsp;#1 was actually my favorite of the lot.&nbsp;Arty-academic is a style descriptor I would love to claim! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teaching-workshop#post-1118628 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 06:45:20 +0000 Beth Ann 1118628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Joy --- cozy and fun!&nbsp; For a workshop like this, you want to seem relaxed, but still polished; energetic, but approachable.&nbsp; You nailed that.</p> <p>Love the lobster print particularly, and the arty-academic look in #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teaching-workshop#post-1118538 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 02:45:34 +0000 Jaime 1118538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific - all of them say interesting person to me and I really like the tunics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teaching-workshop#post-1118505 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 02:12:22 +0000 Jewell 1118505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! You certainly met your goal of looking pulled together while dressing comfortably. I adore looks two and four! The outfit components in #2 are especially flattering on you. And I love button downs with fun prints. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teaching-workshop#post-1117865 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 03:43:33 +0000 Dee 1117865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angela, thank you! I don't own a lot of blazers, but I fell in love with that one. In spite of the color (or maybe because of it)&nbsp;I find it pretty versatile.</p> <p>Joy, thanks for the compliment, it made my night! Cozy and fun is a great description of&nbsp;where I want to be, especially given the Calgary weather lately.</p> <p>Aubergine, I'm really glad you liked the&nbsp;shape of #3. I actually debated over that dress for awhile because I was afraid it was too short for me,&nbsp;but I decided I&nbsp;liked the graphic colorblocking&nbsp;and kept it anyway. It was an attempt at getting&nbsp;out of my comfort zone a bit.</p> <p>The lobster shirt is one of only two button-downs in my wardrobe. Not sure what that says about me, but I don't really miss the others.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teaching-workshop#post-1117800 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 02:25:34 +0000 Anonymous 1117800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those all look great! I think the dress in #3 is especially flattering with your shape, and the little lobsters on the button-down&nbsp;are adorable and definitely mitigate any hint of stuffiness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teaching-workshop#post-1117796 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 02:24:41 +0000 Anonymous 1117796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seeing these photos together gives a sense of your great style. I like 3 with the color blocking the best of all. You look cozy and fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teaching-workshop#post-1117794 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 02:19:14 +0000 Angela K 1117794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks. 2 is my favorite. The pink is really flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teaching-workshop#post-1117765 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 01:42:57 +0000 Dee 1117765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I spent most of last week in an academic teaching workshop. We each had to give&nbsp;a mini-lecture every day to our peers and then spent a lot of time giving feedback to other participants. I wanted to look put together for my presentations but also comfortable for a day of sitting at a desk and listening to others. So I can subtitle this round of WIWs as Lots of Leggings...</p> <p>1-3 are from the workshop last week.&nbsp;<br />1) Gap tunic/dress, Hue leggings, Timberland boots<br />2) Gap dress, Old Navy leggings, H&amp;M blazer, Blowfish boots<br />3) Mexx sweater dress, Old Navy leggings, Blowfish boots.</p> <p>And 4 is what I wore today. I always feel a little stuffy with a button down under a sweater (too traditionally academic, maybe?), but this pairing was cozy enough with the scrunched sleeves that I felt pretty comfortable. Picture 5 is just to give&nbsp;a close up of the lobster print on the button down, which I love!<br />4-5) Tory Burch shirt, JCrew sweater, Gap skinnies, Sorel boots</p> <p>Sorry for some of the awkward poses! I'm still working on taking good self-pictures.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and feedback is welcome!</p>
