So many comments! All of you are so kind, and I really appreciate all the tips, like wearing a bracelet, woven pants,&nbsp;or a pencil skirt. I do own a few skirts, although I haven't worn them in awhile. I've been feeling a tad self conscious about my thick calves! The last time I wore a skirt I was asked by an acquaintance. "Are you retaining water?" I said, "No, I just have thick calves!"&nbsp;ha ha.&nbsp;</p> <p>Heels would probably help, but I just&nbsp;don't wear them.&nbsp;Oh well, I think I shouldn't worry about it too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-just-starting-out-office#post-989971 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 10:57:27 +0000 Krista 989971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome and congratulations on your first WIW! I will echo the others and say that this is a lovely outfit. The soft colour of the top, as well as its neckline, is really flattering on you. I was also going to suggest a pencil skirt but Ceit said it first! You have great curves and a pencil skirt would really define them.</p> <p>And yes, one day you will look back and see a change. That's the power of YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-just-starting-out-office#post-989955 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 10:29:57 +0000 Anonymous 989955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! That lavender is a beautiful colour on you, and the feminine touches on the neckline suit you well. The pants are a good length. Have you tried a grey pencil skirt to the knee? I think that would look good too (if you wear skirts!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-just-starting-out-office#post-989943 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 10:11:11 +0000 kkards 989943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>welcome. i want to echo what the others have said, that color is great on you! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-just-starting-out-office#post-989930 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 09:07:34 +0000 Ornella 989930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome. Congratulations on the first step.</p> <p>Yup, I am pretty sure in no time you'll look back at this and notice the change. You will perhaps wear the exact same things, but you'll feel different about your choice. I can&nbsp;guarantee that much.</p> <p>I think this is super outfit. The top colour suits you beautifully. The detailing around the neckline is feminine and gentle, much like your smile. The pants are the right length (big thing around here and rightly so,&nbsp;it does make a huge difference to an overall silhouette).</p> <p>Looking forward to seeing more from you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-just-starting-out-office#post-989924 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 08:21:36 +0000 Deborah 989924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi sweetpotato! The lavender is a beautiful colour on you and it flatters you very pretty face. Your outfit is nicely put together and you don't necessarily need accessories bit you could add a cuff or bracelet for example. For the office you might like to add some structure with a more tailored topper. Look forward to seeing more of your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-just-starting-out-office#post-989918 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 08:11:20 +0000 lyn67 989918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great summery outfit for the office! YLF!&nbsp;Love the greys with lavenders. Esp love the neckline detail-so perhaps no need for other accaessories, at all. And esp love that shoes are coloured, too! (grey? but they look lavender to me, anyway- both&nbsp;are a good choice for summer) </p> <p>Oh, and wellcome!:-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-just-starting-out-office#post-989898 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 06:30:27 +0000 Hil 989898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi! Tracina and Lantana are right - the lavender is lovely on you and compliments your pretty face! Welcome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-just-starting-out-office#post-989896 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 06:27:22 +0000 Lantana 989896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome and congratulations on your first WIW. I too find the lavender colour suits you well. If you are looking for more definition in your " line" you could begin with swapping out the knit for woven pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-just-starting-out-office#post-989886 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 06:04:29 +0000 Anonymous 989886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome and congrats on your first post.&nbsp; You can't help but grow fashion wise by coming here.<br />The lavender is a great color on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-just-starting-out-office#post-989883 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 05:55:25 +0000 sweetpotato 989883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is my first WIW post. I am just starting out trying to learn how to dress better.&nbsp;This outfit is what I wore to the office yesterday. It's much like most of my outfits: simple with no accessories. Hopefully, I'll be able to look back on this in the future&nbsp;and note some improvement.</p> <p>Lavender shirt: Kohl's (I like the color &amp;&nbsp;that it has detail at the neckline)<br />Grey Pants: Kohl's&nbsp;<br />Grey Shoes: Target<br />Black purse: The Sak (Nordstrom's Rack)</p> <p>* Next time I'll try to use a camera rather than a camera phone... </p>
