Elegant, Ladylike, but not too tailored. Love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-115-fashion-blogger-goes-to-the-office#post-766687 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 01:34:30 +0000 Jaime 766687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are more than powerful enough to wear this outfit. And you look amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-115-fashion-blogger-goes-to-the-office#post-766647 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 01:10:31 +0000 Kyle 766647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning combo -- the skirt and scarf are brilliant and you really shine in these colors. Perhaps a tad casual for your buttoned-up office, but probably OK to push the envelope now and then, yes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-115-fashion-blogger-goes-to-the-office#post-766532 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 22:56:39 +0000 TraceyLiz65 766532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok now I get it. Law offices are a whole different ball game. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-115-fashion-blogger-goes-to-the-office#post-766265 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 18:32:01 +0000 Angie 766265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Despite what this outfit may feel and look like to you Mary, you look elegant and beautiful in it. Less bombshell, but just as much chutzpa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-115-fashion-blogger-goes-to-the-office#post-766202 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 17:39:56 +0000 Transcona Shannon 766202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful Mary and still appropriate for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-115-fashion-blogger-goes-to-the-office#post-766162 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 17:06:49 +0000 Sara L. 766162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's still work appropriate although I can see what you mean about being more casual than your usual outfits. The length of the skirt and the blazer work to make it fairly conservative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-115-fashion-blogger-goes-to-the-office#post-766133 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 16:44:29 +0000 MsMary 766133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tracey, I work in one of the last bastions of business formal! I am in law and most of the women lawyers here wear skirt or pantsuits in black, gray, or navy. The men all wear suits and ties. I am one of the two most senior women at this location and we both tend to glam it up quite a bit more than our environmental norm, largely because, well, we can. But I still try not to be too OTT because law is still a pretty conservative field. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-115-fashion-blogger-goes-to-the-office#post-766113 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 16:28:06 +0000 Debbie 766113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit. That bag is devine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-115-fashion-blogger-goes-to-the-office#post-766097 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 16:07:26 +0000 TraceyLiz65 766097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it but not sure I understand why being fashionable means less serious or appropriate. I think you look very put together and confident. /What is your work atmosphere? Love the pattern mixing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-115-fashion-blogger-goes-to-the-office#post-766092 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 15:53:20 +0000 MsMary 766092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going back to the office today after having been working from home (on the telephone night shift!) since Wednesday. This outfit turned out a little more fashion-bloggery than my usual work-wear, but I like it and think it's reasonably appropriate, especially since it's still pretty hot around here!</p> <p>Tan polka-dot crystal pleat midi: vintage<br /> White button-front shirt: Sandra Ingrish (new from the Rack)<br /> Teal jacket: Amber Sun<br /> Brown belt: Target<br /> Brown gladiator sandals: Payless<br /> Zigzag scarf: local boutique<br /> Leopard bag: Brahmin via eBay</p> <p>Thanks for looking. What do you think? Too fashiony or reasonably serious? </p>
