You look great and it is hard to pick a favorite, but if forced--#5 is stunning, gorgeous and everything great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-wiw-retrospective/page/2#post-1420782 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 11:04:15 +0000 Karie 1420782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE your longer hair! My favs of your outfits are #11 and all of the ones with the Rag and Bone sweatpant jeans. And #1. And...I love them all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-wiw-retrospective/page/2#post-1420756 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 07:27:24 +0000 rae 1420756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all the replies! Like coming home to a big group hug...ahhhhhh...</p> <p>Diana, your description makes me think of David Lynch. Which makes me very happy. :D</p> <p>Rachy, I hadn't heard, and I am horrified for you. :_( I can only console myself because it sounds like no clothes were taken. Ugh, I never think about theft, either...</p> <p>Lyn67, I guess I do have a fetish for statement pieces! Glad to hear you think they work together. Some mornings I feel like I throw on random items and cross my fingers!</p> <p>Una - HOW did I miss that pun opportunity??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-wiw-retrospective/page/2#post-1420433 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 19:30:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1420433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crazy late to this thread Rae but had to chime in anyway (it's hard to keep up these days isn't it?).</p> <p>2014 was quite the challenge for you and you should be giving yourself a HUGE pat on the back for coming through the other side :)</p> <p>I'm loving these outfits and seeing your style progress and change. Isn't it interesting that living closer to the water has resulted in choosing different colors?&nbsp; And I adore your hair at this length. </p> <p>It's nice to see you again and am looking forward to seeing what 2015 brings you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-wiw-retrospective/page/2#post-1420422 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 19:01:50 +0000 trekkiegirl 1420422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1, 2, 4 and 11 are my favorite looks.

You was&nbsp; so brave to change the corporate banking field&nbsp;for the fashion retail one, and am&nbsp; amazed again with this one-great girl!:-) BTW, I loved to see your retrospective of the last year, and all are so fab outfits! Esp love the&nbsp; first one, OMG, like in&nbsp;a fashion advert! I've noticed, that all of your items are really different from those common ones, all have some interesting&nbsp;details-so they get their own persona-but building up so well in your very own style! And your stripe bag is still gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-wiw-retrospective#post-1420340 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 16:21:15 +0000 goldenpig 1420340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style Rae! And Urban Warrior Mermaid is perfect. #1 is my favorite, but #11 is a close second (love your smile). I must copy this! I hope this year brings everything you want, including the perfect blood red bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-wiw-retrospective#post-1419948 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 22:17:54 +0000 deb 1419948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a year!&nbsp; I really love #1.

I&nbsp;<i>SO&nbsp;</i>admire your style. i am loving all your looks, esp #2.

Awesome group of WIWs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-wiw-retrospective#post-1419796 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 18:10:43 +0000 Roxanna 1419796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your style is very different than mine, but that's why I love it! So inspired by your interesting juxtapositions of texture and pattern. I'll definitely be using these as a jumping off point. Can I choose 1, 2 3, 4 and 5 as my favourites? Too many great ones to narrow down :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-wiw-retrospective#post-1419782 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 17:57:56 +0000 rachylou 1419782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You were looking great in 2014. Urban Warrior Mermaid is too awesomely cool.</p> <p>(I'd love to do a retrospective... but did I mention? My car was broken into and ALL my photos EVER were lost. Milleny shrimp! I have to dig up from what I posted here. Maybe I should do a YLF blog to avoid this problem in future. I wasn't worried about loss/theft... I was worried about equipment failure, so all my memory sticks were together in the same bag!! ... right, I know, this is a thread about Rae NOT Rachy. I do, I swear ;)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-wiw-retrospective#post-1419773 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 17:38:14 +0000 harmonica 1419773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stellar, Rae! Impossible to choose one favorite. I'm picking 2, 5 and 11 as my favorites.

Such a pleasure to see all these fab looks. All are great, but I think 4,5 6,7. 9and 11 stand out for me.

What a nice comment about #11 - that is my favorite, too, taken by DH (although I had to adjust the camera myself, because I'm a little ocd about my pics now, lol). Stepmama thinks I should let my hair grow to my collarbone, and since she is the hairdresser extraordinaire, that is my aim for now. :)</p> <p>Una and Shevia, yes, I can see the boho, too. Hard to avoid when you live at the beach and play with clothes for a living I suppose. Wine and beer!</p> <p>Suz, every time I see black and white in a 2015 ad or trend report, I do a little dance inside. Precious is going strong!</p> <p>Denise, what a good eye. Has it been that long since we found those pants?? Wow. And I know I'll find a great bag with you in my corner.&nbsp;</p> <p>FL, thank you! I was inspired to bring out the citron bag for winter when my sister gifted me a matching wristlet. Love that citron!</p> <p>LACeleste, I love how mythological you make me sound, hehe. We need an LA meetup.
