Such a bright, fresh, happy outfit and the boots bookend perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1056834 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 19:34:14 +0000 Emily 1056834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lookin' good! &nbsp;I really like #1, you may have dressed for comfort but you look super stylish. &nbsp;The yellow skirt is fab with the striped top and I don't think you resemble Bumblebee at all. &nbsp;:D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1056811 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 18:57:16 +0000 Anonymous 1056811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not too bumblebee - it's adorable! Love the boots with your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054835 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 22:29:16 +0000 viva 1054835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of cranberry, Sarah, and your rationale for it is so interesting! Thank you for that.<br />Angie: I always think of sheer for evening, which is probably just an old-school mindset that I need to shake. Thanks for giving me something new to consider. And also for the Ines comment, which made my day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054786 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:50:09 +0000 Angie 1054786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1. You remind me of Ines de la Fressange.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like the colour combination of #2. How do you feel about wearing sheer black hose instead of opaques?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054714 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:40:04 +0000 Sarah A 1054714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both outfits a lot! Glad to see you went for the yellow skirt b/c it looks fantastic! (I guiltily spent way too much time surfing the JCrew outlet after your recent link) I personally love brown with black so I see the black working really well in #2, and also love the London black tight thing so maybe my eye is adjusted. I could totally see a cranberry tight being very low contrast with the brown boot and across the color wheel from the yellow as a potential lighter option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054705 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:25:17 +0000 viva 1054705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, if I went lighter with hose, what color would you say? My choice of black is really not strategic. I have one pair of charcoal ribbed tights and about 6 pairs of black. I honestly am at a loss for what lighter shade to wear. Ivory? Really? But I can see how lighter tights might work better here. Anyone? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054674 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:42:44 +0000 Susie 1054674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of these outfits are great, Viva, and I don't see bumble bee at all! I too think that the brown boots look good but if you need an enabler for buying more shoes, I'm your girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054633 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 18:59:40 +0000 Vickie KY 1054633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I really like both looks. YLF.

Love the scarf and jeans in 1 with the textured sweater. The skirt looks as fabulous as I imagined, and not bumblebee at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054443 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:38:11 +0000 Suz 1054443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both of these. The textures of #1 really sing to me -- so clever to put the jeans and lace together. I want to copy this (except I have not lace top, dang).&nbsp;</p> <p>As for #2, I love the boots and they do bookend your hair. I would prefer lighter (less dark) hose with this due to the lighter top, but if you had a dark jacket or even scarf this would be perfect as is and not at all too bumblebee.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054427 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:26:47 +0000 kellygirl 1054427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Viva: Lol! That's funny. Sometimes I go shopping and I see something that reminds me of some one here. Welcome to the club! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054425 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:25:59 +0000 rachylou 1054425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Soooo cute. I'm in love with the yellow skirt especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054406 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:15:11 +0000 viva 1054406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kellygirl -- that first outfit reminds me of you! (I think that might be my first time seeing someone's picture and remembering their style so vividly! I feel like a real YLFer now.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054390 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:05:40 +0000 kellygirl 1054390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both of these. I would wear #1 in a heart beat. So fab. I adore #2. I'm kind of scratching my head trying to figure out how this works when in my mind, I would think the hosiery is too dark for the bright yellow skirt. The boots too--I would not have thought to pair those with the hosiery but the look is just brilliant. I wonder if the boots bookend your hair? I must think some more on this. You are clearly a color genius and I have a lot to learn!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054382 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:00:31 +0000 viva 1054382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! it's so great to get feedback.<br />Joy: My bookgroup was started by an old-school feminist so we've inherited the theme of women writers, and we've stayed true to that. Otherwise, we've created a few of our own traditions - we read a children's or YA book in December, we read a book by a woman of color in February, we read a mix of fiction/nonfiction and modern/classic. Last night we picked our books for the coming year, so if there are readers on YLF I can do an off-topic posting listing our choices. I think they are great!<br />JG: Thank you for that permission not to change! The black boot thing has been my nemesis! I like these brown ones just too much, I think. Nothing else compares. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054359 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:48:59 +0000 JG 1054359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are great. I won't try to talk you out of buying new black boots but the brown ones are terrific with the tee and skirt- and with your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054298 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:52:00 +0000 Sara L. 1054298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great outfits! &nbsp;I like the scarf and lace top together. &nbsp;The boots look good with the yellow skirt and striped top. &nbsp;Black would look good too but I like the contrast of the brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054294 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:49:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1054294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous outfits Viva! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054267 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:30:26 +0000 Neel 1054267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both the looks! &nbsp;The fit of the jeans feels so comfy!&nbsp;&nbsp;The yellow skirt is beautiful and I don't see bumble bee either ...... but if you are worried you could always team it with a blue /navy blue&nbsp;striped tee. &nbsp;Works like a charm! &nbsp;The bookending with the boots is just perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054247 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:55:58 +0000 Anonymous 1054247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vivian, both outfits look great on you. Is your book club themed or do you read a variety? The lace top makes that outfit sing for me.<br /> I'm taking notes on how you wear your yellow skirt. i see no bumble bee. Your boots look luxurious and do bookend your hair beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bookgroup-and-work-day#post-1054236 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:34:04 +0000 viva 1054236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two outfits from this week. <br />Book group: I have been in the same book group for 16 years - one of my favorite nights of month! But I cut off my head in this picture because it was the end of the night and I was exhausted. I was definitely dressing for comfort and trying to use the blue-white-black combo I've seen around so much.<br />Lace top, infinity scarf: JCrew Factory<br />BF jeans: Gap<br />Booties: Cole-Hahn<br />Workday: Working at home but I have a major deadline today, so I am dressed for business. No pajamas allowed. Are the colors too bumble-bee? Do the boots bookend with my hair? I love these boots and cannot find black ones that work as well. (I have flat black Aquitalia knee highs that I could wear, but they really lack style. I need heeled black boots.)<br />Top: American Eagle (very old)<br />Skirt, tights: JCrew Factory<br />Boots: Tentazione<br />Thanks in advance for your thoughts.<br />Vivian </p>
