Really lovely Sveta! It always amazes me how putting in extra effort to dress when down can elevate my mood. I love the wide leg trousers on you, though I think I want to see pointier footwear with #2 (or even almond toed, like the boots in #1). Your new coat is amazing looking!

Oh, Sveta-- your life is so out of balance right now. I have the same thing at certain times of the year but not as often as you, I think. Do you have a day off on the horizon?
Your outfits, as always, are wonderful. Your stressful work schedule hasn't affected your ability to make fantastic wardrobe choices. I love the mancoat witn the purple scarf--fun!

So sorry you are having a rough time of it at work, Sveta. And at this time of year it can be especially tiring and hard. Not enough light.
But you look fantastic, as always, and what a treat to see the new coat in action. It is beautiful on you! I also love the Only Mine.

Sveta - I hope your workload lightens up soon and you can catch your breath. Take care of yourself.
I'm so glad you got and kept the Danier coat. It is stunning on you! And each of these outfits show true Sveta style - just lovely.

The first outfit is slaying me! Love it and all of these and the coat is just pure awesome. I need to be taller!

Sveta replied 10 years ago
Thank you, Deb and Peri.
Aida, these black booties are a bit almondish IRL. Unfortunately it is hard for me to find pointy or even almond toes which are comfortable for my wide toe box :-(
Windchime, this craziness at work is in its second year now. We got a new client last year which is big and demanding and they drive us really hard for the whole year. I hope it will ease in January because I am really at the end of my endurance (and believe me, I can endure quite a lot).

I always love your WIW - you are so stylish :)
The coat is so perfect for you I'm really glad you are getting there with it.

Aida replied 10 years ago
I hear you on the wide toe box, it does make pointy/almond toed shoes so difficult. Too bad that is my favorite toe shape -_-
-
Sveta replied 10 years ago
You are right, Suz: not enough light (because of the season)+not enough sleep (because of work) is a killer! But I knew you would love to see "your" coat!;-)
Shevia, me too - cannot get enough of this black and white combo!
Thank you all for compliments and for compassion!

I think my favorite is the animal print booties with the red skirt. I have boot envy and love animal print with red.
Hope it eases off at work soon.

It's a treat to find one of your posts. I love both wide leg pant outfits and you look so glamorous in your black coat.

I really like your hair fringe on 1, and love the elegance of 4 with the great coat and lovely scarf, and, that lipstick color looks lovely on you. Thank you for taking the time to post.

Day Vies replied 10 years ago
I am just echoing what everyone else has already said. There is definitely power in dressing for yourself -- you do it so beautifully. (#1 is particularly memorable) I just encourage you to remember to put yourself at the very top of your to-do list. If that means taking an extra 5-10 minutes to plan something fabulous to wear (as in #3 &4 -- that red skirt just fires up the whole look, pun intended) then so be it. With out you, and the essence that makes you excited to get out of bed in the morning there is no "your life". Be well. (Be Killer as always ;-))

So photogenic! I'm with whoever said that lipstick is putting in work for you! My fave is #1 although I think I'd prefer black footwear with that outfit and swap the brown booties in outfit #2.

Lisa replied 10 years ago
I was in your position over the summer. I lost half the summer because I worked 6 or 7 days a week for half of it. It was a real challenge to get ANYTHING done outside of work. Hopefully you won't have this pace for too long. I think one of the best ways to cheer up when working lots of hours is to sport really bright and fun outfits. At least when you look at yourself in the bathroom mirror you can smile about your outfit. It's nice to see the polka dot top come out to play in #1. As you are in #2, I am also reaching for bootcuts regularly right now until we get wet weather. And #3 is heading into bright and fun color and pattern mixing, the perfect antidote for busy working schedules.

Your style overshadows the stress and all these outfits look great Sveta. But I will say that you MUST take it easy. Even with vacation time, long and stressful work hours on a regular basis take their toll. Please put your health and well being as the #1 priority. We miss you when you're not posting.

Catnip replied 10 years ago
Paying extra attention to how you look is a big mood booster. Have you noticed how you progressed from not smiling at all in picture #1 to a beautiful smile in picture #5?
I love all your outfits, and especially like your beautiful black coat. Hopefully the situation at work will improve.

Well, if you have been disinterested in life you sure can't tell from your outfits, exceptional as always, every single one! Sometimes a little break from the routine is definitely a needed step to recharge. I hope work lightens up a little more so that you have the energy to show us the great outfits you create. Such a treat and so inspirational,

Amy replied 10 years ago
I'm glad you're being proactive about reclaiming a bit of yourself during this difficult time at work. That's so important (and so hard to do sometimes). You look great in all of these, but as a polka dot fan, I must say #1 is my favorite.

Sveta replied 10 years ago
Thank you all for you kind comments and therapy. It was a very gruelling year for me: hopefully it will get back to normal in the next year.
Catnip, pic 1 was taken on Monday night after another 10h day so it is surprising I am still holding together there at all: I felt really bad that night and I think I looked it too :-(
Liz, I don't care for black fotwear with those taupe trousers in #1: at least not those only black booties I have now. If I ever find a more refined pair it may be a different thing.
Lisa, I am sad to hear about your summer - I hope it is beter now.
I am so glad I have you, guys!

Sveta, I'm so sorry to hear that work has been so overwhelming lately. It hasn't stopped you for having your usual fabulous style, though.
It really is essential to take a little time for yourself, whether it's taking outfit pictures or having a nice warm bubble bath.
I hope things quiet down for you soon so you can regain some balance in your life.
Hugs,
Marcy

Hugs, and you crack me up. You are a fun person Sveta, although I do empathize with your hectic schedule. I hope things slow down so that you can breathe.
You look more than alive. You have killer style no matter what. Your verve and grace is innate.
And I have missed you on YLF. Thanks for the very sweet comment on my post this morning. I'm humbled. xo
