I so don't feel like a grown up and can get nervous when I have to spend time with "adults" lol. I think you hit the mark with your outfits. They all look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-like-an-adult#post-1254552 Sun, 18 May 2014 03:07:47 +0000 Suz 1254552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look incredibly pretty in all of these.&nbsp;</p> <p>Is it my imagination, or are you feeling more relaxed? Carter's right -- you look about 30 years old, and I think it might be the weight of the dissertation falling off your shoulders!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-like-an-adult#post-1254529 Sun, 18 May 2014 02:26:09 +0000 MuseumGal 1254529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone.&nbsp; I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who has a hard time with grownups!&nbsp; </p> <p>Peri, yes, the necklace is a hand skeleton - gift from a friend in grad school.</p> <p>You know, Day Vies, I often find myself dressing "down" - purposefully picking things that are perfectly appropriate but not as flattering as they could be - I've been pondering this tendency quite a bit lately, as I watch all of you do just the opposite.</p> <p>Ha, Carter, thanks, the whole "brown and plump" thing really started working for me sometime after about 30. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-like-an-adult#post-1254522 Sun, 18 May 2014 02:07:07 +0000 Jaime 1254522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all three look great.

You're 46? I've always thought of you as 29 or 30. No joke. I'm really shocked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-like-an-adult#post-1254211 Sat, 17 May 2014 18:29:01 +0000 unfrumped 1254211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these!

I love how you wear meaningful jewelry - that is my favorite kind. You look beautiful in all of the looks as a whole, and I also had favorite pieces from each look: the jade pendant, the maroon sweater, and the wrap dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-like-an-adult#post-1253772 Sat, 17 May 2014 02:43:42 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1253772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All are great!

Your grownup outfits look good </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-like-an-adult#post-1253678 Sat, 17 May 2014 01:25:24 +0000 lyn* 1253678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, grownups, what an odd bunch, eh? It's easier to dress to muck around at the playground with kids! It is fun to dress up sometimes, and disappointing when people wear "booty shorts" to professional events, like the speaker you mention.</p> <p>I for one love your pendant in 2, and the way you use your necklaces to elongate your look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-like-an-adult#post-1253677 Sat, 17 May 2014 01:21:43 +0000 MuseumGal 1253677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 46 years old, but an invitation to dinner with some of my husband's senior colleagues had me a bit stressed about what to wear for dinner "with the adults."&nbsp; Here are a few "grownup" outfits from the past two weeks:</p> <p>1 - Dinner with the adults - olive trousers, grey pullover (new this spring), "anthracite" shooties, and my Granny's jade pedant.&nbsp; Sedate, adult, but hopefully not too much of a snoozefest.</p> <p>2 - Drinks with the same adults + some junior colleagues at the local wine bar:&nbsp; boyfriend jeans, black lacy tank/shell, maroon ponte drapey blazer/cardigan hybrid, ancient black Dansko sandals, earrings bought in Corinth (Greece) on my honeymoon.</p> <p>3 - Lecture at the OKC MOA - green/brown floral wrap dress, acid green silk cardigan, knee high brown riding boots, and a pair of Peruvian opal earrings.&nbsp; Was pleased to see that most of my fellow attendees were also dressed as adults, instead of the booty shorts and flip flops I was expecting.</p> <p>Thanks for looking, comments and suggestions welcome. </p> </p>
