You definitely have spunky officewear down pat. Hope you don't have to change that in your new role!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-368598 Fri, 17 Jun 2011 18:50:00 +0000 Lisa 368598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all these outfits and I don't mind outfit #6, it has a lot going on yes, but it's not over the top or poorly executed. Nice set of outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-368222 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 23:31:17 +0000 Jonesy 368222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope your new department values what you have to offer! This is a great collection of outfits. My personal faves are 2, 3, and 5, but they are all great, including the camo/striped outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-368192 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 21:52:59 +0000 Aida 368192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the whole lot, and #6 is actually my favorite :} I don't have a camo jacket, but I do have an olive one and I totally want to try this look out myself! I think all of your "authoritative" looks show a lot of spunk (in a most excellent way): gold shoes in #1, bright pink belt in #2, sassy burgundy boots in #3. I LOVE those types of distinctive details! I hope the new department treats you well, the old department doesn't know what they're missing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-368110 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 19:48:50 +0000 RoseandJoan 368110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I abosutly love your style Rae, I'm excited your new job could prompt another mini style evolution for you so I can continue to glean ideas from your posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-368108 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 19:44:52 +0000 Scarlet 368108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For some reason I especially liked this series of outfits from you. Especially #2 is so sassy and pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367910 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 14:07:46 +0000 rae 367910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your validation and encouragement. It really helps to at least know that I look appropriate and somewhat current during the transition. </p> <p>Hm, I was sure #6 created the optical illusion of massive biceps! I still don't think I'll wear that outfit again, but it is nice to know I didn't look completely foolish. </p> <p>MaryK, I like the camo/stripe combo as well! I was so excited to mix those patterns... maybe I will try again in a way that I feel more comfortable, as I root for Team A Lot Going On regularly. </p> <p>Una, this is my first pair of non-black pumps! I am usually so disinterested in pumps, too. These shiny ones have been excellent gateway pumps. </p> <p>Celia, you are SO right that it is bittersweet. I will really miss my coworkers, but I think it's a good move. Sincere thanks for the hugs. </p> <p>Khris, that is definitely the hope! Either that, or getting an offer elsewhere. Yes, fingers crossed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367875 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 13:20:15 +0000 chewyspaghetti 367875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes a lateral move leads to a vertical one (fingers crossed). Good luck in the new department! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367856 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 12:55:57 +0000 teri 367856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I could pick a favorite... great week </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367852 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 12:51:32 +0000 Freckles 367852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Professional with and edge wow!</p> <p>Good luck in the new job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367844 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 12:21:32 +0000 celia 367844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Rae, that must have been bitter sweet for you, hope the next department knows that you are worth keeping.hugs.</p> <p>As for fashion, I love all your week (even the guy aproved outfit) and my favourites are 3,4 and 5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367838 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 12:04:38 +0000 Anonymous 367838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooohhh, I love the pink and turquoise in #2, and is that Mr. Hank? So cute! You really know how to accessorize--love love the scarf in #3. Fantastic work style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367832 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 11:06:32 +0000 Kristine 367832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, you look great, I love all of these. Polished and professional but still spunky. I even like the last one, although not for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367796 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 07:57:49 +0000 Aunty 367796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are one very stylish lady!!<br /> I like 6, whats the problem?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367750 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 05:22:49 +0000 catgirl 367750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would shamelessly wear #6. And proudly wear all the rest - I am loving your metallic pumps and thinking maybe I could get over my pump-phobia by getting a pair like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367731 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 03:48:07 +0000 Girl X 367731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great week! I love the crisp elegance in #1 with the pop of bright blue, and I wouldn't frown at the boy just yet - #6 is really cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367726 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 03:34:38 +0000 Nadya 367726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look great. I agree with MaryK: outfit six is fun and adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367707 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 02:59:18 +0000 san 367707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just beautiful. Your work outfits are fun and authoritative looking.</p> <p>I think you look good in the camo jacket. That's a fun weekend look for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367698 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 02:51:42 +0000 morethanbeige 367698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so adorable. #6 is my fav. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367695 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 02:49:36 +0000 Suz 367695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You just amaze me! You look fantastic in every one, even #6.

K-word worthy for sure </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367670 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 02:33:55 +0000 Misia 367670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 5 are my personal faves </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367655 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 02:22:25 +0000 taylor 367655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually #6 is quite adorable!</p> <p>best of luck in the new department!! FAB week:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367635 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 02:09:42 +0000 MsMary 367635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry, but I happen to think stripes and camo are sort of awesome! But I am the captain of Team A Lot Going On, so take that with a gigantic grain of salt! LOL</p> <p>The work looks are fab, especially the second one, which makes you look like the epitome of the Tall Drink Of Water!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367628 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 02:05:15 +0000 cjh 367628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The gray dress with the bright scarf is great! My favorite. And I do like the stripe shirt with the camo jacket - cute, comfy, and just a little edge - or maybe it's spunk! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367625 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 02:01:08 +0000 kellygirl 367625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab week, Rae! I love them all--even the last one. I can't pick a fave but I'm really digging the silhouettes of 2 and 3. You look long and lean and your legs look miles long. The floral blouse in 4 is sweet and I love the more relaxed vibe of 5. The camel and the tomato red is a great color combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367620 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 01:53:28 +0000 modgrl 367620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Girl I love your sassy work style. That pink belt in 2 is just the right finishing touch. And 3, wow just awesome!</p> <p>Now for casual look, I would have picked a solid shirt but I am a more conservative dresser. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-train-my-replacement#post-367612 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 01:45:05 +0000 rae 367612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I have NOT found a permanent job, but I *did* manage to get myself moved to another department with a better reputation for hiring their temps in a timely manner. Sigh, baby steps... this is why I've been scarce on the forum lately, btw.</p> <p>1-3 are what I wore this week while training the temp who will take my place when I go to the other department. She didn't actually show up on day one, but I had wanted to look somewhat authoritative but still approachable. The next two days my goal was the same, but with a little pinch of I-want-to-be-spunky-while-I-can-in-case-the-new-department-frowns-on-spunk thrown in. </p> <p>4-5 are leftovers from last week that never got posted - look, I finally got around to pairing red and blue!</p> <p>6 is physical evidence that I cannot trust the boy to tell me if my outfit looks good. I didn't want to post this one, but a perverse side of me thinks public shame will reinforce my sartorial edification. -_- </p>
