I like personal touches in workwear -- it "humanizes" the environment somehow. Higher dress boots would work for work, too, if they're not too warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeat-offender#post-598193 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 23:50:30 +0000 rae 598193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire and Aida, I'd never really seen anything this cropped before until just recently. Then they were suddenly everywhere, so I ended up with 4 (two for work, two casual)! I hope you can find some - I love how they are short enough to show the waist curve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeat-offender#post-598168 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 23:16:38 +0000 Aida 598168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hee, those pins are more cute than anything, love 'em! ^^ FAB cropped jacket, I am in serious need of some that are super cropped like that. Looks awesome over the midi length! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeat-offender#post-598149 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 22:55:37 +0000 Anonymous 598149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fantastic silhouette on you Rae! I might like the cluster of pins on a plainer lapel, though. BTW I totally lied when I said my cropped jackets hit me in the same spot yours do. I've been wearing them recently, and they're not even *close*. Yours are super awesome/super short, mine are just the garden variety. Oh well, we can't all be super stars I guess! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeat-offender#post-598114 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:33:34 +0000 JennyAnne 598114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your pin collection cracks me up, in a good way! Yay for you for accessorizing with them. I think the pumps are the perfect finishign touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeat-offender#post-598107 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:26:20 +0000 Jonesy 598107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab! The proportions are perfect, and I love the grouping of the kitty pins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeat-offender#post-598105 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:24:25 +0000 Meredith1953 598105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The kitty pins are so cute on the jacket! I like the look teamed with the pumps but I would dig it with booties too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeat-offender#post-598060 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 20:39:17 +0000 rae 598060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I'm digging hard on this short over long thing. So much so that I really want another slim, long-ish dress, so I can use the combo as a FFBO formula. Copy away! I know you have the pieces to do it. You, too, Celia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeat-offender#post-597915 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:26:47 +0000 MsMary 597915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Purr-fect!

The kitty pins are too cute for words! You have my permission to repeat this combo as many times as you want!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeat-offender#post-597873 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:40:32 +0000 harmonica 597873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super outfit! I love the pins and the cats The boots in #3 are gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeat-offender#post-597849 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:12:28 +0000 catgirl 597849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I love the dress with the cropped jacket. I would expect the crop to be too short for the long dress, but it's perfect! Grey is better than black in a lot of ways - more visual contrast and less harsh for work. SO perfect! In fact, I may copy... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeat-offender#post-597845 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:09:27 +0000 celia 597845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous!You are giving me more ideas for my b44.I like the pins and think the pumps brought the outfit for the business part of business casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeat-offender#post-597827 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:50:52 +0000 rae 597827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, reporting back to say I've gotten three compliments so far! The jacket is the AllSaints "mini mac" - it has a zip-off bottom portion and belt as well. I don't think they have it on their site at the moment, but they have brought it back in several incarnations (I've seen black and brown leather, black and beige trench material, this one is gray jersey, and I believe I've also seen white). They crop up on Ebay every so often since there were so many colors.</p> <p>And Joy, the cat pins were indeed conversation starters - I was able to hear a lovely story about the cat-love of a coworker's life (last week was the anniversary of the kitty's death, so it was like a nice memorial speech for him - really cool). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeat-offender#post-597819 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:30:48 +0000 Vicki 597819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My cats are giving you two paws up (each) and so am I. You can "repeat" this any time and keep it interesting at work. I love the pins with the bright-dark, Rae. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeat-offender#post-597802 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:19:22 +0000 Anonymous 597802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute!!! I don't think kitty pins read "punk," more adorable! You look fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeat-offender#post-597799 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:15:18 +0000 Anonymous 597799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pins add an extra level of interest and are sure conversation starters.

I started out with just one, but they wanted to be together! I really like the pseudo-military-medal effect, but it made the outfit feel too casual. On went the dreaded pumps (I guess they ARE good for something) and a more ladylike handbag. Was it enough to keep the pins from being to punk rock?</p> <p>Bright: gray AS jacket - $40 via Ebay<br /> Dark: Cha Cha Vente dress - ~$60(?) via Macy's, with GCs<br /> Structure: jacket, slim dress<br /> Legs: cropped jacket length<br /> Tough: AS jacket, pins </p>
