It is warning a little. I think it is 12-20 today as opposed to say 8-16 a few months ago. And a lot lighter. I am still wearing a coat when outside but I do run cold.</p> <p>Lyn 67 -I think the blazer plus a - line skirt plus bow combo&nbsp; would be what gives off the Olympic vibe</p> <p>Beth Ann and Lisa - I have one striped top but it's on its last leg. I did used to wear the skirt casually in the tired old black turtleneck sweater combination. But your encouragement has made me not through the skirt out. I think I am a bit big for it now, but perhaps the waistline will fit again some day.&nbsp; (I made it myself, so could tailor the waistband to my exact measurements, though bought ones are often a bit loose. But the downside is when i put on weight and it doesn't fit anymore) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-athletics-carnival-and-work#post-1034330 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 21:46:54 +0000 Karie 1034330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the red skirt and the Mary Jane pumps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-athletics-carnival-and-work#post-1034235 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 19:38:53 +0000 Lisa 1034235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous color skirt.&nbsp; And I second Beth Ann, the skirt would be great with tall boots and sweaters for fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-athletics-carnival-and-work#post-1034160 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 17:16:03 +0000 Beth Ann 1034160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, the bow is a nod to the 80's, but the rest is classic, and very workplace appropriate.&nbsp; What about opening the bottom button of the coat, and just leaving the top buttoned?</p> <p>Also -- that skirt needs to see action with sweaters and boots this fall.&nbsp; Do you have any striped tees or sweaters?&nbsp; They'd look great over this skirt for a more casual look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-athletics-carnival-and-work#post-1034151 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 17:02:08 +0000 Suz 1034151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red is lovely on you, Anne!

Also the homemade by me waist fastenings broke </p>
