I don't look good with pants tucked in so did the roll with skinny jeans to show them off and ended up loving the look.</p> <p>Suz and firecracker - you both give great solutions. I am going to the thrift store to try and find a small crossbody bag/ clutch I could wear to work for my dresses without pockets that don't look good with a belt or topper.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you everyone for the feedback - all the outfits have some elements of what I am learning from YLF.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-to-work---channeling-a-benetton-ad#post-1369024 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 06:31:51 +0000 Jeanie 1369024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in red and I love Friday's look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-to-work---channeling-a-benetton-ad#post-1368977 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 03:18:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1368977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, these are all great! I wonder if what's off in #2 is lack of color? Maybe switch the top to a colored one, or any of the pieces, really?<br />I have an idea for making the dress work-friendly: instead of a topper, could you wear a little cross-body bag? Just a tiny clutch style, with a strap? (Maybe <a href="http://www.onlineshoes.com/womens-hobo-poppy-harvest-vintage-leather-p_id313608?adtrack=gpa&amp;term=Women%27s+Hobo+Poppy&amp;offer=&amp;device=c&amp;network=g&amp;matchtype=" rel="nofollow">something like this</a>.) I just love the dress alone on you and finding the right topper could be difficult. <br />Your asymmetric outfit is superb, and so is your "Friday uniform." Nicely done all around! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-to-work---channeling-a-benetton-ad#post-1368943 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 02:40:45 +0000 Anonymous 1368943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful in color as in 1, 4, and your scarf in 5. 3 is fab on you. I hope that some of the ideas for wearing your dress for work will work out. It is beautiful and needs to be in regular rotation. Great week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-to-work---channeling-a-benetton-ad#post-1368940 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 02:36:01 +0000 jackiec 1368940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No wonder that could become your Friday uniform - it is perfect on you! I must say I love seeing you in those bright colours! They are so happy :). Too bad about losing your chirps - that turquoise dress is stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-to-work---channeling-a-benetton-ad#post-1368937 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 02:31:30 +0000 Suz 1368937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Frannieb, I love your smile. And I love you in those vivid tones of #1. No wonder you had a high happiness factor.&nbsp;</p> <p>I can't make out the details of 2 (darn dark colours are so hard to photograph!) but I wonder if something was a bit uncomfortable. Usually when I can't pinpoint a reason for my dislike of an outfit, it comes down to that.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look terrific in the asymmetrical neckline of #3 and I knew right away this one must be a favourite.&nbsp;</p> <p>That sounds really frustrating about the dress in 4 and work - the colour's gorgeous and I know you also really like wearing dresses at work. I wonder if there is another potential solution that would allow you to to without a topper sometimes if you wanted to? Like a small crossbody clutch with your walking and chirp in it?&nbsp;</p> <p>I may just have to copy #5 -- I have the boots for it! ;)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-to-work---channeling-a-benetton-ad#post-1368876 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 01:27:06 +0000 Aida 1368876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colors in #1 are fun and fab on you, they make me feel happy too! The brown is a bit unexpected and adds a nice softness to the brights. I can't quite make out the details in #2, but my hunch is that you'd be happier with a lighter top to wear under the blazer so you've got a more singular column of color. Adore #3 on you, I can definitely see why it's a fave. The hair scarf is fun, too ^^ I think the dress in #4 could work with a cropped topper, or perhaps even a little vest. #5 is a great little casual look. You could also try letting the scarf a bit looser to add a little "oh this? I just threw this on" ease. Nice week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-to-work---channeling-a-benetton-ad#post-1368847 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 01:00:01 +0000 frannieb 1368847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Monday - I channeled a Benetton ad - red, pink and Brown tights with leopard Dansko's - it was a fun outfit to wear - Happiness factor high</p> <p>Tuesday - Execution of the outfit didn't match what I envisioned - The pants are maroon, tan and navy - with a Navy sweater and Black jacket. Happiness factor Meh - something is off with the outfit</p> <p>Wednesday - One of my favorite outfits &nbsp;black leggings, asymmetrical black&nbsp;tunic top with a gray topper - Happiness factor high</p> <p>Thursday - Dress - kinda a disaster for work - For work I have to wear a walkie and a chirp (touch to talk)&nbsp;and had no place for either - so I kept misplacing both all day and dropped my chirp a least a dozen time. &nbsp;And now you know why I almost always have a topper on. Will have to see how this dress works with a topper because I do enjoy wearing it to work.</p> <p>Friday &nbsp;- &nbsp;Black leggings, My NAS aquatalia sweetie boots, topper and warm scarf for a cold rainy day - Happiness factor extremely high - This is basically a repeat look and I love it. It could easily just become my Friday uniform.</p> <p>All feedback welcomed. &nbsp;Not my most cohesive work week, but trying to have some fun with color.</p>
