I'm seconding the idea of an indigo column if you want a change. I think it's important to have the longer shorts/leggings whatever they are. Were they comfy and not too hot?</p> <p>You're doing great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-at-work-with-apron#post-1288080 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 06:01:32 +0000 Neel 1288080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color combo and the comfy vibe in it!

With the apron, I think the length is perfect.</p> <p>This was all I could find in orange:<br /><a href="http://www.legionsafety.com/tingley-hazmat-boots-82330-hazproof.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.legionsafety.com/ti.....proof.html</a></p> <p>But there are orange and brown safety toe sneakers out there.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-at-work-with-apron#post-1287905 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 01:15:21 +0000 Alana in Canada 1287905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gracie--if I could find steel toed boots in orange, I might just buy them and wear them to be extra cheeky!</p> <p>Thank you all everyone. The first time I showed up at work in it, it caused quite a stir. Someone told me she had never seen anyone wearing a dress to work before.</p> <p>Today, a kitchen designer in the kitchen and bath department showed up wearing a polo shirt in a gorgeous green and a cotton knee length narrow cotton skirt (which she revealed were actually shorts underneath--so a sort, then?). So, maybe I've started something?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-at-work-with-apron#post-1287697 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 20:36:32 +0000 lyn* 1287697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was super warm here too! It's pretty dreary today!</p> <p>I love your artistic flair!

You look great in orange and the tunic looks awesome peeking out from behind the apron. One of my good friends works for Home Depot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-at-work-with-apron#post-1287520 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 17:37:46 +0000 Karie 1287520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The length of the tunic works very well with your apron. I like that pant length - it's very flattering and gives enough coverage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-at-work-with-apron#post-1287511 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 17:29:43 +0000 rachylou 1287511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's what I call funky cool. I think it hits the right note.</p> <p>And haha, I have a thing about aprons. I came to your thread just because I saw the word *apron.* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-at-work-with-apron#post-1287432 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 15:15:52 +0000 Angie 1287432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You make me want to hug you. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-at-work-with-apron#post-1287368 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:49:46 +0000 celia 1287368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When you call yourself Alana in Canada you take it very seriously :)<br />Yesterday with the humidex it was stifling.I like your artsy outfit and especially your smile.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-at-work-with-apron#post-1287330 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:53:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1287330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could you send a wee bit of your heat to Winnipeg Alana? We've been having the most dreadful rainy and cold summer so far :(</p> <p>I think this works brilliantly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-at-work-with-apron#post-1287323 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:45:59 +0000 Suz 1287323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! This is exactly why I thought it might be a good idea for us to see the whole shebang. Because <b>WITH</b> the apron, the tunic seems like just the right length as is! And, since you're wearing it that way all day at work, and the tunic isn't for wearing elsewhere, it makes sense to leave it as is!</p> <p>I love the slightly longer shorts/ pants, and sleeves. And this colour scheme is brilliant. A column of colour with a neutral tunic and the apron for the win!&nbsp;</p> <p>You could do white (though it might get really dirty), charcoal or light grey, navy, cobalt as your "columns" also.&nbsp;</p> <p>Echoing Elizabeth P. here. Your attitude and approach are such a gift to us all! Thank you for joining us here! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, I hear you on the heat. 29 <b>IS</b> hot because we get the darned humidity.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-at-work-with-apron#post-1287322 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:37:53 +0000 lyn67 1287322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course you can play with the sleeve, and pants length, weights and textures! For the big heat you can also use mesh tees, or more flimsy ones as they are yet &nbsp;already covered by the apronn&nbsp;(and&nbsp;tunic). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-at-work-with-apron#post-1287311 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 11:46:38 +0000 Alana in Canada 1287311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oooh, I am heading off for work today feeling great, thanks to all of you! I am again in a column of black--only shorter sleeves and at 5:45am I am already warm enough to fog my glasses. But no matter, my smile will surely distract everyone from my shiny forehead, right?<br />Thanks everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-at-work-with-apron#post-1287303 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 11:37:33 +0000 Elizabeth P 1287303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed the first post, so just read that, now coming back here to comment.</p> <p>First - you are awesome.&nbsp; The way you've jumped in here whole hog, put yourself "out there", graciously taken everyone's suggestions... fantastic.&nbsp; </p> <p>Second - I think this is a great solution to your wardrobe dilemma.&nbsp; With the apron, the tunic/dress is just the right length. Isn't Suz wise? You see enough that it looks purposeful, not that you are trying to cover it, which it might if it were shorter.&nbsp; And the capri length is also just right.&nbsp; IMHO.&nbsp; Now you need to duplicate this in a few colour combinations.&nbsp; Navy and Cobalt both look great with orange.&nbsp; Maybe a tee in the lime green of your shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-at-work-with-apron#post-1287302 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 11:34:16 +0000 lyn67 1287302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look smashing, Alana!&nbsp;If I were you, I &nbsp;wouldn't change for another column of color for anything in the world(except perhaps indigo or white)! As Fuzzy said, the color combo cannot be more&nbsp;trendy,&nbsp;proffesional, current&nbsp;and yes(!) even &nbsp;"artsy" and&nbsp; your smile is so &nbsp;inviting!&nbsp; If I were there, I would surely&nbsp;&nbsp;ask for your help rather then other's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-at-work-with-apron#post-1287296 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 11:07:47 +0000 Anonymous 1287296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-at-work-with-apron#post-1287292 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 10:55:26 +0000 fuzzylogic 1287292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I really like the black-grey-orange colour combo!!! And the proportions look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-at-work-with-apron#post-1287288 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 10:45:01 +0000 Alana in Canada 1287288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good morning, Ladies.</p> <p>A co-worker was kind enough to snap a photo of me in our lunchroom yesterday. As per <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-3">our discussion</a> of my work "uniform" the first time, I tried a longer 3/4 sleeve and longer work out pants--covering the knee. The tunic has not yet been shortened.&nbsp;</p> <p>The apron I am wearing is too big, but that's all which is available at the moment. That long cord thingy is a cell phone. I cannot keep it in the pocket alone or it falls out.</p> <p>It was hot yesterday--29 Celcius--(for us, that's hot!) and I was uncomfortably warm dressed this way. Today will be more of the same.<br />I liked the column of black underneath--very artsy.&nbsp;I wish I could do a different column of colour, though--</p> <p>Comments, suggestions, etc, welcome. Thanks for looking!</p>
