From this and various other posts I can see I am going to have to hunt down a black ponte jacket for this (Aussie) winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-816078 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 04:35:20 +0000 annagybe 816078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-816074 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 04:31:48 +0000 catgirl 816074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like I struggle this way every day, with not nearly such a great result.

Loving the coordination of bag to scarf to sweater. What an eye, what a wardrobe!</p> <p>Days I struggle don't end up like this, I can tell you. If you ever want a change of occupation, you can come teach these skillz to people like me. We won't even mind if you arrive a few minutes late. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-816065 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 04:21:26 +0000 Suz 816065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally worth it!! You look sensational in my books! </p> <p>I have those days all the time. Had one today, in fact. And didn't end up looking as good as you. </p> <p>I WANTED to wear my houndstooth jacket (inspired by you). But the weather was too warm for it and then my bra was looking bumpy in the next outfit I tried and then I had to find something fast. Oy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-816048 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 03:44:50 +0000 Karie 816048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have those days quite often, but in your case, it was well worth the extra 10 minutes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-815667 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 20:55:21 +0000 Lyn D. 815667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great finale- and the black jacket and bag finished it off beautifully ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-815641 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 20:32:56 +0000 Amy 815641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great--and I bet the other shoes would make this outfit even more zingy.</p> <p>And yes, I have those days too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-815637 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 20:31:29 +0000 kimlee 815637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, I would say those were 10 minutes well spent. Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-815634 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 20:29:39 +0000 Vildy 815634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks so good to me that I have to sit on my wallet to keep from wanting to run out and find that sweater and that bag. This is my idea of an OUTFIT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-815595 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:52:07 +0000 Mochi 815595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gotcha. I equated "fighting" with "stress." LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-815592 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:47:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 815592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your playing around resulted in a fab outfit. I really like the pairing of these trousers with this sweater - it's so "quietly stylish" if that makes any sense. Such a lovely soft colour palette too. I've mentioned it before but I'll mention it again - it amazes me how equally well you can wear bright colours and neutrals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-815572 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:29:30 +0000 MsMary 815572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, I didn't say I was stressed over it! Yes, I made myself late, but it was more "playing in my closet" than "stressing out over what to wear!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-815558 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:17:30 +0000 Mochi 815558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is so dashing! MaryK for the win! Though I did chuckle, thinking that Angie's blog post of today may pertain at times like this--nothing wrong with repeating a known quantity in a pinch. A workday outfit is not worth stressing over! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-815513 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:38:51 +0000 Sara L. 815513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! You look effortless - one would never guess the angst that went into your outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-815509 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:35:11 +0000 texstyle 815509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>10 mins.

You for the win! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-815490 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:15:33 +0000 pil 815490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well worth the angst - way to show your closet who is the boss : )<br /> Those pants are terrific on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-815488 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:12:39 +0000 christieanne 815488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well it works in the end! Some days you start with one outfit in mind, and then end up walking out the door in something totally opposite. Glad to know I am not the only one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-815481 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:08:59 +0000 Asingh 815481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pattern-mixing, Mary K! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-815476 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:06:48 +0000 Anonymous 815476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, totally worth it. I am agreeing with the shoe change. I love how the trousers fit, so flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-815472 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:03:46 +0000 Thistle 815472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The loafers would really make #2 sing. While you had to fight for it all the way, the fight was worth it. You look fab in #2.</p> <p>Sometimes it is nice for those of us beginnign our journey that even those of you who have really perfected your style occassionaly struggle to look fab.</p> <p>And loving your handbag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-semi-casual-friday-fighting-for-my-look#post-815467 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:59:30 +0000 MsMary 815467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you ever have those days when you have to fight every inch of the way to get a decent look? I had planned to declare my own personal casual Friday today, then the sweater I had planned turned out to be too casual so I changed it out, then there was a shoe issue and a bag issue and a scarf issue, and I ended up getting out of the house 10 minutes late!</p> <p>Gray microcheck pants: Express<br /> Striped sweater: J Crew<br /> Blue oxford shirt: Target boys' dept<br /> Black ponte knit moto: Tahari<br /> Gray belt: Target<br /> Black pumps: Madden Girl*<br /> Colorblock tote: Vince Camuto<br /> Burberry-ish silk scarf: consignment</p> <p>*I was particularly unhappy with the shoes, so after I took the photos I changed out the shiny patent pumps for yesterday's non-patent leather platform loafers, which I think work quite a bit better with the black socks!</p> <p>Thanks for looking! Do you think it was worth the angst? </p>
