I like the strict, neat look of your shirts and trousers.

Lost my post. In short, you are so stylish and had a great week. Everything looks wonderful on you. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be #4 with its mix of casual and dressy.

Angie, thank you!  #4 was also my favorite... I'm really starting to warm up to wearing dresses more often. Those cargo pants have been a favorite for years, too. Emily K, yep, same snake shoes!  (Added a Find to this reply.)  Looking forward to seeing if you do a variation on the theme. And I'm always glad to find another tortie lover. :) Column, thanks! Dianna, thank you!  I've never tried the scarf-as-belt on a dress before, but it definitely felt right for this day (and it made the semi-high slit a lot less noticeable).

My favorite is number 4, you look gorgeous in the HL dress. The scarf adds a pop of color.

You look fab in those cargo pants too.  Anonymous on "WIW: 30x30 Week 2" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-30x30-week-2-3#post-1819983 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 22:38:48 +0000 Anonymous 1819983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ All of your ensembles are SPECTACULAR!!!  I love the dress.  It fits you like a dream and the belt makes it interesting.  What surprised me the most is that my favorite is number 5.  I'm wondering if that ensemble speaks to me because it is familiar.  I love the fit, the colors, and the shoes.  Nomad on "WIW: 30x30 Week 2" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-30x30-week-2-3#post-1819958 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 21:36:49 +0000 Nomad 1819958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Week 2 of the 30x30 down, and I gotta say, I'm longing for a few new things.  I prefer dressing for cool weather, so this 90+ degree weather is getting me down.  I can fake it most work days and pretend it's cooler than it actually is, since my office gets frigid in the summer, but stepping outside is painful.  I may need (well... want. Strictly speaking I don't need to buy anything else) to pick up a couple more warm weather tops, shoes, and maybe another pair of lighter weight cropped pants for work.  I had outfits planned out going into the week, but ended up making a number of substitutions and alterations as the week went on. #1: Bonus tortie! #2: Monday. Olive cropped pants, white sleeveless button-down, brown jacket. I was originally going to wear a black jacket here, but the very crisp and rather cold optic-white + black somehow looked strange with olive. #3: Tuesday. These pants fit somewhat better after a few rounds in the dryer, but I still don't love them. I think the fabric may also be too heavy for this time of year. It has a nice drape to it, but it feels more like a cool-weather fabrication. I'll see if I like them better in the fall before I make a final keep/discard decision.  I didn't feel quite as good in this outfit... it was adequate, but kinda boring and not as flattering as some. #4. Wednesday.  My new-to-me (consignment) Helmut Lang dress. The hemline is a fine length for work, but the slit is higher than I noticed before. It'll definitely be fine over tights, and I don't think HR is going to come after me even with bare legs, but for the first wearing, I tied a scarf as a belt and let the ends cover the slit a bit.  Also, all-black seemed a little grim for early summer (I might still do all-black anyway at some point, but not this week). #5. Thursday. Olive+navy again, but a more casual pair of olive pants, rolled because the full length felt awkward with most of the shoes in my 30x30 collection.  That made them a bit on the casual side for a non-Friday workday, but I was hoping the heeled pumps and dressy blouse balanced it out.  I was camped out at my desk all day with no meetings (finally! I've been longing for a no-meeting day), so I could get away with slightly more casual. #6. Friday. I need to remember that I like wearing this top under a jacket. I like the open tie detail, but I don't love the fluttery little cap sleeves so much, so it's perfect for tucking under a jacket.
