It is good to know that I am on the right track. I try to bring a jacket with me almost every day, in case there is an unexpected meeting with someone higher up. The AC is medium, so I could go both with and without a topper. At this point, I usually go without, but it is good to have the option to put it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x4-first-work-outfits-at-the-new-job#post-1820672 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 17:24:38 +0000 Anonymous 1820672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a good new uniform template. You look great in jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x4-first-work-outfits-at-the-new-job#post-1820670 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 17:19:15 +0000 The Cat 1820670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All the outfits (including #6) look great. It is amazing how much more polished and professional they look when a jacket is added. And the bags are well chosen for each outfit. Nice collection of scarves and shoes, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x4-first-work-outfits-at-the-new-job#post-1820567 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 09:16:40 +0000 lyn67 1820567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A smashing start at your new job, Tanya! My faves are nr 1, 2, 6 and 8 (which is so different with the lighter column opf color) but all are great and will do you all the favors for feeling confident and professional among all the other ladies(within the 3 groups you have mentioned in another post, too!). Also noticed, the neckerchief is (still) your stand out and statement accessory(like mine the waistbag is:-)) just beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x4-first-work-outfits-at-the-new-job#post-1820466 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 21:07:00 +0000 Anonymous 1820466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a smashing first week of outfits! &nbsp;I'm particularly fond of the belted jacket.<br />The black blazer looks good to my eye, too. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x4-first-work-outfits-at-the-new-job#post-1820460 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 20:31:57 +0000 Carla 1820460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great week. I really like the look you are putting together for yourself - clean silhouette and great colours. It says 'business' while remaining approachable. I especially like the light blue BR tie jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x4-first-work-outfits-at-the-new-job#post-1820436 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 18:25:52 +0000 bridgie 1820436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All your outfits are great.&nbsp; How nice to start your new job, knowing that you are dressed appropriately every day and never a hit or miss kind of day.&nbsp; It &nbsp;may be&nbsp;subtle but I think you will be a trendsetter at your new place. Looking forward to next weeks posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x4-first-work-outfits-at-the-new-job#post-1820411 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 14:08:55 +0000 Angie 1820411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fab in the photo.

I like the jacket in #2 + the black jacket looks good too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x4-first-work-outfits-at-the-new-job#post-1820219 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 18:39:39 +0000 Dianna 1820219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the theory jacket is fine. You did really well in your first week at your new job. My favorite outfits are 1-2 and 7-8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x4-first-work-outfits-at-the-new-job#post-1820215 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 18:30:18 +0000 skylurker 1820215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All good, as usual. I go for #4 as my favourite, because I like the colour combo best. You look amazing in fushia.<br /> No, I don't think the Theory blazer is too short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x4-first-work-outfits-at-the-new-job#post-1820197 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 16:28:31 +0000 Mirjana 1820197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfits, not conservative, lovely color and shoes. I think the black blazer is a little shorter for pants but that is really if you like to be perfectionist. My favorite is #8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x4-first-work-outfits-at-the-new-job#post-1820194 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 16:26:36 +0000 ClaraT 1820194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Sloans fit you so well and look professional. Love that textured tie blazer. Re: blazer in 6--it looks short but purposefully so since the blouse is longer. I wouldn't have thought twice about the length if you hadn't asked. Congrats on finishing your first week. Hope it wasn't too exhausting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x4-first-work-outfits-at-the-new-job#post-1820185 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 15:16:13 +0000 rachylou 1820185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice. Don't think the blazer looks short at all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x4-first-work-outfits-at-the-new-job#post-1820178 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 14:47:03 +0000 Tanya 1820178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are the first four work outfits I wore on my new job with a business casual dress code from Monday through Thursday&nbsp; last week.&nbsp; As I mentioned in my previous posts, I went pretty conservative - I wanted to look polished, but not to stand out in any way or wear anything too interesting.&nbsp;&nbsp; The outfits are pretty similar - all consist of a pair of BR Sloan pants, blazer, simple top and appropriate shoes.&nbsp; I took all the photos in the evening when I got home, so I apologize for the darkness and looking a bit rumpled, I will try to take them in he mornings in the future, but am still getting used to getting up very early. The outfits are:</p> <p>Mon (#1-2): Solid navy Sloan pants, tie-waist textured blue BR blazer, simple short sleeved white AT sweater, navy VC loafers, Loft navy/white silk neckerchief<br />Tue (#3-4): Textured navy Sloan pants, old jersey navy H&amp;M blazer, fuchsia BR short sleeved sweater, navy AT ankle strap pumps, AT silk patterned neckerchief<br />Wed (#5-6): Black/w white dots Sloan pant, black Theory Gabe blazer, black&amp;white silk WHBM blouse, black NR tassel loafers<br />Thu (#7-8): Taupe cotton sateen Sloan pants, bone H&amp;M ponte blazer, orchid Piperlime&nbsp; silk t-shirt blouse, tan ankle strap Dolce Vita flats, green/orchid silk AT neckerchief<br />First three days I carried my BR navy snakeskin tote that could fit my laptop, on Thu I switched to the bone BR satchel.</p> <p>I have a question regarding the black Theory blazer in #6:&nbsp; does it look a little short on my long torso?&nbsp; If yes, what would be the best way to style it (e.g. over column of color) to minimize that effect? </p>
