The pins and the red made me happy. </p> <p>Angie and Zibbets thank you for your comments about my mixed patterns and suggestions for a sheer trouser sock. I could have done that (and will in the future) but I was worried about having cold feet. I do think that a sheer sock would look much better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-17#post-1884634 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 17:11:04 +0000 Zibbets 1884634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this is beautiful! I think the shade of red is gorgeous with your hair and I super love the polka dots and pattern mixing! I second Angie's suggestion of a sheerer sock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-17#post-1884631 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 16:49:20 +0000 MsMary 1884631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super love. I'm wearing a jacket that color today, too, and it just makes me happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-17#post-1884628 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 16:22:25 +0000 Aurore 1884628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! Red suits you very well and&nbsp;the outfits conveys both authority (bold color and&nbsp;cut of the jacket, classic trousers) and playfulness (these lovely&nbsp;insect pins!). It seems perfect for your event! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-17#post-1884621 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 16:06:59 +0000 Katerina 1884621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely outfit, <b>Mainelady</b>, so joyful! Love the colours and the patterns. The jacket is awesome and I&nbsp;like it very much when it is open - fun with the polka dot&nbsp;top more visible! I like the bag with the outfit - playful and cute!&nbsp;And Yay to the insect pins! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-17#post-1884613 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 15:53:05 +0000 Angie 1884613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the pattern mixing. Palette is rich and lovely too. Red looks fab, and jacket is best unbuttoned. Happy outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>How about sheer black trouser socks for a more delicate look? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-17#post-1884567 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 12:42:25 +0000 Jaime 1884567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is just great! I especially like it with the jacket open but it looks good in all the versions. Great pins too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-17#post-1884551 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 11:05:43 +0000 Mainelady 1884551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sisi, thank you so much for your kind comment (and for taking the time to post)! It makes me happy to think I can still wear this brighter red. Red is such a cheerful color, especially when the world is a snow globe outside my window. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-17#post-1884545 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 10:46:40 +0000 Sisi 1884545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I&nbsp;have not commented your previous posts (even if I liked your outfits) due to lack of time but as Jussie says this is my favourite! I like all the pieces of this outfit and I think&nbsp;that &nbsp;you look very well in red. This outfit sparks joy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-17#post-1884541 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 10:34:41 +0000 Mainelady 1884541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, ladies! When I pulled all the pieces, I thought they would work together, but then when I put them on, I wondered. I thought the polka dots would be fun for the classroom and definitely wanted the jacket for the meeting. I wore it open during the Author Celebration, which didn’t matter one iota. All adoring eyes were on the little authors, as they should have been.<br /> Joy, I never thought of dots as a neutral, but I should. I am going to have fun introducing them to patterns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-17#post-1884474 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 02:59:28 +0000 Anonymous 1884474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also thinking that this outfit looks powerful but approachable. I like the jacket best worn open as in #3. Your grandmother's insect pins are a great touch, and all pattern mixing gets my approval, but I consider polkadots a neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-17#post-1884465 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 01:41:10 +0000 Helena 1884465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic, polished but also warm and approachable; perfect for your day's agenda. The jacket looks more formal buttoned, but not unflatteringly so, just where it changes the vibe of the outfit a little. It looks great both ways though. And the pattern mix is top notch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-17#post-1884458 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:44:32 +0000 JAileen 1884458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the patterns mix very well. How can you go wrong with polka dots and a floral? I love the pins, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-17#post-1884456 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:33:51 +0000 jussie 1884456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it- Actually it’s my favorite outfit of yours! I say keep wearing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-17#post-1884454 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:28:48 +0000 Mainelady 1884454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Functionality and audience awareness were key to today’s decisions. Today’s events included active teaching and welcoming families for an Author Celebration. As a member or our Leadership Team I was also scheduled for an informal meeting with School Board members to discuss some school wide goals and give an update on a project. (The Meeting was postponed due to a winter storm.)<br /> Happiness factors were the color red (which I think might be the the wrong shade with my new hair), polka dots and two of my grandmother’s insect pins (giving a nod to Katerina).<br /> Thoughts on the shade of red? Is the double breasted jacket too boxy when buttoned? What about the polka dots and the floral bag (which was tucked under my desk most of the day. I chose it for the meeting so it didn’t get much use.)? If the patterns did not mix well, at least very few people saw them together.<br /> Thank you for any thoughts you would like to share. </p>
