Do you get a lot of your clothes tailored to fit? Everything looks so perfectly fitted that I figure you must. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-catch-up---a-weekend-in-suits-heels-silk-blouses#post-630743 Mon, 28 May 2012 15:27:19 +0000 Tanya 630743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all very much! Dressing for this event was lots of fun, and I wish I had a lifestyle that allowed me to dress like this more often, as it is my preferred style of dressing. But I would look quite silly (in the least) wearing #4 while doing experiments at the bench or anything else I do on the daily basis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-catch-up---a-weekend-in-suits-heels-silk-blouses#post-630464 Mon, 28 May 2012 02:47:30 +0000 annagybe 630464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #2 with the tie, just amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-catch-up---a-weekend-in-suits-heels-silk-blouses#post-630403 Mon, 28 May 2012 01:58:45 +0000 Suz 630403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am fascinated by the replies to tuck into slips or undershorts. I have never tried it! I just tuck every time I go to the bathroom. Which is often, LOL! </p> <p>You look very authoritative in these outfits as well as lovely, and I especially like #4. Just a great silhouette for you, I guess, plus I am partial to red shoes!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-catch-up---a-weekend-in-suits-heels-silk-blouses#post-630357 Mon, 28 May 2012 00:15:40 +0000 Mona 630357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the suits and the dress is very feminine </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-catch-up---a-weekend-in-suits-heels-silk-blouses#post-630355 Mon, 28 May 2012 00:08:57 +0000 Angie 630355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All these outfits are KILLER! I love suits, as you know :)</p> <p>I just re-tuck during the day, Tanya. It does not worry me because I looooooove tucking my shirts and blouses into trousers and jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-catch-up---a-weekend-in-suits-heels-silk-blouses#post-630327 Sun, 27 May 2012 22:34:29 +0000 nicoleb 630327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! That blue dress looks super gorgeous. Love the hemline! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-catch-up---a-weekend-in-suits-heels-silk-blouses#post-630322 Sun, 27 May 2012 22:22:31 +0000 goldenpig 630322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you do look like you're in charge! Love your suits. #3 and especially #4 are just breathtaking. The best outfits I've seen on you! I love that skirt--the ruffle detail is just divine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-catch-up---a-weekend-in-suits-heels-silk-blouses#post-630319 Sun, 27 May 2012 22:06:01 +0000 Laura 630319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well in these authoritative suits I would pretty much acquiesce to whatever you were directing! Herding cats, herding dancers ... I can imagine that being pretty much the same deal. And as Kari said, #4 is just a superb silhouette for your figure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-catch-up---a-weekend-in-suits-heels-silk-blouses#post-630305 Sun, 27 May 2012 21:36:01 +0000 Midwest Girl 630305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in the suits-very professional and put together and the dress is lovely on you! My favorite though is #4--so chic!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-catch-up---a-weekend-in-suits-heels-silk-blouses#post-630264 Sun, 27 May 2012 19:52:54 +0000 Tanya 630264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much ladies! I really appreciate your advice about tucking - will try it next time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-catch-up---a-weekend-in-suits-heels-silk-blouses#post-630210 Sun, 27 May 2012 18:54:02 +0000 Kiwichik 630210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love browsing your looks and am captivated by outfit 4 that skirt is fab love the ruffles down the side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-catch-up---a-weekend-in-suits-heels-silk-blouses#post-630190 Sun, 27 May 2012 18:41:58 +0000 christy 630190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, you look great in suits! All of these are great outfits, but #4 is outstanding. Really great silhouette for you. Slippery fabrics can be tough to keep in place. I just adjust as I go unless I'm wearing a skirt with hose and then I do tuck into the hose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-catch-up---a-weekend-in-suits-heels-silk-blouses#post-630183 Sun, 27 May 2012 18:32:49 +0000 christieanne 630183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tucking slippery fabric into suit bottoms is always tricky. I also do the tuck into something else (which is where hosiery used to come in handy when women still wore that). </p> <p>Looking great in your suits - I really like the pencil skirt look in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-catch-up---a-weekend-in-suits-heels-silk-blouses#post-630172 Sun, 27 May 2012 18:23:49 +0000 Meredith1953 630172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous sophisticated outfits! I second what Kari says about tucking the blouse into a bike short or hipslip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-catch-up---a-weekend-in-suits-heels-silk-blouses#post-630171 Sun, 27 May 2012 18:21:53 +0000 Kari 630171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, Tanya, that sounds like a fun (and challenging!) event to organize. I love the cut of your suits, but #4 particularly wowed me. </p> <p>As far as the slippage of blouses under skirts... I usually wear either Spanx-like shorts under my skirts, or a half slip, and I tuck the blouse underneath the shorts or slip (sometimes even under my hose), which anchors the top in place. Slippage and fussiness drive me nuts too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-catch-up---a-weekend-in-suits-heels-silk-blouses#post-630162 Sun, 27 May 2012 17:56:42 +0000 Tanya 630162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are outfits I wore three weeks ago (right before I started my non denim challenge) for a long weekend where I worked on organizing committee of a ballroom dance competition. The occasion required much more formal dressing than I normally do, which I enjoyed, and I thought it would be fun to post these as I don not think I have ever posted a photo of me in a suit before.</p> <p>Outfits #1, 2 and 4 are what I actually wore while trying to coordinate 20+ people on various days ( if you look at this youtube video on herding cats you will know exactly how I felt <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_MaJDK3VNE" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_MaJDK3VNE</a>) and trying to look authoritative and in control. #3 was for a dance social on a main evening.</p> <p>I have a question for all of you who wear blouses tucked in pants/skirts: how do you manage to keep them in place the whole day? All of these blouses are silk and therefore quite slippery, they kept going up, pooffing at the sides and generally driving me batty the whole day.</p> <p>#1: Navy pinstripe suit and skinny silver belt - Express, lavender silk blouse - BCBG, nude wedges - Franco Sarto<br /> #2: Black pantsuit and zebra skinny belt - Express, white silk blouse with black tie - Club Monaco, red patent pumps - Michael Kors<br /> #3: Turquoise dress - Boston Proper,nude wedges - Franco Sarto<br /> #4: Black self-patterned blouse - Equipment, black pencil skirt - Express, red patent pumps - Michael Kors </p>
