The red color is lovely on you and that style is tidy and well behaved! The AMQ is so striking no the way you wear it.

Red and black is a tough one for me too, may be a bit too much contrast, but it seemed perfect for the first day back. Thank you Ms Maven and Mainelady and Rachylou. Thank you Opaline and Bijou.

The puffed sleeve at the shoulder jacket is cute on you and adds to your look. I have never been a huge fan of red with black but you have changed my mind. YLF!

That scarf really makes the first outfit and I love the way you've worn it. I like scarves for warmth, but they can get in the way, so I am going to copy you.   Mainelady on "WIW first week of the New Year" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-week-of-the-new-year#post-1988872 Sat, 05 Jan 2019 11:20:43 +0000 Mainelady 1988872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hands down, all are absolutely gorgeous!

Now this is how I want to dress for work, executive style at its feminine best. Jane on "WIW first week of the New Year" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-week-of-the-new-year#post-1988833 Sat, 05 Jan 2019 07:42:42 +0000 Jane 1988833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gretchen, thank you. It is a asymmetrical hem, with a kind of fold of fabric to the right side. Lovely, wool, lined. May be it is strong saturated colours. Good thinking! A colour I have yet to try is the conker / saffron colour that I think you are thinking of wearing.  Jenni, thank you, these are long days on the commute, I am sure your sister finds it the same, because I leave the house in the dark and then arrive back when it is dark. Suz, that is so lovely to read; I really don't want to lose a feminine look! I feel so easy wearing scarves (especially now I can wear the red one in a neat way - it doesn't boss me around now!) Angie, thank you, yay, 20! Big smile and an inch taller! I was so pleased with the poufy blazer but the back is a little big, next time I need to remember to not just look at the front. Yes, I am energised and happy! I need to keep in mind that I want to keep all four 'p's including the pretty! LisaP, I thought you would like the scarf. There is a new AMQ store that has opened recently on Bond Street, and in the double height front window, they suspended the various AMQ motifs - lots of butterflies especially. Thank you for your wonderful boosting comments.  Thank you Aquamarine. Jussie, thank you! Thank you kkards, I have been enjoying rediscovering my love of belts. Thank you Smittie.  Thank you bj1111, it is a very large square in a kind of light wool. It drapes so well.  Thank you Isabel!

You score 20 out of 10.  I LOVE the first outfit with the tomato accents in #1 to #3. Gorgeous with your complexion. Energizing and happy. The pouffy blazer is dead right for your body type. You were made to wear it!  #7 is elegant and classic. And always PPPP = Polished, Pretty, Professional and Powerful.  Rock on.  Jenni NZ on "WIW first week of the New Year" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-week-of-the-new-year#post-1988668 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 21:51:26 +0000 Jenni NZ 1988668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sorry Suz, forum writer-in-residence, but shouldn't that be scarves?! Suz on "WIW first week of the New Year" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-week-of-the-new-year#post-1988665 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 21:47:28 +0000 Suz 1988665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jane, you look absolutely amazing. The scarfs are beautiful signature accessories -- so special and elevating -- and your clothing is feminine yet authoritative.  Jenni NZ on "WIW first week of the New Year" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-week-of-the-new-year#post-1988641 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 20:34:44 +0000 Jenni NZ 1988641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are all great, Jane! As I sit here in our summer it is a little odd to think of a dark UK winter and your train travel- mind you my sister does train travel from Oxford to London one-two days a week so it should be in my head! I especially love the pops of red to brighten it up. Gretchen on "WIW first week of the New Year" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-week-of-the-new-year#post-1988618 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 19:15:37 +0000 Gretchen 1988618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the scarves! What great colors for you! It’s hard to see in the skirt picture, but is that purple with the asymmetrical skirt? Wondering if part of your evolving work uniform is a focus on strong, saturated colors? They look great on you, and could easily bring richness and creativity to your uniform. Just a thought, Jane on "WIW first week of the New Year" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-week-of-the-new-year#post-1988616 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 18:56:55 +0000 Jane 1988616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Dear Fabbers, I was so inspired and grateful for your support on my recent posts, that I’ve taken a few WIW photos for work outfits this week. Each outfit was a strong 8 / 9. I loved wearing the red silk scarf and managed to tie it in a neat way so didn’t feel it was in the way. The Alexander McQueen scarf I also really enjoyed wearing today and haven’t worn it in this way before, long, open but it felt good. All comments welcome!
