It seems to be suiting you very much. Well done also for getting so organised, I'm impressed! The walk to work gear is gorgeous and I am sure your new colleagues admire them as much as your work outfits. I especially like the layering in 6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workwear-roundup#post-1936249 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 03:27:21 +0000 Bijou 1936249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are glowing with health and happiness, it just radiates out of these photos. You are definitely going to be my inspiration for active wear, I love the co-ordinated purple top and shoes in #12. Your work outfits are also polished and lovely and very true to your style. The turquoise mesh dress is winner for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workwear-roundup#post-1936184 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 00:51:39 +0000 Beantown 1936184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The mesh dresses look great in these pictures- I don't particularly like them on the Universal Standard site, but they look great they way you have styled them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workwear-roundup#post-1936156 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 00:01:34 +0000 Linda 1936156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I love every single outfit! Walking is such a good activity, I always wanted a job I could walk to. When I lived in New York, I was able to take the subway to work and get off a stop early and walk the rest of the way! </p> <p>I think that green skirt and capelet look fantastic on you and love the necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workwear-roundup#post-1935994 Thu, 12 Jul 2018 19:09:56 +0000 frannieb 1935994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>honestly I could just kidnap you wardrobe.</p> <p>Loving the universal standard knit dresses on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workwear-roundup#post-1935961 Thu, 12 Jul 2018 18:03:13 +0000 Anonymous 1935961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great lifestyle change too - more movement and less driving is a good thing . &nbsp;Your outfits are so great - and as Suz said, you have always been so creative and skilled with colour. &nbsp;I have to say - I love your hair clipped back and deeply parted like this - I thought it was a short hair cut! &nbsp;It's a very flattering shape for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workwear-roundup#post-1935949 Thu, 12 Jul 2018 17:37:04 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1935949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wrt lanyards:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/fall-2018-accessory-trend-lanyards#4">https://www.vogue.com/slidesho.....lanyards#4</a></p> <p>I'm impressed with your ability to look this chic after a walk to work with everything stuffed in your backpack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workwear-roundup#post-1935884 Thu, 12 Jul 2018 15:58:13 +0000 The Cat 1935884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colours and style! My favourites are #2, 8 and 9. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workwear-roundup#post-1935560 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 20:32:32 +0000 3style 1935560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your new job. You are looking relaxed and energetic all at once, which is outstanding in my book. I’m especially impressed with the blue sweater dress plus sheer dress plus skinny jeans outfit. I’d expect that to be kind of a busy looking from the description, with too many layers, especially when you consider your use of layered necklaces. Instead, you have paid attention to the details of length and texture and it all looks like it belongs together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workwear-roundup#post-1935433 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:31:44 +0000 Christina F. 1935433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on the new commute! I got a Fitbit last year and have been walking a similar amount in the city. It’s been great. My favorites are 1, 5, and 11. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workwear-roundup#post-1935431 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:27:19 +0000 Thistle 1935431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so fab!!</p> <p>And what a terrific way to get in more movement. I need to figure something out as I sit all day long, and I live in the suburbs, so I drive to and from work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workwear-roundup#post-1935425 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:12:37 +0000 rachylou 1935425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

You look amazing in all of these! There's so much creativity in these outfits. That's nothing new for you, in a way -- I mean you were always really creative with your use of colour. But now you've added new shapes to your repertoire and I must say your style has never looked better! I can't pick a favourite, they're just great! LOVE the green capelet outfit and also #9. But then I also love #1 and #5 and #6.&nbsp;</p> <p>Not to mention the commuting outfits!</p> <p>Hope the new job is going well and congrats.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workwear-roundup#post-1935291 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 02:10:48 +0000 Thea 1935291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on the new job!

The capelet is such a unique statement and the necklace paired with it is gorgeous. I also love the bright tops and leggings in your gear capsule. It inspires me to make more of a statement with my workout clothes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workwear-roundup#post-1935225 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 22:02:28 +0000 Anonymous 1935225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More congratulations on your new job.

Hope the new job is going well so far ^^ I have to say I have been really enjoying seeing more dramatic and unique details creep into your wardrobe the past couple years. For one it appeals to my dramatic side but for two I hope that means that the available options have just been improving that much! Love everything about #2 (what is that amazing necklace??) and #5 (the jacket!), and am also very drawn to the layering in #6. Great gear makes it easy to want to go do stuff, doesn't it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workwear-roundup#post-1935204 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 21:05:59 +0000 Sara L. 1935204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great collection of outfits.&nbsp; The cap dress is fabulous as are the long tunics in #6 and 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Your gear is cute too.&nbsp; I try to keep my gear capsule small but updated and fun.&nbsp; It gives me more incentive to get dressed to work out (which honestly isn't my favorite activity).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workwear-roundup#post-1935202 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 20:57:05 +0000 Kari 1935202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I made a career change a couple weeks ago and am now working downtown in the city, vs. making a reverse commute to the suburbs. A few impacts this has:</p> <p>• I’m no longer driving, and hope to keep it that way as much as I can - so far my commute has been totally by bus and on foot, and I’m pushing myself to walk extra miles (over 4 miles a day is my goal, and that’s been easy to achieve with walking to farther-away bus stops, walking instead of driving to park-and-rides, walking mid-day at work.)<br /> • Consequently, most days, I’m commuting in gear, walking briskly for 1-3.5 miles at a time, carrying a 10-15 lb backpack with a change of clothes, laptop, purse, and toiletries to do some cleanup in the locker room. See pictures 10-13 for examples.<br /> • Even though my job is sedentary, I use a sit-stand desk and try to walk/get up often. Also, our floor is concrete, so some of my shoes are loud! I strive to wear shoes with rubberized soles and want to get some of my more blocky, “loud” shoes heel/toe pads or something to make them quieter and more grippy. I like to take mid-day walks in dress shoes that are comfortable enough to do so (like my low wedges.)<br /> • Dress is on the casual side of business casual, jeans ok everyday.<br /> • I carry a badge. Using a basic neck lanyard now but kind of feel like buying or making something more fun. I’ll have to check Etsy.<br /> • To minimize time needed to clean up post commute, I’m clipping my hair back in a low, short ponytail or French twist with an extreme side part/heavy long bangs, sometimes a little curl. Dry shampoo or more often Cornstarch is my friend. </p> <p>Work wear has included outfits like:<br /> 1. Bright floral short-sleeved blouse tucked into belted, cropped skinnies, faux-pearl necklaces, teal titanium specs, navy wedges<br /> 2-4. Forest green capelet and matching knit pencil skirt, Rose gold wedges, rose gold collar necklace, purple titanium cat-eye specs (and tortoiseshell cateye sunglasses)<br /> 5. Knit/pleather tee tucked in to belted, cropped skinnies; pewter sandals; black kimono-inspired jacket with burgundy floral print, purple titanium cat-eye specs<br /> 6. Indigo turtleneck sweater dress over long sleeved black mesh dress, cropped skinnies, navy wedges; rose gold layered pendant necklaces<br /> 7-8: Turquoise long-sleeved mesh dress layered over turquoise tee and black leggings tucked into black boots; turquoise beaded necklace; teal titanium specs<br /> 9. Burgundy bell-sleeved blouse over burgundy knit pencil skirt with low burgundy pumps and rose gold collar necklace </p>
