Make do with the blue instead </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-dc-days-3-4-plus-my-inadvertent-travel-capsule#post-651021 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 14:39:36 +0000 Diana 651021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everyone!</p> <p>Tanya, I remember the pink version of this print! I actually wish I had duplicated this skirt in that color as well, since it's proven to be really versatile and the knit fabrication makes it super good for things like traveling.</p> <p>Angie, the dress is actually navy, not black. I'm actually glad you mistook it for black though since I've been wanting a casual summer LBD and haven't been able to find one that's not too bombshelly, so I may just make do with this blue one instead. </p> <p>Isabel, there was a young female assistant professor there who gave a talk the same day as I did. She was dressed in all black with a high-low dress, puffy-sleeved ruched blazer, and knee-high lace up boots. I appreciated her sartorial boldness but couldn't help but feel it was a little too goth and seasonally inappropriate for the setting. If you don't consider the context, though, she looked good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-dc-days-3-4-plus-my-inadvertent-travel-capsule#post-650893 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 12:47:32 +0000 Anonymous 650893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the mileage you are getting with those yellow sandals --- they really add an extra fillip to an outfit. I love the dress and belt together also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-dc-days-3-4-plus-my-inadvertent-travel-capsule#post-650884 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 12:35:53 +0000 harmonica 650884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you look amazing in all these outfits! I love how you incorporate *you* in your professional outfits. ANd theat neon belt is just fab!</p> <p>I actually had a similar H&amp;M circle skirt, but it was grey. I tossed it because I found it hard to wear, maybe the black would have been more versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-dc-days-3-4-plus-my-inadvertent-travel-capsule#post-650845 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 11:07:39 +0000 lyn67 650845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES YES YES I love your capsule so much especially because it's dark!

I really enjoyed the entire trip's worth of outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-dc-days-3-4-plus-my-inadvertent-travel-capsule#post-650533 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 23:13:08 +0000 Angie 650533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are cuter than cute!

I hope the talk went well. I'm sure you created a lot of bzzz (sorry bad pun). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-dc-days-3-4-plus-my-inadvertent-travel-capsule#post-650518 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 23:00:05 +0000 Kiwichik 650518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All cute outfits I particularly like the skirt with circles paired with the teal jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-dc-days-3-4-plus-my-inadvertent-travel-capsule#post-650506 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 22:53:43 +0000 Tanya 650506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both new outfits Diana! The neon belt is perfect on you. I have that same skirt too, only mine is pink with white circles </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-dc-days-3-4-plus-my-inadvertent-travel-capsule#post-650504 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 22:51:46 +0000 Aida 650504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Business Di still has a great arty and soft edge! The new neon pink belt is awesome, love the wrap around style. You know, the inadvertent capsule is pretty good actually! You'd still have a few other outfit options, if it came up </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-dc-days-3-4-plus-my-inadvertent-travel-capsule#post-650503 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 22:51:45 +0000 Lyn D. 650503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pop of colour in the belt is lovely with the dress, and gives it a perfect dressier vibe for the occasion.<br /> I like the drapey effect of the teal blazer, and the colour adds a lighter, more Summery feel to your darker neutrals. All lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-dc-days-3-4-plus-my-inadvertent-travel-capsule#post-650492 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 22:37:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 650492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love seeing "business" Diana (lol)! Outfit #1 is fantastic - professional and still "you". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-dc-days-3-4-plus-my-inadvertent-travel-capsule#post-650489 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 22:26:27 +0000 Diana 650489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are my outfits for my final two days in DC. </p> <p>1/2: blazer and skirt - on this day I had to give a short talk at my conference, so I wanted to look a little more professional but not business-y. Dinner with my sister in the evening, and it was very hot so I removed the jacket. The blazer and skirt are both knits.<br /> Nic+Zoe knit blazer, BR top, H&amp;M skirt, Taryn Rose sandals</p> <p>3/4: navy sack dress with new neon pink belt from Zara. It was approximately one million degrees in DC and Boston today so I was glad I brought my go-to summer cotton sack dress which is very light. The belt is a purchase from the DC YLF meetup on Sunday - I wanted something neon! Swapped the sandals out halfway through the day for the black ones in the previous picture because the yellow ones were actually making my feet too sweaty/sticky in this awful heat. Also wore the turquoise blazer in the freezing hotel and plane but didn't get a photo.<br /> H&amp;M dress, Zara belt, Fly London shoes</p> <p>5: I didn't plan on a capsule wardrobe for this trip since it was only 4 days (so I just picked 4 outfits) and only repeated shoes, jackets, and handbag. However, looking at my four outfits side by side, apparently I inadvertently created a capsule consisting of blues/teals with dark neutrals. This may say something about the color diversity of my summer wardrobe.... </p>
