yublocka: recent outfits - YouLookFab Forum

I am loving the new look of the site, but having difficulty keeping up with threads without being able to use google reader. Sorry if I have missed something!! Hanna I didn't see your challenge threads until Thurs so I am sorry to have missed out on this one - next time!!!!

Here's some pics I've taken recently and not yet posted, a mix of casual and work outfits.

1) & 2) From work to dinner

Throwing on a jacket, scarf and a change of shoes changed up the look of this outfit for me and kept me warm eating outside at the pub.

3) & 4) Saturday outfits

Two casual Saturday outfits. The weather was not quite hot, not quite cold.

5) Nas items

Featuring the plaid jacket and Star Ling boots (grey). Please excuse the sour expression on my face!! I've decided these black "skinnies" are too big and baggy, and just do not work as skinnies anymore. I need a new pair!

6) Boden fun skirt

Love this skirt, but am now thinking I should have gone for the long version. DO you think it's too short?? I've already worn it now, so cannot exchange

7) Boden tunic & NAS boots

Another Boden item that I really like! I think these dark denim skinnies look much better with the Star Ling boots than the baggy black ones did. It did feel a bit weird wearing them to work though - but that's what casual Fridays are for right???

All opinions and feedback kindly welcomed!!

I love love love the first outfits. Those red pants are stellar!

I am amazed at how you can completely change your look. Hair up, down, specks,pearls, rocker-ish....love them all:)

No ,I don't think that skirt is too short...it is super cute:)

The 1 and 2 outfit, I am not a fan of color bottoms because it's really hard to match with them. I personally think the red pant can be a red top instead. I love love love the converse look... I feel like buying a pair now! =D

The 3 and 4, is it leggings? The 3rd one is a really nice outfit but it will look amazing if you can substitute the legging with tight. The 4th one could be a wow! The sandals kills the outfit =O... Maybe substitute it with flat? I love love the green on you and the polkat shirt/dress look amazing on you.

5, the bagginess of the jeans kills it a bit. The outfit makes you look hot! I like it =)

6, I think you will look amazing in a tighter skirt with the boots... And I don't mean the skin tight one. xD The skirt is a bit too summery to the rest of the outfit, maybe tone it down with a neutral color.

7. Is it a dress pair with pants? I feel like there's too much going on in this outfit but I have to admit, you look great in skinny jeans! ^_^

Here an opinion from a College student. ^_^

Tanya

Tam, you look amazing! I like all of your outfits! I am so jealous of the red plaid NAS jacket, I have ordered it too but they got sold out of it in my size. I guess I shall vicariously through you.

The Boden skirt is the right length, I tink the longer one would be too long. And I adore that Boden tunic, I used to have it on my wish list too.

marianne

Hi Tam, great outfits as usual. I love both versions of the first outfit! So simple and strong. And I also really like the polka-dot dress. And the NAS jacket looks amazing on you!
I see you're putting the NAS boots to good use

Tam, you score KILLER for the week. Your style rocks. It's just so individualistic and fun – with a pretty face to match!

Saturday’s outfit (de- constructed black on black) is AMAZING. Very avant-garde.

LOVE the boots, boot twin. Mine came out to play for the first time last week.Yay! Very happy feet.

Oh, I love the polka dot dress, the boden skirt and the plaid jacket. You have a beautiful style and I'm never quite sure what type of look you will post next. You are inspiring.

Maya

I am SO envious of your plaid jacket and the entire outfit that goes with it Tam! Definitely a favorite. I think the skirt is just right on you, and I *adore* your red pants. The fact that it is winter where you are is sort of a breath of fresh air after seeing summery wardrobes for so long.

Tam.
I love it all, I feel like we share a similar look but with completely different coloring. I love how you can wear such bold patterns. You look great in everything but I am always a huge fan of you in red, also black and white.
My skinnies feel too big also but I do not think yours look at all wrong with those really cute boots!

Wow everyone thanks for all the kind comments. I am relieved to hear the consensus on the Boden skirt is that the length is ok. Would have made me very sad to hear otherwise!! I have gotten lots of positive comments both times I've worn it so far!

Bella I really love the red pants as well, although I need to be very careful with what I pair them with. They were $15 at H+M in San Francisco - I wish there was H+M in Australia!!!!!

Taylor thanks for the comments on my hair! I am wearing it up alot now simply because it is getting too long and the ends are too nasty to comb most of the time. I really need to get it cut soon!!

GoXtina thanks for your thoughtful comments! I agree the thongs kinda killed the rest of the outfit (Angie I am learning from you as I never would have admitted that a year ago!). I was just at the local shopping centre though, so I didn't feel too sloppy.

Tanya I'm sad to hear that you didn't get the plaid jacket too - I remember you liking it. Since it sold out so fast online you were the one who gave me the idea to ask about stock in stores. Still you have that gorgeous teal jacket to make it for it! Tanya did you see the Boden tunic was on massive sale? That was an impulse buy at the same time as the skirt - now I have alot of other Boden items that I'm stalking in the hope they go on sale too!

Marianne yes I am loving these boots - so comfy! I am glad Angie gave us the tip about sizing up. I got the size 11s fearing they'd be too big but they are perfect. How are yours doing?

Angie I am thrilled to get a killer from you! But I must confess the Saturday look isn't as black as the photo makes out....the cardie is dark purple and the skirt is dark denim. This is my only denim skirt, so I'd like to look for a pencil one too! I can't thank you enough for the tip on the boots - they are so fun and comfy to wear.

R+J what a lovely compliment - thanks!

Maya I am loving our weather right now, but it is really starting to warm up. I won't be wearing boots much longer I'm afraid. I'll be enviously looking at all your winter outfits soon. Winter clothes are much more fun, aren't they?

Jean that is such a compliment to say we share the same look - because I love your style!!! I think we both go for the boho crossed with "tough" look quite a lot, although you are a lot more artistic than me!! Your looks always inspire me!

I LOVE outfit No. 5. That plaid jacket rocks! Super fab. (All the outfits are great, but that is my special favorite).
