You have a very fun wardrobe. I love that big fat flower. What personality.
Your new consignment animal print jacket is beautiful! I also love the skirt with pleats in the back. You dress with real pizazz! It would be easy for anyone to walk up to you and srike up a conversation with the way you present yourself in a nice and fun manner.

cute outfits!

The animal print jacket is awesome!! All your outfits are great. My faves are the flower & vest combo and the button down under the dress. And your ruffled skirt! So nearly all of them hey!!!

Great outfits, Antje! I love them all. I've been trying to put something together with a white shirt, vest and black blazer, and you really nailed it with the flower! :) Now I'll try to come up with a festive accessory after seeing your pictures.

Antje, these are awesome. You outdo yourself each time you post and that's hard to do given the high bar you start with! Love the big flower, love the dress, the booties, and of course boots are your signature style. Always love the touches of red you have everywhere. I need to find more skirts given the way you wear them. You inspire me!

I adore that flower pin! And that red skirt outfit! And the outfit with the fuscia tunic! And the boots, and the black ruffle skirt... can I please go shopping in your closet? I think the animal print jacket is totally fab on you, too. What a score.

I love the red Club Monaco skirt! And I still really love you in the jumper (dress) over the white button-down. Also I can't believe how cute those oxford booties are - is that a subtle houndstooth print I see? Fab!

Antje, you look smashing. You can definitely pull off the big flower and you do it so well. I still love the dress over button down-- it's very similar to the BR one I have my eye on. And I adore the oxford booties. If they had them in the US I'd snap them up in an instant. You just shine in your new animal print jacket.

Antje, it's so fun to see more of your outfits. I love those oxfords. Awesome!

I think the flower is super. It's very sex in the city. I don't think the short-leggedness you pointed out is really a problem. But I'm wondering if the white shirt was just slightly shorter if it would make a difference.

I also love the express ensemble.

Looking great, Antje.

Oh, I absolutely love the cheetah print jacket! I'm a sucker for cheetah print as well. What a great find! I love the huge flower pin too. I've been admiring those in catalogs and such, but I just couldn't figure out how to wear one. I think you did a great job--I might have to give it another go. Your partner's reaction cracked me up. That would be Brendan all over. :D

I'm really liking the menswear+flower outfit you put together. I can't wait to try something like this once I find a well fitting vest.

Antje, I wore a jumper with a buttondown for Thanksgiving - thanks for the inspiration :)

I love your animal print jacket and the flower outfit!

I love the big red flower! I think that maybe the shirt in that outfit might be making your legs look shorter. You've just given me the inspiration to buy a big flower brooch to put on my new winter coat.

Antje: You are so fab. Classic with twist...always fun, but always appropriate. You have the look so many of us are striving for. I echo the other comments about the flower. I just bought one at Target in tartan. So fun! Please keep posting!

Antje, you look amazing! I love all of your outfits, but the ones that stand out for me the most are the one with the big red flower and the one with the red Club Monaco skirt! I love that skirt, and the animal print jacket, and the dress and over shirt and... I guess I just love everything :)

Oooooh, thank you guys, you are so nice and generous with your compliments! I swear, the only thing more fun than putting a new outfit together is to post it on YLF.
Kyle - I know exactly what tartan pin you bought at Target because I just bought the same one this afternoon! I was looking for a fun accessory to buy for my mom for Xmas, and I saw the tartan pin and of course loved it immediately, and so I bought two - one for my mom and one for me. I have no idea if she'll wear hers, but I sure know I will wear mine (and I know she'll be psyched anyway since she loves it when I buy her something I wear myself ;-)) Target really rocks for fun little accessories, also belts, that don't break the bank.

Antje, your style quotient is HOT. I mean really HOT! Thanks for inspiring us.

I am agreement with everyone. You have such a fun and festive wardrobe which is just as it should be because you ARE fun and festive! But you also add the necessary tailoring and chic which is important. You have the personality to pull off these ensembles which makes it effortless and stylish. LOVE all your outfits!!! The animal print jacket is KILLER. Where did you get it from? As for the booties – you know I’m going to steal them and magically turn them into a size 6.5. They are going to go missing this week.

Lets see more!

Thank you :-) I'm beaming. I got the animal print jacket (which I love love love and even wore around the house yesterday just because it made me happy) at my favorite favorite consignment store, the one I never leave without at least one treasure: Fury (in Madison Valley.) You'll HAVE to go with me one day, it's in your 'hood! The owner told me that they currently get a couple hundred new items every day. They just rock. I got a second super cute jacket there that I plan to wear sometime this week and will be sure to post a picture. I'm thrilled we entered the holiday season and there are more reasons to dress up. Lots of parties and outings on the calendar, and I plan to dress up for each and everyone of them, even the ones with kiddos. 'tis the season...
Oh, back to Fury for one second: they had an awesome DVF wrap dress in red/grey/black animal that I loved. Sadly, it was one size too small for me, and fortunately I had two friends with me who told me that in pretty clear terms. By myself I would have been tempted to overlook all the bulges and wrong lines and bought the dress anyway because it was so chic. That's the problem with consignment stores - there are many wonderful items but all just in one size, and so you have to get past a lot of treasures that are just not meant for you...

I'm late, but wanted to chime in too. I LOVE your signature style! It is so fun and quirky at times, but I love that. I love how you accessorize things, and that you are so fashionably brave. I love your shoe choices too. Those booties are killoer! Bravo for being so unique and inspiring!

Also, I would totally go shopping with you in your favorite consignment store all the time if I lived there! I have yet to get myself to one, and now because of you, I will put that in my things to do this week. :-)

Fury is in walking distance from where I live. I’ve been in a couple of times but no luck so far. BUT! I scored big time at a Boston consignment store with a fabulous designer asymmetrical denim kilt for $42 (Tanya was with me and approved). I’m sure I’ll hit the Fury jackpot at some point too :-)

Love all the fun outfits! My favorites are the animal print (of course), fuchia sweater, Oxford booties!, and dress over the shirt. You look great! The big flower is so fun! Where did you get the boots?

Antje, what terrific outfits! I especially love the dress over button-down and your new animal print jacket. There's really nothing I don't like, though... :-)

Antje, I loved your cheetah print jacket so much! I just couldn't get it off my mind. I have been keeping my eye out for a cheetah jacket too, and I think I found one (it's a bit different style than yours is). Anyway, you look so fab in yours--I just wanted to let you know that you inspired me! :D

I missed this originally. LOVE the flower - so much fun. I don't think anyone would've noticed any disproportion with your legs, because all eyes would be on the flower. Except that even a flower that big can't overpower your fabulous personality!

Love all the outfits. That thrift store jacket is particularly fabulous; can't wait to see more outfits with it.

You always inspire me, for example, right now I'm scratching my head asking myself why I didn't think about wearing a boyfriend cardigan unbuttoned like in pic #1??? I tried on bf cardi's awhile back, but nixed them because once buttoned, they showed too many tummy bulges. Unbuttoned and belted.... that would've worked! Sigh...
