The lace top is gorgeous and I agree that #2 is fab and my favorite too. The top in #4 is great on you - &nbsp;I think you just need different pants, maybe white or cropped to give a punch up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-week-at-work#post-1268799 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 02:04:54 +0000 Anonymous 1268799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks great -- polished and with personality! I especially love #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-week-at-work#post-1268768 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 01:48:54 +0000 celia 1268768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the kind words and advice.<br />Diane/Astrid you have a great eye. They are the same pants but I guess the lenght is only ppl when using flats. The t-straps have a little heel and that made the difference.<br />Your advices on different pants/shoes provided me with another week of outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-week-at-work#post-1268678 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 00:11:54 +0000 MsLuna 1268678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Celia! Good to see you on here!</p> <p>#2 is you WOW look! Did anyone ever tell you that you wear orange/tangerine well? I'm starting to think that it's your color the cut, print and colours of that dress is just pure perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-week-at-work#post-1268674 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 00:08:11 +0000 Dee 1268674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love the dress in #2. You look fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-week-at-work#post-1268587 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 22:33:41 +0000 E 1268587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked at the photos before your text and thought "Wow! She's got flattering office dressing down!". I think the beauty of that lace blouse translated just fine in the photos, and funnily enough I liked the shoes in 4 a lot. But if they're not your style anymore, a plainer pump would look lovely as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-week-at-work#post-1268536 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:58:28 +0000 Angie 1268536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, and how nice to see you post again.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the lace blouse in #1.&nbsp;</p> <p>You are killer in that frock in #2.&nbsp;</p> <p>#3 is delightful - nice pop of bright shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-week-at-work#post-1268511 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:23:03 +0000 LAR101 1268511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all 4.<br />#1&nbsp;BTW: I really like simple outfits like this. &nbsp;Dark shoes might elongate your line but then you might want to add something simple&nbsp;&nbsp;to replace the interest brought in&nbsp;the shoes.<br />#2 fav! Really great outfit.<br />#3 fav, too.. Love the pants color suggestions for different styling.<br />#4 love. &nbsp;Love the blue shirt on you, especially. &nbsp;I think a dark pencil skirt would also go very nice with this outfit. Slightly different look.&nbsp; I like the T-straps, too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-week-at-work#post-1268506 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:16:43 +0000 deb 1268506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all and agree, white pants would look really good in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-week-at-work#post-1268505 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:14:33 +0000 carter 1268505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my! You look amazing in the dress! You need more of those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-week-at-work#post-1268501 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:09:56 +0000 Anonymous 1268501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My faves are 2,3,4. You look great in all of these though. I hope your transition to work is going well and your workplace is a great place<br /> For you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-week-at-work#post-1268499 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:07:09 +0000 Astrid 1268499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are all great, but my favourites are #1 and #2. I really like the top/cardigan/shoes combination in #3, but I'm not sure about the color combination with the pants. Love the top in #4 on you, but I agree with Diane, the pants look a tad too short with the shoes. How about wearing the flats from #1 instead? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-week-at-work#post-1268346 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:23:12 +0000 Anonymous 1268346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great! #1 and #2 are my favourites., though maybe your Madmen look just has the edge :)&nbsp;Are the trousers in&nbsp;#4 the same as #2? as I'm just wondering if perhaps they are hitched up a tad higher in #4 which causes&nbsp; a not quite PPL length to my eye, or perhaps your shoes are just higher. The blue top compliments your dark hair beautifully though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-week-at-work#post-1268341 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:22:01 +0000 Janet 1268341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! Yay, dress twin -- I feel fab in that dress too. It has some sort of magical properties. And I also love that top in #4 -- the colors and the stripes are fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-week-at-work#post-1268340 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:21:05 +0000 rabbit 1268340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I think they all work really well and you have a good eye for pattern and color.</p> <p>#1 that is a really&nbsp;beautiful blouse on you and I think colorwise works well with the navy pants and lighter accessories (I like the white watch). I'm not totally sure about the cut of the pants in this outfit&nbsp;but dress trousers are not something I know much about.</p> <p>#2 Gorgeous! &nbsp;The coral shoes are great next to your bare legs, and that dress is amazing. &nbsp;I think you are dress twins with Janet? &nbsp;I wish I could be a dress triplet... :)</p> <p>#3 I like the pattern of the&nbsp;top and of course the white and coral are great. &nbsp;I might try another color pant or skirt&nbsp;if you wanted to do variations on this&nbsp;- I think navy or ink&nbsp;would be a great bold contrast, and a paler tan or off white might work well. &nbsp;I can also see olive or charcoal&nbsp;working - I'm thinking slightly&nbsp;more pale tones or darker tones rather than mid range in general.</p> <p>#4 I really like the top on you and&nbsp;think it transitions well into the pants. I also like the t-strap shoes, but you could experiment with sharper toe shapes if you wanted to try something different down here.</p> <p>I always retake my WIW pictures on the weekend because that's when I have a camera, so of course they look a little different :).</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-week-at-work#post-1268328 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:13:03 +0000 Zibbets 1268328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits! I think you look fab in all of them, but if you wanted to, you could try #3 with a white pant to elongate your line.&nbsp;<br />Congrats on the new job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-week-at-work#post-1268321 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:09:58 +0000 Glory 1268321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful in each of these outfits. I love the top in 4 - the &nbsp;colours are wonderful with your complexion.<br />I hope the first week was a success! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1st-week-at-work#post-1268310 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 17:50:13 +0000 celia 1268310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello YLF<br />I wanted to share my first week of office outfits with you.I 'recreated ' the first 3 outfits at the end of the 3rd day so hopefully I looked somehow fresher in the morning. Also I took these with the preset and the colors look very dark.<br />The 4 and last(I work there 4 days a week) was taken at the end of the day when I came home.<br />As you can see I opted(because that was what I had on my closet) for more conservative cuts and slightly more on the business than on the casual side of the business casual.<br />#1- This is a beautiful lace shirt that didn't translate well into photo.The shoes are D'Orsay flats which made me feel a little less dowdy.My choice of a trustworthy navy outfit was very deliberate and although I was hitching to dress the lace blouse with some skinny jeans I think it served it's purpose.<br />#2- Very hot and muggy day. I have to say that this was my favourite outfit of the week. I felt very much like Joan from Mad Men, as in 'I am a woman in a men's world but I know what I am doing'.<br />#3- Matchy matchy.After work I had to go to a function at my DD school and got some compliments on it.Maybe it works better IRL.<br />#4- I have no great love for this top but what really bugged me about this outfit were the mary janes.They are not so much me any more.<br />I would love to know what you honestly think about these outfits and what you would change. I still have a couple more things in my closet to put into rotation and in the end we can have a great Forum party figuring out what are the best 'uniforms' if you are willing.<br />Thank you for looking.</p> <p> </p>
