The longer locks look stellar, Rachy! You don't look like you are battling with frizz at all

I adore #4 and #5. A great benchmark for your style. Structured yet relaxed. Throw is crazy pants or skirt from time to time and this is a great look for you.

I think you do "Granny Chic" really well too (don't mean to be disrespectful to Grannys but the term is much used in fashion). So #1 is a winner to my eye.

The last outfit could do with a non-hoodie topper, and I'd leave off the socks in #2. I know you get cold so how about some fun knee-highs?

Ja, Angie. You are right. The socks have to go. I have to do a purge of the sock drawer. I will re-think the wrap dress, if you think #1 is ok. I think I was the same weight when I got the dress... all my clothes seem to expand over time. Not get stretched out, just expand. I really am battling frizz, but I do only see it in the bathroom mirror under the florescents. I look a lot better to myself in the elevator mirrors, lol! Actually 4&5 look better in those mirrors too. I think the Target blazer could use replacing though. The material is very casual and the construction is on the baggy side.

Good questions, Ornella. My answers...

- Are you dressed suitably for the job you do? --> Yes
- Is it within the dress code of your workplace? --> Yes
- Do you feel happy and comfortable with your outfits? -->Yes
- Do you ultimately feel YOU in what you wear? -->Yes

If the answer to these is sound YES, especially the last one, the biggest issue is resolved. Do you want to fit in with sleek, plastcky environment, and why? Would you feel better if you blended in, and why?... <-- The thing is, I love my outfits on my home territory. I think my outfits these days are really me because I am really on my home territory again - where I was born and raised. Because I do indeed have this thing, and I'm afraid it really is because I've got a family of architects, about design. Design to the last drop. I've got this impulse, not to blend in, but to be one with the gestalt. Maybe I should treat it as the devil whispering in my ear, because the lord knows, a lot of design is "the emperor's new clothes." Ugly and uncomfortable. If the brain weren't distracted, the eyes would see things as they really are. For example, a concrete block is not a comfy sofa...

To be quite honest, it's why the revolutionaries always go after the intellectuals. My preppy training also fights my RATE instincts.

You crack me up, Rachy.

And I fixed my typos - sorry

Trust me your hair looks terrific!

I actually prefer the last look with the hoodie as the clothes fit you well. The colour is good near to your face as opposed to the burgundy top which seems to rob your complexion of colour.

Number one look I feel makes you look older than you need to ...you have an amazing figure and this dress does nothing to flatter you at all. It might look a bit better with a wide belt on your waist and a different coloured under garment and shortened but that is an awful lot of trouble to go to make it look better.

I feel the blazer would look better with a plain coloured blouse in a bright colour that suits your complexion.

It just looks to me like you could use a hair thinning cut to make your hair look wonderful. YOu have such thick , glossy hair, it just needs taming and I don't think applying heat would help if its anything like mine.
