I loved the pink and green outfit. </p> <p>I tried on the blue-patterned dress from Target too, but there was just something about it that didn't click for me so I returned it. I may have to get that ON jacket, especially now that it's on sale! I got it in white and love it, and I got a dark one from Target that just doesn't seem to work. I think it's too cropped for my waist.</p> <p>My favorite of the week is the red sundress. So chic and so summery! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70380 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 19:06:11 +0000 Angie 70380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha! Bella saw the pearl light! There is no substitute for a chunky pearl necklace. The effect is simply magical if you fancy the aesthetic. I have SO MANY chunky pearl necklaces – both real and costume. Have been collecting for years in various shades of white and cream and size of chunkiness. (Kendal Farr is a huge fan too and mentions chunky pearls in her new book). I’m chuffed you’ve adapted the look too :0). Cheers to us pearl gals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70372 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 18:36:54 +0000 bella 70372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jean! I got my shoes at Target two years ago. They don't have the same ones anymore but they still have a nice selection of affordable red flats if you're interested:<br /> <a href="http://www.target.com/b/ref=in_br_browse_box/192-6609219-7669820?ie=UTF8&#038;node=3429561&#038;frombrowse=1&#038;rh=tgt_2%3ARed" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/b/ref=in.....gt_2%3ARed</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70370 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 18:26:38 +0000 greenglove 70370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking fab as always. My favorites are the pink and green combo and the last outfit. I agree that the pants are a gorgeous fit. What kind of shoes are those, I love the color red!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70368 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 18:00:59 +0000 bella 70368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your comments! </p> <p>Re: chunky pearls - I was really skeptical at the beginning but now it is my favorite necklace. I own many many necklaces but this is the first one I reach for when I am getting dressed. There is something about them that as Angie said really "make the outfit." You will be seeing more of me in my pearls.:)</p> <p>Re: dress - I like it with the jacket as well but I feel so-so in it without the denim jacket. I think I will reserve it for occasions when I need to out together a pulled-together but comfy and quick outfit for running to the store and such.</p> <p>Re: jeans: Oh Angie, I am so happy to hear that you think they look good on me. They are not premium jeans by any means. They are actually pretty affordable ( I got them on sale) but I thought they looked good on me.I am happy to see my instincts confirmed. I still treat them as premium jeans- wash them at low temperature, air dry, etc. and I will duplicate in the winter when NY&#38;Co has more of this style in store. </p> <p>Maya and Lena - Thanks for the tips on price adjustment. I was just a few days over the 14 days limit. Oh well, I feel like I've already gotten my money's worth so all is well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70304 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 06:50:57 +0000 anne 70304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I am another one who just loved the last outfit. So chic and clean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70300 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 06:35:10 +0000 Angie 70300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous week, Bella! Love the white beads.They MAKE your outfits. </p> <p>The dress looks great with the denim jacket. How do you feel about the frock worn on its own? I guess like Taylor, my favourite outfit of the week is the last one. Those pants fit REALLY well. You look deliciously svelte in them. Duplicate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70281 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 04:33:44 +0000 Alecia 70281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love every outfit you posted, as usual. I really like the dress with the denim jacket. I think it's a lovely outfit and fits you to a t. The demin jacket was a great score! My favorite, though, is outfit 4 with the vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70273 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 04:16:39 +0000 Lena 70273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the first and fourth outfits. The color combination in no.1 is striking (in a very good way), and you wear bright colors so well. I also like how the white blouse takes it up a notch. No.4 is smashing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70271 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 04:13:42 +0000 Lena 70271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>About the jacket. Bella, you can get a price adjustment within 14 days of purchase, here's a link to their customer service section <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/customerService/info.do?cid=3317&#038;mlink=,1117713&#038;clink=1117713" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/custome.....nk=1117713</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70231 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 02:11:00 +0000 shana 70231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella, fabulous as always! I especially like the last one with the vest &#38; pearls. I like how you've styled your target dress with the denim jacket but though I don't care for the print. I think I would like it better if you would style it a bit funkier - so switch out the pearls for some other chunky necklace maybe? </p> <p>I also bought my chunky pearls on ebay - they were so cheap but the quality was fantastic. Truly one of my best jewelry purchases ever! </p> <p>I was in your neck of the woods today - I hit up the Urban Outfitters on Broadway to try on the skinny jeans that Shiny mentioned. I ended up buying the jeans as well as a cute floppy straw hat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70209 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 22:44:37 +0000 taylor 70209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you do colors,!! but if I HAD to choose a fav. It would be #4 I love how you did the vest w/denim and punched it up with your shoes...perfect:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70203 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 22:22:28 +0000 Maya 70203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just thinking about that today Bella. I don't know what the solution is. I think Sarah asked about this just a few days ago but I don't know if it reached a resolution. Patience said she just wears sandals and makes sure to avoid puddles! But of course she lives in Texas. I don't think it gets quite as hot here in the northeast.</p> <p>Kate Spade makes some adorable rain shoes:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7415232/c/149631.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7415232/c/149631.html</a></p> <p>But I am skeptical as to how dry your feet would stay. I mean, they are basically rubber ballet flats. Water would get in easily regardless of the material. </p> <p>Oxfords maybe? I think no matter what you would have to end up in a closed shoe because nothing else will keep the rain out.</p> <p>BTW, regarding the jacket, I would be surprised if Old Navy didn't do price adjustments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70188 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 20:50:11 +0000 Anonymous 70188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the intensity of the green and pink. You have great taste in coordinating colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70185 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 20:38:21 +0000 Asha 70185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of them, you look great as always. I think you look so chic in the waistcoat outfit - simple and elegant at once. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70153 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:15:08 +0000 rute 70153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great syle! Excelent work with colors.. the way you mix green and pink is so funky! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70152 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:15:04 +0000 kimlee 70152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful! Both dresses look fantastic. I would call this week's outfits a smashing success!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70151 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:09:47 +0000 bella 70151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Maya. I've been really thinking about your question on footwear on rainy days. The weather here is still cold enough that I can get away with boots on most days, besides they keep my feet warm and toasty in the freezing library even in the warmest days. But I still want to find an option that would work on hot, humid and rainy summer days. Let me me know if you find a solution. So far, my solution is either boots with skirts or fashion sneakers with jeans, neither of which make me very happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70149 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:04:54 +0000 Maya 70149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great week as always. I don't know if I would like the dress on its own but that is a very personal/subjective statement--I just don't care for the pattern. BUT I like how you have worn it and it seems to fit you well.</p> <p>Everything else is lovely. The first one especially is so colorful and springy, even with the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70144 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 18:57:39 +0000 bella 70144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Vani, this is it:</p> <p><a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5448&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=610900&#038;scid=610900012" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/.....=610900012</a></p> <p>I just realized that it went on sale. After stalking it for weeks, I finally caved in 2 weeks ago and purchased it at full price. Oh well, I've been wearing it practically everyday ever since so I guess it was worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70143 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 18:53:49 +0000 Vani 70143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella, fab as ever! Love the pink with green in the Monday outfit. The blue dree on Tuesday looks great paired with the denim jacket. Love the colors and the necklace in the Wednesday outfit. The Thursday outfit is so cool! I really like the great accents on that color palette, white necklace and red shoes.</p> <p>Is that jacket from this season at ON? I really need a denim jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bella-outfits-0601#post-70111 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 17:10:27 +0000 bella 70111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't posted outfits in a while. Now that my teaching responsibilities for the semester are over, my outfits are usually more casual and I have been too lazy to take pictures. My outfits from this week: </p> <p>1) Monday:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26160917@N03/3585943708/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....585943708/</a></p> <p>2) Tuesday<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26160917@N03/3589439651/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....otostream/</a><br /> I am a bit unsure about this dress. It is super comfy though. What do you think?</p> <p>3) Wednesday<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26160917@N03/3593619417/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....otostream/</a></p> <p>4) Thursday<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26160917@N03/3594836203/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....otostream/</a></p> <p>All comments and feedback welcome!
