But little one here is both a barracuda and a monkey. I used to wear a wooden bangle a good while but even that he decided was a teether. switched to rubber... chomped right through. now I am kicking myself for not stocking up on silk jewellery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real#post-1253610 Fri, 16 May 2014 23:40:19 +0000 Aida 1253610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great WAHM outfit! Comfortable and cool for at home, and nice enough to pop out if something comes up. And if that something needs a step extra, you could easily add jewelry or a scarf or swap to dressier shoes. Very versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real#post-1253479 Fri, 16 May 2014 19:52:56 +0000 Parsley 1253479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that's a pretty fabulous work-at-home casual look, Mani.<br />Definitely worth posting! </p> <p>Your style&nbsp;<u>has</u> come a long way from when you first started posting here. You look great!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real#post-1253393 Fri, 16 May 2014 18:21:51 +0000 Anonymous 1253393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit for what your day throws at you and on trend too, lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real#post-1253388 Fri, 16 May 2014 18:19:32 +0000 rachylou 1253388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. It's flattering and modern. And lively </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real#post-1253311 Fri, 16 May 2014 16:47:51 +0000 Beth Ann 1253311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Doing happy dance)</p> <p>I remember your early WIW posts -- you were ruthlessly purging and trying new combinations fearlessly and with great creativity.&nbsp; Proper fits make even the simplest of outfits sing --- you have a good, strong sandal that's trending now, a modern, flattering fit in your jeans, and a skimming tee in a neutral, but interesting print.&nbsp; Awesome!&nbsp; Proportions are great here - long and lean! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real#post-1253227 Fri, 16 May 2014 14:53:52 +0000 kellygirl 1253227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great example of a basic formula! I wear this too! YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real#post-1253184 Fri, 16 May 2014 13:41:11 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1253184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great casual look! You could run to pick up a few groceries and be fine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real#post-1253181 Fri, 16 May 2014 13:37:04 +0000 Helena 1253181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the top - so cute! I bought Birks the other day which I never would have done with YLF ... I love them so much I haven't worn anything else :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Great outfit!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real#post-1253174 Fri, 16 May 2014 13:31:56 +0000 Sara L. 1253174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this outfit looks great for working from home with a small child.&nbsp; I would probably add a bracelet or necklace to feel more complete (but that's just me - I need jewelry to feel full dressed) but those can be difficult with young children.&nbsp; I'm rediscovering that I have to be very careful what necklaces I wear since baby boy grabs everything and sticks it in his mouth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real#post-1253109 Fri, 16 May 2014 10:56:32 +0000 ManidipaM 1253109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies. </p> <p>Deborah, you make an important point--I would pop out to the shops in this like Lyn says. Earlier avatars of working-from-home would often necessitate a change. But the toddler makes wardrobe breaks a pleasant myth. I should thank him sometime! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real#post-1253078 Fri, 16 May 2014 10:03:54 +0000 Style Fan 1253078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great!&nbsp; Denim and a cute top with Birkies.&nbsp; How FAB is that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real#post-1253062 Fri, 16 May 2014 09:23:16 +0000 lyn67 1253062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;More than great for staying at home-to me is grocery or a casual walk and running errands, too:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real#post-1253060 Fri, 16 May 2014 09:20:48 +0000 Deborah 1253060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a cute outfit. You look smart and fresh and perfect for working at Home and you are more than presentable should you have to pop out or someone drops by. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real#post-1253058 Fri, 16 May 2014 09:17:11 +0000 ManidipaM 1253058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would not normally post this but for reasons I mentioned in response to Mo's post on gear and because, while not great or even at all stylish, this represents a leap from my baseline WAHM uniform when I first delurked. so grateful to so many here, not least Greg and Angie.</p> <p>new straight legs I sized up in. old tshirt. both M&amp;S. go-to Birkies. </p>
