Nah...never can have too much shopping, Right??&nbsp; :-)&nbsp;&nbsp;I just found this bag&nbsp;at TJMaxx&nbsp;at just under 50%&nbsp;of the original price. It's last year's design but CK makes so many bags of so many slightly diff styles that it hardly matters. It's almost the exact color of the one&nbsp;in the above pics&nbsp;and a much better size. It's a midsize satchel with no shoulder strap which would be a new style for me, although I could wear it over my shoulder if I wanted to, just<br />not over a coat. This color will go well with a lot of what I have for spring <br />and summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-professional-networking-eventwine-tasting#post-1651847 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 13:17:08 +0000 Muffin 1651847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you were the most stylish person in the room! It's always interesting to see the array of dress at events. Very interesting about the TJXX person- she was probably so excited to have someone know a lot about her company. Never seen the shoes but have to wonder how comfortable they would be being so flat and so high on the Achilles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-professional-networking-eventwine-tasting#post-1651840 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 13:04:57 +0000 RobinF 1651840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice, especially like the jacket and shoes. How fun to talk to a TJ Maxx Corporate person, love that store. And the&nbsp;sneak peek shoes are super cute :). I've never seen anything like them before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-professional-networking-eventwine-tasting#post-1651830 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 12:42:14 +0000 Chris987 1651830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><u></u> <p><b>Firecracker</b>, thanks for remembering that Nic &amp; Zoe moto jacket. It would definitely work with these jeans and pumps but maybe not with this&nbsp;blouse...that jacket is warmer tones while this blouse is cooler...but I'll try it out and see...</p> <p><b>Muffin</b>, the outfit was perfect for the event because I felt comfortable in it. It was a very small event with 45 or so men and only 3 women. Somewhat typical for events targeted at "IT" audiences (meaning Information Technology). I was much more stylishly dressed than either of the other two women but that was fine, pretty much&nbsp;the story of my professional life. The guys were&nbsp;all pretty casual&nbsp;with the occasional blazer............nothing interesting there. </p> <p>The evening turned out to have two fashion connections.... </p> <p>1 - had a long talk with a women who works in the IT/Operational side of TJXX corporation. She was dressed very casually...like what most YLFers would consider wear-at-home style. (she does work at home part of the time) &nbsp;She was really surprised at how much I knew about their business model etc. Their HQ is in MA not far from where I live and I've been a fan most&nbsp; of my life. She said&nbsp;they are planning to expand in Canada (Winners) and Europe, an their online presence which is pretty new&nbsp;is doing very well. </p> <p>&nbsp;<br />2 - most of the presentations were boring and repeats of things I had heard many times before. So, I snuck some photos of the only&nbsp;woman<br />speaker, &nbsp;who was wearing a rather plain business outfit and some&nbsp;fascinating shoes. These black flats had really pointy toes, a kind of velvet texture on the vamp, and heel back that came way up onto the Achilles tendon area. (Not sure the pics do them justice). <br />I couldn't stop staring!&nbsp; Has anyone ever seen shoes like this before? &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-professional-networking-eventwine-tasting#post-1651711 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 03:31:51 +0000 Muffin 1651711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! How did the outfit work out for the event? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-professional-networking-eventwine-tasting#post-1651709 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 03:29:23 +0000 celia 1651709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You gotta love a tweed jacket.<br /> Your outfit is lovely. Hope you find a bag that you enjoy wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-professional-networking-eventwine-tasting#post-1651706 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 03:27:11 +0000 Jaime 1651706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The mix of the jacket and top looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-professional-networking-eventwine-tasting#post-1651617 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 00:16:56 +0000 Aida 1651617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice! Fun print mix, and I do like how the light bag and shoes play off the lighter bits in the blouse pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-professional-networking-eventwine-tasting#post-1651604 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 00:05:39 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1651604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fantastic! I like a small bag for going out, but I also understand your wish for a larger one, too.&nbsp; Hope the event is a fun, successful one!</p> <p>Does your Nic and Zoe tweed moto jacket work with this top and jeans, too? (The bag and shoes made me think of it.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-professional-networking-eventwine-tasting#post-1651602 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 00:03:31 +0000 shedev 1651602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute pattern mix. love the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-professional-networking-eventwine-tasting#post-1651483 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 20:21:31 +0000 Angie 1651483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice pattern mixing.

The tweedy moto and top are a lovely combo and the pointy nude shoes look nice and leg lengthening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-professional-networking-eventwine-tasting#post-1651456 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 19:39:15 +0000 Chris987 1651456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heading out the door shortly with DH wearing this. Except for the jeans, these items are 1,2, or 5 years old.&nbsp;This is a bit more polished than my normal work-wear used to be.. </p> <p>- Black/White tweed moto sweater&nbsp; - BananaR</p> <p>- Top - Ivanka Trump (This I know this is a controversial brand as discussed in some recent forum entries. I got this well over a&nbsp;year ago)</p> <p>- Shoes - Ann Klein</p> <p>- Jeans - Loft as shown in finds</p> <p>-Bag - Tignanello. Really too small to be practical, have not used this bag much. Might look for a larger size in similar color.</p>
