2 WIW to work

A quick outfit post.

1. This is somewhat different for me. Target cardi, some old cami, Olivia Moon ruched skirt, Luxury Rebel loafers. This skirt is pilled and unraveling so on its last legs.

2. Sack dress from Gap - this felt a little short without tights but the volume and sleeves helped. Manny, this is my sack dress! I am fairly certain some people at work were thinking "Why are you wearing that ill-fitting garment?"

Nr 1 is very different, I have even rose my brows:-) BUT as gorgeous as EVER! Love you in lighter colors, esp. in greys- suspect the hair shade elevates it even more IRL! Wow!! Nr 2 is also super! Damn it with those who think it's ill fitting!:-))

Una, #1 is fabulous. Love it on you. I find those tones work beautifully with your natural hair colour

And #2, I have to love it. I have the same dress (tho not GAP) in black. And I am pretty sure my colleagues think the same thing lol. That is most definitely a sack dress... You look gorgeous.

I truly love outfit 1. Amazing look for you. The cardigan pulls it together and is great. I hope you can find a good replacement for the skirt because it's a good look.

Ignore the feedback from coworkers about look 2. I think there are a lot of people in this world who do not understand a sack/cocoon dress. Your comfort and total edginess take front seat. It's a fab look and they know nothing about fashion.

I really love the cardigan in no 1 and the tonal look of the outfit. I think No 2 is great. I love sack dresses too.

Wow - Una that Gap dress looks so much better on you than it did on me. I B/R the black and black/gray stripe. I love oversized but I could have fit a vw bug underneath and it didn't drape nicely. It looks great on you!! Congrats. It was a great price point and concept.

They both look great to me. Nothing wrong with a good sack dress!

Both looks are fabulous! I'm not sure I've seen you wear lighter greys much, but I'm liking it. Shame about the skirt being at the end of it's life. You rock a sack dress too!

Two great outfits!

We're Gap sack dress twins. I actually have all three solid colours, I liked it that much. I went for the petite sizing and wear it over slim bottoms. Looks great on you as a dress! Makes me want to pick up the longer length to do that too but summer shopping has just got to end sometime!

Ha! I guess I'm one of those people who don't understand a good sack dress. I bought this same one in grey from the Gap (took it home without trying it on , as usual) and when I DID try it on, I could not get it off fast enough. I laughed at myself in the mirror, that's how bad it looked on me. You look cute in yours! Not my jam, as the saying goes. And why aren't you wearing more pale greys etc as you are in the first outfit?? That outfit and those colours are excellent on you!

I really like the cardigan in #1. I think the dress looks like it fits since the sleeves are tight on your arms. If those were loose as well, I would start thinking you were wearing something way too big on you.

LisaP, funny! I certainly get that the sack dress is not everyone's cuppa on themselves or others... I, on the other hand, am all about it when getting dressed in the dark at 5 am.

The first outfit was a kind of test run with paler colors - I am not sure I enjoy wearing them yet, but they are starting to look better as my hair color changes. The cardi has a sort of "ripped off EF" style that attracted me with the ombre, and at a Target price it was worth trying. Glad you all think it works so far!

Kerry, I didn't know there were petites! The grey felt too casual and the black too, well, black. But I wish they had other colors like the blue because I would buy them all too!

I like both looks. I prefer #1, but I think it's because of the colors, so striking on you. And I like that layered look.

I love both looks. The color palette in the first look is divine. DH makes those comments regarding that style dress on me.. they really are so comfortable and fun in my opinion. BTW, not too short without the tights.

I love #1 and can't believe you got that cardi at Target. Great new colors for you. Wear that sack dress with pride! You have the shoulder line to carry it off.

Love your sack dress. It fits you beautifully.
I also like #1 but #2 really caught my attention.

I love me a good sack dress too I really like your #1, it's you in lighter colours (or no colour, I suppose).

I love #1. 2 is good too.

#1 is nice but #2 is awesome on you! I took a chance on grey one, ordered it on sale. Love it. But seeing you in blue dress made me realize that I need this one as well I plan to wear it over pants, though.

Ohhh how lovely are those soft grays on you in #1! Particularly good with the mixed hair color, and bits of darkness in the cardigan. And you totally rock a sack dress. Nice job going with the blue

THose greys are amazing on you with your changing hair, Una! Love!

And I love the sack dress on you. Hard to pull off for many people, but you nail it.

Great looks, Una! I especially love #1...the target cardi doesn't look like a Target cardi but more like a designer cardi:) I just love hoe your hair compliments everything..very chic!

Hey Una! I love#1! It's different....but it's sooooo fabulous! Soft greys are gorgeous on you!

Two fab outfits Una, it's so great to see you! I love how the first one matches your hair, but the second one is simply and totally you. I can't put my finger on what it is that works to my eye, but I think of this style as 100% Una-esque.
