That bag is new - like brand new. I bought it before Christmas on total impulse. It was marked WAY down at BR, and it is a stunning bag IRL - the quality blows me away. &nbsp;I knew I wanted some green in my life, and this was something I decided to blow money on. Not necessarily a smart purchase, but it happened. &nbsp;I haven't used it because I didn't find anything else this winter in that colour to work with it. &nbsp;I don't like a random pop of colour - I need a bit of co-ordination going on &nbsp;I think I will get more use out of this bag in spring now - and can't wait to find a print scarf, and ideally a silk top in this colour . &nbsp;</p> <p>And Lisa - you're right . A brighter top would have made all the difference in the world .

I'm not a poncho/wrap person but this looks pretty cool to me. &nbsp;</p> <p>And I'm amazed that people hang on to things they don't use, like this green bag, which looks great as a pop of color (like Sveta, I don't think it needs to be "tied in" -- it's the perfect statement). I would have shed it long ago. Good for you for hanging on to it! So fresh.</p> <p>PS The hair! Love.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble/page/2#post-1789487 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 04:50:41 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1789487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your version is elegant, Lisa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble/page/2#post-1789218 Sun, 19 Mar 2017 03:56:19 +0000 Jaime 1789218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the colorful necklace adds a lot and it isn't very visible in the full length photos, so keep that in mind when you see drabness. This sort of outfit has lots of potential for small tweaks to suit your mood. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble/page/2#post-1789153 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 22:35:13 +0000 Anonymous 1789153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>karen13</b> - thank you - I am actually patiently (sort of) growing my hair a little......it's still a bit on the short side for my liking . Short hair is always a work in progress, it seems!<br /><b>Chris, harmonica,</b> - thanks for the outfit love, and re: Puffi? He shed his white fur everywhere. He is the cutest boy, but what a handful! It's like having another kid in the house. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble/page/2#post-1789149 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 21:23:00 +0000 karen13 1789149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks fab! Love everything - but extra love to the necklace - fun and maximal (for me), without being too. And I second or forth or whatever that your hair look great too. I am sort of growing out a short pixie cut and I star to lose my resolve when I see such a great short hair cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble/page/2#post-1789127 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 19:03:44 +0000 Debbie 1789127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great!

I really liked this look on you, but you have to listen to how *you* feel. Puffi is really adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble/page/2#post-1789115 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 17:50:32 +0000 Chris987 1789115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well....I guess one person's "meh" is not everyone's "meh"...I think you look terrific! The green bag and the necklace are just perfect with thsi look. Also love the suggestions for lighter colored options...you should definitely think about trying them.&nbsp;I love that Puffi has both white and black fur.. so he can shed on BOTH&nbsp;the black and white clothes in your wardrobe &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1789106 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 17:00:45 +0000 MsMaven 1789106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look. I'll bet that once outside in the brighter light it looked fabulous. The necklace and bag take it way out of drab territory to my eyes.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1789078 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 15:36:27 +0000 Anonymous 1789078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for checking back in , Angie I'll give it another go sometime soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1789065 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 15:06:39 +0000 Angie 1789065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, in #1, the silhouettes are very slimming and streamlining, which I know is important to you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1789063 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 15:05:34 +0000 Angie 1789063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad the denim jacket has stretch. How about white or cream top, taupe boots - and the rest of the outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1789037 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 14:35:03 +0000 Anonymous 1789037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>LaP</b> - thank you for your comments - and I love that green bag too - just wish I could figure out how to get some use out of it!</p> <p><b>kkards</b> - aha , yes, you could be right. Didn't think about that!<br /><b>SF</b>- yes, the infamous NAS pants. &nbsp;I got &nbsp;quite a bit of wear out of them this winter!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b> - yes, this jacket does have some stretch. &nbsp;Definitely required for comfort/driving/in-and-out-of-the-car days! . &nbsp;I am still not a fan of all of this darkness though and next time I'll use a different wrap. &nbsp;I was trying to be mindful of the weather and time of year - not wanting to use a blanket-y fringy one that would have required different jewellery and bag. Not enough time set aside to experiment much here - toss it on and get out the door kind of day. &nbsp;And regarding lighter boots and wrap? &nbsp;Not really - at least not two that work together &nbsp;. &nbsp;I do have a new pair of light sandy-taupe suede boots that are orphans right now.....need to work on that .&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1789008 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 13:40:24 +0000 LaPed 1789008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you've already identified a lot of things you can tweak, but just want to chime in and say I *love* the floral necklace against the black. It's unexpected and it works -- kind of reminiscent of the 90s in a good way. Jealous of that green bag -- great color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1789006 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 13:35:08 +0000 kkards 1789006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>as other's have said, not a fail, but not perfection....i get it, this is what happens to me all the time when i try something new....my take, part of the issue is that the denim jacket and the poncho are basically the same lenght, so everything is hitting in the same place. i'd give it a go with a longer or shorter poncho or wrap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1789001 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 13:18:37 +0000 RobinF 1789001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think this is a fail either. It is quite dark but the green bag is gorgeous and brightens it a lot. I could see it with a lighter top or wrap but overall I like it, and I love the denim jacket on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1788969 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 09:04:37 +0000 anchie 1788969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this, not meh at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1788960 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 08:10:07 +0000 Mirjana 1788960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent necklace and bag, wonderful outfit completely, you look extraordinary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1788944 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 05:52:17 +0000 Anonymous 1788944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your outfit looks really pretty darn great and don't find the necklace too spring-y at all. That bag is glorious. The color is just wonderful, green is my favorite color. I'd nab it from you in a heartbeat . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1788932 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 04:28:46 +0000 rachylou 1788932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really perfect for the green bag. The green is big wow against the dark. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1788930 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 04:12:43 +0000 bridgie 1788930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both you and Puffi are glamorous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1788918 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 02:35:11 +0000 Andrea H 1788918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent necklace, bag, and kitty! &nbsp;I think it all works but look forward to seeing your other iterations of this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1788915 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 02:22:21 +0000 lpr200 1788915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really make it work, Lisa. From what I've seen of your wardrobe it makes sense that the green purse seems like an orphan but it's perfect for the day and alleviates the black. I want to see the outfit with your light combo which will be more in line with your style goals. I think the green bag will look even prettier then. Could you play with the necklace and hang it off the bag like the LV charms? That might help ground it with a darker outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1788908 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 01:51:04 +0000 Angie 1788908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Puffi is a sweetheart, and you look GREAT. </p> <p>This is a wonderful formula for you, Lisa. I get the lack of excitement with "all the black", but you DO look good. Not a failed outfit at all. Don't you have a less dark wrap and pair of boots? I thought you did - or perhaps I dreamt it. </p> <p>The green bag is super cute with the necklace. </p> <p>The key to a comfy denim jacket is STRETCH. Does yours have stretch? Mine all have a bit of stretch.  </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1788901 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 00:35:23 +0000 Style Fan 1788901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Puffi is adorable.&nbsp; I really like the poncho look.&nbsp; Are those the highly desirable Halogen pants from the NAS?&nbsp; They look fantastic on you.&nbsp; I think everything works and a gray poncho would work too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1788892 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 23:30:41 +0000 Bijou 1788892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well even your 'meh' looks are great to me! I love the base of this outfit - simple and streamlined. I would probably prefer a more statement wrap because the base is so dark. You have added the statement with your accessories.<br />As for how to photograph with a phone, I am totally useless at that - I think you did extremely well.<br />Puffi is gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1788876 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 22:53:33 +0000 binkle 1788876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I'm not Team Poncho :(<br /> But love everything else, especially the green bag! Great spring addition!</p> <p>And eyebrows ON FLEEK! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/317-my-version-of-todays-ensemble#post-1788863 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 22:25:24 +0000 Mochi 1788863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket and the necklace are awesome.
