Absolutely love that look on you. It's very dynamic and put together. </p> <p>A shame for your fushia pants. No hopes of transforming them into high hem cigarette pants à la Audrey Hepburn (and similar to the inspiration post)?</p> <p>The scarf addition is genius. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-777152 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 12:56:34 +0000 Sveta 777152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What can I say, Suz? Thinkinh through th outfit and not substituting th comfort for the sake of appearence really pays back because I thing this outfit is amazing! Love it al including the "old lady" brooch!<br /> Is this BR denim shirt you wear here? I find that min is not verry good for layering ecause it is a relaxed fit. I am considering to tak it in a bit to reduce the bulk... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-777134 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 10:58:34 +0000 goldenpig 777134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing scarf tie and brooch! I'm so glad you brought out your leopard for me! Rowr!</p> <p>And you look fantastic in taupe, by the way. I wish I could wear that color like you do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-777119 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 09:04:06 +0000 Lyn D. 777119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks super-Fab Suz, and I agree with the other comments about the brooch on the scarf being both original and terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-777115 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 08:30:18 +0000 Asingh 777115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I'm loving your recent outfit posts, and like your version much better and wearable than the bloggers'! I have the pieces you've used in this outfit and might try a version of the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-777072 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 04:54:43 +0000 Kiwichik 777072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is much more you &amp; I love the brooch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-777063 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 04:25:43 +0000 Gaylene 777063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a fabulous interpretation; I like your version better than the original! Suz, you have come so far in this past year--even the point of getting the tag "Suzified" to describe your distinctive style. I think it was the mention of the fuchsia pantsuit which really made me stop and reflect on how far you've come on your style journey. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-777037 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 03:54:11 +0000 Freckles 777037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great interpretation Suz and I love how you've done your scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776960 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 01:59:06 +0000 Anonymous 776960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for explaining the scarf process. I got to GP's thread after this. Nothing old and aging about how you wear leopard. If it's man-repelling, that's their loss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776940 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 01:46:53 +0000 Debora 776940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, this just stunning on you and love your taupe sweater! The scarf and brooch make the outfit. Well done!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776923 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 01:37:03 +0000 Aida 776923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhhh I have been dying to see you do #1 with those fuchsia pants! They didn't work out? Dang. Regardless, #4 is brilliant (and I'm somewhat selfishly glad you got the taupe sweater, it really is amazing for you). Adding the bracelets AND the broach is a very nice touch, and I am happy to see those coated skinnies come out. Suz, I am clearly really into seeing very casual bottoms on you (coated skinnies! distressed denims!) since you have a natural elegance; it's instant dramatic juxtaposition! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776916 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 01:32:56 +0000 Caro in Oz 776916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taupephiphany is a really great word.<br /> Taupe-tastic you are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776745 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:37:23 +0000 MsMary 776745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE THIS!! And I have similar pieces so must get to copying ASAP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776729 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:20:22 +0000 morethanbeige 776729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I love this look on you. And I also love the brooch. Interesting and unexpected </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776689 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:52:12 +0000 Deborah 776689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz you have certainly done AP proud. I love your outfit and that broach is stunning. No question taupe is just fab on you. Clever interpretation... You have made it yours/) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776635 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:11:11 +0000 annagybe 776635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the brooch on the scarf. It could look matronly if not done right but it looks very current. I think the leopard helps too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776621 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:01:04 +0000 JulieJohn 776621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap - Ha! Taupephiphany is a really great word!!!</p> <p>Suz, this is so beautiful on you. I agree with Zap that the taupe decision was just so right for you. I also am loving taupe and thinking about it a lot, kind of like a mink color, or just exactly the shade of hot cocoa. I have a taupe turtleneck, but must add more because it just looks so rich and yet so simple.</p> <p>You have a really great knack for mixing interesting textures which elevates your outfits far above the norm! And the brooch is gorgeous.</p> <p>May I just also take a moment to say your face is lovely, your best fashion item by far! Thanks for the close up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776619 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 20:58:55 +0000 JR 776619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how the colours of the shirt and sweater echo the colours of your hair and eyes. Just wonderful. That brooch was an unexpected touch, and so much fun.</p> <p>I'm not familiar with A-P, but her tastes are definitely more "maximal" than mine. I like your toned-down version much better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776539 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:50:32 +0000 Ingunn 776539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything here, Suz! You take those A-P outfits and create independent interpretations that stand on their own, evolving into something I can relate to on another level than the original. This is poetry! You are so creative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776507 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:36:33 +0000 Sona 776507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>very fab scarf styling an dlove the look. you are one stylish work from home mom!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776506 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:34:53 +0000 Suz 776506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everybody. I should thank MaryK again for the challenge (which taught me a lot, as they inevitably do) and also GP for her leopard thread this morning, which got me thinking! </p> <p>The scarf...oh, how have I tied it? I wish I could give a tutorial, but basically, I've just wrapped it around twice, tied an ordinary knot, 'fluffed" that knot so it lies a little better, and then tucked the ends underneath. They stay because the scarf is not a slippery fabric and it is snug enough that they don't come loose. </p> <p>It's funny. I love scarves and wear them a lot. But I don't generally like them when they hang down very long in front (on me especially, but often even on others...I should have added that to my poison eye comments). And, despite that, I have never given a scarf tying tutorial the attention I ought to give it! I know they exist, and I should really learn how to tie mine better. </p> <p>The brooch is fun, isn't it? I sometimes wear it on a cummerbund belt, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776501 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:28:05 +0000 amiable 776501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776492 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:22:09 +0000 Sara L. 776492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the brooch on the scarf! I always see brooches at the thrift store and think "what would I do with that?". I may actually buy one next time just so I can do something cool with a scarf like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776487 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:19:42 +0000 bj1111 776487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what i like about this adaptation is that you get the "flavor" of the inspiration shots adapted to your reality. after all, fashion should fit our real lives, not just our imaginary one!</p> <p>the brooch is all kinds of awesome. plus...this is a very modern way to wear leopard (see previous convo started by goldenpig.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776480 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:16:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 776480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack! Brilliant! Love the "old lady brooch" and how you've tied your scarf. Like Joy, would love a quick run down of how you tied it.</p> <p>This is a great interpretation and totally "Suzified". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776469 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:09:14 +0000 Anonymous 776469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You knocked it out of the park! Love this! How did you do your scarf? Is it tied in the back? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776460 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:04:59 +0000 Isis 776460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so great! The "old lady" touches of the vintage broach + leopard scarf on an otherwise modern outfit send this to another level! Love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776458 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:04:15 +0000 nancylee 776458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your interpretation, Suz. This challenge is really bringing out your creativity; I've been enjoying your looks all week. And a happiness factor of 10 is hard to beat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-day-5-stripes-and-sparkle#post-776457 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:04:11 +0000 Anonymous 776457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap's dropped jaw factor :10<br /> I am so glad you had your taupepiphany. That color is brilliant on you. I do not check AP's blog too much, perhaps I should! </p>
