I was going to spend some time with my mom last Sunday and instead had to work all day and did not see her. I am going to make sure it happens this weekend!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-get-my-life-back/page/2#post-1093722 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 22:38:58 +0000 Parsley 1093722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I'm so sorry to hear that work has been so overwhelming lately. It hasn't stopped you for having your usual fabulous style, though.<br />It really is essential to take a little time for yourself, whether it's taking outfit pictures or having a nice warm bubble bath.&nbsp;<br />I hope things quiet down for you soon so you can regain some balance in your life.<br />Hugs,<br />Marcy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-get-my-life-back/page/2#post-1093712 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 22:25:55 +0000 Jeanie 1093712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too much work and not enough play...hope it gets better. &nbsp;Love the red skirt with those leopard boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-get-my-life-back/page/2#post-1093701 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 22:11:49 +0000 Sveta 1093701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for you kind comments and therapy. It was a very gruelling year for me: hopefully it will get back to normal in the next year. <br />Catnip, pic 1 was taken on Monday night after another 10h day so it is surprising I am still holding together there at all: I felt really bad that night and I think I looked it too :-(<br />Liz, I don't care for black fotwear&nbsp;with those taupe trousers in #1: at least not those only black booties I have now. If I ever find a more refined pair it may be a different thing.<br />Lisa, I am sad to hear about your summer - I hope it is beter now.<br />I am so glad I have you, guys! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-get-my-life-back/page/2#post-1093273 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:23:02 +0000 Anonymous 1093273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these outfits look amazing but the coat is my favourite....so chic!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-get-my-life-back/page/2#post-1093251 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:16:01 +0000 Amy 1093251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you're being proactive about reclaiming a bit of yourself during this difficult time at work. That's so important (and so hard to do sometimes). You look great in all of these, but as a polka dot fan, I must say #1 is my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-get-my-life-back/page/2#post-1093236 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:07:24 +0000 Marmee 1093236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific! &nbsp;The dots are my favorite, especially with the pop of red in the handbag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-get-my-life-back/page/2#post-1093223 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 15:54:39 +0000 Thistle 1093223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific, and I am especially partial to #1 sweater twin!</p> <p>I hope work gets better soon.

Sometimes a little break from the routine is definitely a needed step to recharge. I hope work lightens up a little more so that you have the energy to show us the great outfits you create. Such a treat and so inspirational, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-get-my-life-back/page/2#post-1093126 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:50:12 +0000 JAileen 1093126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look great, but #1 and #2 are especially appealing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-get-my-life-back/page/2#post-1093099 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:39:59 +0000 Catnip 1093099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Paying extra attention to how you look is a big mood booster.&nbsp; Have you noticed how you progressed from not smiling at all in picture #1 to a beautiful smile in picture #5?</p> <p>I love all your outfits, and especially like your beautiful black coat.&nbsp; Hopefully the situation at work will improve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-get-my-life-back/page/2#post-1093098 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:39:34 +0000 texstyle 1093098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your style overshadows the stress and all these outfits look great Sveta. But I will say that you MUST take it easy. Even with vacation time, long and stressful&nbsp;work hours on a regular basis take their toll.&nbsp;Please put your health and well being as the #1 priority. We miss you when you're not posting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-get-my-life-back/page/2#post-1093088 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:31:57 +0000 Lisa 1093088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was in your position over the summer. I lost half the summer because I worked 6 or 7 days a week for half of it.&nbsp; It was a real challenge to get ANYTHING done outside of work.&nbsp; Hopefully you won't have this pace for too long.&nbsp; I think one of the best ways to cheer up when working lots of&nbsp;hours is to sport really bright and fun outfits.&nbsp; At least when you look at yourself in the bathroom mirror you can smile about your outfit.&nbsp; It's nice to see the polka dot top come out to play in #1.&nbsp; As you are in #2, I am also reaching for bootcuts regularly right now until we get wet weather.&nbsp; And #3 is heading into bright and fun color and pattern mixing, the perfect antidote for busy working schedules.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-get-my-life-back/page/2#post-1093087 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:31:37 +0000 Liz A. 1093087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So photogenic!&nbsp; I'm with whoever said that lipstick is putting in work for you!&nbsp; My fave is #1 although I think I'd prefer black footwear with that outfit and swap the brown booties in outfit #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-get-my-life-back/page/2#post-1093076 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:15:53 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1093076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, you look beautiful, as always.&nbsp; A real glamazon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-get-my-life-back/page/2#post-1093051 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 13:31:22 +0000 Anonymous 1093051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stressed or not, you look great!

Sveta, don't let me/you down!:-) I have a rough day today, and came here now for a few minutes&nbsp;to lift my mood a bit, and your dots, red skirt, and new coat already&nbsp;did it!

There is definitely power in dressing for yourself -- you do it so beautifully. (#1 is particularly memorable) I just encourage you to remember to put yourself at the very top of your to-do list. If that means taking an extra 5-10 minutes to plan something fabulous to wear (as in #3 &amp;4 -- that red skirt just fires up the whole look, pun intended) then so be it. With out you, and the essence that makes you excited to get out of bed in the morning there is no "your life". Be well. (Be Killer as always ;-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-get-my-life-back#post-1092967 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 11:14:10 +0000 Lantana 1092967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Commiserations over your workload.
