Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-523-business-casual-adventures-in-dressing-begin#post-1666861 Wed, 25 May 2016 12:42:43 +0000 Anonymous 1666861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I think this is a superb outfit. That blouse is so fab! The shoes work brilliantly with it. Don't change the way you dress Tanya...the others in your office should 'up their game'...They'll soon get used to you and will probably start getting dressier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-523-business-casual-adventures-in-dressing-begin#post-1666595 Wed, 25 May 2016 00:12:31 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1666595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an excellent mix of high and low, formal and casual elements. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-523-business-casual-adventures-in-dressing-begin#post-1666587 Tue, 24 May 2016 23:56:34 +0000 Tanya 1666587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Delurked and Sterling, thank you very much!</p> <p>Ledonna, the office where I will be doing my internship is officially business casual, but people dress fairly casually.&nbsp; I attended a staff meeting yesterday where there were lots of jeans, some even ripped and worn with hoodies.&nbsp; I want to leave a good impression and dress nicely, since I love dressing up and in my current lab position lots of things I like are prohibited due to safety dress code.&nbsp; However, I don't want to look and feel out of place and be too dressed up, so I am aiming for golden middle.&nbsp; People also think I am too dressy at my current work (lab), but I am used to it and don't mind it anymore, and I think they got used to me as well :)&nbsp; And you have some awesome boots, so keep wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-523-business-casual-adventures-in-dressing-begin#post-1666465 Tue, 24 May 2016 20:41:52 +0000 Ledonna N. 1666465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you think you will stand out? I'm not sure I understand. Like Angie said the shoes make it look casual to me. Sometime we have to train others to accept what we wear. People think I'm to dressy at work . Wearing boots instead of tennis shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-523-business-casual-adventures-in-dressing-begin#post-1666439 Tue, 24 May 2016 20:18:51 +0000 Anonymous 1666439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-523-business-casual-adventures-in-dressing-begin#post-1666433 Tue, 24 May 2016 20:16:38 +0000 Anonymous 1666433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks pulled together, but effortless too. My favorite combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-523-business-casual-adventures-in-dressing-begin#post-1666414 Tue, 24 May 2016 19:59:19 +0000 Tanya 1666414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much Angie. I agree that the oxfords dress done the outfit so I will be keeping that trick in mind for the near future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-523-business-casual-adventures-in-dressing-begin#post-1666226 Tue, 24 May 2016 14:25:40 +0000 Angie 1666226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer Gorgeous. The oxfords effectively relax the look - so not to worry about looking more dressed up than the rest of the crowd.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-523-business-casual-adventures-in-dressing-begin#post-1666160 Tue, 24 May 2016 12:03:38 +0000 Tanya 1666160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Sara.&nbsp; I have noticed that about my internship office too, so will have to be careful to dress down my blazers when I wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-523-business-casual-adventures-in-dressing-begin#post-1666015 Tue, 24 May 2016 02:24:41 +0000 Sara L. 1666015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfit. I'm the only one in my office who wears blazers. Even my boss rarely wears a blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-523-business-casual-adventures-in-dressing-begin#post-1666006 Tue, 24 May 2016 02:10:53 +0000 Tanya 1666006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While my internship doesn't begin till June 6th, today I was invited to attend a weekly staff meeting of my future office, so I figured wearing a nice business casual outfit was the way to go.&nbsp; To my dismay, I was by far the most dressed up person there as it turned out that the office dressing is very casual.<br />The outfit formula is the one I have used a lot for conference dressing in the past couple of years: skinny pants, blouse/shirt and blazer.&nbsp; This particular version was built around my favorite shirt ever, a little tuxedo sleeveless number in black with touches of ink and stone by 10 Crosby Derek Lam.&nbsp; I combined it with my workhorse navy Sloan ankle BR pants and stone knitted H&amp;M blazer.&nbsp; I would have loved to wear my ankle strap AT suede navy pumps, but I knew it was going to rain the whole day and I was going to spend a lot of time walking outside, so I went for a much sensible choice of simple navy Gap oxfords.&nbsp; The outfit was finished with another set of workhorse items, my silver RM satchel and silver/rose gold MJ watch.&nbsp; The outfit was quite a mix of high and low which I really enjoy. </p>
