(I am wearing&nbsp;black patent oxfords today too.)</p> <p>I have serious bag envy.....that one has tempted me several times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569470 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 14:08:24 +0000 Elizabeth P 1569470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this Lisa, great combination of cool things, yet doesn't look over done.&nbsp; And don't think the pants look too short at all.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569464 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 13:57:37 +0000 Angie 1569464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha. Grey is your happy colour. You can wear it for me!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569444 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 13:06:42 +0000 Anonymous 1569444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES Lisa, this is fantastic. Wow. So glad it felt as great as it looks. If I saw you in this I'd definitely do a double take to admire a woman with a strong sense of her own style; I might even overcome shyness to say so! I'd never think costumey. Each piece is great on its own (that jacket...wow) but together, they're so well styled. Final touch: your hair is looking amazing. The earrings highlight your cut perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569438 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 12:42:12 +0000 Anonymous 1569438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! &nbsp;I really enjoy dressing like this, and I suppose my costumey worry was because I never see anyone else wearing these sorts of things. I'm over it now, as I'm more confident about what I wear, but there was &nbsp;always that nagging fear of looking like a wanna be or a try-hard. &nbsp; I've had these earrings for a few years - I also have a much bigger pair in gold which I love to wear. &nbsp;They always get a comment or a double take when the person I'm talking to realizes I have a safety pin stuck through my ear &nbsp;</p> <p><b>approprio -&nbsp;</b>hey, I never considered wearing the skull print sweater under this jacket &nbsp;- great idea! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569378 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 08:55:48 +0000 lyn67 1569378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, YLF, and what a pair of artsy earings you have!:-))) Love the scull on your tee-think it is not obvious when live and jacket on, subtle but there:-). Great outfit and does not look costumey to me, did you really feel it so? And, I like your cover on your bed, bl&amp;w paisley is so rare, loved the bag too-of course:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569374 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 07:41:55 +0000 approprio 1569374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stellar! How on earth is this costumey? I'm really liking your pop-gothic spin at the moment. Those earrings are TDF and I can see why you'd want to wear that shirt every day.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hey, when the weather cools down you could swap the shirt out for the skull print v-neck. I bet that would look really cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569360 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 05:54:11 +0000 catgirl 1569360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the best look! I need to get back to some of this schoolboy cool. Totally inspiring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569356 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 05:44:45 +0000 Bijou 1569356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a wonderful look - the fit and proportions are great and then each piece you are wearing is special. &nbsp;I really love your pinstripe blazer and wearing it back with a skull T-shirt is a genius combination. &nbsp;Not a costume, just very cool.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569344 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 03:34:47 +0000 Beth Ann 1569344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Atta girl!&nbsp; Now the coeds can see they have something to look forward to!</p> <p>This outfit is practical and interesting --- I love a good boyfriend blazer, and the shine of the oxfords! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569310 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 01:59:54 +0000 Jaime 1569310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is the jacket that steals the show for me.

I bought them in the spring I think, wore them a couple of times, and now I bet I get another few wears out of them until they are packed away for trade show wearing. Oh well, I don't mind having something that feels new to pull out a couple of times a year &nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie -&nbsp;</b>yes, when in doubt, pull out the grey stuff &nbsp;It's my favourite colour &nbsp;to wear - so easy!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569244 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 00:08:58 +0000 Angie 1569244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute. Did I know you loved to wear grey, Lisa? LOVE the safety pin earrings.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569239 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 00:01:35 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1569239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit is spectacular in its quiet way, Lisa. I love all the elements and how they combine to make a look that is so you. Thanks for the closeups; I'm really admiring those earrings and the fabulous shiny-studded skull tee, in addition to the overall look of the outfit on you. And what a great not-so-basic basic black satchel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569236 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 23:58:31 +0000 Suz 1569236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, wow -- <b>LOVE</b> that jacket! And I think the bit of skin with the oxfords is perfect. Isn't it fun to be able to wear oxfords? We get about a 3 week window for wearing them without socks....</p> <p>The earrings are amazing on you and I also love the charcoals here. Moody and sharp.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569224 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 23:51:50 +0000 Anonymous 1569224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Smittie:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569222 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 23:40:27 +0000 Anonymous 1569222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a great outfit. I LOVE these tomboy looks. You look effortlessly cool.<br /> I love the subtle pinstripe on the blazer. It looks kind of special, as you like to put it, but still plain enough not to be flashy.</p> <p>See, this is the type of look I want to do myself, but never end up getting there for some reason.<br /> Eta: The skulls, zips, and safety pins add collness too, of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569220 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 23:36:22 +0000 Anonymous 1569220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never met a skull I didn't like (well, except for the cheap and nasty ones in teen mall stores ) . I have a couple of sweaters and a scarf with skull motifs, a purse with a skull key lock.....hey, I just realized I don't have any skull earrings. Must get on that. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569218 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 23:33:10 +0000 Elly 1569218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it is costume-y at all. I love the encrusted earrings with the patent and the tee. Skulls are rather interesting, and as an anthropologist, I reserve the right to wear them forever without judgement because of my profession. I love this!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569211 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 22:57:11 +0000 Word Lily 1569211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, fun! I love those earrings.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/108-one-of-the-boys#post-1569203 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 22:36:50 +0000 Anonymous 1569203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had some merchandising work to do at the U of M Bookstore today , and working there often &nbsp;means a fair hike from the car. &nbsp;When I am there, regardless of whether it's buying meeting or some merchandising, I don't like looking too dressy or precious - it's not the right environment for it. No mincing around in heels or with clothes that are too uptight. . The beauty of being in my &nbsp;mid-50's (yikes!) is that I really don't worry what others think of how I dress. Not too long ago I would have worried that this looked too costumey . Now? &nbsp;It's my way of making a boyish outfit of skinnies, a blazer, a tshirt and oxfords &nbsp;look , well, &nbsp;like me.&nbsp;Dressing in quiet basics is fine, but on my terms. Insert: skulls, studs, zippers, patent leather, etc etc. &nbsp;The only disappointment I had was that these jeans were this short. I've only worn them twice &nbsp;, and until I unrolled them, I didn't realize they were this length. Oops. &nbsp;Worked fine today ,as showing a bit of skin feminized the look, I think.......</p> <p>jacket: Smythe<br />t: Nygard (don't tell anyone- lol) ( a gift)<br />jeans: &nbsp;Current Elliot<br />oxfords: Naot<br />bag: Rebecca Minkoff<br />earrings (micro crystal studded safety pins) &nbsp;: Rachel Roy&nbsp;</p> <p>p.s. I am totally in love with this tshirt and may wear it every day. &nbsp;</p> <p>thanks for looking - comments welcome!&nbsp; </p>
