Wear it out, if not to work. Or wear it on a day when you are up and around more, rather than sitting at the desk. I agree, perhaps with those pretty low-heeled shoes, the jacket might feel less formal and more wearable? But I also know that how something feels is just as important as how it looks. </p> <p>Oh, and I like your reality outfit, too!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-vs-reality-or-what-wed-looks-like#post-1484602 Fri, 01 May 2015 02:26:02 +0000 Jaime 1484602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the fantasy jacket on you and agree with everyone that you should wear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-vs-reality-or-what-wed-looks-like#post-1484549 Fri, 01 May 2015 00:40:41 +0000 Karie 1484549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bring the fantasy into reality! I known as the one who overdresses for work. I don't care. The jacket doesn't look standoffish at all, it looks gorgeous!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-vs-reality-or-what-wed-looks-like#post-1484545 Fri, 01 May 2015 00:28:12 +0000 Daria 1484545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i absolutely love your fantasy outfit and that gorgeous jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-vs-reality-or-what-wed-looks-like#post-1484240 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 19:47:11 +0000 donnat 1484240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous jacket, but I understand how you feel. I am guilty of<br /> the same thing. I think it is somehow related to comfort though. Sitting at your desk all day... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-vs-reality-or-what-wed-looks-like#post-1483960 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 18:15:14 +0000 Angie 1483960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo Diane and Ladyone 100%. Wear the gorgeous jacket. It costs nothing to sport this Fantasy look. COMPLETELY appropriate. A gorgeous look on you.</p> <p>You *could* wear the jacket with jeans to dress it down - if that makes you feel more comfortable. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-vs-reality-or-what-wed-looks-like#post-1483938 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 17:59:43 +0000 Summer 1483938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This makes perfect sense to me: pared down, more casual version for work, beautiful jacket plus dressier finishing touches for a special look. Both outfits are lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-vs-reality-or-what-wed-looks-like#post-1483909 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 17:32:41 +0000 E 1483909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that jacket! And the idea to wear it with flats for a less formal feel. I can definitely see you wearing the fantasy outfit in the office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-vs-reality-or-what-wed-looks-like#post-1483904 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 17:28:47 +0000 rachylou 1483904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very sophisticated - both versions. I agree, make fantasy reality </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-vs-reality-or-what-wed-looks-like#post-1483736 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 16:26:41 +0000 kkards 1483736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>viva---yes in my extreme fantasy world, i would wear this with jeans to work....because i think the jeans would "soften it".<br />ladywone --need to think about how to make this fantasy a reality.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-vs-reality-or-what-wed-looks-like#post-1483602 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 15:42:12 +0000 viva 1483602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally agree with ladywone -- bring that fantasy into reality! That is an AMAZING long jacket. I think it would be gorgeous over skinny jeans with a tee and black ballet flats. I definitely see what you mean that it is more structured than the cardigan (and the reality outfit is great as it is) -- but I think you can definitely work this fab jacket into a more casual look for something interesting and still warm and approachable. It's really about feeling comfortable in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-vs-reality-or-what-wed-looks-like#post-1483559 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 15:29:46 +0000 shedev 1483559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very nice in both outfits. The fantasy outfit has really nice lines, more long and lean than the first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-vs-reality-or-what-wed-looks-like#post-1483438 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 14:56:18 +0000 Ledonna N. 1483438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in both but, I say it's time to start bringing your fantasy into reality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-vs-reality-or-what-wed-looks-like#post-1482598 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:05:09 +0000 Anonymous 1482598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I get you, yes, it does look a little like a knit. I just adjusted my brightness setting on my laptop and I see it better now. I do love the texture of it. You need to wear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-vs-reality-or-what-wed-looks-like#post-1482593 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 10:52:45 +0000 kkards 1482593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>diane, i think that the lower shoes would lend a less dressy feel…maybe i'll have to try that. and interesting that in the pictures the fantasy jacket reads as knit, because its actually a woven, and i think thats what makes it more formal--its stiffer than a sweater because its lined.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-vs-reality-or-what-wed-looks-like#post-1482588 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 10:33:03 +0000 Anonymous 1482588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your reality outfit is great. I love the gold on the heels of your shoes. The fantasy outfit is beautiful. The line of the longer cardigan is fab. It's a shame you don't feel appropriate to wear to work as I don't think you look stand-offish at all&nbsp;to me. Would you have the same feelings if it were a long line fabric jacket? To me a knit has a slightly more casual vibe. Perhaps if you popped on the shoes in #1 with it you may not feel quite so formal? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-vs-reality-or-what-wed-looks-like#post-1482583 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 10:22:44 +0000 kkards 1482583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i realized after looking at these pictures this morning that maybe a mostly black outfit makes it hard to see the details of what makes the fantasy so different from the reality. but let me tell you, its all in the details. the fantasy outfit (#2) is a long jacket that has a chanelish feel. the reality(#1) is a slightly oversized lightweight wool cardi, and that changes the feel of the outfit completely. at least to me, the fantasy is kind of stately and dressed, the reality is &nbsp;Wednesday i'm going to be at my desk all day trying to catch up….anyway, i love the jacket in the fantasy look, but rarely wear it, because it always seems more formal and sort of standoffish than my workplace. does that make sense?&nbsp;</p>
