So proud of you! It takes guts to shift directions and pursue your happiness! Sounds like the first closet consultation was a success! I really admire your dedication and wish you more success and happiness than you even imagined!</p> <p>Now, wear those work pieces in with your more casual pieces! It would be a shame to let the Blazer of Glory sit idle! I wear a lot of my work pieces to MOTG and sometimes even vice versa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686795 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 04:34:26 +0000 Beth Ann 686795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, look fab! I wanted to tell you that I follow the "Accidental Creative" and "The Art of Non-Comfority" websites and podcasts. You may already know these writers, but their ideas for authentic entrepreneurial living have been helpful to me (I say, as I spending a bazillion hours creating my own WordPress site). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686702 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 02:24:53 +0000 Jaime 686702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on following your dream Rae!

That is so great, and I am so happy for you. I think you are so smart and brave for realizing where your talents and passions are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686531 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 23:53:31 +0000 rae 686531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone. Not just for the kind words but for being an inspiration. There are so many women on YLF who work at jobs that they enjoy - from Suz and her writing (Hi, Suz!) to Diana's labwork to Janet's art... it really made me believe that it *can* be done. </p> <p>For those who missed the post about The End, I have decided to leave the wealth management field after 4 years. My current position really allowed me to see where the growth opportunities are and, while I know I can do any job *well* if I put my mind to it, I know in my heart that I can only reach full potential in a more creative industry. This Saturday, I did my first closet consultation to help my friend shop her closet, and it was a blast! Hoping to do more consultation, personal shopping, Ebay selling, etc. A friend also knows a stylist working in the area, so I hope to at least pick her brain if not learn a thing or two. Feels good to be jazzed about the future! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686526 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 23:49:24 +0000 Jem 686526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! You look both dressed up and dressed down! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686514 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 23:35:03 +0000 Suz 686514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I missed the posts where you made your decision, but I am so thrilled for you and can't wait to see what's up next. This is such an exciting transition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686472 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 22:30:43 +0000 Mo 686472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, pull out all your fave 'work' looks now and relish them before moving on to a more casual style. I think you're going to do great. Can't wait to see how it all pans out for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686427 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 21:05:46 +0000 Anonymous 686427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blaze(r) of glory... hahahahahahahahahaha.. Too funny!<br /> I love both outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686330 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 19:43:27 +0000 Jamie 686330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on the next phase of your journey! Your outfit today is terrific, and I'm looking forward to the rest of your "last week" outfits if you decide to post some more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686314 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 19:14:52 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 686314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't respond on the previous thread so wanted to say congratulations for having the guts to chase down your dream. </p> <p>I love the outfits and wish you all the best in your new adventure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686311 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 19:12:37 +0000 rae 686311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Kathy!</p> <p>Una, I very much agree! It feels sexy in the way that lounging around in one of DH's tees does. Much moreso than the tight jeans, actually. Why is that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686310 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 19:12:07 +0000 CocoLion 686310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still mix between bf and fitted jeans, just so I don't get sick of one look too too quickly.</p> <p>You look so great in that style of bootcut pant (both your work and movie night outfits), it would be a shame to let go of them. It is simply a more classic look, dated.</p> <p>I missed all of your posts about leaving your job. So I am clueless. But congratulations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686302 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 18:59:24 +0000 catgirl 686302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at you! I missed a lot of the posting when you made the decision to leave the corporate world, but your wardrobe is more than ready to take off in a new direction!</p> <p>I don't know if you're the same, but I FEEL sexy in my BF jeans in a way that I don't in fitted jeans. It's something I've been puzzling over, since I think it's key to my style somehow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686298 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 18:55:56 +0000 KathyL 686298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in your corporate and casual wear! Best of luck this last week. Can't wait to see your favorites this week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686221 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 17:13:06 +0000 Amy 686221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, Rae! haha @ MaryK's "blaze(r) of glory"</p> <p>Best wishes with this new leg of your journey! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686183 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 16:25:37 +0000 rae 686183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea! And I don't think there are anymore meetings that will get in the way of a favorites week. </p> <p>I have a feeling I will see a lot more of my boyfriends once I'm out of the office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686181 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 16:19:33 +0000 MsMary 686181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the work outfit! And yes! Wear your faves this week and go out in a blaze(r) of corporate glory!</p> <p>Too funny about missing the boyfriends! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686173 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 16:06:55 +0000 Angie 686173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should wear your favourite work outfits this week, Rae! </p> <p>This outfit has a '70s feel to it. Nice!</p> <p>We do have to throw our hubbies a bone from time to time </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686172 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 16:06:38 +0000 rae 686172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty darn good, I must admit! Though it will feel better *next* Monday, which will be my 3-day countdown! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686155 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:56:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 686155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well hello Ms. Corporate! Looking good - and how does it feel to be starting your last week? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-corporate#post-686100 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:00:01 +0000 rae 686100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As it says on my Facebook page, today is the first day of the last week of my life as a bank employee! Woot!</p> <p>There is a meeting to set up for today, so I went slightly more formal than usual in a *fully* tucked shirt (blast from the past!) and a jacket and slacks at the same time. </p> <p>H&amp;M blazer - flea market<br /> Sleeveless plaid shirt - flea market<br /> BR Sloan pants - Banana Republic<br /> Dr. Martens Marcie boots - Shoebuy<br /> Ted Baker handbag - flea market<br /> Tiger pendant - Florence, Italy</p> <p>Bonus casual shot from last night's movie date. DH asked, "When do you think you'll wear your sexy jeans again?" Oof, ok, so I wore one of his favorite pairs last night. And you know what? I missed my boyfriend jeans... they feel so much more current to me right now.</p> <p>Mechanic's shirt - flea market, home tailoring<br /> Hudson Hendrix jeans - Ebay<br /> Belt - flea market<br /> New cat ring - flea market<br /> Boutique 9 boots - Piperlime clearance </p>
