I'm sure that you'll look great in the Pob as well, but I REALLY love yours right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---working-9-to-5#post-606255 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 03:04:45 +0000 Kiwichik 606255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann you have a good memory - yes I just bought a pencil skirt but haven't gotten up the nerve to wear it yet.</p> <p>Shannon - oops sorry about that hope you know more than the first line or it would have driven you insane having that on constant loop in your head.</p> <p>Una I have been admiring your haircut so I hope I have the patience to keep growing mine - I like the idea of it swishing round my face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---working-9-to-5#post-606092 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 00:09:58 +0000 catgirl 606092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love you in this color! You just glow with happy radiance.</p> <p>I have a version of that bob and ADORE it. Mine is more extreme but it gives me the joy of length with the ease of short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---working-9-to-5#post-606038 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 22:59:06 +0000 Transcona Shannon 606038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BTW Kiwichik - I had that song in my head ALL DAY after reading your post!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---working-9-to-5#post-606011 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 22:29:38 +0000 Beth Ann 606011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is one of my favorite colors, too! These looks show a certain "signature style," and I think your rubric is shining through. I love the idea of you "wafting" around the office -- must be the diva in me. </p> <p>The anorak is terrific -- both practical and modern, which isn't easy to accomplish, and I think the longer length in the hair will work. My angled cut is longer than this, and I don't have the problems that Christianne had, although I'm wondering if I'll like it so well in the heat of summer!</p> <p>BTW -- Didn't you just buy a pencil skirt? I think the top/sweater in #2 would be fab paired with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---working-9-to-5#post-605883 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:15:43 +0000 Kiwichik 605883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mandipa I think I was just feeling a bit bored with my usual work uniform and I got to bust out with the cape on Friday.</p> <p>The cobalt theme wasn't intetntional but is one of my fav colours </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---working-9-to-5#post-605863 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 18:57:47 +0000 ManidipaM 605863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief, we just *have* to see you in inspired mode sometime soon, if this is what your *uninspired* is like!</p> <p>Either that cobalt is your signature colour, like Kirti said, or you are super coordinated through the week. Is that to make laundry easier or is it capsule dressing? All of the above?</p> <p>I can't imagine that stunning poncho *not * drawing comment, but I have to say how much I love the first two layered outfits as well. Choosing a favourite proved beyond my abilities, so I refuse to even try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---working-9-to-5#post-605845 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 18:37:50 +0000 Kiwichik 605845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>christieanne thanks for the advice on the hair - if it gets too annoying I can always chop it again.</p> <p>CocoLion &amp; Meredith - thanks for the support it's 6:41am on Saturday morning here &amp; I'm still in my PJs but feeling fab after reading your comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---working-9-to-5#post-605815 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 18:03:57 +0000 Meredith1953 605815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kiwichik,<br /> These are all beautiful on you! I agree with others that cobalt is fantastic on you! The cobalt poncho is just amazing! You haircut is very chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---working-9-to-5#post-605811 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 18:00:20 +0000 CocoLion 605811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello beautiful Kiwichick! You look so stylin' in all these pictures and you rock that jacket (in #3) better than 99.9% of the adult population. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---working-9-to-5#post-605801 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 17:51:03 +0000 christieanne 605801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Poncho is bold and fun and an amazing color. I like your haircut as you show in the pics. I recently had my nearly shoulder length growing out bob angled with the longer part in front and I do like it but I tend to push my hair around during the day and the longer part looks odd when I tuck it or move it away from face - just a thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---working-9-to-5#post-605792 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 17:44:59 +0000 Kiwichik 605792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow ladies I was feeling a bit blah about my wardrobe choices this week &amp; after reading your comments feel so much better. </p> <p>Deb the poncho is from a NZ department store - Farmers (smaller scale version of Myers) &amp; is their home brand - Ignite.</p> <p>The poncho was my favourite look this week - drew lots of compliments as I wafted around the office (I'm lucky that I can wear almost anything to work). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---working-9-to-5#post-605489 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 14:05:39 +0000 Kirti 605489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore that poncho on you! Cobalt really is YOUR colour </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---working-9-to-5#post-605463 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 13:38:14 +0000 Transcona Shannon 605463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an uninspired week? I beg to differ! This looks like a GREAT week!</p> <p>First off, I love your hair! Thanks for the close up shot - gorgeous!<br /> You also look fantastic is any shade of purple or cobalt blue - this should be your signature colour! I adore the shape of the poncho on you.</p> <p>Looking good Kiwichik! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---working-9-to-5#post-605409 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 12:03:12 +0000 jayne 605409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of the cobalt outfits really suit you with your dark hair! Love!</p> <p>Great Rubic BTW </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---working-9-to-5#post-605385 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 11:06:56 +0000 JennyAnne 605385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's nothing wrong with like blue and black. I think the VB hair will be fabulous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---working-9-to-5#post-605356 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 09:34:54 +0000 Deborah 605356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kiwichik, I think you had quite an inspired week! </p> <p>#1 is very glamorous looking. Great color and I like the effect of the cardi eatimg blouse.</p> <p>#2 similar but different, I like this silhouette very much.</p> <p>#3 is lovely. Where is the poncho from? It's quite striking. Love it.</p> <p>And I think your hair would look great at VB's length, but I do love it the wY you wear it now. Ot suits you, is tres chic and very cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---working-9-to-5#post-605348 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 08:01:42 +0000 Kiwichik 605348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what a way to make a living barely getting by it's all taking and no giving....</p> <p>Humm along as you read my post....</p> <p>Anyway back to the serious stuff.
