You look polished professional and very put together. If someone didn't know you were under a lot of stress they certainly wouldn't guess. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-43-it-doesnt-get-any-more-ffbo-than-this#post-897526 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 17:59:13 +0000 AJ 897526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That dress is one of my favorites on you.&nbsp; This is a FAB styling for spring!&nbsp; Luv the studded belt with it.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-43-it-doesnt-get-any-more-ffbo-than-this#post-897490 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 17:30:44 +0000 rachylou 897490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love that the bow is the belt!

Not on your life!! You look gorgeous, authoritative-yet-fun, and fabulous as ever. What could be better than polka dots for spring, heralding a new beginning :)?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-43-it-doesnt-get-any-more-ffbo-than-this#post-897355 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 15:42:43 +0000 Vicki 897355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love it all the way, MaryK, and navy and cream is FFBO lovely on you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-43-it-doesnt-get-any-more-ffbo-than-this#post-897352 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 15:40:30 +0000 Beth 897352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like it, especially the polka dots. As Joy said, it's a softer take on your power jackets. A pretty spring outfit for a lady with a can-do attitude. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-43-it-doesnt-get-any-more-ffbo-than-this#post-897348 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 15:36:42 +0000 Sara L. 897348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look great!&nbsp; This is definitely not a "given up" outfit.&nbsp; Giving up is wearing lounge wear out of the house with Uggs or flip-flops.&nbsp; The dress fits you beautifully and I like how you changed up the belt and used the original belt to add interest to the neckline. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-43-it-doesnt-get-any-more-ffbo-than-this#post-897347 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 15:33:40 +0000 Liz A. 897347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ haha i think i could fallback faster than that ;)<br /><br />you look great. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-43-it-doesnt-get-any-more-ffbo-than-this#post-897334 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 15:10:41 +0000 rae 897334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the PB! Yay, convertible and FFB-friendly. Go get 'em, MaryK! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-43-it-doesnt-get-any-more-ffbo-than-this#post-897328 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 15:05:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 897328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ There's a reason we call it FFBO - 'cause it works every.single.time. Nothing about this outfit reads "given up" MaryK. The dress is beautiful on you, in fact one of my favorites and using the self tie belt as a pussy bow is brilliant. Add in your gorgeous accessories - especially that fab handbag - and you've got a polished, professional, stylish, gorgeous outfit.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-43-it-doesnt-get-any-more-ffbo-than-this#post-897324 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 15:03:07 +0000 hedgiehog 897324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't think even your "given up" look would be bad! Looks like a lovely spring outfit. I really liek that you made the belt a pussy bow and added your own. It adds interest to the outfit.

I'm a total believer in this. <br />ETA: paraphrasing William James, Behave as though...&nbsp; <br />(this is not in any way to say that you don't look good<i> now</i>!)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-43-it-doesnt-get-any-more-ffbo-than-this#post-897301 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 14:46:35 +0000 MsMary 897301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank goodness for dresses!&nbsp; Easy peasy in a stressful time!<br /><br />Navy polka-dot dress:&nbsp; vintage<br />Studded belt:&nbsp; Streets Ahead<br />White satchel:&nbsp; Banana Republic<br />Nude pumps:&nbsp; Target<br />Nude microfishnets:&nbsp; Oroblu<br /><br />I use the self-belt as a pussy-bow to up the interest factor a little bit.&nbsp; What do you think?&nbsp; Do I look okay, or like I've given up?<br />
