I really like #1 particularly with the jacket and scarf. It's very Diana:). And the dress is 2 is gorgeous. I really lmike your style Diana:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws-including-steel-scarf-for-una#post-605021 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 22:58:10 +0000 Angie 605021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was hoping that you wouldn't be offended by Boy Scout! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws-including-steel-scarf-for-una#post-604911 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 20:44:39 +0000 Diana 604911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! Angie, I love your description of my outfit. =)<br /> And thanks also for the belt securing suggestions - I knew you guys would have some clever ways of fixing the problem! I have tons of black hair elastics lying around so that will probably be easiest for me with this belt at least. </p> <p>Mo, the scarf is not scratchy, but the metal does make it feel a bit crunchy. The steel yarn is actually a really fine steel wire wrapped in silk, so I think that softens it a bit, and there are no pointy or pokey bits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws-including-steel-scarf-for-una#post-604836 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 19:03:17 +0000 Mo 604836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also a huge fan of #2!! Does the scarf scratch? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws-including-steel-scarf-for-una#post-604748 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:18:53 +0000 christieanne 604748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That scarf is amazing! I have seen things like it and been fascinated but didn't really know what it was. Love outfit #2.<br /> I like #1 with the jacket a lot with the layers in their glory - the belt is distracting me and chopping wonderful you in half in the first pic. Sorry </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws-including-steel-scarf-for-una#post-604736 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:46:26 +0000 Suz 604736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific in both outfits, Diana. But my heart beats the loudest for #2. What a fabulous dress, and what an amazing scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws-including-steel-scarf-for-una#post-604727 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:28:34 +0000 san 604727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style. You look great inn both pics. That scarf is gorgeous. I had never heard of stainless steel yarn until yesterday and now it's popping up all over the place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws-including-steel-scarf-for-una#post-604712 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:06:56 +0000 Jjsloane 604712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonus for you in branching out into new looks! I use fashion tape for my belts to hold them if I can't hide a binder clip on them somewhere. </p> <p>The scarf is really cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws-including-steel-scarf-for-una#post-604708 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:02:48 +0000 catgirl 604708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both amazing looks! Especially outfit 2 - just the height of perfection. :)</p> <p>STAINLESS STEEL yarn?! How UWP can you get? I love love love it! Must force knitting friend to knit something with it ASAP. It looks a lot like my sweater, actually. In the sun I could even see tiny glints of metal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws-including-steel-scarf-for-una#post-604679 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:35:33 +0000 rae 604679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You layer so well, Diana! For the belt, sometimes I'll use those colored paperclips or a black binder clip to hold the tail down. Not the most high-tech, but they're usually small enough to position under a belt loop if you have one and, if not, they don't stand out too much. </p> <p>The scarf is amazing and yes, slight Victorian/Steampunk vibe here that I'm diggin' hard! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws-including-steel-scarf-for-una#post-604677 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:33:06 +0000 Heather 604677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dig both looks, Diana!</p> <p>So for your belt: I always sneak a clear hair elastic onto the belt that doesn't play friendly--it will hold the flapping excess belt down without much notice from passersby enjoying your loveliness and cool vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws-including-steel-scarf-for-una#post-604664 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:30:32 +0000 Transcona Shannon 604664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That scarf is amazing Diana! You are so uber talented.<br /> I'm still getting my eye used to maxi lengths but I think this works well on you. Outfit #2 is fabulicious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws-including-steel-scarf-for-una#post-604661 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:26:59 +0000 Angie 604661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit #2 is divine! Nice mixture of Boy Scout meets Mad Men meets Goth </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws-including-steel-scarf-for-una#post-604660 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:26:07 +0000 kellygirl 604660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the second outfit especially, Diana. The scarf is fab, gorgeous dress and boots! I think the first one looks great too and is true to your sense of style! Re: the belt, I place a clear rubber band around the belt and tuck the loose end inside of it. If you don't have clear, just match your belt color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws-including-steel-scarf-for-una#post-604653 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:15:47 +0000 Tanya 604653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love everything about the second outfit Diana! What a cool scarf. I can not really comment on the first one, as I personally dislike non-formal maxi skirts, so have no clue how they are supposed to be styled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws-including-steel-scarf-for-una#post-604647 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:11:51 +0000 Diana 604647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1-2: WIW 042512 - I think this will be a love it or hate it outfit for most of you. I'm trying something a little different with a belted sweater tunic over a maxi skirt. Added some toughness with the leather moto jacket, chain link bracelets, and big belt. PS- Does anyone have a good trick for holding down the flappy end of the belt? It's too wide to loop under itself.<br /> Wearing: handknit tunic, w118 skirt, Levis jacket, Gap belt, Portlandia booties, Etsy bracelets</p> <p>3-4: WIW 042612 - In honor of Una and her fab Helmut Lang sweater, I am wearing a scarf that I handknit out of stainless steel yarn. This feels very Victorian UWP to me!<br /> Wearing: Dorothy Perkins blouse, Tulle dress, Steve Madden boots, handknit scarf. </p>
