So I had no time to find a full length mirror. That dress is one I've worn twice and I hope I can buy it if RTR ever sells it. I've never loved a dressy dress on me more, except my wedding dress.</p> <p><b>smittie </b>I have fussy feet and am so glad I can find walking sneakers in crazy colors these days. Those kicks made me smile all weekend during my trip to Boston.</p> <p><b>Ryce </b>the shoes were killing me after an over 12 hour day. I have to be more selective about wearing them. They're form Boden, so I think European fit is a bit off on me too, alas. And I'm convinced the lemming blouse does magic things for people.</p> <p>I've got to work on taking these photos in better lighting. My bathroom is too tiny for me to do much of a better job at home. The work bathroom may be better than the work gym.</p> <p>I meant to add some more thoughts before but was pressed for time. FWIW: </p> <p>My goal for this past week was to mix in some of my dressier items so I actually wear them. I think I'm succeeding. My problem is that I'm always attracted to fun or bright or shiny things, but since I don't like to be bright and shiny all over if I'm wearing separates, I need to give more basic pieces attention too. But I'm currently drooling over some iridescent Birkenstocks, so I guess I'll never learn. But I rediscovered those slacks from the opera outfit in my closet, and they fit better than before (might have lost weight), so I do have some pieces. Just need to remember them admidst all the purple and conversational prints. </p> <p>When I was a teen, everyone wore khaki and earth tones from the Gap (there were a lot of Italian girls at my school who looked great in earth tones, and I've never favored them). I got myself a purse in a fluorescent comic book print, and wore powder blue metallic eye shadow (I wetted the applicator to make it even more intense). I think, 20 years later, I'm still reacting against all that khaki, which I still don't wear unless it's travel gear for remote areas.</p> <p>That said, I keep skipping makeup these days (the event pic is a notable exception). I'm just not a morning person, and if I aim to go to the gym at lunch, I don't see the point of putting it on twice. But makeup is fun, and I miss it.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-including-fancy-attire#post-1803403 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 14:07:45 +0000 Anonymous 1803403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice choice on the RTR dress - I love the subtle print - great color on you.<br />Speaking of great colors, that Loft blouse makes you glow (or maybe it's just some really good makeup and lighting - whatever, keep it up!)</p> <p>Those gold shoes really make the outfit for the opera - love that combo.</p> <p>Thank goodness for Ebay when it comes to replacements, no? &nbsp;Glad that worked out for you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-including-fancy-attire#post-1803373 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 12:22:57 +0000 Anonymous 1803373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too really like 5. The cap sleeves are nice and the length of the top is great. Shoes are a nice statement too!</p> <p>You look lovely in your dressy outfit!</p> <p>The purple jacket looks like a nice tailored fit.</p> <p>I also like your bright pink kicks. I've had a similar pair for about 7 years (that I really need to replace!) and have always loved the pop of bright colour.</p> <p>Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-including-fancy-attire#post-1803361 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 11:49:16 +0000 Brooklyn 1803361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the colours and patterns that you wear. The first dress is gorgeous on you. I wish we could see all of it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-including-fancy-attire#post-1803160 Fri, 28 Apr 2017 21:22:08 +0000 Christina F. 1803160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Jenni. </b>That's actually today's outfit, for the opera after work - we go regularly and we usually dress up even less than I am today. We sit the nosebleeds and operas are LONG, so I want to be comfortable.. But I'm trying to use my dressier clothes. I don't need to dress up for work, but I apparently won't stop buying nicer pieces and I'm trying to mix and match. (The pants are navy, though - poor lighting strikes again!)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-including-fancy-attire#post-1803156 Fri, 28 Apr 2017 21:06:30 +0000 Jenni NZ 1803156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adore outfit 5. Amazing colours of top and metallic shoes with lovely black pants. My fave way to dress- statement top and shoes with essentials pants. Also love the colours of the Skechers. They would make me happy every time I saw my feet! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-including-fancy-attire#post-1803153 Fri, 28 Apr 2017 20:59:30 +0000 Christina F. 1803153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This includes a Rent the Runway dress I wore to an event, new Sketchers I got for walking, my favorite purple coat (I replaced it on eBay when the first one died) and my usual photos taken in the poorly lit work gym. Also starting a work remix of the Loft lemming top! </p>
