Now I need to find a full length mirror lol </p> <p>Thanks to your push I am putting on makeup in time to go get the kids from school so thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recent-biz-trip-thank-you-ylf#post-1506855 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 17:32:31 +0000 Maneera 1506855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree! </p> <p>Let's try and get at least 2 smart looks a week. That's a fair start, right? So 2 days a week, you'll post a picture of what you wore, and so will I. That ways we'll slowly go through all our wardrobe pieces ( I have a super huge wardrobe. Cringe!) and we will figure out what works and what doesn't work for our real life. Why torture ourselves with beautiful clothes on hangers when all we wear is sweats?! </p> <p>We'll find a way to tone down some of our previous loved outfits, and we will learn to make new dressy comfortable outfits. </p> <p>I'm planning to push myself and hope you'll join me too. Xoxo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recent-biz-trip-thank-you-ylf#post-1506852 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 17:24:31 +0000 abc 1506852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg Maneera. You are a kindred spirit for sure. It's so nice to hear someone else is in the same spot as me! I've been trying to spend more time caring for myself lately and part of that is taking the time to dress well and put on some makeup and fix the hair on a daily basis. It's hard when you work at home - as I am sure you understand! I'm going to check that link now. I agree 100% we should keep in touch and try to inspire each other to make the best of our lifestyle and wardrobes. Xoxo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recent-biz-trip-thank-you-ylf#post-1506846 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 17:13:45 +0000 Maneera 1506846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I literally 'feel' your pain, girl. It's like you're reading my mind!</p> <p>I love the classic, dressy look myself. It makes me feel feminine and attractive and I wish I could dress in structured dressers, blazers and heels everyday too. But I work from home too and have an otherwise casual lifestyle, so some days I live in a fantasy world and try out the 10s in the wardrobe at home and just feel happy. That's pretty much all the action those clothes get for months sometimes. So sad </p> <p>But I've decided to do something about that and made a few changes lately. It's all about how classic, dressier cuts make us 'feel' right? I recently read this blog and it really inspired me. I'll share the link with you - <a href="http://smallnotebook.org/2011/10/11/the-style-guide-comfortably-dressy/" rel="nofollow">http://smallnotebook.org/2011/.....ly-dressy/</a></p> <p>I hope it helps you find a balance in everyday life as well. I've started paying more attention to what I wear at home now, and I've started to make an effort to let my personal style shine through even for at-home wear. </p> <p>Let's stay in touch and find out a way to look dressy yet be comfortable at home! And don't give up --- anything is possible! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recent-biz-trip-thank-you-ylf#post-1506814 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 16:18:05 +0000 abc 1506814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Maneera. I think something that has been bothering me lately is that after I went on this business trip I came back to my real life. I don't wear as dressy things normally in my work from home / mom on the go lifestyle. I am trying to reconcile that piece of me. I want to rock blazers and heels but my daily life doesn't call for it nor would it work given my urban walking lifestyle. I also felt like the pieces and outfits I selected for the trip were 10s for me - the best of my closet. I am left yearning for 10s every day and miss the way I felt when rocking these outfits. Sorry for rambling. Thank you for your kind words and feedback </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recent-biz-trip-thank-you-ylf#post-1506803 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 16:03:20 +0000 Maneera 1506803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look more than pulled together!!! </p> <p>You look smart, polished yet approachable. I love the small detailing a you added with jewelry and those gorgeous leopard print shoes. They truly make all the difference. </p> <p>To me, what stands out the most is that you look extremely confident and happy in what you're wearing. And truly, that's the best finishing touch for any look. If you feel good, you look good. I have always believed that!</p> <p>You're rocking the white skinny pants and the blazer. I love all the outfits. Great job done, considering you simply shopped your closet! This is giving me a few ideas to pair some of my own closet orphans in a new way. Thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recent-biz-trip-thank-you-ylf#post-1497250 Wed, 27 May 2015 15:54:33 +0000 abc 1497250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to reply, but here goes.</p> <p>Marianna, thanks!

Our field is tricky while dressing right? The men always turn up in jeans and it's a fine balance for us to fit in and not be sloppy. I will keep this as inspiration for dressing up when I return to work </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recent-biz-trip-thank-you-ylf#post-1495740 Sun, 24 May 2015 17:51:19 +0000 harmonica 1495740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recent-biz-trip-thank-you-ylf#post-1495732 Sun, 24 May 2015 17:27:27 +0000 kkards 1495732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't it nice to know that you have what you need!
