How did the scarf not stay put? Did it swivel around? </p> <p>I hear you on the dress length, which is exacerbated by the pencil silhouette of the skirt. Full skirts are so much more forgiving that way. A fab outfit nonetheless!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-and-lots-of-color#post-947531 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 19:20:26 +0000 Suz 947531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are really great! You look fresh, pulled-together, professional, and yet fun. If I saw you, I would think, <i>I'll bet that woman knows her business but has a sense of humour. &nbsp;</p> <p></i>Re the scarf -- was it twisting around? Mine usually stay put pretty well, although it does depend a bit on the fabric underneath them. And of course slippery scarves are a bit trickier to keep in one spot. I sometimes wear mine angled a bit rather than straight down and that seems to help for some reason.&nbsp;<br /><i><br /></i>I hear you on the dress length. It looks fine while you are standing, but that shape of skirt is going to ride up when you sit no matter what.&nbsp;<i><br /></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-and-lots-of-color#post-947522 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 19:09:04 +0000 abc 947522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Traveled for work last week, so here are some WIWs featuring real outfits as opposed to my normal WFH (sloppy, need to address ASAP)&nbsp;attire.</p> <p>WIW Weds:&nbsp;<br />Black trousers - Eloquii by The Limited<br />Green tshirt - Sejour (Nordstrom)<br />White blazer - Sejour (Nordstrom)<br />Metallic flats - Vince Caumto (Nordstrom)<br />Yellow purse - Coach outlet<br />Multicolor owl silk scarf - bought in Brazil on recent business trip</p> <p>WIW Thursday:<br />B&amp;W polkadot dress - Gap<br />Black blazer - Sejour (Nordstrom)<br />red skinny belt - Eloquii by The Limited<br />red ballet flats - Me Too (Macys)<br />red necklace - Charming Charlie (new to me store, love for cheap, colorful&nbsp;accessories)</p> <p>WIW Friday but forgot to take a pic (d'oh!):<br />cobalt ankle length skinny jeans - NYDJ (Nordstrom)<br />Black tshirt&nbsp;<br />Black and white wide horizontal&nbsp;striped knit blazer - Rack<br />gold tassle necklace - Tori Burch via Rack<br />red ballet flats - Me Too (Macys)</p> <p>Thoughts: &nbsp;I felt great in the first outfit. &nbsp;Comfy, yet put together. &nbsp;Scarf didn't want to stay put, though, so interested in hearing how you keep silk scarves in place? &nbsp;Don't want to poke holes but interested to know if there is&nbsp;something out there that could help?</p> <p>B&amp;W Gap dress looks and feels&nbsp;good standing up but I feel self conscious when sitting. &nbsp;Feels too short though I am totally covered. &nbsp;Now I understand some YLFers rants on skirt lengths being too short. &nbsp;Very matchy-matchy with the red, but I love me some black, white and red so I didn't mind!</p> <p>Comments and suggestions welcome. &nbsp;Have a great day! </p>
