The handbag is also terrific.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--first-day-at-work#post-1204588 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:11:52 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1204588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a wonderful professional outfit and you are right to be comfortable for the first day - that's enough stress in and of itself let alone adding fussing with a belt if that's not something you're used to.</p> <p>Love the polka dots, the fluid drape on the top and the red handbag for punching it up with a pop of color. You look gorgeous </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--first-day-at-work#post-1204499 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 09:32:05 +0000 Anonymous 1204499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look modern and pulled together.

You look put together and professional and I hope you had a good first day. Welcome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--first-day-at-work#post-1204433 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 03:58:59 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1204433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that you look wonderful! It looks to me like you have hit just the right middle ground of not too ultra professional (could read uptight/stiff to new colleagues who are super casual) but also not too causal (which could read disrespectful to new bosses). You look approachable and also like you take your job seriously. And... You look beautiful and put together (with your lovely new handbag). Good luck on the new job - looks like you are off to a great start! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--first-day-at-work#post-1204419 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 03:51:03 +0000 Beth Ann 1204419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome!&nbsp; </p> <p>The comfort zone is a good place to start when it looks polished and fab like this!&nbsp; Black/white is a great way to begin --- it has graphic power, but is almost neutral.&nbsp; Love the pop of color in the bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--first-day-at-work#post-1204376 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 03:08:42 +0000 keruchina 1204376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for your kind words. My first day went very well but entering the world of 9-5 is certainly an adjustment.&nbsp;</p> <p>DonnaF, I have experimented a bit with a half tuck but can't claim to have mastered it. I will make further attempts.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--first-day-at-work#post-1204370 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 03:04:39 +0000 Adelfa 1204370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, this post is very special to me because my DD lurks here! I think your outfit is wonderful, not too much among a bunch of be-jeaned techies. But saying you're here to work. I love the way your foot skin bookends the white dots and your lovely face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--first-day-at-work#post-1204354 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 02:54:35 +0000 Suz 1204354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a treat! You are just as gorgeous as your mom! And what a great bag. I love your dotty top. Hope your first day went really well, and I also hope you post again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--first-day-at-work#post-1204350 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 02:53:50 +0000 DonnaF 1204350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried the half-tuck and the faux-tuck?&nbsp; They provide a longer leg line while eliminating the horizontal line of a full on tuck.&nbsp; They are the best of both worlds plus will show off your new belts!&nbsp; Angie has a number of posts on the techniques. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--first-day-at-work#post-1204306 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 02:16:46 +0000 carter 1204306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We love your mom! You look totally fab today. Hope the first day was great. Also hope we'll see more of you. Try the belt and tuck this week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--first-day-at-work#post-1204297 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 02:10:05 +0000 Susie 1204297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you are as lovely as your beautiful Mom!</p> <p>Black and white is is always a fav for me; you look great. And the bag is so striking against the black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--first-day-at-work#post-1204294 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 02:07:32 +0000 keruchina 1204294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorkable, duly noted for the future! Not much to do about it now because I have changed into my sweats </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--first-day-at-work#post-1204290 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 02:05:21 +0000 deb 1204290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bag look really good against the dark outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--first-day-at-work#post-1204289 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 02:00:18 +0000 adorkable 1204289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely! I like the bag with the black and white.</p> <p>I'd love to see a closer photo if possible, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--first-day-at-work#post-1204286 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 01:58:09 +0000 keruchina 1204286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I promised my mother (Parsley) that I would send her a photo of my outfit for my first day of work and thought I would take it one step further and get all of your feedback!&nbsp;She gave me the handbag, which is really the most fabulous part,&nbsp;as a "starting your grown up job" present. Thanks, mom.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm transitioning from graduate school to working at a big tech company. I was very concerned about looking professional only to discover that there is a&nbsp;<b>wide&nbsp;</b>range of professional wear. Almost all of my teammates were in jeans.&nbsp;</p> <p>I bought new belts with every intention of becoming a belter and a tucker,&nbsp;but then my belting and&nbsp;tucking phobia came through, and I ended up opting for my comfort zone on the first day.</p> <p>Any comments/feedback/suggestions welcome. Apologies for the wet hair and low image quality.&nbsp; </p>
