Hubby left home before I got dressed (and after tying the tie for me) and when I texted him a photo, he texted back "Fab!" :)</p> <p><b></b><b>Dana</b>, super fun fact: The cuffs of the jacket are removable!&nbsp;<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-125-menswear-inspired-corporette-challenge-day-4#post-1882929 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 11:01:52 +0000 Mainelady 1882929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely ok for the office! You exude confidence in each outfit I have seen. I would not know your were out of your comfort zone, if you hadn’t mentioned it. That is a huge fashion win! I think it is great that your hubby wanted to help you with your challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-125-menswear-inspired-corporette-challenge-day-4#post-1882917 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 08:43:57 +0000 rachylou 1882917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha!

And the angles of the buttons on your blazer are super flattering! What happened to the cuffs of the jacket? Did you remove them or tuck them under?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-125-menswear-inspired-corporette-challenge-day-4#post-1882825 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 23:45:11 +0000 LaPed 1882825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! Cute matchy pom-pom and pants; bright cobalt looks great on you. And that jacket is too cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-125-menswear-inspired-corporette-challenge-day-4#post-1882821 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 23:39:11 +0000 Anonymous 1882821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>superb very chic outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-125-menswear-inspired-corporette-challenge-day-4#post-1882807 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 22:46:40 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1882807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that blazer. Combining it with the cobalt pants is inspired. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-125-menswear-inspired-corporette-challenge-day-4#post-1882691 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 18:05:32 +0000 kkards 1882691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MsMary, if I had read that I might have the same hang up....but I'm am an Annie Hall fan, so when i see women wearing tie's I just think they want to be Annie Hall/Diane Kenton </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-125-menswear-inspired-corporette-challenge-day-4#post-1882682 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 17:48:10 +0000 MsMary 1882682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the great feedback, everyone!</p> <p><b>Sisi</b>, this blazer is magic! It's a really comfy ponte knit and it's finished beautifully inside, too!</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, G is definitely a fashion maven in his own right!</p> <p><b>Kkards</b>, it's funny because looking at the photo I agree with you!&nbsp; This is a very typical-for-me outfit! But I have a hangup about wearing men's ties because many years ago I read a book that said ties are stand-ins for men's... uh, ... man parts. And that women who wear them are saying "Look! I'm pretending I have a... man part!" So I guess I'm psychologically scarred! LOL</p> <p><b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-125-menswear-inspired-corporette-challenge-day-4#post-1882680 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 17:44:34 +0000 kkards 1882680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmmm....MsMary, its funny how other's see us....I see this as right in your wheel house- with the exception of the tie, but even with that, I think as you have worn it, its not that different from a scarf... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-125-menswear-inspired-corporette-challenge-day-4#post-1882675 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 17:34:18 +0000 Sara L. 1882675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look!&nbsp; I think how you tied the tie low and not high like a man would wear it, makes the look more feminine and not costumey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-125-menswear-inspired-corporette-challenge-day-4#post-1882672 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 17:29:17 +0000 Angie 1882672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOH.

Not costumey at all. I think the choice of bright cobalt pants takes it out of Annie Hall territory and makes the ensemble very "you." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-125-menswear-inspired-corporette-challenge-day-4#post-1882657 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 16:39:35 +0000 Helena 1882657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely fantastic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-125-menswear-inspired-corporette-challenge-day-4#post-1882655 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 16:29:48 +0000 Sisi 1882655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find this very pretty and&nbsp;chic. Okay for office and for everywhere! I like that blazer a lot, with that interesing&nbsp;placement of the buttons.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-125-menswear-inspired-corporette-challenge-day-4#post-1882653 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 16:21:48 +0000 Katerina 1882653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Aurore! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-125-menswear-inspired-corporette-challenge-day-4#post-1882650 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 16:15:39 +0000 Aurore 1882650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, this look is perfect for the office. I find it very smart and sophisticated, and blue looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-125-menswear-inspired-corporette-challenge-day-4#post-1882649 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 16:10:55 +0000 MsMary 1882649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's today's prompt:</p> <p><strong><i>Day 4: Menswear inspired.</i></strong> </p> <ul> </ul> <p>I had something fairly low-key planned (sweater and pants with oxfords) but I mentioned the challenge to Lovely Husband and he got all excited about lending me one of his many neckties, so here I am, in Full Annie Hall regalia! And I'm chuckling because this outfit also fits the guidelines for yesterday's "shades of..." challenge as well!</p> <p>This is so far outside my comfort zone that I can't even see my comfort zone from here, but again, it's fun to mix things up! And the too-big Kate Spade bag is a fun stand-in for a man's briefcase!</p> <p>What say you all? Too costumey or okay for the office? </p>
