I think Shannon has worn the jacket with a wrap dress, so it's worth trying. I need to go shopping for tops :)</p> <p>Thank you, everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-11413---to-the-opera-to-the-office#post-1074540 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 21:54:33 +0000 Caro in Oz 1074540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF as is&nbsp;Amy, these are fantastic outfits. Would a wrap blouse work with the Lanai? I can see that adding a bit more you to the outfit without spoiling the line of the jacket.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-11413---to-the-opera-to-the-office#post-1074519 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 21:36:54 +0000 Karie 1074519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The green lace top is beautiful, and I adore the shoes in pic #3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-11413---to-the-opera-to-the-office#post-1074436 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 20:18:00 +0000 HelenInCanada 1074436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa - glamour girl! &nbsp;Love all of these looks on you, quite classically feminine yet sharp. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-11413---to-the-opera-to-the-office#post-1074327 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 18:58:24 +0000 Sharon 1074327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have posted such glamorous outfits lately! I love this luxe, feminine look for nights out. The green lace blouse is beautiful. I think it would also look good tucked but with some of&nbsp;the volume allowed to billow out over the top of the shirt, &nbsp;IYKWIM. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-11413---to-the-opera-to-the-office#post-1074298 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 18:34:26 +0000 Emily 1074298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1-2 - So glam! &nbsp;I love your accessories - the pearls, gloves and fur are very elegant and luxurious looking.&nbsp;</p> <p>#3 - The Lanai looks great on you, for starters. &nbsp;I'm not sure it demands simplicity so much as offers an air of minimalist cool-ness. &nbsp;Perhaps a top with a subtle pattern (I am picturing little navy polkadots)&nbsp;or texture (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://quixoticpixels.lookfab.com/post/wiw-101613---running-late">http://quixoticpixels.lookfab......nning-late</a>&nbsp;?) would provide the extra something you're looking for? &nbsp;Or a long, simple pendant? &nbsp;Extra hearts for the snakeskin pumps. &nbsp;They are dreamy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-11413---to-the-opera-to-the-office#post-1074288 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 18:25:31 +0000 Suz 1074288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blouse is so pretty on you, Amy! Love the drape and the colour for you. Such a pretty outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also love Lanai on you, but you know my love of simplicity, so I'm probably not a good advocate for the jacket! :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-11413---to-the-opera-to-the-office#post-1074278 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 18:18:48 +0000 celia 1074278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you look ubber chic in the first outfit, that is going to the Opera in great style.<br />And I love to see you in the second outfit.To use an older terminology you look very 'clean'.<br />What don't you like or feel uncomfortable about it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-11413---to-the-opera-to-the-office#post-1074265 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 18:15:07 +0000 Amy 1074265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea, AJ. I'll have to look out for a top like that. I don't have many options at the moment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-11413---to-the-opera-to-the-office#post-1074261 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 18:13:15 +0000 AJ 1074261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket in #1 looks so luxurious!&nbsp; </p> <p>Luv both the Lanai and the snakeskin pumps in #2.&nbsp; How do you feel for next time, keeping the top lower contrast to the skirt?&nbsp; I think that will let the blazer be the star. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-11413---to-the-opera-to-the-office#post-1074259 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 18:11:36 +0000 Amy 1074259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! I'm getting a lot of compliments on my outfit at work today. I think I cracked the code here. They like conservative legal chic with sparkly snakeskin shoes, lol :)</p> <p>Una, the fur topper is something I picked up at Macy's last year or the year before. I can look up the label later.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-11413---to-the-opera-to-the-office#post-1074255 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 18:07:04 +0000 lyn67 1074255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, for nr 3-the kind of simplicity you are not comfortable with??? YLF in this! Opera outfit is so simple and chic! Love the green blouse with&nbsp; the black pencil and the beads, the furcoat is superglamorously perfect toper to it!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-11413---to-the-opera-to-the-office#post-1074104 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 16:30:52 +0000 catgirl 1074104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa, that first pic is so glamorous!&nbsp; Tell me about the jacket.&nbsp; Love the Lanai too - it is a streamlined look for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-11413---to-the-opera-to-the-office#post-1074100 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 16:28:21 +0000 LACeleste 1074100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Amy!! &nbsp;I love your super glamorous looks! &nbsp;I dressed like pic 3 without the benefit of cool shoes like yours for 20+ years so I can't help. &nbsp;Happy Monday back at you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-11413---to-the-opera-to-the-office#post-1074094 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 16:24:18 +0000 Amy 1074094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit #1 - I ordered a bunch of things from Boden recently and didn't like anything except this green lace blouse. It's quite boxy, though, so I tried to tame it with a belt. I suspect I'll like it better in general when worn under a suit jacket than belted like this.</p> <p>Outfit #2 - I'm trying to put my navy Lanai into rotation. I like it a lot, but it demands a kind of simplicity I'm not all that comfortable with. </p> <p>Happy Monday, everyone! </p>
