You should wear it often. Even better that it's a rescue of an old orphan--I love doing that too! And #1 is a close second--smart and polished and love the snakeskin flats. Really all of them are superb. Love your texture mixing and blogger pose in #5 too (I had fun copying the poses myself). You did a great job copying the inspirations while being creative and making them your own! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-777109 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 07:39:22 +0000 Ingunn 777109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida an Joy, thank you! Aida, pushing bondaries is the best way to learn something new. DD is watching over her bag like a hawk, no chance for me there:) This challenge was fun, and I might try some more copycat stunts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776943 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 01:51:02 +0000 Anonymous 776943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Each of these is a gem! Just amazing! You should wear them all regularly. You have a wonderful eye for what works together and for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776937 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 01:45:30 +0000 Aida 776937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow you had a great week Ingunn! I think you did am especially good job pushing yourself with #2 and #5; the cream sweater really lets your pretty hair take more of the stage which I just love, and the textures in #5 are SUCH a great mix (plus the BOOTS! so good). You mentioned that you don't have the exact pieces, but I think that's perfectly wonderful! The pieces of yours that you used in their places are what really make the outfits special and YOU. Though I think DD should keep an eye on that fabulous cross body bag in #1, that just seems like it should be yours </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776754 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:44:55 +0000 Ingunn 776754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Deborah! I think you are spot on here. #1, #3 and also #4 are within my comfort zone indeed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776726 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:18:06 +0000 Deborah 776726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn such fab outfits. I love 1-4 and appreciate 5 but feel as you suggest that it's didn't quite hit the mark. From what I know of your style I would have said 1,3 and 4 represent your style best. I find 4 a very sleek and sharp outfit. You look relaxed and comfortable in these 3 in particular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776661 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:28:55 +0000 Caro in Oz 776661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all such great interpretations Ingunn I particularly like #1 &amp; #3 too. I agree with jr that the skirt in the original #5 is what makes the outfit for me but I love #5 on you as a look. How are you feeling about your style now? Do you feel it has shifted at all? I feel as though you are really putting everything together in such an interesting way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776636 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:11:29 +0000 Ingunn 776636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Claire, for your concern and for the boost - I'm sure your wardrobe and mine would get along really well! </p> <p>renee0217, Mary and RunnerRae, thank you! I'm very happy that you like my versions.</p> <p>JulieJohn, an incognito rock star! Hahaha, how great! Thank you for making me feel fab:) I had great fun with this, and with #5 in particular. </p> <p>DonnaF, thanks a lot! I actually have a cat, but he is not long haired, though. I'll use him as an accessory next time I urge for maximalism:) I appreciate what you say about pushing my style envelope, and I think you are right about that. I felt fine in both #4 and #5. This was an interesting exercise for me.</p> <p>Thank you, LIsa! The sequin top idea sounds interesting. I don't own anything like that, but that might easily change. </p> <p>JR, thank you for your honest feedback. I'm pleased that you like #1-#4. I did struggle a lot more with #5 than with the others, and you are pointing out a few reasons why. Still, under the given circumstances, I kind of like the result. The striped top should have been black and gray, not navy and gray. That would have helped. And another skirt, too. </p> <p>Denise, thank you! You always seem to give constructive and to-the-point critique, so this means a lot to me. This time I imitated the masters, which made the process a whole lot easier. They did the thinking. I'll do my best to keep it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776560 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:58:43 +0000 CocoLion 776560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suddenly your style has skyrocketed to the advanced level Ingunn! #1 and #5 are so, so fab. You are really coming into your own.</p> <p>Thank you for posting everything together, I love seeing multiple WIWs together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776555 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:56:27 +0000 JR 776555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourites are #1-4. :o) You look classy, which is high praise in my books.</p> <p>#5 is fine, but what I really loved in the inspiration photo was the rich gold and black of the skirt. Losing that element meant you lost the punch. And the individual elements you chose just don't seem to have a wonderful chemistry together, although each of them is fine on its own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776544 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:52:04 +0000 Lisa 776544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great copycat outfits. I adore stripes so my personal favorites are 1 and 5. I think your pinstripe button down could be fun layered with a light colored sequin/sparkle style tank in an outfit remix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776421 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:33:35 +0000 DonnaF 776421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all these, but in particular I liked #4 because I felt like it pushed your classic style just a bit. I felt like #5 was pushing your style envelope even more, so I was wondering how you felt in it. I thought you did a great job of emulating A-P's maximal look. Umm, but maybe you could have placed a long-haired cat on your bag to get that fuzzy look on top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776406 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:13:28 +0000 JulieJohn 776406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Ingunn, these are so lovely on you! My favorite is #5, because you look like an incognito rock star! Your interpretation is even better with the tan boots, and your blogger pose is spot-on. I hope you had fun because they are all fun outfits. Here's hoping for a healthy, happy head! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776398 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:01:49 +0000 Raisin 776398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, these are all amazing! If I had to pick I think #4 would be my favorite, but just by a hair, because they are really all that good. I can't think of a single thing to change! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776393 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 17:54:29 +0000 Anonymous 776393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look absolutely wonderful!!!!! Your copycat choices were very interesting and your interpretation was GREAT!!!!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776375 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 17:33:26 +0000 renee0217 776375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You were spot on with your copycats. I like had you made each outfit your own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776325 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:11:21 +0000 Anonymous 776325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is hilarious Ingunn, that your wardrobe wants to run and hide, lol! I think you have a fantastic wardrobe. My wardrobe wants to be friends and share with yours!!</p> <p>What a great bunch of copycats. The first look has a special place in my heart because I could/would wear something similar. I hope your migraines let up soon. I hear they are the worst! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776279 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 15:35:02 +0000 Ingunn 776279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much, Shannon! How nice of you to say that. I think #1 and #3 are the outfits that represent *me* best here, but all of them feel like me more or less. </p> <p>Thank you, Suz, I'm getting better again now, and I've started a process with therapy which I think will help me to cope with this in the long run. I've also bought a new bed - finally. This should have been done long ago. Next week I'm seeing a new doctor, and I hope he will be able to help me, too. Thank you for analyzing my outfits so thoroughly. I think you are spot on! #1 will definitely be worn many times, and I plan to buy another pair of semi-structured trousers that can be used as substitute in #2. #3 is an old love, I've had it several seasons. #4 - the jacket is my faithful BR blazer from San Diego! It goes with everything in my wardrobe, and was money well spent. #5 is not the most successful emulation here, I know, but it was fun to try! I mean - she IS beautiful and fabulous, after all, and has a wardrobe that makes mine run and hide. But a girl can dream anyway:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776215 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:30:59 +0000 Suz 776215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Ingunn - these are fabulous! </p> <p>But first, I hope you are feeling a whole lot better. </p> <p>I love your inspirations and I love your interpretations, and I am not sure which one I like the best; every one of these is great. #1 is perfect on you; the brown bag works really well with your hair and adds a nice touch, and the chelsea boots would look every bit as good as the flats. That's an outfit I can see you wearing again and again. </p> <p>Ditto on #2. The purples in the scarf are beautiful with your colouring and you did a really nice job of echoing the original even though your trousers are a different shape entirely. </p> <p>Love your dress in #3!! </p> <p>As for #4 - K-worthy! I hope you will get a night out in that outfit really soon. You look fantastic. What IS that jacket, by the way? It seems to work with so many outfits. </p> <p>And #5!!! A-P is a tough act to follow (as I know all too well, since I have been trying to copy her all week). I just love your blogger attitude. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776212 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:27:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 776212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness Ingunn - you are INCREDIBLE! I literally am unable to pick a favourite copycat look here. You have represented these all brilliantly. Well done.</p> <p>I'm curious about something - since we are just learning about your style (which is fab BTW) - was there one of these outfits that stood out for you? one that felt most like "you"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-challenge-roundup-long#post-776203 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:17:18 +0000 Ingunn 776203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear YLF,</p> <p>I've had great fun during this challenge, and I've seen so many inspirational outfits from all of you, too! Due to my recent setback with migraine, I didn't get started until Wednesday.</p> <p>Finding time for taking photos this week wasn't easy, and I finally had to cheat by recreating the outfits today instead. I <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anybody-up-for-a-blogger-copycat-week-nov-12-16">posted a few suggestions</a> that I would choose from in the beginning of the week. I've worn three of the outfits and played with two. The last one has to be postponed because the t-shirt I need is nowhere to be found in my household - it belongs to a teenager, nuff said!</p> <p>The blogger outfits I chose was selected because I find them inspiring, but also with what I have in my wardrobe in mind. I haven't bought anything new, but I have borrowed a little. </p> <p>#1: Angie's Golden Oldies<br /> Wednesday, working in my office: I was inspired by <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/09/03/casual-comfort-with-golden-oldies/">Angie's casual golden oldies</a> and tried to recreate it with what I have. I don't have a denim shirt, so it had to be a pinstriped cotton button down instead. I don't have the selection of shoes and bags that I could wish for, but I borrowed my daughter's crossover bag, only for the photo shoot. I wear my specs, a watch, and my snakeskin flats. Outside this is too cold now, so I wore Chelsea boots in black when commuting. </p> <p>#2: Angie's Semi Structured Ensemble<br /> Thursday I wore this at work (meetings, teaching etc). I loved <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/07/21/ensemble-the-semi-structured-trouser-look/">this outfit</a> when Angie posted it, but I lack most of the elements to recreate it properly, really. I tried to juxtapose the colors and emulate it as best as i could. I wore brown booties instead of light ones, because I don't have that. I wore a patterned scarf, but I wish it would have been bigger. Otherwise I think this was ok, very comfortable and perfect for my job. </p> <p>#3: Allie's Monday Gray<br /> Friday, working from home: When I saw <a href="http://www.wardrobeoxygen.com/2012/10/monday-gray-with-green.html">this outfit</a> on Wardrobe Oxygen, I instantly thought about my gray a-line wool dress (Mette Møller). I think the original outfit lacks some punch, but I added dotted tights and a necklace to get more texture. </p> <p>And then I played a little in my closet, too, but these outfits haven't been worn yet:</p> <p>#4: Daytime Sparkle<br /> I have a glitter top that I never wear, but I have kept it agains all odds for almost ten years. I thought <a href="http://www.wardrobeoxygen.com/2012/10/friday-daytime-sequins.html">this outfit</a> by Allie on Wardrobe Oxygen was inspirational, and tried to emulate it. I don't have boyfriend jeans, and sky hight heels are not work appropriate for me, but these Clarks are low heeled and comfy enough. I think I could easily wear this at at night out with friends. </p> <p>#5: Fall Mix by Atlantic Pacific (with blogger pose!)<br /> I loved the <a href="http://atlantic-pacific.blogspot.no/2012/10/fall-mix.html">colors and the silhouette</a> in this outfit. Again, I don't have the exact garments, but I picked my black bomber jacket, a bouclè skirt, cognac heeled boots, and I layered a black turtle neck under a striped top in gray and navy. I also added my Wayfarers to get the right attitude. Then I tried to pose the blogger way :)</p> <p>So - five blog inspirations turned into five outfits. How did I do? What is your favorite among these? Comments are always appreciated. Thanks for looking! </p>
