Wiw: 4 professional and 1 casual

Hi guys, here are 4 work outfits and one casual at the end. I’m in the process of re thinking my casual style, and today I thought I’d give it a slightly boho (but still structured) vibe. Fun!
I tried to show some of the details/textures in the outfits.
I really appreciate any comments or suggestions thanks for looking.

Jussie, these are all great but I just have to say WOW about the way you look in camel and black!!! What an iconic classic look, like Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn rolled into one pretty package. Classic perfection.

I really like your casual outfit, too, because it repeats the same neutrals with that fab texture!

The layering is interesting in the outfit with cobalt and the necklace is lovely.

Umm, what Suz said! The black with camel outfit is stunning and I like how the earrings tie it together. Also works beautifully in the casual outfit!

I agree with Suz. You look wow in camel and black. The camel coat is fabulous on you too. And camel has a lovely soft vibe to it that suits your style so well. YLF in all.

I concur with the others. Wow, so good. I love the last outfit, too, with the shearling vest and the accessorizing throughout. Your earrings are really lovely.

So, so good. It is the classic colours of the camel, black and cobalt that are superb. Love your hair too - gorgeous colour.

Suz: thank you so very much for the compliments. I am especially intrigued to hear the camel is working, as I haven’t previously identified it as being a neutral that suits me. The cobalt outfit is my fave out of this bunch.
Shevia: thanks so much- I love
statement earrings.
Brooklyn: thanks very much! I will have to wear the camel toppers a little more often :). Yay.
Like the season: thank you! When I bought the shearling vest I wondered how I would wear it, but I think keeping it really simple and pairing it with plain black all over is the best option.
Jane: thanks for your response. I have a bit of a candy eye for cobalt and always feel happy in it

#3, 4, 13 an 14 are my faves. I LOVE the boho vibe WITH STRUCTURE you added to the last casual outfit.

I love these oufits, and I got Hepburn vibes from the camel coat and flats too. I also love the combo of the cobalt top and patterned pants.

Such great outfits all around - love the camel and black on you - so perfect!

Terrific outfits. You totally rock camel! I find that to be such a difficult color, but it looks smashing on you.

Great collection of outfits. I agree that the last outfit is my favorite as well. I like your animal print loafers in #2 and the necklace with the cobalt shirt.

I struggled with my casual style when I first joined YLF too. I took awhile to get to a place where I'm happy with both my work and casual style.

Echoing others that the black-camel combination looks really smashing on you! Love it in the last outfit especially but the second outfit (3-5) has that element too.

Cobalt is a great color on you!

I think that outfit #1 could use a bit more structure. Maybe tuck the shirt and add a belt in an interesting color?

Angie, SarahD8, Sara L, Thistle, Angie, texstyle and Christina F:
Thank you all so much for your feedback. My own favourite was the cobalt, and I also enjoyed the shearling vest outfit. I do love a boho look, but Angie you are so right when you say it works so much better when it has enough structure! I am happy to hear people like the camel items. Also I agree that number one isn't so fabulous. It was ok, but somehow just a bit "meh". Perhaps the grey trousers need a more fitted shirt or top with them? I'm not exactly sure. Maybe they are just bad pants? Hmm i'm undecided, but I do love the light silvery grey colour.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank everyone for their feedback.

Wow, why are you looking for advice when you make such great outfits already?? Kidding (not kidding). I like them all, but agree that 1 could probably be improved by tucking the shirt or choosing a more fitted topper. I love your sherling vest and you’ve styled it perfectly for your figure. Also, apart from 3 I’d wear all of those outfits in a casual setting too...

All of your outfits are looking good! I agree with the others that the camel and black combo is fantastic on you!
