You look SO good in skirts of all types - it's impossible to pick a favorite. </p> <p>I really like your Thursday outfit. The colors, the dress, everything. I can't get enough of this color combo: white and coral dress, denim jacket. It would never occur to me to add black to this mix, and it works great here. </p> <p>I also adore the last outfit. I really like the color blocking effect. And Kitty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits/page/2#post-47629 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 01:31:09 +0000 Maya 47629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>According to Aveda, where I went for a student styling session once, the only people with truly black hair are East Asians. Mine is probably a shade or two lighter, but for all intents and purposes, it's basically black. It would be nice to have SOME dimension to it, but I don't think I could afford the maintenance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits/page/2#post-47627 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 01:28:06 +0000 Dawn 47627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I really can't choose which of your outfits I love the most. The England cardie outfit was so unique, and I love the quirky touch of the graphic cardie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits/page/2#post-47622 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 01:22:10 +0000 Ana 47622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lol, thanks Maya! </p> <p>I hear you on the hair color thing. Is your hair black-black, or is it very very dark brown? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits/page/2#post-47621 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 01:20:37 +0000 Maya 47621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well Ana, on the positive side, no matter what you do, you're going to look great...which probably doesn't help you make a decision AT ALL. But you're very lucky to be able to experiment so much! I pretty much have to live with my given hair color. Anything else would look terrible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits/page/2#post-47620 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 01:20:03 +0000 Ana 47620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That does make sense Angie. I think that's what I was trying to get at actually with brown hair being "fierce" on me, but you said it in a much more succinct and understandable way. I think I will start a new thread and see what people think. I'll try to take a photo in natural light so everyone can get a good idea of what my hair looks like now than when I first posted photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits/page/2#post-47618 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 01:13:28 +0000 Angie 47618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you, Ana. You look really good as a brunette and as a blonde. I understand why the camps are split. </p> <p>While I haven’t met you, I feel as though I know you. You are a soft, kind, thoughtful and genuine person and for that reason I prefer you blonde. Blonde hair achieves a softer aesthetic on you. Does that makes sense? You should start a separate thread on this topic. I’d be very interested to hear the comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits/page/2#post-47612 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 01:03:37 +0000 Ana 47612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I was thinking maybe I just need some golden highlights on top, but not as dramatic as I had before, more subtle. That's a good idea, Maya. Thanks for your (honest) opinion. The visual of riding down the street on a bicycle is so cute! </p> <p>I guess I just feel much "fiercer" as a brunette (that's how Brendan puts it), meaning, very edgy/not as friendly looking. I'm not used to that yet. Also, maybe I don't mean glamorous, I mean dramatic. Dark hair isn't as dramatic on me as blonde is, but it might be more flattering, I'm not sure. But like I said, it's kind of starting to grow on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits/page/2#post-47609 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 01:00:12 +0000 Maya 47609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I'm going to be totally honest and say that while you looked nice as a blonde, I much prefer you as a brunette. It really just made you that much more chic to me. I can totally imagine you riding a bicycle with a basket down the streets of Paris with your dark hair. I find it more glamorous. </p> <p>But if YOU don't feel that way, then it really doesn't matter what I and everyone else thinks. You seem like you preferred being a blonde. Or perhaps you just need to go a shade or two lighter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47604 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 00:50:15 +0000 Ana 47604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, ladies! :D</p> <p>Angie, I actually got the cardi at J. Crew last year (of course, hee hee). I had to buy it because of the England connection. :D</p> <p>I can't decide now if I want to go back to blonde at my next appointment. My hair has gotten lighter, so it isn't as harsh as it was when Bobby first dyed it (he said it would lighten up, which is why he did it so dark to begin with). It has kind of grown on me. But, I have to admit that I just don't feel quite as glamorous with brown hair. I don't know why, because I don't necessarily think of dark hair or light hair as being one way or the other on other people. It's just on me personally that I feel this way. And also, I've gotten a lot of compliments from people saying that I look very "french," or like Audrey Hepburn style with darker hair (which is wonderful, I'm very flattered by that). I'm not sure if the blonde is really flattering on me as much as the brown is either. I've gotten really split reviews--half like dark, half like light. Brendan is neutral and likes both. So, I'm torn, and of course (in true Libra fashion), I can't make up my mind one way or the other. I don't know, what do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47600 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 00:38:26 +0000 Angie 47600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful, Ana. Are you still going to go blonde next hair app? </p> <p>Saturdays outfit is my favourite. You were BORN to wear coral. I love the orange dress with the denim jacket too. Your Winter outfits are my Summer ones. Crazy.</p> <p>Did Brendan bring back that grey cardi? So fab! Such a stylish lass you are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47571 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 23:36:25 +0000 Tanya 47571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, wow and wow Ana! You look so amazing! Your recent posts are all trough the roof ( or into the orbit as Angie says). That England cardi outfit is so cheeky. And I am glad you for the red pencil skirt you wanted. The only thing that I think it's slightly offis the black cardi with that pretty coral blouse, I think it is too heavy for it. I'd keep everything the same but substitute the cardi color with brown, navy or cream. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47563 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 23:23:25 +0000 Ariadne 47563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, you look so beautiful every day! My absolute favourite is the outfit with the England cardi (and I love the suggestion of trying the Milly blouse under that), and I also love the orange dress outfit. I wonder if you could wear the Milly blouse under your denim jacket too, with a pencil skirt in black, grey, navy, cream, or another neutral? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47516 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 19:05:36 +0000 Becky 47516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, you're sizzlin'!! I absolutely can't choose a favorite. Love the way you use the denim jacket to toughen up a girly dress. The only outfit I'm not crazy about is Monday's BF cardi, and I echo GG's comments: "My least favorite is the boyfriend cardigan. It might be because of both top and bottom being dark. I l also think that you have such great curves it needs a belt of some kind. The blouse looks cute as a layering piece but I am not a huge fan of that color pink on you." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47515 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 18:04:55 +0000 Violet 47515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, love all your outfits and will comment in more detail later. Unfortunately, I am swamped with work today. </p> <p>I wanted to try and answer your Photobucket question. Once you log in you should see a list of albums on the left hand-side. Click the "Edit" button and it will bring up another screen. From there, you can set a password individually for each album. You can make each album private or public. Then for the private ones, you can set a guest password. This should be separate from your overall account password. Hope that helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47504 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 16:56:26 +0000 Patience 47504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really, I can only repeat what everyone has said. You look fantastic all week! To me the England cardigan is brilliant, because of the lace "tie" sticking out over it. Also, you don't wear a lot of black so this makes it extra special. Of course, you know I love the white jacket. And you have gotten quite a collection handbags now-- all fab. I'm also not too excited with my boyfriend cardigan these days-- except when I wore it with my AF tunic with only a few buttons buttoned. Have you tried it with a tunic length top and not buttoning every button? Or even over a pencil skirt with the bottom buttons unbuttoned. I guess what I'm suggesting is thinking outside of the standard ways of wearing it.</p> <p>Concerning photobucket, everyone has described making a new album very well-- are you sure you are creating sub-albums (i.e. albums that are inside another album) and linking to that album and not to your highest level album? It should work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47502 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 16:40:18 +0000 Inge 47502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning in skirts and dresses Maya. I'm not even going to try to pick a favourite, because every outfit is so stylish and beautiful.<br /> (Smiling about the English cardi, fun! And I never would have thought to pair that orange/white dress with a black belt and black shoes, but it works!).</p> <p>Regarding the Milly blouse, I'm with San. I think it might look better paired with a lighter colour. Have you tried it yet under the grey England cardigan? Or with the white jacket?</p> <p>I'm still blown away by your AF blouse, it's mouth-watering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47487 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 09:41:47 +0000 yublocka 47487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Ana, i am pretty much stunned with how good your week was! I'm head over heels about the first outfit especially. The shirt cuffs and belt look awesome together!!! And your England cardie is awesome as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47479 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 06:30:04 +0000 Anonymous 47479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I like Sat 1-24. So pretty. What kind of jeans are you wearing in the picture. They look very nice.<br /> You always look great and are an inspiration to pay attention to the details.<br /> As for the question on whether it is working to layer the Millie blouse, yes. I however don't particularly like the heavieness of the long black sweater covering up so much of the feminine blouse. Just my opinion though. I see a cadigan or jacket that is in a more fun, less serious color and shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47474 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 06:05:01 +0000 Amanda 47474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another great week! You've gotten lots of comments on the boyfriend cardigan so I won't repeat. I love the outfit with the gray "England" sweater and the blouse -- that is a piece that I feel like I would like but not know what to do with and your outfit is fun and stylish. You really have a great sense of putting clothes together well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47468 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 05:10:11 +0000 marianne 47468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ana! I'll try playing with auto-adjustments. I've been meaning to post a few "keep or toss" questions, but I haven't been able to figure out reliable lighting to capture the fit detail.</p> <p>As for photobucket, do you mean setting guest password? You can set an album as private and set a guest password for each album I believe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47458 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 04:03:42 +0000 shana 47458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what an incredible week for you! I especially like the dresses &#38; skirts! I really like Monday's look (is that one your AF shirts?) and I love Thursday's dress - every time I see it on you, I want to catch the next flight to TX so that I can steal it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47455 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 03:42:05 +0000 Maya 47455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That makes you bad Ana? Hehe, I did that all the time with my Express skinnies. I even posted about it here and Angie said it was fine. I liked the versatility of having them at different lengths, and really, no one was looking at my pant hems so it didn't bother me. But I can understand it's weird not to have any sort of finishing at the bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47453 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 03:29:49 +0000 Nicole 47453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ana! You look great!</p> <p>I love when I'm going picture to picture and each one is better than the last! I think oh that's my favorite, then I open the next one, and say oh no, that's my favorite--then I go back and look at them all again and decide I can't decide!</p> <p>I love the England sweater (I think it was Tue the 27th). I also like the jeans and argyle sweater. I love you in dreses and skirts, but it seems so rare that I see you in jeans, that it was a special treat!</p> <p>When I post albums in photobucket, I create albums on the left hand side of the photobucket homepage. Then I open the album and cut and paste the url, without clicking on an individual photo. HTH </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47451 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 03:11:03 +0000 Ana 47451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the comments, everyone! :D</p> <p>Maya, thank you for the compliment on the jeans. They are the COH Elson jeans! I love them. Actually, that day I was very bad. I wanted to wear my jeans, but they weren't hemmed yet, so I just turned them under and wore them as if they were hemmed. It worked out okay, but rest assured, they are at the alteration place and should be done tomorrow! I can't wait. The waistband stretched out a bit too, so I had them take it in at the waist after they were stretched so they would stay up better. I definitely want to duplicate them, and also get black and white Ambers and have them altered to be straight legs like the Elsons. They are very comfy and the rise is perfect. </p> <p>Antje, the skirt and dress outfits are my favorite as well. I'm enjoying the weather here now, because I know in a couple of months it's going to start getting hot, and then I will be so sad. </p> <p>Julijuli, I did alter my denim jacket. I had it taken in at the waist. I really like it with skirts, but I feel it's a touch long for dresses. I'm going to duplicate my white jacket, but get it in dark denim instead to wear with dresses. I think it's a cleaner, edgier look. </p> <p>Marianne, I always try to take my photos during the day, facing the sliding glass window to the balcony. That way I get a lot of light. If I do it at night, I turn on the overhead light, and all the lamps around our living/family room (there are 3). Then, I edit them in Picasa. I usually just do auto contrast and auto color adjust, so it does everything for me. Normally it's pretty true to real life, although, maybe colors are not as intense. </p> <p>I'm pleasantly surprised that everyone liked Tuesday's outfit the best. I liked it too, but I thought everyone would like Friday's outfit the best (that was my favorite). Maybe because I felt kind of rock and roll in that outfit, which is a bit outside my box. Tuesday's outfit was inspired by the cold (the England cardi is one of the warmest sweaters I own), and also by what I hadn't worn in my closet yet (Express lace top that I got on sale). So I put them together. I'm glad everyone liked it so much! :)</p> <p>Monday 1/26 is not a good outfit, I agree with everyone. I'm still figuring out BF cardis, and I just felt kind of blah that day. I still haven't given up on the blouse, but I am going to have the sleeves removed, and then try it under my cream v-neck cardigan instead of the black. Also, I'll pair them with a denim pencil skirt instead of black jeans. I think it will be softer and more "me" that way. Stay tuned.</p> <p>I do sort my photos into new albums, but when I posted the album URL here, I would have had to post my account password as well, and then everyone can see all my photos. Not that I have anything embarrassing on it, but I'd rather not just give any old person access to post my photos wherever they want all over the internet, you know? Some of you seem to have gone around that somehow, but I can't figure it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47446 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 02:30:20 +0000 dee 47446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very stylish! I love thursday's dress, and the argyle and england sweater outfits. I wish it would warm up here!!!</p> <p>For the photobucket question - do you make a new album when you upload photos? On the left hand toolbar there's an option for "add a new album". Once you create a name for it, you can click on the name and then upload your images into that album. Then you can copy and paste the album's URL (the box will be under "about this album" on the left). I hope that makes sense! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47424 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 22:37:17 +0000 Elika 47424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! I love, love, love your saturday outfit, especially that bag. It is gorgeous! And so are your other outfits; I'm amazed how you manage to look so polished every single day. </p> <p>As for monday: the outfit is very cute, but I personally think those colours are less flattering on you than some other things you wear. Maybe a different blouse would be better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47412 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 20:57:28 +0000 marianne 47412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, you look so polished! Tuesday is absolutely orbit-inducing, and I also really love Friday. The jacket is so pretty.</p> <p>May I ask how you take your pictures? Your photos seem to capture the color and detail very well, so I was wondering what camera settings you use and what source of light. Maybe you just have a better camera </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47411 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 20:55:46 +0000 tarzy 47411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, you just have this effortless style! You look so good, but not like you're trying too hard. I want to save all your outfits and copy them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ana-january-outfits#post-47407 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 19:46:03 +0000 Anonymous 47407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, what an inspiring week. I want your 1/27 outfit! I especially liked the white belt with white top on Wed. and the way you put your Thurs. outfit together with touches of black and the denim jacket with the girly dress.<br /> Thank you for posting your photos. </p>
