No sign at all of those alleged undereye bags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-838262 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 19:48:30 +0000 christy 838262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW, just WOW! You look amazing. Welcome back - nice to see you post again and congrats! </p> <p>All of these are really great. #4 is smashing - love the denim jacket with the black. #5 is just perfection. #6 made me smile - you look so cute! Love the cropped vest in #7. Looks like you aren't missing a beat as you head back to work. I can say without a doubt that I was still an absolute train wreck when I went back to work after baby and I took off four months!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-838260 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 19:41:09 +0000 Moonie* 838260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love outfit #5 and #8!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-838249 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 19:23:33 +0000 Jewell 838249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Beth Ann- I'm going to try the combo you suggested. My previous attempts at wearing black and brown together have failed, so I'm eager to see if I can make your idea work. </p> <p>@A- I would love to say it's something I actually did, but I'm pretty sure it's genetics. I've always been envious of my Canadian teacher friends who got a full year off. In the states we get six weeks paid and anything beyond that is without pay. </p> <p>@goldenpig- I've been told by all my friends that I'm a freak of nature...wore my prepregnancy clothes home from the hospital with all three babies. Don't put any pressure on yourself because style is not a dress size. </p> <p>@CocoLion- your compliment reminds me of my promise to myself to start back exercising (it's been over a year). Maybe now that I'm getting some sleep I'll find the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-838163 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 17:10:40 +0000 Tina.b 838163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jewell, you look just stunning! Congratulations on the new baby! The colour combo in #1 is just brilliant, that outfit is amazing on you. And you are so chic in your fur vests. Lovely set of outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-838150 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 16:58:36 +0000 goldenpig 838150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Jewell! You don't look like you had a baby 10 weeks ago--killer figure! You certainly set the bar high--yikes! So you're just fitting into all your old clothes now? I am afraid of post-partum dressing because I'm pretty sure I'll still look pregnant for a long while.You've got great style--esp. love 1, 5 and 6!And I love that you have matchy in your rubric too. How has it been going back to work? I think I will only get 5-6 weeks off so it's going to be rough. Hope you're getting some sleep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-838068 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 14:42:18 +0000 CocoLion 838068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 1, 4 and 5! You look so fit after maternity leave. Like there's a six pack lurking underneath those crisp white blouses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-838062 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 14:28:19 +0000 Transcona Shannon 838062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you SURE you had a baby???? 'cause you look amazing Jewell!</p> <p>These are all fantastic looks and clearly your style hasn't lost any of its "oomph" due to motherhood! Welcome back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-838012 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 13:03:09 +0000 krishnidoux 838012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you may be temporarily without internet, but surely not without killer style! What a great way to come back to work! I love how you play with orange and purple, and pink, and how it looks against your skin. For this my favourite of the bunch might be 1, 2 and 5.</p> <p>1 looks effortless yet so dashing. The tote is the perfect addition for massive style with the A-line skirt, a cut you wear like a model. </p> <p>2 (and I think this one must be my favourite of them all) looks like a departure from your usual style direction, still very polished but with a little "rough" element, a little attitude... the whole outfit is so well proportioned and so pleasing if it were music it would be Bach. </p> <p>5 Again, such a great sense of proportion here. My favourite detail must be the belt. And the cute purse gives it a "behaving" touch, completely in line with the feel of the outfit. Still an A-line skirt, however this time the belt holding the cardi holding the flowery blouse calls for the sweeter, more polished purse you have chosen. </p> <p>You have a great collection of bags and use them well in all your outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-838007 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 12:44:43 +0000 Anonymous 838007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We get longer mat leaves in Canada. At 10 weeks, I was still wearing my maternity clothes!!! You look amazing, shape and outfits! </p> <p>How do you do it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-837931 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 06:06:19 +0000 Jenava 837931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, #6 is amazing! I also love the rose-color skirt in #1 and #5. Congrats on your new baby!</p> <p>It's so funny you mention "matchy" in your style rubric; I've discovered that I love matching jewelry sets recently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-837926 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 05:57:27 +0000 Caro in Oz 837926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#6 just knocks me out - so modern glam. You look fantastic in all of these:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-837835 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 03:23:03 +0000 Beth Ann 837835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific, Jewell, in every pic! I'm bowled over by #1. Love the fur vest, too. What would it look like over the black dress in #4? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-837810 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 02:41:33 +0000 Kiwichik 837810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your style looks great in all these photos - you're right the fur vest looks great but my favs are 5 &amp; 8/9. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-837785 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 02:15:34 +0000 Jewell 837785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@amiable- Little One started sleeping through the night about two weeks after I returned to work. It was a welcome change, but my under eyes are still recovering :)</p> <p>@Angie- I've especially missed reading your blog posts.

My "baby" is 20 and I still struggle to get dressed!</p> <p>My fave is #4. I just love the denim jacket, the striped scarf and the red clutch together in such a fab outfit. Simple yet so chic. Effortless chic!</p> <p>But all of these are fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-837566 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:22:48 +0000 Suz 837566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jewell, it is so great to see you -- and looking so amazing, too!

Amazing.<br /> That color, what is it, orange, persimmon, whatever is gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-837546 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:02:11 +0000 nancylee 837546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do look fabulous...especially considering you just finished up maternity leave. All of these looks really work for your lovely figure and your rubric, but my favorites are #1, #5, and #6. That color combination in #1 is amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-837544 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:02:00 +0000 Thistle 837544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! 10 weeks post partum?!? Wowzers, you really look amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-837535 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:54:34 +0000 Jewell 837535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@MaryK- Orange and magenta...who knew?! Apparently everyone except for me. I never would have tried the combination if I hadn't found the scarf on clearance last year. Being on YLF has really opened me up to trying color. I have especially paid attention to how you rock color- you're an expert. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-month-back-work#post-837534 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:52:26 +0000 deb 837534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great!!
