				<description>&#060;p&#062;Another fab outfit again.  I would hope small children and dogs should not be reading this forum!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I was pleased the other day when I tried on size 14 pair of black pants that have been hiding in the back of my wardrobe for the last decade at least.  These are my test pants, well I actually got them on and done up but I could not wear them out of the house, but another few kilo ....

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I don't know whether to meow or roar, as I'm not sure what the animal is here, but suffice it to say that you look gorgeous.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Excellent choice, Deborah.&#038;nbsp; Sleek and confident -- perfect for a professional work look.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;And yes, I do that!&#038;nbsp; I know exactly what you mean.&#038;nbsp; Just clear the items that taunt you out of the closet into a holding bin for now.&#038;nbsp; Every more you'll open the closet door only to items that will do they job and flatter you today!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Deborah, you couldn't look frumpy if you tried.  This outfit fits your Elegant Eclectic style wonderfully.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I have never seen you look boring nor frumpy and suspect that behind the hidden picture lies a Deborah just as chic as in the first one.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;This outfit is far from boring and frumpy! I think it's a classic outfit, with a twist (thanks to the animal inspiration from Shannon). Love it!!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;PS - even without the animal, it'd still be classic and stylish  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Frumpy and Deborah &#060;b&#062;&#060;i&#062;never&#060;/i&#062;&#060;/b&#062; go together. I love the blouse and the cut of the jacket. I also don't mind that the pants have more room because it gives this tomboy androgynous feel. I think a low-contrast belt would tie it all together.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Hil, nice to know I am not the only one. &#038;nbsp;re not trying on clothes that I suspect might have gotten a bit tight... my motto is 'ignorance is bliss&#034;! &#038;nbsp;Of course I know it's not... but hey:)

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Hi Deb&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I don't think you could ever look frumpy or boring but I totally hear what you are saying - those are my fears too! And I also avoid trying things on if I know I have gained weight because I actually don't want to know if they don't fit. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I think you look great - the&#038;nbsp;animal print both lightens and adds an edge to your outfit which I love.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Hi Ladies,&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;It's that time of the year when the seasons are transitioning and I seem to loose the plot in terms of how to dress.  Shannon's post yesterday   &#060;a href=&#034;http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-simple-outfit&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow&#034;&#062;http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ple-outfit&#060;/a&#062;  helped me regain some perspective (thank you Shannon) and hence today's outfit was born.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;My theme was &#034;simple&#034;.  I have been neglecting quite a few things in my closet for fear that they wouldn't fit and I have found this limiting and frustrating.  (Some things have been tight but others I just assumed not wanting to really find out - do you do this?)  I also struggle with combining my love for slightly alternative styling with my love for modern classic.  So today I battled no more.    I had meetings at work so wore these very neglected straight leg work pants (that are now quite roomy), old animal print blouse and black jacket and shooties.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I felt appropriately and smartly dressed for work and liked how this looked.  As I self assess, I realise that my two greatest fashion fears are looking boring and/or looking frumpy...hopefully I have avoided both here;)&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Thanks for looking and your suggestions, observations very much appreciated.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;xxxDeborah&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Sorry hid #2 as it was bound to scare small dogs and children;)
&#060;/p&#062;
