Fantastic skinnies. I'd like to see the top in #7 a size up so that it's slouchy all over; right now I see "loose" but not "slouchy" which I think will fit better with what you're after here. Your dressier casual looks are fab, too bad hubby and son! I do want to see the pants in #1, 4, and 5 rolled up one more notch though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr/page/2#post-736562 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 04:32:58 +0000 ElleH 736562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 1, 3, 5, 6 &amp; 7. That is most of them so I think you're onto something lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr/page/2#post-736469 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 01:02:15 +0000 Angie 736469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr/page/2#post-736455 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 00:43:56 +0000 christy 736455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! So do you agree that I'm headed in the right direction in pics 6/7 if my goal is to make my casual style more edgy and modern and a little less classic? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr/page/2#post-736452 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 00:37:26 +0000 Angie 736452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just chiming in to say that you are so SUPER CUTE!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-736450 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 00:35:42 +0000 christy 736450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the comments and encouragement! I'm glad to know that I seem to be heading in the right direction when it comes to making my casual style more interesting.<br /> Suz - interesting observation on the hair curly vs straight! It's straight in #5 because I still had my blowout after getting my hair cut, but I'm finding that I am wearing my curls more frequently these days.<br /> Deborah - Hah! I'm beginning to think its quite possible we were separated at birth! I'd be thrilled to be your twin!<br /> Lyn D. - I will most definitely layer under the grey striped sweater as the weather cools. Thanks for the suggestion!<br /> Denise - I adore your casual style and find your skinny jeans outfits super inspirational.<br /> Shannon - It's funny. I'm just now giving myself "permission" NOT to look for items that do double duty and I feel like my casual style is improving because of it. I think it's because my work style is always going to be modern classic due to my environment. If i want my casual wardrobe to be "cooler" or hipper or whatever, I need to be willing to find items that won't necessarily cross over.<br /> Texstyle - thanks for the analysis on why 6/7 seem to be working better - or at least are more interesting. Great observations and ideas.</p> <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-736055 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 17:55:01 +0000 rachylou 736055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#5 and 6 are super fab casual looks IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-736053 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 17:53:14 +0000 Kate 736053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yet another vote for #6. I also love #7. Your casual style is looking really great; you've inspired me to put more thought and effort into mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735969 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 16:40:30 +0000 Anonymous 735969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christy, I find your casual looks really inspiring -- I say you have the casual thing down! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735947 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 16:24:42 +0000 BethL 735947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Suz, I'm a work at home type, too, and I'm always looking for ideas to keep my style as "smart casual" rather than just thrown-on-in-a-hurry, too casual. I'm favoriting this thread because you've got some great looks going on here, and you've given me some good ideas. I especially like 6 and 7, though all of them work well. I think your top in #7 is fine, size-wise, and it looks fantastic with the booties. Like some of the others have said, I'd probably swap out either the printed shoes or bag with a solid in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735937 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 16:16:40 +0000 catgirl 735937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>6 and 7 are my faves here - the only one not bowling me over is the blue cowlneck, but I think I have a poison eye for cowlnecks. Your smile is so radiant it lifts up every outfit too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735880 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 14:40:40 +0000 Parsley 735880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your casual outfits look great, Christy!<br /> My favorites are 1 and 7. I'm crazy about the slouchy tee with those boots in #7 (and I have the same ones- yay NAS!). I think the slouchy skinnies look great on you, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735874 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 14:30:51 +0000 LizL 735874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all fab! I really love 1 &amp; 6, but well done on all of them, will be stealing some of your ideas for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735863 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 14:16:52 +0000 texstyle 735863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all but also love #6 and 7 like the others. I wondered to myself WHY do we all like #6 and #7 so much? The best I could think of was because the tops, semi-tuck and booties are so "current" or maybe even more "hip" where as the other oufits are also very nice, they are more traditional in style - esp. the tops. Now I wonder what could be done to make #1 similarly more "hip" - maybe just the booties and semi-tuck would do it there too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735859 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 14:11:27 +0000 citygirldc 735859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 3, 6 and 7 because they just pop and they are so "cool". it's the opposite of your work wear which is a total plus and gives you a different vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735827 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 13:26:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 735827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christy - I can really relate to the need for casual style. Like you, I work full time in an office setting where business wear bordering on "dressy" business is what I wear. It's what I'm comfortable in.</p> <p>I don't have alot of casual wear and have been working towards buying pieces that can fill both my workwear capsule and my casual wear capsule. </p> <p>I'm glad you've posted these because I need all the inspiration I can get! I think these all work very well - what is it about #3 that you're questioning? I think it looks fantastic and I intend on copying it!</p> <p>As for #6 and #7 - YES YES YES!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735822 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 13:21:53 +0000 Sara L. 735822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great looks. I struggle with my casual style too. The slouchy skinnies look good and I like both new tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735817 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 13:05:17 +0000 Jaime 735817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific and I also love #6 especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735815 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 13:01:50 +0000 Kat 735815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had to add this to my favorites because I want to reference it. You look great, love your casual style. I'll add my voice to the chorus approving LOUDLY of #6 especially. Although they all look great, I'd have to agree with you that 3 may be a little off for me (who prefers a more minimal approach) but great for someone who appreciates ALGO looks.<br /> Fantastic bunch, please keep posting casual looks, I love the inspiration </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735734 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 08:20:52 +0000 Kiwichik 735734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thi k all your casual looks work. Some are a little dressier than others but still casual. Really like your top in 7 it looks like the right amount if slouch &amp; works well with those boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735712 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 06:58:02 +0000 CocoLion 735712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another yay vote for #6. That feels like a new direction for your casual style and I like it.</p> <p>ETA -- top #7 looks appropriately sized. For a slouchier look around the bustline and arms, you could size up. I like the colors on you. And Marshalls is the perfect place for a casual wardrobe!!! I go to TJ Maxx all the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735710 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 06:36:30 +0000 Lyn D. 735710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the white shirt tucked, have you tried it under the striped top in pic 5?<br /> #6 is FAB! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735704 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 05:45:06 +0000 Scarlet 735704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 6. I think the top in 7 may be too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735693 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 05:15:10 +0000 Caro in Oz 735693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely. You have a great casual style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735676 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 04:44:02 +0000 Nadya 735676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My faves are 1 and 2 and the two skinny jean outfits. Great find on the BF and skinnies! I think this casual thingis all coming together well for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735667 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 04:32:00 +0000 fashionista 735667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I so so love all your casual styles Christy. Can I borrow those flats in #3. Drooling over it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735664 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 04:27:53 +0000 Tina 735664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christy, I don't think you need to worry about lookin less than fab...ever! These are all great looks. You are on the dressier side of casual but that is probably because that is who you are. I'm sure you are also one of the best dressed at work. No need to fret, as long as you are comfortable! If you can look this good in 'casual' wear, then by all means carry on! I will admire from afar, especially the white bottoms! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735643 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 03:11:50 +0000 MsMary 735643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fantastic! I especially love 6 and 7! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735642 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 03:10:28 +0000 Makrame 735642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I am with Anna, #6 is perfect! I also like #1 and 3 a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-on-my-casual-style---including-kr#post-735627 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 02:39:12 +0000 Susie 735627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your casual outfits look way better than just ok! #6 is fantastic; that is definitely my favorite. And the gray and red top looks great and will also work with leggings. On #3, I would prefer to see a solid color shoe or bag. The overall look is good but to my eye the 3 patterns appear to be a lot going on.</p> <p>I really do like your casual style, especially with jeans. </p>
