Wow! </p> <p>I love it! Black as a neutral not always a statement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-470041 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 19:09:18 +0000 modgrl 470041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Heather! You and MaryK were my color inspirations to get me out of my all black rut when I first got here. I'm still wearing black every day but it is a component of my style, not the thing that defines my style any more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-470040 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 19:08:41 +0000 CocoLion 470040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in this formula. Nothing wrong with having a formula; otherwise, it would take us too long to get dressed each morning. It would be a new art project each day, which bloggers might have the time for but not all of us.</p> <p>Love the picture with your adorable kids. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-470036 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 19:06:45 +0000 Heather 470036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, I am so proud of you! You have FULLY embraced color and you look INCREDIBLE!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-470032 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 19:01:31 +0000 Makrame 470032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these outfits, and your kids are so adorable! That Loft jacket is perfect on you, and I really like it with the ruffled top, jeans and boots. </p> <p>The H and M vest looks great on you with this blouse and skinnies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469921 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:31:57 +0000 modgrl 469921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course!! I would say it's fun but not my very *best* look. I am so short that the OTK boots hit me pretty high. But I'm enjoying wearing them anyway! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469907 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:22:34 +0000 Angie 469907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Make sure you show us the jeans outfits with the OTK boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469906 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:11:58 +0000 citygirldc 469906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469899 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:03:28 +0000 Nakidra 469899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great and your kids are super cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469897 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:00:51 +0000 morethanbeige 469897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in love with #3. The perfect jacket indeed! You look so hip. And again, I am now officially craving colored denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469891 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:53:02 +0000 modgrl 469891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the kind words. Glad you ladies approve of yet another gray jacket!! I knew I could count on you to be enablers!! </p> <p>I'm wearing my OTK boots to work today with dark wash skinnies, breaking my work in slowly in preparation for purple skinnies and OTK boots next week </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469865 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:21:20 +0000 Jonesy 469865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great! I love the bold blouse in 1 with the black--they balance each other out. I think the gray jacket was meant to be--it looks perfect on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469860 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:18:31 +0000 nancylee 469860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all these looks, and that jacket in #3 IS perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469844 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:08:42 +0000 Suz 469844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, you look wonderful. I LOVE look #3. (And your kids are so cute!!) I would adore a jacket just like that. We don't have the Loft here, sad to say... </p> <p>#1 is reminding me how much I want a vest! The blouse is terrific on you. </p> <p>And I like #2 just as much as when it was first posted. </p> <p>So nice to see you in some casual looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469786 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 12:46:19 +0000 wannabe 469786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you on ruffles. Maybe because I never wore frilly things growing up, but the last few years I haven't shied away from them. #3 is probably my favorite. The jar of Nutella in the backgrounds of #1 and #2 is the best accessory ever </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469745 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 10:58:29 +0000 Deborah 469745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, this is one of my favorite sets of outfits. Love the colors and this looks totally fresh to me, #3 is fab!! You look amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469732 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 09:37:08 +0000 Ana 469732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your purple skinnies and outfit #3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469684 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 05:58:36 +0000 Angie 469684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469655 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 04:53:01 +0000 HelenInCanada 469655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most heartwarming photo of the day (#3)! Absolutely beautiful kids - and you look glowing with them! </p> <p>OMG, I am convinced that coloured denim is now IT for spicing up modern classic pieces - your purple pair is to die for! Just gorgeous.</p> <p>Outfit #3 is a winner all around - chic, polished, fun. I love ruffles too! I've got a ruffled white cotton skirt that I will never tire of, and a black/white ruffled tank for under blazers. Maybe it's something in the blood...? They've got that feminine flair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469645 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 04:38:02 +0000 Sara L. 469645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Depending on the boot, I think OTK could look really good. I don't have a pair myself so I don't have any personal experience, but the idea is intriguing. If you do give the otk boots a try, please post a pic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469639 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 04:35:02 +0000 Queen Mum 469639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is nothing "old" or "boring" about your outfits Rita. There is nothing wrong with finding a silhouette that works and sporting variations. I mean how many variations can we come up with when we have to wear some form of pant/skirt and top every day anyway. Don't feel bad at all about skinnies and boots. It's a current, modern look. Nothing wrong with it at all.</p> <p>Furthermore, none of your outfits look like carbon copies in different colors. They are all unique and fab! Carry on my boot wearing friend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469634 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 04:29:03 +0000 modgrl 469634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you think I could do 2 with otk boots or would that be off the wall? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469633 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 04:27:32 +0000 Sara L. 469633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 the best. I love the vest and printed blouse. The purple jeans in #2 are great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469630 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 04:24:20 +0000 sarah 469630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey jacket triplet (with Makrame), these all look GREAT. I think you've added a freshness to each that sets them apart from the crowd. Sweet kids. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469547 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 03:07:44 +0000 Angie 469547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your kids are so cute! </p> <p>And I love your looks - current, hip, interesting and fun. #3 is my best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469544 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 03:04:46 +0000 kellygirl 469544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can never have too many jackets : ) All great, fresh looking and stylish ensembles. You have a great sense of style. My fave is 3 because of the killer jacket and awesome boots and adorable kiddos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469530 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 02:56:47 +0000 Aida 469530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see nothing "old" here Rita, these formulas work just fine to me Love the vest over the printed shirt in #1. GREAT purple jeans, I can definitely see those looking fab with gray. And I adore #3, that jacket is perfect for you! I bet it looks great with the taupe boots in a lighter outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469527 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 02:55:03 +0000 san 469527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're right, that is a perfect jacket! Your kiddos are just adorable. I love the blouse in pic 1. You're so good with color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-otg-and-casual-work-days#post-469517 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 02:49:10 +0000 modgrl 469517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK's post is making me feel like my "uniform" might be getting old just as I'm finally starting to get the whole skinnies and boots thing. I realized that my WIW's look almost the same this week. I haven't posted other outfits that were repeats. I love to repeat a successful formula but I don't want to bore you all.</p> <p>1) chewyspaghetti and I wore just about the same outfit yesterday with black skinnies and H&amp;M vest. It's hard to see but I am also wearing Angie's NAS recommended pendant that mirrors the shapes in the blouse. </p> <p>2) I'm reposting this picture of my purple skinnies day because I think it's easier to see the detail of the black ruffled sweater. Next week I'm trying this with the recommended gray stripes and gray booties. </p> <p>3) OTG, I couldn't get a shot all by myself but this pretty accurately portrays my days with the kiddos. I wanted to dress up my MOTG uniform a bit for an event at the school. I was stalking this Loft jacket for a while -- how many gray jackets does one need?! -- I decided that it was perfect and I couldn't pass it by. I know some of you are over ruffles but I am not. I love them for their miraculous baby belly camouflaging powers. I was pretty happy with how this one turned out and the 3 year olds at the school seemed excited to see me. I hope you approve! </p>
