Do you miss the freedom of your old job? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-new-hero#post-1042705 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 22:22:34 +0000 Thistle 1042705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool!&nbsp; Love the way you updated it.

Looks as if the blouse came out great as well.&nbsp;</p> <p>BTW, belated oohs/ahhs over a dress you posted somewhat recently -- the one where you said you rarely wear dresses but that one felt more aligned with your personality. Agreed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-new-hero#post-1042250 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:18:27 +0000 lyn67 1042250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, sooo cool! I want&nbsp; blazer like that!

This is such a cool combo. Love the zipper detail. The look is streamlined, edgy and modern. YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-new-hero#post-1042176 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 06:00:47 +0000 jayne 1042176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry for the dark pictures. In general when my kids are not here I have to take the photo myself in the dark hall...but when they are here...well they are teenaged...and not very willing to help mom out. </p> <p>This outfit is practically all new. First are the new faux leather leggings, then new pointy boots, New custom leopard blouse, and finally old charcoal blazer now also customized.</p> <p>I have had the blazer two years and hardly wear it. I had it taken in this summer to fit better but still wasn't reaching for it. I saw a winter coat by Marlene Birger that had zippers added and thought I could try that. Nothing to lose anyway, the blazer was an orphan. But now, maybe a new hero? </p> <p>Anyway, I feel awesome...hope it passes the day at work/glimpse in mirror test to see if I feel awesome later.</p> <p>Officially frosty here this morning. Have a great today. </p>
