I know the first outfit is not everyone's cuppa due to high color mixing. But I do love the purple with the green and blue here.<br />Your two favorites are one outfit - pic 4 &nbsp;is with my coat on over pic 3. Lots of love for pic#3 -&nbsp;I need to figure out why that worked!<br />You're spot on with the chunky turtleneck and skirt. I was dressing down that skirt (first wear in over a year because I always feel it is so dressy). I'll be working on more options with that thanks!<br />I was afraid to add more with the vest outfit - I thought the vest has a lot going on and didn't know how to add color. Come to think of it I've only wore that vest with neutrals. I will have try to layer it over something brighter next.<br />I wasn't sure about the coral showing through that white shirt either. The shirt is so thin. But I too liked the little hits of color. hmm.<br />Thank you again for your opinions and suggestions!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--feb-into-march#post-1629121 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 12:37:32 +0000 Anonymous 1629121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna, I think you are succeeding in your goal to be more dressy at work.<br /> The first outfit, I'm not so sure about the green and purple together. I would probably wear jeans here.<br /> The second outfit with your red scarf is completely awesome and the shoes are a nice repeat of the top's colour. The third outfit with your red jacket again looks awesome. 2/3 smart casual outfits are my favorites, I think.<br /> 4th outfit with the chunky blue Knit sweater: With this I think there is a style discrepancy between the casual top and the dressy bottom. I would pick a dark top with the skirt.<br /> 5th outfit with red jacket, earrings and stripes shirt is completely fabulous.<br /> Sixth outfit with cobalt and white is fabulous (love the shoes!).<br /> Outfit in pic #10 with the beige vest I think needs some colour. Maybe a scarf.<br /> Outfit with the red shirt under the white one makes the white shirt look a bit pink. Not sure about this one as I do like the little hints of red.<br /> Pic 13-16 are great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--feb-into-march#post-1629117 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 12:27:00 +0000 MTBGirl 1629117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you shevia. I wonder about light colored shoes on me. I love them but my hair isn't that light. But you think they are ok. And light neutrals too. You've both given me lots to think about and experiment!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--feb-into-march#post-1629039 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 03:40:24 +0000 Jaime 1629039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3! You look great in light colored shoes. I really see how it lights up your hair (taking notes). #10 serious vest inspiration! Completely agree with Angie's assessment regarding light neutrals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--feb-into-march#post-1629026 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 02:47:31 +0000 MTBGirl 1629026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>L'Abeille your choice of words touches me deeply. (someone from my past just passed away and used to use that phrase when he was deeply moved). Thank you. I was so unsure about #10.<br />Thank you Barbara Diane.<br />Thank you Rachylou (secret code!) and I will remind you to wear your red skirt. I don't think I've seen it yet? When does the rain stop in your area? Are you in northern CA? I used to live in the San Joaquin Valley.<br />Thank you Angie. And for the K on 10! I've worn that vest probably 6 times and I always wonder if I'm styling it okay. So you like me in light neutrals best?</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--feb-into-march#post-1628982 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 00:24:57 +0000 Angie 1628982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to see you post again, Donna. I like the outfits with the LIGHT neutrals best. #3, 4, 8, 10 and 16. Nicely done.&nbsp;</p> <p>I vote #10 is Killer.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--feb-into-march#post-1628960 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 23:29:59 +0000 rachylou 1628960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3!!! And also 8, 10, and 16... But 3!! (This is secret code.) Remind me that wear my red skirt as soon as it stops raining. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--feb-into-march#post-1628954 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 23:17:16 +0000 Barbara Diane 1628954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of wonderful outfits. Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--feb-into-march#post-1628953 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 23:01:54 +0000 L'Abeille 1628953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoah Nelly 8 is a stunner with the split blue tunic and white pants. Also the vest outfit in 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--feb-into-march#post-1628946 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 22:32:31 +0000 MTBGirl 1628946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been working on kicking up my smart casual work outfits a notch. (As in dressier and more interesting) And also my style resolution of wearing my jewelry every day. I've been taking lots of pictures but didn't want to post them. It's funny how something feels great and looks good-I think, then when I look at the picture it's like ew. So I decided to post some for feedback to see what you think works and what doesn't, and also to have history of outfits. <b></b>Please feel free to skip the text.<b></b></p> <p>pic #1-2 = Felt great in this and loved the color mixing. Old orphan purple sweater (due to being too short) layered over LLBean periwinkle button shirt, olive jeans and blue Muk Luks winter ankle boots. Diamond circle necklace and silver dolphin ring.<br />#3-4 = Clearance BR sweater, very old light-wash bootcut favorites, burgundy Cashmink scarf and Bucco ivory fur-lined ankle boots. Thought this was ok for a cold Friday.&nbsp;Liked the scarf with the coat. I get a kick out of how the embellishment on the sweater reminds me of the candy buttons from childhood! CWC Pearl snowman earrings.<br />#5 = Same formula as my "Saved skirt" post. BR turtleneck and Talbots mosaic tile print wool skirt. Matching SIL cloudy blue earrings and bracelet. I liked my nude tights with this. Are they ok?<br />#6-7 =&nbsp;BR black/grey/white striped top, JJill black skirt, LA Orange blazer, old black suede boots. Rustish "pearl" drop earrings and gold/onyx dolphin ring. Again not&nbsp;sure about the tights, so I swapped the nude for black. ?<br />#8-9 = BR cobalt zip tunic layered over old orphan Chico's cobalt turtleneck (due to being too short), Talbots white jeans and new Asos white shoes. Pearl and chains necklace and cuff. Felt elegant in this but not sure it looks that way. I tried this tunic over other shirts so I can wear it all winter but I think I only like it layered over low contrast (to avoid what I thought looked like a star trek outfit on me). I look forward to wearing it without a layer. I wish the jeans didn't look so wrinkly.<br />#10-11 = Topshop vest, INC snakeskin blouse, JJill charcoal skirt, nude tights, boc black embellished heeled boots. Fancy earrings that go up my ear.<br />#12 = Long black wavy-textured sweater over JJill window pane shirt over Apt9 coral tee. Chico's charcoal skinny pants, White Mtn black suede wedge booties. Long black necklace wound twice. Not sure if this one worked at all. A coworker said it looked like an 80's outfit. He wasn't sure why.<br />#13 = BR black sweater over old black and white textured tunic, old dark bootcut jeans. Wore old black ankle boots for cold rain. Grey "sparkly" scarf - I felt no jewelry was the way to go.&nbsp;<br />#14 = JJill Mini striped tunic over Talbots tomato red button shirt, RH skinny jeans, Franco Sarto grey oxfords. Pearl inlay dragonfly earrings. Casual for Friday.<br />#15 = Talbots coral/tomato red knit blazer over Loft print tank, Talbots navy ankle pants, Sole Society zip loafer. Silpada silver/pearl earrings and ring.<br />#16 = Old orphan Chico's embellished cardigan (never sure on styling it but love the way it makes me feel, and love the sleeve's wrist cutout), JJill floral scarf, JJill tomato red skirt and Clarks buckle ankle booties. Vintage hand-me-down ornate gold/stone ring. Also wearing tomato red tank and necklace but like it better with the just the scarf. I think the sweater could've been shorter with the skirt? The ankle boots are a HEWI filled after two years of looking! PPP!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm sorry this turned out so long!<br />Thank you for any comments you are moved to make! </p>
