Will you be wearing an overcoat? Or be doing just one do-all jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1077569 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 09:49:34 +0000 Lyn D. 1077569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking forward to some pics Suz- fun for us but hard work and time-consuming for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1077403 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 04:03:16 +0000 Sveta 1077403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't afford to forget forecast in our climate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1077399 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 03:59:02 +0000 Suz 1077399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point, Sveta..forgot the forecast. That is right. The wide legs stay at home this trip. But probably the tapered black pants can come.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1077392 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 03:50:30 +0000 Sveta 1077392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, wide leg trousers may be problematic if showers are in the forecast...just saying :-)<br />I think your black tapered trousers should be perfect and make &nbsp;you ready for any weather - as well as moto skinnis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1077387 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 03:46:23 +0000 Suz 1077387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfits, Angie -- I will take one of each, please!! :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>My black trousers are fluid but not flared -- they are baggy with a bit of slouch and tapered. I do love them and will certainly bring them. Not sure which portion of the days/ nights they would be best for. They pack extremely well.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also have a wide leg charcoal trouser from Theory. I'll post some pics tomorrow. Thank you all for good ideas!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1077327 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 02:34:09 +0000 Angie 1077327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, how about building your outfit around those gorgeous fluid back trousers - I think they are fairly flared. </p> <p>If I was going to this event, I'd either wear my charcoal pinstripe&nbsp;Theory suit, my Elizabeth &amp; James black flared trousers with a refined and fluid&nbsp;pullover, or white jeans with chunky turtleneck, ink blazer and ink booties. OR, I'd wear cream wool pants with cream booties, and fitted black turtleneck.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1077325 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 02:32:28 +0000 Anonymous 1077325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really liked your blue sequined top with you black flared skirt. Would it work for this event? The jacquard jacket is wonderful with jeans and your navy booties. How about the Tory Burch dress that will pack so well and go anywhere? Would it be warm enough with some warm silk layers underneath? I can't wait to see what you decide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1077324 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 02:31:51 +0000 Suz 1077324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry, all - i will try some outfits tomorrow. Super busy day here! And yes, Aviamariah, I love that BR jacket but I cannot get the sleeves shortened to the right length due to the button placement. And I don't want to settle. If I could alter it wouldn't bother me. But I hate sleeves that are too long. They make me look shorter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1077318 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 02:25:25 +0000 pil 1077318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Speaking of Beth Ann's taupe and berry suggestion, would your burgundy skirt and colorblocked burgundy NAS sweater work with the taupe leather jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1077306 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 02:13:21 +0000 Beth Ann 1077306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so understand this!&nbsp; You have a beautifully curated wardrobe, but a highly varied life.&nbsp; </p> <p>My two cents?&nbsp; Danier. I think your leather is a great base for a least one outfit.&nbsp; Taupe and berry.&nbsp; Yum.&nbsp; Navy, black and white.&nbsp; Yum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1077210 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 00:57:23 +0000 Sveta 1077210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, no pictures yet, you naughty girl!

Did you keep the JCrew toothpicks? Can you tuck them into boots or wear them with booties? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1076280 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 05:13:01 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1076280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>P.S. What exudes "approachability and cool" more than a leather jacket in a flattering color? Your jackets are more useful in my opinion than a suit for this set of events. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1076255 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 04:38:11 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1076255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you can fit in two leather jackets if you wear one! </p> <p>ETA: your flared skirt should go on the trip. And the DVF sweater. And sequined top. And two leather jackets. Your favorite pair of casual pants. Is that enough to start a capsule?</p> <p>Can't wait to see what you come up with. You'll show us, won't you?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1076229 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 04:22:05 +0000 Helenedith 1076229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all the thinking around your dilemma, I will watch the thread to see how you resolve it. It sounds like you have options already in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1076223 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 04:07:01 +0000 Jaime 1076223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am really bad at this (although I can't wait to see what you choose)&nbsp;but what about the dress you were wondering if you would have an occasion to wear for the dinner? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1076211 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 03:47:33 +0000 Caro in Oz 1076211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Theory wide legs &amp; the&nbsp;DVF sweater?&nbsp;Dress? &nbsp;Boots, leather jacket &amp;&nbsp;stripe skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1076202 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 03:28:11 +0000 Suz 1076202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still have it, Sveta..but I think I have to return for PPP's sake due to the sleeves. I can't alter it successfully because there is too little room between that last button and the edge. The button hole would show. So frustrating.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1076200 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 03:25:36 +0000 Sveta 1076200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad you returned the black tux - it wold be perfect with the navy top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1076195 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 03:23:19 +0000 Suz 1076195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Sveta not only knows <b>her </b>stuff, she knows mine! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Elizabeth, I know...talk about a first-world complainer, eh? It's not so much that I have nothing to wear as that I feel I don't have the <b>right</b> things to wear for this particular occasion. </p> <p>This feeling does sometimes arise around appearances for me. It might be displaced nervousness. Or then again, it might be based in reality. Each appearance I do is slightly different, with different audience, different type of venue. And I'm aiming for a very specific blend of approachability and "cool" (not that I ever actually achieve cool but hey, a girl can dream...).&nbsp;</p> <p>I think I might only have room for one leather jacket, alas...the suitcase is pretty small.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sveta, I tried that sequin top and it didn't really look good with my taupe jacket at all. Not sure why -- the blue is off. But it might work with the white and the right pair of jeans. That is maybe part of my problem, too. I think I need a lighter wash jean that is not a super skinny.&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA: I have a pair of black moto skinnies from Theory that might work with the BR sweatshirt. I can try that for evening.&nbsp;</p> <p>Just remembered:&nbsp;The first night is &nbsp;a casual dinner with the donors. Hmm. A skirt or dress might be best for that.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sarah, I like that idea maybe for evening...or maybe Sveta's...hmmm.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1076190 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 03:14:09 +0000 Elizabeth P 1076190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, now I'm even more speechless (is that possible) at Svetas reply. She knows your stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1076189 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 03:12:20 +0000 Elizabeth P 1076189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm speechless. With all your fab outfits, you have nothing to wear? But I can see how your suit would have been great. No suggestions, just wanted to offer moral support. :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-daytime-presentation#post-1076186 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 03:11:28 +0000 Sveta 1076186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You lead the most interesting life for a work from home person! :-)<br />I would take both leather jackets, they can be a great backbone for your outfits. White moto is more casual for the day and taupe is dressie for the evening. Add on top your peacoat and wear booties and you areall covered for this weather conditions.<br />I would break out your sequin navy BR top for the evening. You can pair it with jeans and one of your leather jackets for more casual look or with your black baggy trousers for a dressier one.<br />Now do you feel like wearing a dress or a&nbsp;skirt as well? With your new LC tall boots and sheer hose it may be quite warm for this weather.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />What I would do? I would get out clothing you don't get chance to wear much working from home and I would come up with outfits for those things: it would be a pity to miss such an opportunity!<br />I need to come over and play in your closet!:-) </p>
