I'm nodding along with Beth Ann, you've done drape over drape beautifully. What a great purse too and a lovely piece of nostalgia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-modern-a-little-vintage-a-little-pinspiration#post-1387866 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 14:43:32 +0000 jackiec 1387866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing.

I will try to copy it for work next week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-modern-a-little-vintage-a-little-pinspiration#post-1387825 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 13:12:23 +0000 Karie 1387825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Isabel, for noticing my lipstick! I decided to wear a deeper color (instead of my usual light ones) for more drama.<br />Shevia, Meredith, and Jjsloane,&nbsp;years ago I used to watch this HGTV show called "Room by Room." On the show Matt and Shari would often add an unexpected element to each room they redid.&nbsp;I love to do that in my outfits,&nbsp;and the purse was my "unexpected."</p> <p>Suz, the purse isn't velvet (just photo'd that way)&nbsp;but it is a sort of silk grosgrain. I have another one of my mother's that's almost the same but has a little handle and has a regular snap closure, not a pearl one.</p> <p>Thank you, LACeleste!</p> <p>Sveta and Runcarla, I love those pants but always have to turn to Angie and Pinterest to style them. The gathers at the waist and the wide-to-narrow silhouette accentuates the worst part of me - my belly. Correct styling is a must! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-modern-a-little-vintage-a-little-pinspiration#post-1387824 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 13:00:56 +0000 Neel 1387824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! Your dressy day outfits are always my favorite! And isn't it fun to carry something that reminds us of our loved ones?</p> <p>BTW the leopard print pumps are a perfect and unexpected touch </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-modern-a-little-vintage-a-little-pinspiration#post-1387715 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 03:05:18 +0000 Isabel 1387715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Gosh, you look ah-mazing !! &nbsp;I really like that shade of red lipstick. &nbsp;Brilliant idea to layer with the pants. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-modern-a-little-vintage-a-little-pinspiration#post-1387711 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 02:51:21 +0000 Jaime 1387711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit and I love how you incorporated the vintage bag into your very current outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-modern-a-little-vintage-a-little-pinspiration#post-1387710 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 02:44:53 +0000 Suz 1387710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful outfit on you, Karen! You look relaxed, elegant, and polished all at once.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think you must be right about that bag. I have a similar one from my mother-in-law, also with a peach lining and coin purse (!!) and I know it dates from the 50s for sure because she told me. Mine is not velvet but a sort of silk grosgrain fabric and it has a little handle -- I'll have to snap a pic for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-modern-a-little-vintage-a-little-pinspiration#post-1387663 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 01:24:17 +0000 Meredith 1387663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful frim head to toe. I really love the jacket and an heirloom always tugs at my heartstrings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-modern-a-little-vintage-a-little-pinspiration#post-1387659 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 01:21:29 +0000 Jjsloane 1387659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous rendition - I love a vintage bag and if it has personal attachments even better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-modern-a-little-vintage-a-little-pinspiration#post-1387651 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 01:14:11 +0000 LACeleste 1387651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love every single part so much! &nbsp;Great look Karie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-modern-a-little-vintage-a-little-pinspiration#post-1387646 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 01:10:38 +0000 Sveta 1387646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great!

Very faithful to the original, but I like your version more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-modern-a-little-vintage-a-little-pinspiration#post-1387613 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 00:37:09 +0000 Karie 1387613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DH and I went out for dinner tonight with two other couples. Good company and good food - is there anything better on a Saturday night?</p> <p>I've been wanting to wear these Leith track pants again before putting them away for the winter. The fabric is a lightweight silky poly, and since it was quite cold and rainy I wore a pair of&nbsp;Cuddl Duds underneath. On top I wore an off white fluid fitting blouse. I tucked that and pulled it up a bit so it would blouse out a little. Then I added my faux leather lapel drapey jacket. For footwear I wore my leopard print pumps. Initially I put on off-black knee highs, but I didn't like all that darkness on the bottom, I thought the nude hose looked better since I had off-white on top, plus with the nude hose you can see the zippers on the pant legs better.</p> <p>The purse is vintage - it belonged to my mother and has a lovely peach colored lining inside with an attached coin purse. My guess is it's from the 1950's and came from one of her favorite Phila. department stores, either John Wanamaker's or Lit Brothers. It brings back fond memories every time I carry it :)</p> <p>I attached the Pinspiration photo so you can see what got the wheels turning in my mind. Thoughts, comments, and musings are all welcome!</p>
