You own this grey and white look like noone's business! </p> <p>I love #4. I'm marveling at your ability to mix such simple pieces and look so absolutely stunning......it's your smile and your personality that takes EVERY SINGLE outfit you wear up a notch or two. </p> <p>Your clothes fit, drape and flatter to perfection. Your wardrobe loves you back, Suz! And I love your WIWs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548815 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 02:33:56 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1548815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really rock your shorts outfits, Suz! I think the white is great on you, too. All of these outfits are fantastic. I melted over the last one, though. It seems every time I see you in those Okalas I feel a fainting spell coming on. That outfit is so ladylike and relaxed looking on you. Sophisticated, casual, chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548607 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 16:13:44 +0000 Angie 1548607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect. I love those, Suz. And look forward to seeing them in an outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548557 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 14:48:39 +0000 Suz 1548557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will show them, <b>Angie</b>. They are called "Latte" I think and they are actually a textured pale gold. Unfortunately, the Find would only come up as black -- must be a fault of the Hudson's Bay site. So I've just collected from Amazon as well. </p> <p>And I'll put them on with an outfit soon and model them soon. They are an upgrade for my old cheap R&amp;W gold slingbacks that always fell off my feet. </p> <p>I bought 4 pairs of shoes last week!!!! But that is another post. Retail therapy all the way here. </p> <p>And thank you for your kind words. I'm feeling pretty rocky this week. </p> <p><b>Jackie</b>, this kind of grey would look gorgeous on you, too! Just saying! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548556 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 14:47:00 +0000 jackiec 1548556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Suz, you certainly nailed this ensemble, over and over!!! Simple but stunning. I, too, love that crisp Zara top. Wow. I hope you felt a little cheered up by your fresh fun outfits, they project happiness on the outside :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548551 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 14:41:16 +0000 Angie 1548551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>((((HUGS))). How are you doing, sweet Suz? You look radiant, but I know &nbsp;you're somewhat sad on the inside. It gets better with time.&nbsp;</p> <p>You OWN THIS LOOK. <b>WOW</b>. Best casual and smart casual rendition of this ensemble I've seen. The white makes it pop and look extra crisp. Fun pattern mixing too. Animal print footwear is magical. I vote killer all round!</p> <p>And which Okalas did you recently add to your wardrobe?&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548488 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 13:04:28 +0000 Suz 1548488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all. And <b>Elizabeth's</b> right about the Okalas -- they're available in lots of iterations and I just added a new version to my own closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548479 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 12:43:31 +0000 Elizabeth P 1548479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure how I missed this yesterday... you look fantastic in all of these Suz.&nbsp; I was esp drawn to the tank top in #2, the diagonal striping on it is so flattering and unusual.&nbsp; Great job with the interpretations!&nbsp; I actually think taking an ensemble and wearing it a bunch of ways like this is really informative... I tend to take them and try them in one iteration, and then forget about them.&nbsp; Hmm...</p> <p><b>Ankita</b>, that particular design of Okala isn't available, but there are others... and they do keep adding new ones, so keep your eyes open.&nbsp; It seems to be a style of SE shoes still going strong.&nbsp; I like this one:<br /><a href="http://www.samedelman.com/en-US/Product/EC0212608-3011826/Sam+Edelman/New+Nude+Leopard_Blk/Okala.aspx" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://www.samedelman.com/en-US/Product/EC0212608-3011826/Sam+Edelman/New+Nude+Leopard_Blk/Okala.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.samedelman.com/en-U...../Okala.asp</a>...</a></p> <p>And have this one:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.samedelman.com/en-US/Product/EC0216335-3011826/Sam+Edelman/Black_Ivory+Zebra/Okala.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.samedelman.com/en-U.....Okala.aspx</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548439 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 11:07:55 +0000 Deborah 1548439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous Suz! The grey tone is just lovely on you and so flattering! And you are rocking those shorts;). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548414 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 05:51:32 +0000 Ankita 1548414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops! &lt;bye-bye dreams of gorgeous shoe&gt;<br /> So cool that sp many of you here have these shoes, I can imagine why though....they're so stunning!<br /> Maybe I'll just get happy looking at them on your feet then! Hehe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548368 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 02:56:58 +0000 Sveta 1548368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do wear light grey very well - didn't you say before that you prefer the darker greys? In any case the light grey does look great on you.<br />Shorts look gret - good save here. However #4 is my favorite here - effortless casual elegance. I am glad you are still enjoying these grey linen pants - mine were too big so they had to go </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548306 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 00:27:06 +0000 Jaime 1548306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wowed with how good that silvery grey looks on you with white. Fantastic! #2 is my new standard retort to women over xx should not wear shorts. #4 is beautiful - love the bag too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548305 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 00:20:08 +0000 E 1548305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so gorgeous in all of these! Such a treat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548288 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 23:39:11 +0000 Elly 1548288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these looks-- you make shorts look so good, which is hard to do "put together" that is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548287 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 23:37:45 +0000 Karie 1548287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fantastic, but #4 really knocks it out of the park for me. The kitty shirt and cow print Ocala's look super fab together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548276 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 23:11:30 +0000 Brooklyn 1548276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this ensemble. So simple and chic. My faves are nos 1 and 2. That shade of grey really suits you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548272 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 23:06:42 +0000 Caro in Oz 1548272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stella outfits Suz. #3 is perfect - that shirt is fabulous on you.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548254 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 22:38:10 +0000 unfrumped 1548254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Superfab! These are just great on you- good lengths and proportions all.<br /> Aren't the Gap gray pants the best? You've inspired me to try some different combinations.<br /> I've run low on animal print except sometimes buying " cool" gray versions, but I often find the ah, more realistic, warm colors better iterations especially in shoes, but don't want to skew too warm. Angie's ensembles and your challenge show ways to mix with grays- this makes sense because gray and brown leathers, cognac is pleasing. Goid way to keep cool colors as face colors but perhaps get more classic patterned footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548236 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 22:21:52 +0000 Suz 1548236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww. You guys sure know how to make a girl feel a bit better. Thank you so much. I do really like the grey and white and agree, <b>Lisa,</b> that the slightly bluer/ deeper mid tone grey is best. The shirt was, indeed, Zara, and is not available this year, but I think it has some similarities to this BR shirt that I also have my eye on. Except the high summer version.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Ankita,</b> alas, those shoes are going to be tough to track down. They are the Sam Edelman Okalas in the pony hair and for some reason they don't seem to be making them any more. Angie also has them, and Shevia, and a few others here. I love this pony hair version and baby them like crazy (except I got caught in the rain in them earlier in the summer, blah!! Luckily -- they survived.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548217 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 21:19:22 +0000 Gigi 1548217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful in all of these outfits! Your legs are sooo lovely.</p> <p>My absolute fave is 4. I think there's something about the color combinations that really makes it perfection. The Okalas are stunning with that outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548202 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 21:01:38 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1548202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all very much but the stripes in #1 look like you are ready to set sail on a private yacht. &nbsp;I really like the crisp white shirt with the boyfriend shorts too and the pants outfit is just all around fab. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548194 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 20:46:50 +0000 Dottie 1548194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why you like this color combination because it really suits you beautifully. &nbsp;I also love the unexpected pop with the animal print shoes. Perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548185 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 20:34:02 +0000 Anonymous 1548185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the darker shade of cool greys on you - and my favourite look is #3. I just love that shirt - and I think we've all asked you where it came from in another post, didnt' we? &nbsp;Zara, and of course, long gone ? &nbsp;Anyways, I like it best because it's different, and just that much more interesting and polished with the crisp white shirt. &nbsp; Those animal print sneaks sure have been good to you - and they'll go right through fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548184 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 20:33:28 +0000 Word Lily 1548184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 2 and 3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548182 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 20:28:46 +0000 Carla 1548182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an inspirational series! I would suggest that you have found your PPL for shorts with #2 and #3. So, so, so very flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548178 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 20:13:51 +0000 Dee 1548178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great minimalist looks. 4 and 1 are my faves. You have a fantastic start on a grey and white capsule.</p> <p>Like Carter, I also missed this ensemble post. I might need to invest in some animal print! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548176 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 20:09:04 +0000 CocoLion 1548176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 3 and 4. &nbsp;Where is the shirt in #3 from? &nbsp;It's fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-part-1#post-1548175 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 20:00:30 +0000 Anonymous 1548175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are wonderful versions of the ensemble. My favorites are 3 and 4, loving the crisp button-down shirts. Next is #1. Now I NEED grey striped tee. The fit and texture of the sleeveless top in #2 looks perfect. You have just the right pieces for a great warm weather grey and white capsule. </p>
