I'd forgotten how hard it can be to wear a polo shirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-conference-edition-part-2#post-907032 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 19:38:21 +0000 amiable 907032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks all! &nbsp;I stopped at Walmart this afternoon and got some camis that will work under to lengthen the top visually. &nbsp;I think it'll work lots better. &nbsp;Your suggestions have all been so helpful! &nbsp;Ann - I'm going to give that scarf idea &nbsp;a try! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-conference-edition-part-2#post-907002 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 18:38:11 +0000 Aida 907002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #9 with a longer blazer for the topper (sorry can't be specific but the details of the black toppers are lost on my monitor).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-conference-edition-part-2#post-906873 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 15:43:46 +0000 Rambling Ann 906873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I know you asked about bottoms, but can you get some color around your neck? A rolled scarf tied kerchief-style? A wide set of beads? If you can put a white collared shirt on underneath and then tuck a scarf in, that would be memorable, at least compared to everyone else in the booth. I am getting it that you want to stand out a little, right? &nbsp;Something that says I am friendly and approachable and fun to talk to. Do a different something every day (thrift store!) and your coworkers will look so bland in comparison.<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-conference-edition-part-2#post-906735 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 12:58:08 +0000 amiable 906735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you Deb - That helps me a lot (and I like knowing that indeed, I'm not the only one in this quandry!) &nbsp;<br /><br />If I were to get a long sleeve tee to wear under the shirt - what color? &nbsp;Should I try to match it, or just go with a neutral, like white or gray!<br /><br />Thank you all so much for your help. &nbsp;Off to see which, if any of these, don't cause muffin top (that 5 lbs. I gained really shows up there....) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-conference-edition-part-2#post-906730 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 12:26:02 +0000 Suz 906730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Deb's visual is great!&nbsp;<br /><br />You are not the only one who struggles with this. I guess it is just a question of grinning and bearing it, and trying to put together a fab ensemble or two for the evening events.&nbsp;<br /><br />Looking at all of these together, I think I prefer #1. &nbsp;The safest option, I guess (other than the chinos) and yet it seems to work best to my eye. You could also bring the white jeans to switch things up.&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-conference-edition-part-2#post-906670 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 06:17:45 +0000 Deborah 906670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, I am smiling to myself as I have this same dilemma in a few weeks:). Can I tell you how much I dislike work polo shirts! My advice for what it's worth is ;</p> <p>1.<br /> Don't stress too much because you have made each option look pretty good.</p> <p>2.<br /> I definitely like the semi tuck option. </p> <p>3.<br /> Do you have a long sleeve tee you can layer under it?</p> <p>4.<br /> jacket in 4 looks great.</p> <p>Here's what I did last time, but like you, this year I hope to inject a bit more of my style into the ensemble :)</p> <p>Good luck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-conference-edition-part-2#post-906647 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 05:18:27 +0000 Tanya 906647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Among the bottoms, I like options #1, 5 and 9 best. &nbsp;among the jackets I actually prefer the long one in #1. &nbsp;An I also vote for the more fitted shirt. &nbsp;The color of the shirt is actually quite pretty on you, so don't feel too bad about having to wear it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-conference-edition-part-2#post-906646 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 05:15:09 +0000 Jules 906646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This isn't boring, actually very interesting to me how different the looks can be. I like #5 and #10 best (great suggestions about layering underneath). #1 is okay.&nbsp;Can you wear a scarf at all? Might help mix things up a bit.<br />I think polo shirt and skirt is a pretty hard look to pull off, seems very Land's End or Connecticut preppy to me. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-conference-edition-part-2#post-906645 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 05:14:25 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 906645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the smaller shirt much better, and I like the idea of layering underneath if necessary, even a long sleeved t could work. i I can imagine the pants in 5 and jacket 1 working well for a long over slim look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-conference-edition-part-2#post-906631 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 04:49:46 +0000 DonnaF 906631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The gray wide leg pants are my least favorite, I think, because they are the most masculine.&nbsp; Sometimes masculine can be cute and edgy, like if you were wearing a crisp white shirt, but not with this polo.&nbsp; I much prefer the slimmer legs.&nbsp; I also like the smaller shirt.&nbsp; Do you have a striped or polka dot tank top you could wear underneath?&nbsp; <br /><br />I admire your determination to make the best of your conference shirt!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-conference-edition-part-2#post-906623 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 04:33:46 +0000 Liz A. 906623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The smaller might be better as long as you're comfortable and you can find a pant combo with&nbsp;no muffin top issues &nbsp;The larger size looks better when partially tucked; that much I can see from the pictures. &nbsp;Maybe others will chime in with some&nbsp;good ideas. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-conference-edition-part-2#post-906617 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 04:11:06 +0000 amiable 906617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Here's the smaller shirt, with a gray shirt underneath. &nbsp;Better?<br /><br />(It is better, isn't it - It just shows my muffin top in these pants, so I'd have to be more careful in my pants selection. &nbsp;These are the chinos that I'm not planning to take.) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-conference-edition-part-2#post-906616 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 04:07:28 +0000 amiable 906616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yeah - I know. &nbsp;I don't think I have anything longer in a similar color, but it might warrant a trip to the store....<br /><br />I do have the shirt one size smaller also - but it's even shorter....<br /><br />Would white under it work? &nbsp;Or gray? &nbsp;I'll give gray &nbsp;try. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-conference-edition-part-2#post-906613 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 04:03:03 +0000 Liz A. 906613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That top is killing me! &nbsp;What if you wore a coordinating layer underneath that mimicked the shape so it would appear a little longer. &nbsp;It is really too short and boxy for you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-conference-edition-part-2#post-906610 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 03:57:19 +0000 amiable 906610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ And a few toppers. &nbsp;I think #4 is the winner shape-wise here - right?<br /><br />#1 black knit boyfriend blazer<br />#2 3/4 sleeve cardi<br />#3 black blazer<br />#4 charcoal blazer https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-conference-edition-part-2#post-906607 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 03:55:13 +0000 amiable 906607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Okay, this question is really about shapes and proportions. &nbsp;On top is the required conference shirt. &nbsp;I'm supposed to wear it with Chinos, but have permission to wear it with anything that's reasonably business-casual. &nbsp;Even the white jeans.<br /><br />#1 bootleg black<br />#2 Gray pleated baggy slouchy tapered pants (enough adjectives?) Tucked in.<br />#3 Gray pants from #2, untucked - is the shape or the pants&nbsp;too unconventional?<br />#4 Lighter gray wide-let pants<br />#5 Skinny black<br />#6 Skirt, tucked in (see? I look weird in skirts...)<br />#7 Skirt, untucked<br />#8 Navy chinos - the recommended wear<br />#9 White jeans - probably too casual, as much as I love them.<br /><br />ETA: #10, a smaller size shirt, with an undershirt and the chinos. Would this combo be better than the larger-size shirt that's a bit longer?<br /><br />Questions: Which ones look the best proportionally and shape-wise? &nbsp;I can't do anything about the shirt or it's length, but I could add a topper, as long as said topper doesn't cover the logo.<br /><br />I'd like to think that with long underwear, I'll be able to go without a topper, but I'll probably take a topper along just in case. &nbsp;Something that "coordinates", since none of these have "matching" toppers. &nbsp;<br /><br />Thanks for your input and patience - I know it's boring.
