WIW - Casual and Work looks - YouLookFab Forum

Getting back in the swing of things for regular posting and putting it all out there.
1. Monday Work. Pleoine print top, Talbots jacket, black stone pendant necklace (practically free), Gap Real Straight pants, black Me Too patent heeled loafers (felt the black jacket needed some anchoring)
2-3 1st Grade Field Trip to Farm Chaperone: Paige Skinnies, AT tee, Jones NY Vest, LE Canvas Red hooded raincoat, DAV rainboots (too muddy for precious white Hunters) Great day and boots a necessity
4. Team Wear Consignment skirt (5 is closeup of minty animal print) gotten for "free" with credits, Pleoine blouse (backward to show bow), Esprit perforated belt, Olive Moon Blazer, nude hose (legs beat up at farm ugh) and Me Too patent kitten heels. (sunnies LE Canvas wayfarer knockoffs)
6. My casual (to get mulch at Home Depot) JCrew perfect tee, Esprit belt, Cole Haan air ballet flats, another consignment "freebie" 7FAMK BF jeans - I rolled, but they are clam length unrolled. (sunnies Boden) Ok?
As always comments and critiques are welcome. I'm trying to improve my exposure and adding sunglasses ala Bella and Jonesy (because they are so cool)

Ooh that is one fun print on that skirt- LOVE it! These are great, but the casual look in #6 is my favorite- you look pulled together in an effortless way.

Jeanne, first of all, you must have the longest leg line on God's green earth! That must be fun to work with! You look amazing in the Real Straights and I love the loafers (oh, I just saw that they have a heel, which might make your legs look longer). Love, love love you in the jeans and boots. Someday I hope to be able to sport this look. *sigh* That's a great mint animal print--who'd a thunk? Both of your consignment freebies are awesome! You look pretty amazing for picking up fertilizer, I'd say! We need a close-up of those cool shades.

I see you have several Me Too's. I usually can't wear them because the elastic sides cram my toes into the toe box, but I found a pair that doesn't have the elastic so now I am enjoying the stellar comfort everyone raves about!

Guess what? I love mulching outfit, it is my favorite of the set but they are all really great.
I love the consignment skirt. The only item I am not too keen on is the trousers in #1 but I know that pant color is very hard to photograph.

I actually really like the field trip outfit - so good to wear a bright coat (I always like a bright top or coat with kids - I would remind them to look for me in my red coat in case you get separated) and the mulch-wear. Both great examples of put together casual looks.

Your consignment finds are so fun - the skirt is sweet print!

I love #2 and 3 with the rain boots and red coat. You must have been the chicest chaperone out there! Fun pattern on #5. #6 is very similar to my weekend outfits (which I always forget to photograph).

All just really great, Jeanne! From careerwear to traipsing around in the mud - you are stylish from head to toe.

Great cropped pants length in #6!

Lisa

You look great in that shade of red. And I like the length of your jean capris too. Lovely!

Terrific week, Jeanne! I applaud your field trip style! These are always hard to dress for -- to look put-together but nonchalant and ready for anything! You should be an example of the perfect "field trip capsule."

These are all great! I particularly like #4. Colors of that skirt are beautiful and the shape of the skirt is so feminine. I think you have such a great feel for works for every occasion.

All are great, especially nr. 4 and nothing can beat your long legs look in those boots!:-)
(understand about anchorring the black blazer with the black shoe in nr. 1 but to my eyes a tan or two tone black and white shoe will do better)

One wardrobe to be jealous of!!!! Lovely outfits.

Gosh, I had to hunt this one down. I saw kitty a few days ago and was captivated by his/her and your fab style! LOVE the capri outfit in 6--ppl, tucked and belted. You are my hero! Love the red safari jacket over the black skinnies and the sweet mint skirt with the sweater. I can't believe the blouse is backwards--perhaps I misunderstand. Fab casual style! Love them all. Kitty is adorable. Can we get an encore one of these days--perhaps of his better side? LOL!

Add me to the fan club for #6. Great casual look with just the right proportions.

Thank you all -
Kellygirl you are funny. Kiki (she) is very camera shy but she was somehow curious about something near me this day. I'll try to get her good side next time. Yes that blouse ties in back which is ok if nothing on top, but with a jacket the tail hangs out so I flip it.

I'm so excited these new (to me) jeans are PPL!! Finally I did it! (and they were marked down to $25, but I had $140 in credit so I still have credit to spend!!) I was unsure about the minty animal print at first but it was almost free too and I liked it for the day - note to self (and MO) no adjusting throughout the day even though I would have purchased next size up if it were in a real store.
