Not overdressed at all IMO.</p> <p>I like your fur vest! I'm not usually a fan of them but I like that yours is more velvety and not hairy. It's very chic! And I love the burgundy color of the second outfit on you. How sweet of DH to buy the necklace!</p> <p>And happy birthday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-faux-fur-and-the-birthday-outfit#post-1399516 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:58:10 +0000 karymk 1399516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>men just don't get us wanting to play dress up, do they!!!

It was much cooler, but the temps have gone up in the last couple of days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-faux-fur-and-the-birthday-outfit#post-1399271 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 02:08:04 +0000 ElleH 1399271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Birthday! Cool Mom. You look great in these outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-faux-fur-and-the-birthday-outfit#post-1399195 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 00:18:24 +0000 Aida 1399195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A belated Happy Birthday to you, Neel! Sounds like a fun day ^^ Removing the rosette worked nicely, the top looks much less fussy now and still has plenty of interest with the pleating. Really like the look of those cutoffs, what a perfect looking pair of clams/long shorts! What are the temps like right now for you? This is a great way to look like fall when, clearly, you still have warmer temps to deal with. I don't see #1 as overly dressy at all, looks quite casual (with a dose of glam). An interesting observation about how others on their way to work looking dressy anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-faux-fur-and-the-birthday-outfit#post-1399159 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 23:23:14 +0000 Windchime 1399159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your burgundy blouse in the second outfit, Neel; it is gorgeous! Great styling with the shorts and burgundy booties, and Mr. Neel has a good eye for necklaces for you.</p> <p>Those F21 ankle boots are proving to be real workhorses for you, aren't they? </p> <p>Hope your birthday was lots of fun, and happy Crocs shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-faux-fur-and-the-birthday-outfit#post-1399110 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 22:22:40 +0000 Anonymous 1399110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As said, you a gorgeous.

Its like having an extended birthday *chuckle*</p> <p>I am so glad to meet fellow crocs users. Hiya jackiec and Susie :D. I can't believe they last longer than 4 years? I thought mine did good </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-faux-fur-and-the-birthday-outfit#post-1398878 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 14:54:58 +0000 Susie 1398878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Birthday!</p> <p>You look terrific in both outfits! And you look so happy in them...that definitely means that they are winners!</p> <p>I have a pair of Croc flip flops that I wear as house shoes in the summer. They are 8 years old and still going strong! When we moved into our house, I spent the first few days mostly standing on our hard tile kitchen floor and realized that I needed something cushiony and the Crocs did the job!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-faux-fur-and-the-birthday-outfit#post-1398872 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 14:46:20 +0000 jackiec 1398872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Birthday dear Neel!!!!</p> <p>Your outfits are both fab. How great that your F21 booties are workhorses. I love the burgundy top bookended by the boots, and the denim crops. Your DH is so sweet to pick out a necklace (and it glows!?).</p> <p>Ah so sad about your crocs. Mine are even older (and bright green). I will cry when they meet their end.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-faux-fur-and-the-birthday-outfit#post-1398833 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 13:34:50 +0000 Jaime 1398833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful in both outfits and well worth the effort! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-faux-fur-and-the-birthday-outfit#post-1398829 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 13:30:51 +0000 Anonymous 1398829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy birthday!</p> <p>Both outfits look really cute! I never would have thought that Forever 21 shoes would be remotely comfortable, so that's good to know.</p> <p>I've gotta say I'm <i>so</i> glad my life doesn't involve school runs. Early morning + having to look presentable for that many people = just no good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-faux-fur-and-the-birthday-outfit#post-1398798 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 11:28:04 +0000 Tania 1398798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way cool.&nbsp; Not overdressed at all.&nbsp; And rosettes off works for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-faux-fur-and-the-birthday-outfit#post-1398787 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 10:53:25 +0000 Neel 1398787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your sweet comments ^_^ </p> <p>DEB - In the midst of parents dressed up to go to work after school drop off ..

(I took about 5 minutes to dress up and it's not a 10 minute outdoors time ;)!)</p> <p>Me: In that 10 minutes, about 100 parents and 10 teachers see me!  I can't dress sloppy.</p> <p>DH: *smile*</p> <p>I don't think this outfit is overly dressy?  Do you?    My inspiration pic is attached as well (pic 1)   I am wearing skinny jeans (Next/old), sheer button down (DH bought from HK), faux fur chevron striped vest, with my F21 cut out boots.  Seriously these boots are the best money invested ever!!  Super comfy all day boots for me .... from F21 :)</p> <p><b>Outfit 2</b> - What I wore on my birthday for a small drive to a local mall, where they had the monthly art market going on.  It's a place for the local crafters to sell their products.  It was such a fun evening!  There is so much talent in the world .. I was blown over by all the beauties that people had hand crafted.  DH bought this polymer clay hand made necklace from a stall there because he thought it matched my outfit that day  Needless to say .... I was smitten  Bonus  .... it glows in the dark ... I won't get lost ever ;)</p> <p>I was wearing my cut off jeans shorts (cheap brand), frilly burgundy tunic top (If you remember I had said this top was a bit too cute for me.  I have now removed the rosettes from this top, to make it more wearable pic 6) and my burgundy F21 boots with gold buckles (F21/last season, no rave comfort reviews here!  It is an ok pair).</p> <p>So how did I do?  All suggestions for improvement are very welcome  Thanks for looking and commenting x</p> <p>ETA: My trusty house slippers - crocs, finally gave way after 4 years of non stop service and comfort. RIP my beloved crocs .. Suz ... I hope you are listening </p>
