I'm so glad you all seem to like the EB joggers! I would have kept them anyway, but it's always nice to have forum approval. :)</p> <p><b>Alassë&nbsp;</b>- The dress looks burgundy, but it's actually more of a plum color. It kind of bugs me that it's off from my palette, but I like it enough that I deal with it.</p> <p><b>Angie -&nbsp;</b>The weather here is bipolar in March, but I like it. Keeps things exciting.</p> <p><b>Brooklyn -&nbsp;</b>Eddie Bauer is an American outdoors brand. They mostly do gear and gear-adjacent styles, but I love them because theire stuff is generally well-made and comes in tall/extended sizes.</p> <p><b>Diane -&nbsp;</b>I still don't wear lipstick every day, but I'm learning to be more comfortable with it.</p> <p><b>Vix -&nbsp;</b>Haha! I'm going to tell myself that about the chalk from now on!</p> <p>Thank you also to Momo, Karin, Rachylou, alaskagirl, and J'Aileen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-at-homekeeping-it-real#post-1634522 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 14:23:55 +0000 Vix 1634522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jenn --</p> <p>The casual looks are great and I can't believe how good you looked in #3 for your HfH/lugging! Let's just say my "look" for that kind of stuff leaves a lot to be desired.</p> <p>True story, I thought that chalk on your jeans was artful distressing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-at-homekeeping-it-real#post-1634470 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 12:34:34 +0000 Anonymous 1634470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have your casual style nailed Jenn!

I don't know this brand at all but would be prepared to give them a try. You look comfy and cool. Love the ruching. I think the dress is very flattering.

A blizzard?! We only had a dusting of snow yesterday. This morning it was in the 20s though. I hope our peach blossoms aren't nuked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-at-homekeeping-it-real#post-1634137 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 15:49:41 +0000 Jenn 1634137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ginger, it was 70° yesterday! This is just the reality of Colorado spring. I wouldn't trade it, though. :)</p> <p>Thank you for the jacket compliment. I've gotten enough use out of it that I'll be on the lookout for something similar in real leather this fall. I kind of hate the squeakiness of the faux stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-at-homekeeping-it-real#post-1634124 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 15:16:43 +0000 Ginger 1634124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are such great looks! That is one gorgeous jacket. (I've noticed the sheer-with-flash effect before - it's rather startling sometimes!) You must be more acclimatized to cold than I; I would be shivering and very whiny in the same situation. I totally understand being covered in dust - in my case it was Buzz and me in sandstone dust plus whatever masonry dust drifted through the air. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-at-homekeeping-it-real#post-1634109 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 14:48:34 +0000 Jenn 1634109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I'm a crafter/handmaker. I make home decor and gift items from used books, that I sell mostly online (Etsy), but also at local Denver-area craft shows. If you click through to my (sadly out-of-date) website, there's a link to the shop. The flooring I got is actually going to go on top of my folding tables to make them look like wood! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-at-homekeeping-it-real#post-1634106 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 14:40:15 +0000 Anonymous 1634106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely excellent Eddie Bauer pants. Really like those on you! &nbsp;And i'm intrigued by the hunt for flooring for your show booth. What is it you are showing? &nbsp; Sorry if I should know this from previous mentions about what it is you do.....</p> <p>p.s. I don't think a dress and high shaft boots are a bad thing at all. I used to quite like wearing that look myself . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-at-homekeeping-it-real#post-1634102 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 14:34:18 +0000 Jenn 1634102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Normally, when I do a WIW on Wednesday, I have at least one day where I aim for smart or business casual. Not so much this week. Today would be my usual volunteer/meeting day and we're literally in the midst of a blizzard, so school is cancelled and I'm not leaving the house.</p> <p>#1 - work-at-home uniform of sorts, with the jacket tossed over for whenever I go out. I just got these twill joggers from Eddie Bauer and I LOVE them. I think they're actually cuter than they photograph. They're ruched up the sides, which gives them that scrunched texture, but the camera exaggerates the wrinkle-effect. The camera also exaggerates the sheerness of the black linen tee. In normal light, you can't see my bra, I swear!</p> <p>#2 - errands on a warmer day. Higher-shaft ankle booties paired with a dress probably isn't conventionally flattering, but I like it.</p> <p>#3 - keeping it real for you... as if I ever do anything but. My day yesterday involved combing the yard at the Habitat for Humanity store to find wood flooring for my show booth, and then hauling around the chalk-covered canvas I use for backdrops. I'm covered in chalk in this photo and holding my new parquet tiles. RATE would be understating it, but the jeans/tee/puffy vest outfit worked well for the day.</p> <p>#4 - view from my driveway before the snow and wind really kicked up this morning. One very optimistic robin.</p> <p>All your thoughts are welcome, as always. </p>
