Rain or Whatever - YouLookFab Forum

I thought I heard rain this morning, and I worried it would return by the time I left work, so I threw the new trench on over my dress and leather jacket. My makeup looks completely washed out in this light, but I was sadly unable to take another. Hoping I looked better in real life!

Big thanks to the forum for helping me choose nearly every item in this ensemble. Thanks to you, the trench's sleeves are slimmed, the dress is wearable to work, and the leather jacket is out of the holding zone. I received lovely compliments on both my dress and my boots today.

I have that exact same dress and I've never worn it! I'm now going to pair it with my black moto. You are a great inspiration. Love the addition of the belt and boots too! The trench looks amazing with you alterations, just love it.

Wow Rae, love it. the tough/ feminine combo is fab!

Love it -- I wish that dress was still available because that is something I would wear all the time! I love it with the Marcies and the moto.

You are in a new style groove Rae and it's looking fabulous I like the shapes, proportions and colour mix in this outfit a lot.

I agree that you are in a new style groove and I really like it a lot. A great mix of feminine/tough with a ton of natural beauty.

You look just amazing! So glad the jacket came out of the holding zone. It looks superb with the dress and boots. Also so glad you can wear your boots again.

How is work going? Are you enjoying it? Learning alot? Finding your groove, so to speak?

Looks really good!

This looks amazing and your make-up does not look washed out! I'm so glad you have these lovely pieces and that YLF helped you choose/tailor them. And hooray for compliments. I hope work is going really well for you.

I think that dress was an incredible buy, Rae. It's just a no fail. The heeled DMs are superb. I may breakdown and get a pair one day.

Love the dress and boots but what's really caught my eye is that trench. O-M-G! I think it was worth all the heartache, it looks amazing.

No rain here yet, it's coming tonight.

Uber groovy!

Cute, approachable, and just the right amount of tough

Just so you know, if I was shopping in your department, I would buy whatever you suggested to me. You look so stylish and cool.

Smashing, as usual, Rae! YLF!

I love this pairing especially with the silver bag. This is surprising especially since I love color so much because your outfit is all neutrals. Amazing that pattern, shine and texture can make you forget all about color. Genius!
