Why would you have to "tone them down" for work? What terrible thing would happen if you show up at the lab looking fabulous? Will everybody be distracted? Will they send you home to change? I say, be as fabulous as you can, every day, every time.<br /> (Sorry for my directness, I am Dutch and I don't seem to be able to hold my tongue. But I mean well. Very well.)<br /> Greetje </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-reality-vs-fantasy-1#post-1494866 Fri, 22 May 2015 04:48:03 +0000 msgulia 1494866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the purple and blue!

Your cool-toned version is super glamorous, too. I like how you got the scarf detail and sandals, too. Your reality version is fantastic on you. I think I like the leather jacket even more than the blazer, and you look great in both pairs of flares. I hope your feet start cooperating more with your style aspirations soon. I definitely know that dilemma well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-reality-vs-fantasy-1#post-1485674 Sat, 02 May 2015 22:50:16 +0000 Angie 1485674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(I have the same '70s crush, Tanya. I LOVE my flared jeans even more than last year at the moment).&nbsp;</p> <p>You did a great job of translating the Fantasy to Reality. All renditions are fabulous. #3 is my best and killer. WOOOHOOO. Nicely done.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-reality-vs-fantasy-1#post-1485590 Sat, 02 May 2015 19:09:53 +0000 donnat 1485590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your fantasy look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-reality-vs-fantasy-1#post-1485576 Sat, 02 May 2015 17:40:00 +0000 Joyce B 1485576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All your outfits look fab.<br /> Maybe feet are fussier in the Spring, after being comfortable in protective Winter shoes? I am hoping that is true because I am having a similar problem to what you are describing with the heels that I own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-reality-vs-fantasy-1#post-1485570 Sat, 02 May 2015 17:20:31 +0000 Tanya 1485570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diane!&nbsp; I love flares, so I will humbly accept the title.&nbsp; I am getting increasing annoyed with my fussy and achy feet as they are really limiting how often I get to wear flares.&nbsp; My various 2.5-3" wedges that used to be fairly comfy and perfect for flares are now 4h shoes at best, sigh... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-reality-vs-fantasy-1#post-1485515 Sat, 02 May 2015 14:34:30 +0000 Anonymous 1485515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree...definitely Queen Flare! Both bright and more subdued versions are lovely. #2 and #3 have more of the 70s vibe with the jacket and look bolder. Great stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-reality-vs-fantasy-1#post-1485459 Sat, 02 May 2015 13:38:47 +0000 Tanya 1485459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Joy, I have quite a crush on flares and 70s this season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-reality-vs-fantasy-1#post-1485203 Fri, 01 May 2015 21:53:50 +0000 Anonymous 1485203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to run but these are all gorgeous outfits on you. I especially love the silvery jacket. You are Queen of the Flare </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-reality-vs-fantasy-1#post-1485195 Fri, 01 May 2015 21:43:54 +0000 Tanya 1485195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was hoping to do a full week of this challenge, but life got in the way and I ended up doing it for only two days this week, Monday and Tuesday, and failed to post those in timely manner.&nbsp; So I am posting them today to catch up.</p> <p>The fantasy outfit was inspired by some of the 70's Sensual Glam looks from Pucci Spring 2015 collection (#1).&nbsp; My fantasy version (#2 and #3) is in cool tones as warm tones do not look good on me, and consists of eggplant blazer, purple silk blouse and cobalt bootcut pants. I sadly do not own any flares in bright enough&nbsp; color so had to go for less dramatic bootcuts. </p> <p>This outfit would not fly for my work place, as it is too dressy,bright and fashion forward.&nbsp; So my reality version (#4 and #5) represents a toned down version appropriate for the lab.&nbsp; The bright pants were substituted with dark flare jeans and the silky blazer with a black leather moto. The extra dose of reality is brought by the fact that I hemmed these flare jeans for 1.5" heels to accommodate my fussy feet. </p>
