There is a skylight right over my desk so I think I'll be fine until the dead of winter!</p> <p>I did have to change out my boots, though. My shins were SO SORE from yesterday's wearing. If I wet my socks right where the boots hit, it will only work when the wet sock is touching the boot, right? So, only when I'm walking? (It doesn't touch my shin&nbsp;when standing still.) My socks would probably dry too quickly to be effective, since I have to wear very thin socks with those boots. Or is this something I should do around the house -- put them on with wet socks and get on the treadmill?</p> <p>Also, it started raining and I didn't want to mess them up. I wore an old pair of short black boots that I meant to donate last year, but it turns out they are <i>exactly</i> what I've been looking for this year, they just needed a comfy insole. </p> <p>Oh -- and I can't return the cardigan. I bought it in a store I don't have around me and the return period is past. It didn't cost much, so I don't mind having it. It's just strange that suddenly I'm having trouble styling it after years of wearing that exact style!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-but-old-and-planned-for-tomorrow#post-1030897 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 15:05:27 +0000 Angie 1030897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah. I see. I'd buy a blanket and drape it over my shoulders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-but-old-and-planned-for-tomorrow#post-1030707 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 09:08:20 +0000 Lantana 1030707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really liketheway you have styled the cardi and the colours look fab contrasted with your gorgeous dark locks.<br /> Best wishes for your first day at work.

Donna's tip is good for breaking in shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-but-old-and-planned-for-tomorrow#post-1030544 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 02:36:31 +0000 DonnaF 1030544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like that cardigan because of the pattern.&nbsp; Are you really going to return it?&nbsp; If you dampen the tops of your socks with water or rubbing alcohol before you stick your feet in your booties, it will help to speed the breaking in process. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-but-old-and-planned-for-tomorrow#post-1030538 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 02:19:43 +0000 Deborah 1030538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations and wishing you all the best for your first day back at work:)&nbsp; I think both outfits looks fab but do prefer #1 without the cardigan (I am not a lover of cardigans).&nbsp; Your first day at work outfit is so cool, love that jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-but-old-and-planned-for-tomorrow#post-1030534 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 02:08:45 +0000 pastrygirl 1030534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I fear that I will need a topper on TOP of these! At least that's the way it sounds when my husband talks. There are times he wishes he can wear gloves! I shall find out tomorrow!</p> <p>Suz, yes! I really do have to try on a billion things to figure out what in the world I actually want and like now. Even with all my recent purchases, there is SO much I didn't buy that I might've bought a year ago.</p> <p>I am so excited to be going back to work!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-but-old-and-planned-for-tomorrow#post-1030497 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 00:32:57 +0000 Anonymous 1030497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like that cardi on you! It doesn't read ho-hum at all. I hope you have a great day tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-but-old-and-planned-for-tomorrow#post-1030492 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 00:30:51 +0000 Angie 1030492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pastrygirl, these are GREAT outfits. Why are you thinking about fleece jacket replacements for the office when you can be wearing these types of toppers? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-but-old-and-planned-for-tomorrow#post-1030438 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 23:10:53 +0000 Caro in Oz 1030438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the first outfit without the cardigan (but I'm not a fan of them in general).&nbsp;#2 looks great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-but-old-and-planned-for-tomorrow#post-1030283 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 19:30:32 +0000 Beth Ann 1030283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both looks.&nbsp; #1 is classic modern, in my mind, but perhaps it is a formula you're ready to put on the back burner.&nbsp; I walked away from black work trousers for several years, because I was using them as a dull uniform.&nbsp; I love them on others, and they are now inching back as a part of my wardrobe.&nbsp; </p> <p>#2 is vibrant and professional.&nbsp; Terrific for a first day.&nbsp; Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-but-old-and-planned-for-tomorrow#post-1030259 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 19:02:55 +0000 Suz 1030259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's funny but I went through a similar process after weight loss. I quickly bought some items in my new size -- items that would formerly have been "go-to" staples. And then discovered I no longer felt the same way about them! Style changes come with body changes, I guess.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I like the cardigan with the boots (nice bookending). And you look bright and ready for action in #2. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-but-old-and-planned-for-tomorrow#post-1030228 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 18:06:25 +0000 pastrygirl 1030228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first photo features&nbsp;a new cardigan that I bought in August at the start of my wardrobe re-vamp, but have since decided that I'm kind of over this style of cardi. I've lived in this style for the past few years and am ready for something new. I consider this to be my "old" look, as in same-old, same-old.&nbsp;However, since I've never even worn it, I thought I would give it a chance. It's not visible in the photo, but there are some sequins in the top portion, which makes it look a little more interesting.</p> <p>The second photo is my planned outfit for tomorrow, my first day at work!</p> <p>Both outfits include my new Franco Sarto pointy toe ankle boots. I wore them this morning and I think they're going to need some breaking in. I didn't notice it when I bought them, but the top part puts an uncomfortable pressure on my shins. They're leather so they will soften, right? </p>
