If you have to work, why not travel while you're doing it? That's so cool... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-trip-of-the-year#post-1406146 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 05:24:14 +0000 shiny 1406146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know the funny thing, Sarah? When I was in transition I debated long and hard, for about 6 months, about taking off some time to do other things. I really wanted to take some time off and&nbsp;travel for awhile, both domestically and interanationally. Had timing been better (no kids' college tuition to support, no ailing in-laws) I may have done just that. </p> <p>At one point, I fretted that maybe my internal conflict (travel/time off versus getting a job) was interfering with forward motion. So I let it go, and let the universe decide......</p> <p>Shortly after,&nbsp;I got the job offer.... for this job that required travel.&nbsp;</p> <p>It makes me laugh, just thinking about it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I just counted it up. I've been on 18 trips in the past 12 months (counting vacation/personal trips).&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-trip-of-the-year#post-1406132 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 05:03:09 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1406132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are so great, and #2 is spectacular for sure! I also love your hair! I must admit, I've always pined a little after the idea of traveling for work - not all the time, but just once in a while. I think it's the idea of getting to put together outfits like this! You look wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-trip-of-the-year#post-1406117 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 04:28:18 +0000 shiny 1406117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jackie-&nbsp;</b>I might have to move south so I can have more flippy hair days. The Vince scuba jacket is from this past spring, but I do think it is still available and in many renditions (slightly heavier leather and different colors). I do love it but I have to tell you, the zipper is giving me trouble. I was waiting on the curb for DH to pick me up at the airport and the zipper would not zip and grrrrrr... otherwise the quality is spectacular.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Laurie -&nbsp;</b>I am really really tempted to duplicate this clutch in a different color. But, which?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-trip-of-the-year#post-1405922 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 21:06:38 +0000 Angie 1405922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2.

First thing I noticed was your fantastic "travel-hair!" Isn't it funny how hair behaves differently? Your hair always looks great to me, but I especially love that flippy thing when you travel! And GAH!!! The Vince scuba jacket! Is that this years? I was stalking it and then forgot about it. Love love love it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-trip-of-the-year#post-1405733 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 11:44:47 +0000 crutcher 1405733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your travel wardrobe is full of great choices...I like how you are able to incorporate FAB tops with a variety of looks...and the last casual Saturday is the perfect end to a great week of style...THX for sharing... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-trip-of-the-year#post-1405729 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 11:32:58 +0000 kkards 1405729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;it must feel good to know that you'll be home for the next couple of weeks.&nbsp;<br />great outfits, love a good ponte knit skinny pant--totally comfortable, but so easy to dress up or down. and the&nbsp;clutch&nbsp;-fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-trip-of-the-year#post-1405726 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 11:23:39 +0000 Anonymous 1405726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Before I read Caro's comment my first thought was sharp You look fab in all iterations.

I agree with youn the top in pic 4. I love the color and shape. Kudos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-trip-of-the-year#post-1405578 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 23:49:55 +0000 shiny 1405578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like I get to stow my luggage away for the remainder of this year. Here's what I wore this week on my final business trip of the year, plus a bonus pic #5 outfit worn this weekend. </p> <p>You'll note that it's a very similar formula to the last trip. It's a strategy that is working, but I do admit I'm getting a little bored and would welcome suggestions on how to spice things up -- without overpacking. I've been mulling over some ideas myself, but I'd like to hear your suggestions!</p> <p>Pic 1 - WiW to fly there and be presentable for drinks with colleagues when I arrived. Vince striped top, BR scarf, Theory pants, Clare V clutch &amp;&nbsp;(not shown - the Vince scuba jacket worn over). Yes, this top is similar to the VC top I wore on my last trip. Except it's more fluid, which I like - hides my belly, which always seems to expand on airplanes.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 2 - LOFT ponte knit skinnies (yes I have two pairs, different brands but I don't think anyone can tell the difference!). LOFT peasant blouse. Vince scuba jacket &amp; (not shown, the same cobalt scarf), the same clutch &amp; booties&nbsp;again. Note the hair. It was doing this flippy thing. Somehow, whenever I travel, I get at least one day when my hair wants to flip out. I suppose it is different water in the hotel, different shampoo, higher humidity. I can't get it to do that here at home.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 4 - better pic of the blouse. I really love this blouse!!! Love the color, love the fit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 3 - I forgot to take a pic on day 2, so you have to imagine. I basically wore the same outfit, but with this LOFT blouse instead. No scarf that day. Instead of the scuba jacket, I wore my long cascading Theory cardigan which you can see in my previous WiW.&nbsp;</p> <p>What I packed but did not wear: just four items! </p> <p>1) loafers - if it had been warmer, I planned to wear these sock less. But it turned out to be chilly, so I stuck with the booties + warm socks instead.</p> <p>2) black crew neck&nbsp;cardigan - it's always packed in my luggage, just in case.&nbsp;</p> <p>3) a scarf. I couldn't figure out what scarf to wear with blouse in pic #3, so I brought two along.&nbsp;</p> <p>4) AG skinny jeans. I assessed the situation. Nobody else was in jeans for this meeting, so they went unworn.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 5 - the bonus pic - outfit worn over the weekend. This green knit cardigan is also LOFT. It's a gorgeous shade of emerald, very comfy, and not too heavy (i.e., perfect for milder winter climes). But here I have it paired with vintage Jcrew white cotton tee, which I would not wear for work. And flat loafers.&nbsp; </p>
