Sounds like a set of sweaters/light jackets would do you well for the office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---transitional-dressing#post-1845164 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 14:33:16 +0000 Christina F. 1845164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Joy</b>, sadly, there's no getting to the nest without knocking out our wall. We live in an an apartment building, and the fire escape is nowhere near the nest, which is in an old disused a/c nook under our window. On the outside, the nook is covered with a grate, but I guess there's enough space for the birds to get in. If our building opens our wall removes the nest, they'll just throw it out, since they've been trying to reduce the number of birds in our alley (we face the inside of a U-shaped building, but live by Central Park, so... birds.) We see opening our wall as a last resort, and will try caulking where the wall meets the floor first.We have cats, so applying pesticides is also something we have to research carefully. We already tried food grade diatomaceous earth, which is safe.</p> <p>On a happier note, I love my metallic shoes, too!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---transitional-dressing#post-1845161 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 14:22:34 +0000 Anonymous 1845161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your poor legs! I would be tempted to move that nest and put out food for those birds hoping that they would eat it and leave me alone. I like 2 and 10 best and admire your metallic shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---transitional-dressing#post-1845157 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 13:59:42 +0000 Muffin 1845157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is your dress in #5? I love it! I put most of my summer brights and whites away and realized I don't have much for the transition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---transitional-dressing#post-1845153 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 13:43:51 +0000 Christina F. 1845153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Barbara Diane!</b> I love&nbsp; that kimonos have come in.</p> <p>The temps are&nbsp; about 80 degrees, which is normal for September, but of course I've already put some of my clothes that are summer-only away. I find that every day has been a little bit hotter than the predictions. Makes me glad I'm working for an org that works on climate change....</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---transitional-dressing#post-1844936 Thu, 14 Sep 2017 16:38:49 +0000 Barbara Diane 1844936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First I was going to say I love you in dresses, but #10 is my favorite.<br />Isn't it annoying/frustrating when the weather is not as expected.<br />Here first we were way warmer than normal, now colder than normal. And the weather predictions have been way off, making it so challenging to plan.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---transitional-dressing#post-1844610 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 17:52:55 +0000 Laura G 1844610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is the blue dress with the jean jacket, but you look great in all your dresses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---transitional-dressing#post-1844593 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 16:20:02 +0000 Christina F. 1844593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My ankle was pretty eaten up, <b>Sisi</b>. I wouldn't have minded so much if it had been bites scattered around, but it looked bad. I finally had to start sleeping with leggings tucked into socks, and I hate sleeping with socks unless it's very cold. The bites also take a couple of weeks to fade completely, and aren't so common to see on people here int he city (where the first thought would be bed bugs, I'm sure). </p> <p>But the weather and need to cover does lend itself to long dresses!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---transitional-dressing#post-1844589 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 15:57:52 +0000 Sisi 1844589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are very pretty outfits and I like them all, but my favorite is nr. 1. You look fab&nbsp;in a long dress !&nbsp;As per the bites, in Summer&nbsp;my legs&nbsp;are always covered with mosquito and spider bites, but I wear my dresses no matter what -&nbsp;after all I live in an area that is famous for mosquitoes, so being covered with mosquito bites is the norm here. :)</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---transitional-dressing#post-1844586 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 15:37:45 +0000 Christina F. 1844586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Joyce, </b>you must like those shoes, then!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---transitional-dressing#post-1844578 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 15:11:07 +0000 Joyce B 1844578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your outfits are very nice and also polished. My favorites are 6 and 7, YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---transitional-dressing#post-1844567 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 14:29:54 +0000 Christina F. 1844567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are a few outfits from the last month or so. We're transitioning to fall, but even August was unusually cool for NYC, for the most part. </p> <p>I was trying to wear all my summer dresses to assess them, but temps plunged too early. August is usually sweltering and humid here. I am now trying to wear some in a transitional way (see 7 and 9; the latter is today). But it's been hard - I have bites on my legs from getting bitten at night. It's bird mites from an abaondoned nest, not bed bugs. Birds may have taken the nest up again, so I hope to be seeing the end of that. I digress. My poor dresses and skirts have been languishing, is the point!</p> <p>I am still trying to cultivate a polished but casual work look. I think I succeed some days better than others. Polish is not my strong suit. I don't make an effort to do my makeup lately, and my hair is something I was never good at styling. </p> <p>And yeah, I wear the same cardigan a lot. My office is cold! </p>
