Thanks everyone for contributing. <br />Rachy, I guess I'd call my workplace, which is in the professional services area, business casual. As in the guys wear business shirts, and suits if it is cold, but not necessarily a tie. But no jeans Mon-Thurs!&nbsp; Angie's business casual posts have been appropriate. <br />&nbsp;I wondered about the socks. I had worn them with my running shoes for the commute and just left them on. If the intial YLF response had been negative I would have just taken them off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-with-2-questions#post-1238763 Thu, 01 May 2014 14:56:02 +0000 rachylou 1238763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The socks are a brilliant move... although I forget how formal and conservative your workplace is. I'd do socks and pumps if that weren't too weird for my office... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-with-2-questions#post-1238593 Thu, 01 May 2014 06:58:23 +0000 Kiwichik 1238593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well if that's your hair looking bad I can't wait to see it looking good. I think there is sufficient contrast between your shirt and that fab jacket to ensure a pop of colour isn't necessary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-with-2-questions#post-1237917 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 18:18:35 +0000 Beth Ann 1237917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that jacket!&nbsp; Your hair looks silky and shiny --- no worries, it's be at the length you're craving, soon!</p> <p>I don't see the need for a color pop, unless you want it for the happiness factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-with-2-questions#post-1237768 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:44:43 +0000 Marmee 1237768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, you have no tummy! &nbsp;I think the socks look fine--cozy! &nbsp;And your hair looks fine to me, but I know the feeling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-with-2-questions#post-1237764 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:43:00 +0000 viva 1237764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great! Have to get that out of the way first.</p> <p>Now, I know what you mean about the pop of color thing. I think a scarf or statement necklace might be 2008 or whatever, but a bright bag would have the same impact and look more modern. (I would wear this outfit exactly as you have but carry my citron bag. I love it with grey and black.) </p> <p>I hate the tummy thing with selfies. No need to worry, you look fine.</p> <p>I agree that your socks look like part of your bootie. I would wear just as you have them. In fact, I might do the same today (cloudy and damp out). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-with-2-questions#post-1237761 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:38:54 +0000 Anonymous 1237761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great!

I think the sox look intentional and edgy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-with-2-questions#post-1237476 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 09:44:19 +0000 Deborah 1237476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! I love the hint of the sock, it's edgy and cool. I think you look fab and no need for a pop of colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-with-2-questions#post-1237445 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 07:32:23 +0000 anne 1237445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks lyn and Gigi. I guess I am partly hair sensitive because I haven't had a hair cut since October, mostly wear it in a french roll which tends to break the strands, and am in the trying growing out phase. </p> <p>Bangles are a good suggestion. I have a teal blingy cuff that would have worked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-with-2-questions#post-1237444 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 07:31:43 +0000 Lantana 1237444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this Anne. I think the booties plus sox look edgy and I love seeing that white jacket coming out to play.</p> <p>Hey, you can always wave your phone around a bit for a pop of colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-with-2-questions#post-1237423 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 06:30:57 +0000 Gigi 1237423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the look of the socks with the booties. It looks edgy, like CocoLion said.</p> <p>As for the lack of color, about all I can think of is to add some colored bangles or something. You could add a scarf, but that might be more predictable.</p> <p>Your hair does not look bad! You should see mine...practically a matted-down mess most days. Argh!</p> <p>You look really nice in this outfit, Anne! I really like the proportions. I think this outfit has that "effortless chic" look about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-with-2-questions#post-1237408 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 05:59:13 +0000 Lyn D. 1237408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sox!<br />No other colour needed, we are all having Bad Hair Day anxiety with our WIWs now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-with-2-questions#post-1237284 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 02:45:27 +0000 anne 1237284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. I meant that my feeling that there should be a pop of colour was a 2008 feeling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-with-2-questions#post-1237246 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 02:16:42 +0000 Anonymous 1237246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The socks look like part of the booties. I really like the white jacket with this. There is no tummy issue in sight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-with-2-questions#post-1237245 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 02:15:33 +0000 CocoLion 1237245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing 2008 going on here, looks 2014 and I think a bit of sock peeking looks intentional in this outfit, adding a touch of edge. &nbsp;</p> <p>What's wrong with your hair? &nbsp;It looks way better than mine even on my best hair days. &nbsp;Yes I read IKs thread and feel I may be one of those where the forum is thinking … she needs a new 'do.</p> <p>I think I shall invite the forum for feedback next time I post a WIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-with-2-questions#post-1237235 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 02:11:32 +0000 Suz 1237235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, your tummy is not an issue at all. I love the subtle grey and white on you. Sophisticated and a bit edgy yet soft. I like it with the booties, too! I can't really see the detail in those photos so cannot advise about the socks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-with-2-questions#post-1237220 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 02:05:46 +0000 anne 1237220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. Is having the socks showing the top of the booties okay.<br /> 2. This may be a bit 2008 but I feel the lack if a pop of color. Thoughts?<br /> Oh and I know cf IKs recent post that my hair is awful.<br /> I am fairly sure my tummy doesn't look quite that bad IRL. I think its the angle<br /> Eta pic 4 a close up of the booties </p>
