Ooh, I love the color combos! The pink and gray together look amazing.

Thank you all for such wonderful positive feedback as always, it makes my day.
Added Tuesday outfit in original post.

Echoing the pervious posters - very nice! I especially love your hair and the new skirt is smashing!

These are great--you can hang with the big boys without becoming one of them. Both outfits have an element of strong color that I think works really well for you.

Yay! The new skirt!
I can’t tell you how much I like this outfit. The blazer is great and it looks amazing with the new fun skirt. The sleek boots beautifully complement the silhouette, the cream bag picks up the cream in the sweater nicely and the scarf ties the whole outfit together. Great job - feminine, professional, interesting. Oh my, I want that skirt!

Oh, the new skirt is fab. Live how this looks. Professional and put together

Wow, I eat my words (from the skirt thread), that skirt is very professional! I love this outfit, looks fab on you.

WOOOHOOOO. Go Team Wear with the new skirt.

Anchie, outfit #2 is absolutely KILLER FAB for work. The scarf is sublime with your hair!

Thank you all, hope you will not get bored or run out of compliments by the end of the week

The new skirt looks terrific! Hope it's fun to wear, too.

Both these outfits are beautiful on you!! Really lovely.

Re Tuesday's outfit: The red blazer is gorgeous with your silver hair.

you look so good in reds and pinks. it;s a natural choice to dress to integrate/embed in the general culture. probably less stressful than choosing to deviate, especially if it fits your style authentically.

Love the trumpet skirt,it’s a really feminine shape and looks great on you.

It looks like the new skirt fit in seamlessly with your existing wardrobe. I think the shape is fab!

I'm so glad you kept the trumpet skirt; it looks absolutely lovely on you!

You look lovely, feminine, polished and powerful in both of these. I particularly like you in pink - that cashmere needs to come to my closet, and the scarf is gorgeous. Thanks for the background context - always interesting.

Anchie - both outfits look wonderful. Professional, confident, elegant, polished. Your boots are gorgeous. I also am in my professional clothes pretty much until bed and I agree they have to look great but be comfortable. Most important shoes. Kudos to you to find boots that work with your orthotics. I also wear orthotics and it's a learning curve. I can see why you love that blazer, it loves you right back. Nothing wrong with duplicating perfection! Enjoy your fantastic outfits!!

I thought #1 was a great outfit but #2 tops it.

It is so nice to wake up and read all your lovely comments - I am very thankful for your continuous support.
Adding Wednesday outfit at the top.

Wednesday - another SUPERB work outfit. Very professional and interesting. I love the subtle pattern mix. The shirt is spot on and you have a beautiful collection of blazers and pencil skirts. Keep them coming!

Bumping for Thursday’s outfit.

All outfits are fabulous - professional, polished and very elegant. You're achieving your style goals with no effort and it's really inspirational to look at your week of outfits. My favorite is Thursday - the skirt looks fresh and springy and the pairing with black sweater and boots grounds it well for the last February days. Next favorite is Tuesday - the new skirt. I like how this skirt fits on you - elegant and feminine, without being frivolous. And it's a nice variation from the classic pencil shape for a skirt wearer like you.

Thursday outfit is gorgeous, again. The colours of the skirt are so delicious, I am glad you kept it then. Nice with the yellow handbag. Polished, professional and interesting. As far as not being one of the boys as it gets. You look beautiful!

Dreika - thank you, I also like new skirts a lot and would like to move from pencil skirts and embrace other shapes.
Katerina - thanks, i think I will wear this skirt a lot this spring.
FashIntern - I have a color, problem was not wearing dark neutrals with the color Re necklace - I have to wear my id card all the time, and I am wearing it on pearl necklace - allergic to nickel, so any other necklace will be too much. See pict.

I really like the red skirt combo and I think that your plans for a spring colour palette will look lovely.You do colour so well.

Reevaluating. I see what you mean. The color grabs the attention, but it is supported by dark neutrals, including your brand new trumpet skirt. Maybe your personal challenge for next week should be to wear a light neutral everyday, or no neutrals at all, if you can swing that.

I really love the long pleated skirt for Thursday. It matches your hair, not the color, but the long lines of the pleats and the long lines of your hair. And it's nice to see the spring colors.

It is such a joy to see your use of color all week! So glad you pulled out the pleated skirt! You look polished, but comfortable for a long day. And, a big “yes” for your spring/summer color palette!
