You so tall and statuesque! Beautiful cobalt suit! </p> <p>I have a black sequin tube top but I think it will be too big for my waist, but I will try it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-spring-work-modernica-outfits#post-2320448 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 11:24:49 +0000 Tanya 2320448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much, Kari and Zaeobi!&nbsp; I am having lots of fun with the whole cummerbund idea, and there will be more oufit post with it coming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-spring-work-modernica-outfits#post-2320416 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 04:05:57 +0000 Zaeobi 2320416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for the makeshift cummerbund! It really helps to make that outfit pop </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-spring-work-modernica-outfits#post-2320279 Thu, 27 Apr 2023 06:11:30 +0000 Kari 2320279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE these. The faux-cummerbund styling is awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-spring-work-modernica-outfits#post-2320010 Tue, 25 Apr 2023 22:09:22 +0000 Tanya 2320010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Carol and Annabelle!</p> <p>Carol, I enjoy taking a little bit of risk here and there, and color-blocking with brighter than usual colors is just about the right amount of risk.</p> <p>Annabelle, you are very kind!&nbsp; &nbsp;I think dragging on the ground is something that is not very practical for real life.&nbsp; Personally, when wearing wider pants with heels, like here, I like them to almost (but not quite) touch the ground in the back, so they are about 1/4-1/2" of the ground. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-spring-work-modernica-outfits#post-2319680 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 23:51:49 +0000 annabelle 2319680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for posting these outfits! I'm inspired. Tanya, I've been looking at wide legged pants, and struggling with designers' recommendations for the the pants dragging on the ground. How do you solve this where they dont drag, and still look proper? Your these two outfits look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-spring-work-modernica-outfits#post-2319676 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 23:36:33 +0000 Carol 2319676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Color blocking has always been a fashion concept that actually gets me emotional, and I love that you chose bright colors. I find your outfits risk taking.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-spring-work-modernica-outfits#post-2319622 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 18:16:48 +0000 Tanya 2319622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for such kind comments.&nbsp; &nbsp;I am glad many of you like the whole "tube top as cummerbund" idea and may even try it yourself.&nbsp; &nbsp;I got a 2nd one in cobalt to experiment some more.</p> <p>Runcarla, I think the tiny size for the tube top is the right way to go.&nbsp; The ones I got fit my waist, not my chest, so I sized down from my usual size.&nbsp; After some playing with versions that did not work, I realized that they need to be ribbed and smaller than me waist so that they can stretch out properly, otherwise they look a bit loose and sloppy.&nbsp; &nbsp;I haven't thought of a sparkly version for holidays, but really love the idea, thanks!</p> <p>Brooklyn, Suz and Angie, you are all so kind, thank you.&nbsp; &nbsp; To flip the sentiments around, half of my motivation of going to the office when I don't have to is to get to actually wear real clothes and not just loungewear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-spring-work-modernica-outfits#post-2319618 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 18:05:04 +0000 Katerina 2319618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

I'd come to your office just to see what you're wearing &nbsp;too. The very best fashion show :)</p> <p>The white buttons on that navy blazer launch me into orbit....... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-spring-work-modernica-outfits#post-2319561 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 11:40:06 +0000 Dee 2319561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfits, and that tube top is coming in handy again as cummerbund. Love how it matches the stripe in your pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-spring-work-modernica-outfits#post-2319533 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 04:21:45 +0000 Suz 2319533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Tanya</b> -- wow! This cummerbund look is sensational on you. Just brilliant! So creative and clever. If you've got it, flaunt it, and you've got it! Both outfits are wonderful but I'm over the moon at the second one, both with the jacket and without. Your co-workers are lucky they get to see you in passing!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-spring-work-modernica-outfits#post-2319531 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 04:18:25 +0000 Brooklyn 2319531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I thought it couldn’t get better than no 2, but then you topped it with the cummerbund outfit. What a great hack! YLF x 2!</p> <p>ETA: I would come into the office rather than WFH just to see your outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-spring-work-modernica-outfits#post-2319521 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 03:39:36 +0000 Jaime 2319521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clever and stunning!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-spring-work-modernica-outfits#post-2319449 Sat, 22 Apr 2023 20:48:45 +0000 CarolS 2319449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow -- high marks for creativity, Tanya. Nice way to wear a tube top without having to worry about a wardrobe malfunction!!
