WIWs from my very casual work environment

Seeing others WIW's are so educational and inspiring, so here are three of mine. Context: back at work after maternity leave, work in a very casual environment but want to up my polish and dressiness. Have to wear comfortable clothes due to a lot of running around, and the weather is getting COLD so I need to stay covered. (This room and lighting is sooo drab btw).

#1: Felt fab in this. Esp love the elongated leg line (thanks Angie).

#2: No. Something went horribly wrong here. I thought I was being trendy in my new scarf, but the styling is just wrong. The hair, the shoes, ugh, everything is just. No.

#3: 7:00-am-pose aside, felt OK in this. I like the texture of the sweater, and the colour is current now, no? I am so bored with skinny jeans, but sadly this silhouette is the only option I own that fit AND cover my legs atm. Love the sneakers, they are soo comfy (inspired by Angie again).

I appreciate you looking, and comments and suggestions are welcome.

I like the red and leopard combo a lot so I have to beg to disagree with your analysis of that outfit.

Runcarla

I like #2 as well. Red and leapord together is classic. Maybe play with the scarf a bit to find the best way to knot it. There are lots of online examples/tutorials.

Kathie

The top in #1 is a fabulous color for you. Agree with Carla about the scarf in 2- I think this has potential- maybe try tying the scarf so the volume is a bit more contained. And 3 looks put together and comfortable- nice texture in the top.

I like them all. Your silhouette really suits you, and I do like the leopard and red together.

I don't think there's technically anything wrong with #2, but maybe it's just not your style. It is a departure from the other two, which are more minimal but still fun with the color and sportiness.

Joy

I like them all too. Maybe wearing the scarf long was too fussy for work. Try wrapping it more to make it shorter and tying or tucking it securely so it will not come undone while you are working.

I like the red and leopard, the only issue i see is the scarf isn't hanging evenly. What bothered you specifically about it? I like your orange and mustard sweaters too, the first outfit is Angie-ish.

I think your looks are great! I agree with Joy about the scarf. I think that outfit is a keeper and it wasn’t awful, I just think a different way to tie the scarf would make it even better. LOVE the sweater in #1!

Sisi

Nr. 1 is fabulous, nr. 3 is very nice, and I do not see anything wrong with nr.2, except that I would also tye the scarf another way, or replace it with a small neckerchief. Or Like the Season is right, it is just not your style.

Digging the white jeans look. Fab for Fall.

I like each of these outfits. In fact, my favorite is number 2! I like the more “ladylike” shoes, the dark pants, and the strong contrast between the sweater and the scarf. But I can see it has a very different feel to it than your other 2 outfits. Wonder if you’d like it more if you just swapped the red sweater out and wore either of the other two sweaters pictured instead?

Synne

Thank you for the replies! I always learn a lot from this forum. My main problem with outfit #2 is the (lack of) styling. And I just didn't feel happy in it. Will def change things up and try wearing the garments separately in other outfits.

The red plus leopard combo is fab, as are your white jeans!
