No. 2 flies as business casual here. Re: shoes for the shop, you could probs get by with your Dansko clogs. Not a fashion statement (although I wear mine all the time because of the fussy feet factor) but they are sturdy closed toe shoes that work hard. Those floral pants are genius on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-flowers-and-boxy-business#post-1481146 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 21:19:24 +0000 texstyle 1481146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of these quite a lot on you Amy!&nbsp; I think the #1 is fun and very spring like and I love that you rolled the pants a bit more. And #2 looks great for business casual in my memory of software "corporate" attire. Adding a piece of jewelry or watch would dress it up just a bit more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-flowers-and-boxy-business#post-1481048 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 18:25:19 +0000 Sara L. 1481048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of these!&nbsp; The pink top and floral pants are fun and springy.&nbsp; I like the boxy top in #2.&nbsp; I think it goes well with the slim pants.&nbsp; A blazer might be more traditionally business-y but I'm not sure what the standard dress is in your industry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-flowers-and-boxy-business#post-1481028 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 17:49:45 +0000 Angie 1481028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super duper outfits. Fab job with the crops. </p> <p>Your hair has settled quite beautifully into the colour and style, Amy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-flowers-and-boxy-business#post-1480966 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 16:12:50 +0000 merwoman 1480966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous Amy!!! Love those florals! The fit on both pants is great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-flowers-and-boxy-business#post-1480933 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 14:58:37 +0000 Olivegreen 1480933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The winner for me is number two, the contrast makes you pop a bit,but it is restrained in effect. Great balance of masculine/feminine in the combo, perfect for shop floor and office in your industry.<br /> Approprio and you might have a lot of colours, and some style genes in common. She has been running a great thread on colour systems.<br /> Maybe floaty top, crisper pants, and a mid length blazer or moto is a good formula for you? And the shoes can be a bit tougher.? The floaty and the nice hair may be enough to carry the femine message. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-flowers-and-boxy-business#post-1480857 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 12:48:12 +0000 Tanya 1480857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in that shade of pink, love the femininity of it worn with the flower pants.&nbsp; The second outfit is nice, not too dark.&nbsp; It is a bit on the casual side for business casual.&nbsp;&nbsp; I would wear either a collared shirt/blouse with the moto jacket or blazer with the type of top you are wearing.&nbsp; Also more dressier shoes, perhaps pumps with small heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-flowers-and-boxy-business#post-1480844 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 12:24:33 +0000 Daria 1480844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>amiable the floral outfit is super cute! Pink goes so well with your hair.<br />Regarding your business casual,not so sure since I always dress very conservatively when seeing clients, but then I'm in a totally different industry. Depends if you are there for meetings, or to troubleshoot existing system, etc.<br />I think your outfit is fine as is but I would wear heels and blazer. :)<br />Do you have a lighter topper to try it on with? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-flowers-and-boxy-business#post-1480837 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 11:50:15 +0000 Windchime 1480837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute floral ankle pants! You could pair those with several different colors of tops.</p> <p>I like your business casual top a lot and don't find the outfit reads too dark. As a matter of fact, I would probably wear black footwear to ground it a bit more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-flowers-and-boxy-business#post-1480806 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 09:59:02 +0000 Karie 1480806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the boxiness of the top in #2/#3. I love the fun pink outfit - how about adding a long necklace to that?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-flowers-and-boxy-business#post-1480785 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 06:52:40 +0000 rachylou 1480785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your work outfit is great in my book. You're a programmer, yes?</p> <p>I love the 'strawberry' outfit (#1). A little necklace, a pendant on a thin chain, would dress it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-flowers-and-boxy-business#post-1480772 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 04:42:23 +0000 donnat 1480772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in the pink outfit. I love those pants and pink is lovely on you,. but I think it is too casual. You look far more business like in #2. I like the boxiness of the top. These are 2 really good looks for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-flowers-and-boxy-business#post-1480758 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 03:47:58 +0000 Vildy 1480758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this book, Casual Power by Maysonave it might be, that goes into it to a faretheewell. One thing I remember from it is that people need to wear collars to maintain some authority. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-flowers-and-boxy-business#post-1480753 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 03:23:09 +0000 Jaime 1480753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the pink outfit on you. You look good in colors. I have no idea what works for business casual, but I think a more blazer like jacket with straighter lines would look more authoritative.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-flowers-and-boxy-business#post-1480745 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 03:08:05 +0000 amiable 1480745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday I attended a women's luncheon with my sister in law. &nbsp;I figured it was the perfect opportunity to break out my new-to-me floral cropped pants. &nbsp;They're ankle pants, but I liked the length better a bit shorter, so I rolled them. &nbsp;Paired them with pink for extra girliness, and I admit, I liked it. &nbsp;Ran out of time straightening my hair, so it's only mostly straightened, and no make up. &nbsp;Oh well. &nbsp;</p> <p>Today I tested out a "business casual" outfit (I'm visiting a customer on site to do some consulting on Friday, and want to look like I know what I'm doing, but won't be required to wear company attire if I don't want to). This was okay, but not wow-worthy in my book - the top is a little too boxy, and the overall look too dark, or something (I'm not completely sure). &nbsp;</p> <p>I'll be playing with the idea of finding a good few "business casual" outfits this week for this type of visit. &nbsp; (I know I'll need closed toe shoes, and I'm not sure whether cropped pants will be okay safety wise, but they'll probably be fine, since I won't be in the shop portion of the building while they're actually cutting steel, I don't think).</p> <p>Anyway, these are what I wore. &nbsp;Have any suggestions for improvement? </p>
