LOL!) but sometimes worry that it doesn’t look as great as it feels. The kid wore nothing but sports shorts (even in the dead of winter!!) and T-shirts for ages...it’s nice to see him caring a little more about style.</p> <p>Shevia: Like I said, good and bad...something tells me he’ll need to budget his allowance carefully to afford his style wants! But it’s a great way to help teach some money management skills (I hope!).</p> <p>Brooklyn: thank you! </p> <p>Rachylou: LOL! How can white feel so “loud”?! </p> <p>Bijou: That is definitely a compliment - thank you! Heels have been a go-to for me at work. I’m 5’2” if my hair is particularly big that day (haha) and I’ve always been self conscious about my height. I still far prefer the look of work outfits with heels (ON ME), but am trying to add some flats to the mix. Maybe my eye will adjust.</p> <p>Joy: Thank you. I’ve realized that part of why I’ve been enjoying white so much lately is that my go-to fall and winter look is slim black pants with booties or boots and jackets. The white is a nice change-up.</p> <p>Liesbeth: I have absolutely considered heels an essential part of my work style. I’m trying to add some flats to the mix but I’m still not 100% sold on the look (again, for me - I love it on others). </p> <p>Notsaf: thank you! I do love this dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-neutrals#post-2055681 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 10:07:31 +0000 notsaf 2055681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with Kelly in thinking the dress look is stunning on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-neutrals#post-2055664 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 05:51:44 +0000 Liesbeth 2055664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've started considering heels as essential to your office style, but these flats look just as fab! All great outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-neutrals#post-2055661 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 05:22:45 +0000 Anonymous 2055661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the flats with your outfits. Everything looks wonderful on you but, agreeing with Angie, white really makes the outfit as in 4 and 6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-neutrals#post-2055657 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 05:07:23 +0000 Bijou 2055657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You remind me of Jennifer Aniston and I hope you take that as a compliment as I think she is gorgeous and has great style. I do suspect that we could put a chaff bag on you and you would somehow make it look amazing...That said, you really look great in all of these. The casual outfits - shorts, denim shirt etc are stylish and casual. All your clothing fits so well. Your work outfits are simply beautiful and you don't need heels to make them work. My favs are the more dressy work outfits 4, 6 and 7 but that takes nothing away from the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-neutrals#post-2055655 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 05:04:34 +0000 rachylou 2055655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Very pretty! A wide array of outfits I know what you mean about white being a colour... I do find white very loud on myself... which is somewhat hysterical, considering my love of bright clashing pattern. LOL.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-neutrals#post-2055654 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 04:09:24 +0000 Brooklyn 2055654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great set of neutral coloured outfits. Love all the black and white. My favourite outfits are 4 and 7. I think the flat shoes look great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-neutrals#post-2055648 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 02:49:52 +0000 Jaime 2055648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear shorts so well! 4/6 and 7 are my favorites out of an excellent bunch. My son wears whatever I give him - basically thrifted 501 jeans and graphic tees that I think suit him. Fun to have a son with more of a sense of style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-neutrals#post-2055556 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 20:58:43 +0000 kellygirl 2055556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg, so gorgeous. I love the dress with the flats. SO fab. I think that's my fave of the lot. Also really love the VC button sleeve top with the white bottoms and killer sandal booties. You have such a great sense of style. So cool that you are able to share it with your son. My girls are all about yoga pants these days. Love the idea of having your son really think about budgeting for clothes. There are a lot of things I'd do over with mine! Thanks for sharing your killer style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-neutrals#post-2055553 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 20:53:20 +0000 Angie 2055553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are just as beautiful in neutrals! I adore them all, although the outfits with the white are the KILLER standouts to my eye - #4 and #6. Can’t help it. Very biased because I love white! </p> <p>Skirt outfits are my next faves </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-neutrals#post-2055536 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 18:23:21 +0000 Helena 2055536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous outfits! I love every one. I think you handled your son's hoodie desire perfectly - my kids are the same. It's amazing how little they truly want once they have to pay for it themselves lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-neutrals#post-2055531 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 17:48:56 +0000 christy 2055531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The last couple of weeks I’ve worn a lot of color. (Oddly, I just realized that in some ways I consider white more of a color than a neutral for me in that it feels very noticeable). Apparently this week I felt a desire to go back to my more typical palette, though still adding in some white for summery touches. </p> <p>1/2 - A casual Saturday look for a trip to our lake cabin in central Washington. These shorts are a 5” inseam - I bought them thinking I was duplicating my favorite white shorts but turns out these are a bit longer. I’m very surprised to say I think I prefer a 3.5” or 4” inseam on me for casual wear. </p> <p>3: Monday office wear. Still not used to flats with dresses. My instinct is always to throw on a pair of heels. Do the flats work here? </p> <p>4: Tuesday at the office. Missing those VC caged sandals I wrote about earlier but I think the Halogens are fine. And, more importantly, not regretting sending back the more closed foot sandals. </p> <p>5: Wednesday: a MOTG outfit taking the kid back to school shopping and working from home. He has a pretty fun sense of style and is starting to enjoy shopping, which is good and bad. (He seems to have inherited his mother’s love for shoes!) We have a budget for each clothing item that we will pay, but if he wants something more expensive, he has to cover the balance himself. I hope it instills a sense of wanting to care for his more expensive items. And it makes him seriously consider how badly he wants something. So far it seems to be working. He wanted an $85 hoodie and when I told him he’d have to pay for part of it, he decided he didn’t really want it that badly. You’ve seen a variation of this already. Thanks to Kari for giving this not-inexpensive denim shirt more wearings!</p> <p>6: Thursday: back to the office. Again, my instinct is to wear heels at work but I think the flats are okay? These white shoes are getting pretty tired and will need to go soon. Trying to decide if I wore them frequently enough to replace them. I don’t really track number of wearings but I have been pretty good about taking outfit photos for most of the summer, so I need to review and decide. </p> <p>7/8: Friday at the office. I’d hoped to be able to go without the long cardigan topper, but it was too cold in the office to be sleeveless so I was glad I had it on. </p> <p>So that’s my week!! Comments about what works, what doesn’t and favorites are always welcome! Along with any wisdom about back to school shopping and trying to instill good shopping habits and attitudes in kids!! </p>
