I love the pattern mixing in 2 and the animal<br /> print and red in 3. Isn't it awsome when you can put such professional outfits together quickly and without a whole lot of thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-616-617-618-the-work-formula#post-1508632 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 15:54:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1508632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, I'm so sorry to hear that things continue to be difficult and I wish you much, much strength :)</p> <p>This is definitely when a well honed wardrobe is truly appreciated - look how stylish and fabulous you look!

I am in love with the pop of red in #2. And I can't believe how much wear you get from that LE sun shirt!&nbsp;</p> <p>So sorry to hear that your dad is still struggling. Getting old is not for the faint hearted, and caring for elders is not, either. Luckily, you and your wardrobe are both strong!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-616-617-618-the-work-formula#post-1508589 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 13:34:14 +0000 Janet 1508589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Classic Mary!

My favorite is 2. I ordered a couple of those Lands End tops, one the blue stripe and one plain white. I am loving how cool and comfortable they are for summer, yet covered. Thank you for looking so polished in your rash guard.<br /> I am sorry that your dad is still struggling. Do you have any siblings that help you out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-616-617-618-the-work-formula#post-1508542 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 11:09:35 +0000 lyn67 1508542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My best wished to your DF! These are &nbsp;all great! Your work formula is kind of one dressier version of mine, and I love it, too! Easy peasy-and feelin' great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-616-617-618-the-work-formula#post-1508540 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 11:06:13 +0000 Jeweled 1508540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope your Dad gets better soon!<br />I love the stripes + floral pattern mixing in photo #2.&nbsp; I'm not usually a fan of pattern mixing, but it looks really sharp how you've done it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-616-617-618-the-work-formula#post-1508536 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 10:52:11 +0000 dakotacheryl 1508536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, Aging parents can take a lot out of us emotionally and physically.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your formula dressing is wonderful and you look fab in all three photos!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-616-617-618-the-work-formula#post-1508533 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 10:40:36 +0000 Anonymous 1508533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry about your dad's ongoing problems. It must be such a worry. I hope things improve soon.</p> <p>Kudos to you for looking so wonderful through it all Mary. All three outfits are beyond fab! I think I might pick the pattern mixing one as my favourite, with the tan one coming in at a close second. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-616-617-618-the-work-formula#post-1508525 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 09:47:16 +0000 Maneera 1508525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all 3 looks so much that I'm having a hard time choosing my favourite! After careful consideration, I'm going to go with #2. The pattern mixing is beyond fabulous, and looks absolutely divine on you. </p> <p>Your tried-and-true formula really really works for you. Don't you love it when you know you can deal with family stress without worrying about looking polished for work? I think your look is classic and refined without being boring, and you have a great eye for details. </p> <p>I hope your dad feels better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-616-617-618-the-work-formula#post-1508522 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 08:53:42 +0000 Brooklyn 1508522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with cocolion - shoes in no 1 are a star. I also really like no 2, but they are all very stylish outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-616-617-618-the-work-formula#post-1508506 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 06:05:33 +0000 Deborah 1508506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your formula works so well for you. &nbsp;I am sorry to hear your dad is not doing so well. &nbsp;Will be keeping you all in my thoughts.</p> <p>And you are a girl after my own heart. &nbsp;I note the handbag changes... I also change my bag daily:)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-616-617-618-the-work-formula#post-1508503 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 05:38:07 +0000 CocoLion 1508503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some of your best! &nbsp;I especially like the tan ensemble #1. &nbsp;The shoes stand out in this outfit, and something about it makes me think of Faye Dunaway's character in The Thomas Crown Affair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-616-617-618-the-work-formula#post-1508488 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 04:03:10 +0000 MsMary 1508488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dad's health situation has continued to be quite unstable this week so I haven't had much time for posting or paying much attention to my clothes. Thank goodness for my tried-and-true pencil skirt/blazer/pumps formula! Nothing in any of these outfits is new, but I felt reasonably put together during a busy few days! </p> <p>1. Tan pencil skirt: Halogen<br />Tan pinstripe blazer: Talbots via consignment<br />Navy linen blouse: consignment<br />White/navy/bronze pumps: Seychelles<br />White satchel: Banana Republic</p> <p>2. BW print pencil skirt: Halogen<br />Striped top: Lands End<br />White linen blazer: Olivia Moon<br />BW tote: Steve Madden<br />Red pumps: Jessica Simpson<br />Pendant: H&amp;M</p> <p>3. Red pencil skirt: Halogen<br />Leopard blouse: J Crew via consignment<br />Tan linen blazer: Olivia Moon<br />Brown belt: Target<br />Colorblock tote: Vince Camuto<br />Brown pumps: Jessica Simpson</p> <p>I just realized that the skirts, linen blazers, and pointy-toe pumps are all duplicates in different colors. It really helps to have the same pieces in different colors to make getting dressed easy in the morning!</p> <p>Thanks for looking and for your honest feedback!</p>
