A chaotic week and the outfits that went with it

The last two weeks at work have been so busy that by Friday night, I've just been exhausted and falling asleep on the couch! It's good to be busy, just tiring. I'm hoping next week is a bit on the quieter side.

I have a question on #4 with #8 added for reference: I'm still unsure about me and booties with skirts/dresses. What works best - the black opaque tights in #4 or the sheer black hose in #8?

Outfit details below. Thoughts, comments, suggestions for improvement always welcome! Thanks for looking!

Wow, you sure cant tell you had a hectic week! You look cool, and über fab! I love the booties with opaque tights myself, but every one of these looks is a 10!

That cobalt blazer looks amazing on you.
These are all fantastic looks imo - couldn't improve them if I tried:)

Be careful though I think amiable will steal everything you are wearing in #7.

I love your hair too great cut.

Love #3, #4' and #8 best, and #6 is so laid-back cool! Very successful week. Hair is fab, too.

These are perfection, Christy! I like the way you have styled the cobalt jacket with the skirt and booties. The sheer black hose is really nice with the cream blouse, and likewise with the opaque tights with black shell.

Another fantastic wardrobe week Christy, despite how busy it was. I hope you get a chance now to catch your breath. As for the outfit with the skirt and booties (which you are pulling off beautifully BTW), I like it with both tights - I think it just boils down to your personal preference.

So I'm dying over all of these (especially 3 for me) and you pulled off the booties and skirt in both 4 and 8. Right amount of gap with the booties IMO.
I feel for you on crazy work - hope it's calmer next week for you. You'll still look great, but feel better...

Really you look terrific every day. I really like the black and cognac/browns in #3 and love your sweater in #5. I think either tights work fine, but you should try a nude fishnet too!

I love the slacks with the blazers! Very trendy and fashionable, yet sophisticated

Stellar week, everything is amazing! I think either tights work with the booties; I have a slight preference for the sheer.

My favorite is your casual #7---you look so darn cool!

Wow you do professional business and funky casual so well. I'm not to good on the whole booties with skirt look but I like the lower contrast of the sheer tights in #8. Having said that I kind of like when people wear booties with wildly coloured thick tights and booties - so I may not be a reliable source.

Wow - you look fabulous, Christy. No one would ever know you were feeling exhausted.

I like every one of these outfits! The cobalt jacket is amazing on you, and it's so fun to see your casual looks as well. I adore #6!!

I think both types of hose work with your booties. It just depends on what look you are going for. For me it is partly a matter of the season, too, and what I have on top. The opaque just look better when it is cooler/ darker to me.

Among your work outfits #1 and #3 are my favorites. The fit of the trousers in #1 looks so elegant. And you look very off-duty Hollywood talent agent in your weekend outfit with the sweater, leather jacket, aviators and hat!

I like both kinds of stockings (4 and 8) but have a slight preference for the sheer look (8).

You have great style! I love your haircut, it gave me some ideas for my own hair. I think you wear both black and sheer hose with panache, and it is really up to you. My favorites are #1 and #4! I hope next week will be less hectic for you, but you do absolutely look like you're on top of it all.

Outfit nos. 1,4 and 8 are my favourite! The Gray/black blazer and the blue blazer are really nice and add a touch of glamour to the outfits.

They all look like a happy week's worth. Usually I would go for the opaques but the sheers give it an overall 'lighter' look compared to the others. Cheers

You closet works so well for you that a crazy week doesn't lower your fag quotient by a decimal! Love the casual sweater -- and the boots are patrticularly stunning.

As for the booties/hose. I think your instincts are spot on here. I like the sheers with the lighter look creating with the blouse in #8, and the opaques with the darker, more wintry look creating with the black base in #4.

Most of the time hairstyles that are "business apprpriate" are a little - um "safe." Yours looks amazing!

Wow, stunning, everyday! I love the booties with your skirt with maybe a slight preference for the tights in 4 but both look fab. I think booties with dresses and skirts just takes a little time to adjust to, but so much more modern and chic than other options, don't you think?

Christy, you know, you always look chic These work looks look a little different from normal to me, although I can't put my finger on why? Maybe just more tops and bottoms that match? Regarding the tights, I have a slight preference for the more opaque version, but both certainly work.

ETA: big heart for that sweater in 5 on you.

Great week of WIW's, Christy! Hope you can get some rest and that next week is less hectic. I love all your outfits, esp 4 & 5. Love the skirt and booties--4 and 8 both look great but I have a slight preference for the opaque hose, mainly because I usually either wear opaque hose or go bare-legged myself.

Good grief, these are all super fantastic! As for 4 and 8, I'm no help because I love the tights with the black top and the sheer hose with the white top, so I think you nailed both looks!
