I wouldn't have worn something like this when I was a grad student, but our dress code was much more casual. Even wearing a denim skirt would cause people to ask why I was so dressed up.</p> <p>You're right Ornella,&nbsp;I think dark hose would probably tone it down a little bit.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-and-lace-1#post-1057325 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 07:45:02 +0000 Ornella 1057325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in&nbsp;love with the outfit. Black and green look so nice togehter. And flared dress of all, so pretty and feminine.</p> <p>Regarding your boss' reaction, do I remember correctly you work at school? I guess the environmental norm would play some role in his/her reaction? Lace, leather, black booties.. I'm just trying to find some explanation. </p> <p>I think&nbsp;as a variation you might try black tights and I bet the vibe (and subsequent reaction)&nbsp;would be a lot more toned down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-and-lace-1#post-1057324 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 07:39:27 +0000 Liz A. 1057324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hard to tell the length from this angle, but it looks good from here. In my workplace this might be considered somewhat casual. I've worn more casual, but I like to press my luck like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-and-lace-1#post-1057237 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 03:49:35 +0000 catgirl 1057237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's great and totally appropriate for work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-and-lace-1#post-1057227 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 03:36:27 +0000 Jodi 1057227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-and-lace-1#post-1057213 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 03:23:01 +0000 Neel 1057213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that green dress!! &nbsp;And this looks pretty glam for work &nbsp;May be the boss was feeling a bit under dressed &nbsp;Now that's a good thing, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-and-lace-1#post-1057158 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 02:12:40 +0000 Archer 1057158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks gorgeous. &nbsp;Need more info on the boss and the type of work to rule it out. &nbsp;No jobs that come to mind would preclude it in Australia - unless you are on a conservative board of governors or maybe the principal of a school and even then..... depends. &nbsp;Is it the type of work or the the type of boss that gave you the doubt.<br />&nbsp; The dress is gorgeous and really suits you but&nbsp;he boots and socks make the outfit. &nbsp;I wish I was young enough to wear it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-and-lace-1#post-1057050 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 00:17:16 +0000 pil 1057050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a pretty dress - yes, your boss probably isn't used to the bootie combination. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-and-lace-1#post-1057047 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 00:13:47 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1057047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's not only work appropriate but absolutely fab in you. That green is a gorgeous colour in you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-and-lace-1#post-1057044 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 00:10:31 +0000 Kristin L 1057044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rute and Kellygirl. That's what I was hoping. I'm not normally an edgy person, but I fell in love the boots when I saw them.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-and-lace-1#post-1057015 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 23:46:31 +0000 kellygirl 1057015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute! I think your boss may not be used to the booties with the dress--that's what I'm guessing. You look great. I love the edge the booties add.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-and-lace-1#post-1057012 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 23:45:18 +0000 rute 1057012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-and-lace-1#post-1057011 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 23:44:24 +0000 Kristin L 1057011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore this to work on Friday and I'm not 100% sure what to think of it. I got a lot of compliments on how cute I looked (and one of my coworkers said she loved seeing what I wear to work every day), but my boss definitely gave me the once over, so I'm thinking I'm wondering if this may have been a touch inappropriate for work. I also belted the cardigan as well (I'm not sure if it's obvious in the pic).</p> <p>Dress - Modcloth<br />Cardigan - Mango<br />Belt - off an Antonio Melini dress<br />Boots - Born</p> <p>What do you ya'll think? Too much for work? Or could it be that my boss isn't use to something like this? </p>
