I think the context is important. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183253 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 15:07:46 +0000 texstyle 1183253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is fantastic! Love you in that blazer and the skinnies - really great on you, you should wear that combo often :-). #2 is great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183179 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 13:30:23 +0000 ATLynn 1183179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look particularly fantastic in&nbsp;#1. &nbsp;I'm biased because this is very similar to my FFBO for my smart casual work environment. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183173 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 13:16:40 +0000 carter 1183173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both of these! I would definitely wear #1 for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183157 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 12:44:27 +0000 Susie 1183157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look for business casual. In my office, jeans definitely fit that definition and the dark wash + blazer add polish. I think there is plenty of interest in the top and I wouldn't add a necklace or scarf. </p> <p>Love the fun 2nd outfit, especially with the oxfords! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183149 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 12:34:44 +0000 Windchime 1183149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in your business casual outfit! The blazer works beautifully with the hint of sparkle in your top, and I like your simple, neutral color pallet. Your hair style adds to your polished look.<br /> Super fun oxfords for eating chili! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183147 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 12:28:11 +0000 Marina 1183147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Sveta on "no jeans" point. If it business then it is business exclusively. In any way I don't imply that pencil skirts and close-fitting skinny dresses should be prefered, although these two looks do not seem to hint on worktime outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Nonetheless, they look great. I liked oxford and skinny jeans duo on the second, and black jacket+white blouse on the first. They seem indeed casual and lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183144 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 12:23:56 +0000 unfrumped 1183144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blazer looks terrific on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183143 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 12:21:30 +0000 JamC 1183143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that blazer is perfect. &nbsp;It makes your outfit more professional but not too much. &nbsp;And blazers are great when you can't control the temperature since you can button or not and push the sleeves up or not.<br />The light oxfords really make the second outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183130 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 11:39:37 +0000 Lantana 1183130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I read business casual I expected something that looked trim yet relaxed so I say Yes, Amy, you've hit the nail on the head, #1 is the go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183127 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 11:14:54 +0000 Anonymous 1183127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 looks great, Amy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183125 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 11:08:34 +0000 kkards 1183125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like #1 a lot, the sparkles on tee add a nice touch. and i like your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183102 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 08:51:01 +0000 ramya 1183102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Purrfect!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183097 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 07:48:43 +0000 bella 1183097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is something I would wear myself, so I give thumbs up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183092 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 07:07:25 +0000 Kiwibird 1183092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is perfect business casual Amy - I love it!! &nbsp;Please take that blazer to the conference&nbsp;- it fits you so well. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183052 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 05:15:18 +0000 Beth Ann 1183052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea to plan ahead for your conference, and your business casual look is terrific.&nbsp; Fits are spot on and the look is clean and chic.</p> <p>Love the oxfords in look#2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183051 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 05:13:15 +0000 Day Vies 1183051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair is lovely. I love the simplicity of this outfit -- great lines. I also love the subtle difference between the dark blue denim and black jacket. This is a great look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183040 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 04:52:26 +0000 Deborah 1183040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is perfect!&nbsp; Beautfiully streamlined and so modern and cool looking.&nbsp; I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183025 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 04:25:16 +0000 Sveta 1183025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't it funny how the same words mean different things in different places? :-)<br />Definitely bring the blazer, it looks great with jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183020 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 04:14:07 +0000 fuzzylogic 1183020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, yES, YES!! I love this smart casual look! The jacket looks amazing on you! It looks to be such a great fit! My guess is that the long line elongates your torso and makes you look balanced! the darker wash jeans (?) have a more formal feel than lighter colours. I feel that the sprinkling of sparkles on the top is enough pizzazz for a site visit; I probably wouldn't add much in the way of accessories either.</p> <p>I would be careful with horizontal stripes on top, particularly with a crew neck, as it can give the illusion of increasing the size on top. What body shape do you think you are, amiable? (Waving, waving) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183003 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 03:45:17 +0000 amiable 1183003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sveta - The "encouraged" dress code for my company in our&nbsp;upcoming conference (90 + percent men)&nbsp;&nbsp;is khaki's and a polo. &nbsp;Most of the conference attendees will be in faded jeans and a polo. &nbsp; (It's construction industry). &nbsp;Last year, denim was welcome as long as it wasn't "blue jeans" &nbsp;(I wore my white jeans and was very appropriately dressed, another woman wore dark wash blue jeans which were also appropriate). &nbsp;So basically, for my work, "business casual" just means a step up from faded&nbsp;blue jeans and a polo :)</p> <p>I think this blazer will be coming to the conference&nbsp;with me - it'll allow me to wear a long-sleeved undershirt under my work shirt (which may be short sleeved or long sleeved - I suspect&nbsp;I won't know until I get there). &nbsp;And I like the structure it provides. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1183002 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 03:42:18 +0000 Jaime 1183002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the blazer and skinnies - no idea if it appropriate for the venue but you look great! Fantastic white oxfords too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1182998 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 03:36:31 +0000 Sveta 1182998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, is this business casual for work? In my place business casual means "no jeans"...<br />However right for the dress code or not I love it. This blazer make the whole outfit IMO. I tend to go minimal on accessories lately so for me the sparkle in the top has enough interest for the outfit but of course adding scarf is a possibility too.</p> <p></p> <p>The second outfit is a great casual and the oxfords are amazing.</p> <p>Love your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1182996 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 03:34:08 +0000 amiable 1182996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cross posted with Shiny and Una - thanks to both of you. &nbsp;Shiny, I'm working to grow my hair out to your length. &nbsp;It's taking all my patience.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1182993 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 03:32:50 +0000 amiable 1182993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sunee - Thanks! &nbsp;I generally skew minimal, but today&nbsp;I actually did add earrings after this picture - pearls for Jen's DD (pics of them on the tribute post by Deborah). &nbsp;</p> <p>And Joy - Thank you :)&nbsp;&nbsp;I bought those oxfords about 1.5 years ago at GoodWill. &nbsp;There's not even brand information on them, sorry. &nbsp;</p> <p>I have a conference coming up at the end of the month where I'll be in business casual. &nbsp;I've always worn wide-leg pants to that type of occasion and really want to try skinnies this year (probably with a day or two of wide legs too), so I'm trying to work out how much structure and what silhouettes can work with a boxy&nbsp;polo or button up shirt (which will be provided on site and I won't have options about whether to wear). &nbsp;</p> <p>Really, it's just a new way to play around </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1182992 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 03:32:29 +0000 catgirl 1182992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, love 1! It is stellar. You are a brave woman wearing white to a chili feed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1182987 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 03:29:02 +0000 shiny 1182987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great to me. I'd totally wear it. I'd like #1 with the oxfords in #2. Have you tried that? Those oxfords are totally cute. And I love your hair cut too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1182983 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 03:24:57 +0000 Anonymous 1182983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, those oxfords in #2 are wonderful! Details?<br /> I missed BC attempt 1, but you look great here, so slim. Is this for a certain occasion? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-business-casual-attempt-2#post-1182977 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 03:20:59 +0000 Sunee 1182977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 good looks! Personally I prefer the first but where are your accessories? Necklace? Scarf? Earrings? &nbsp;The little touches really help make the outfit look completely put together. </p>
