You have taken her outfits and adapted them for real life, I love the inspiration! Kudos to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-774136 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 05:33:33 +0000 Anonymous 774136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So K--ute! I can say that, right? Love these. I understand your discomfort with the layers, even though you looked fab. I LOVE the second outfit. The tights tend to make the short skirt look less short, if YKWIM. I long to wear black and navy, but most of my navies are so dark that you don't really get to appreciate that there is a contrast. Your coat is amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-774131 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 05:26:01 +0000 catgirl 774131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOOK AT YOU! </p> <p>Your second look is SO K-worthy! Both are, actually - should I award them in Angie's absence? I can't believe how stunning you are in a black t-neck. You are making me jealous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-774129 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 05:23:19 +0000 Beth Ann 774129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Take inspiration anywhere you find it, Suz. These are fabulous, and, while they aren't your "signature" looks, you've adapted them very well to your style. Keep it coming! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-774039 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 03:21:58 +0000 sinead 774039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are both great and I especially love #2 with the turtleneck. It has a sort of mod-60's vibe going on that looks fab on you. And I agree with Shevia, these are wonderful lessons in how to inspiration photos and make them our own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-774036 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 03:18:24 +0000 Carole 774036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are absolutely fantastic, but 2 wins my heart, just love love love everything about it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773993 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 02:16:46 +0000 soobee 773993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great interpretations of A-P. I love her outfits, although my figure and climate are so far removed from her that I may as well be on the moon:) You, on the other hand, have the figure to carry off those outfits and look every bit as chic. I'm especially loving the second outfit, YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773992 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 02:15:42 +0000 Jaime 773992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you look in both outfits and think you really took what you wanted from the inspiration pictures. The color block coat is divine on you. I am so impressed how you hitched up your skirt and went with a mini, and look fantastic with it. The white jeans look great with the jacket and layers, but no need to wear something uncomfortable when you have so many great looks that feel great too. With this week's challenge posts I feel like I am receiving a graduate level course in how to work with inspiration photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773983 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 02:01:38 +0000 goldenpig 773983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both of these outfits! Brilliant interpretations and you look so fab in both of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773978 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 01:57:35 +0000 Suz 773978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I DO, Shannon! They are so lightweight and I just love how they make me taller yet I don't feel "fussy" in them. I also like the shape of the toe; there is a delicacy to it (despite their being sort of like a combat boot in every other way.) </p> <p>The only thing that still drives me nuts is that the tongue on mine still wrangles around (won't stay put.) People gave me smart solutions to this problem when I posted about it but then I stopped wearing them over the summer; I need to return to that thread to solve it. </p> <p>Thank you for your kind words. I think there is enough that is "me" in that second outfit (navy, turtleneck, military touches, funnel neck coat, soft texture, Marcies) that the part that isn't me (short skirt...really, that's it) gives it the added tension or twist that makes it fun to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773976 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 01:53:19 +0000 Transcona Shannon 773976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't stop looking at your second outfit Suz - the layers and the colour mix is just gorgeous on you. It is indeed different than your usual style but gosh....it looks fantastic! That colour blocked coat is fab and is going to work really well for you. Wore my Marcie's today too - don't you just love them more and more each time you wear them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773973 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 01:52:19 +0000 Suz 773973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah. You are right, Sveta. I didn't wear them because they feel like warm weather booties. But really, I should have. They do look better with the white jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773966 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 01:48:00 +0000 Sveta 773966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The booties in #1 are not your Report ones, right? I think Report booties are lighter in color and may look better with white jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773914 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 00:51:39 +0000 Suz 773914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, I know exactly what you mean. She had it right with her pretty Tory Burch shoes (I think that's what she is wearing). But I couldn't do it in my weather (not to mention the fact that I had nothing even remotely similar.) Well...I DO have some purple slingbacks I could have posed in, but it wouldn't have been real life at all. I couldn't wear them. And I decided to do this challenge as a *wear* it challenge. I can interpret however I want as long as I actually *wear* the darn outfit. So....wrong shoes. sigh...</p> <p>Mochi, the layering problem is partly a matter of my actual clothes. My gingham shirt is a BF shirt. The layering tank was snug and so it was tough to make it feel okay (even though it looked all right). It was also partly a matter of me not really wanting so many layers. I think I am into more streamlined, minimalist looks these days. So it's ironic I have chosen a maximalist or at least an ALGO blogger to copy!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773912 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 00:48:02 +0000 krishnidoux 773912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I far more prefer your interpretations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773859 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:57:14 +0000 TraceyLiz65 773859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did an incredible job here and I loved reading your take on how each outfit fits into your life... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773851 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:51:10 +0000 CocoLion 773851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your second outfit Suz. It's flawless. The first is great too except I'm seeing different footwear -- something lighter in color or more lightweight in character (but that is the trouble with white jeans in the fall, isn't it)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773842 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:42:26 +0000 Anonymous 773842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second outfit kills me. You look tall and sleek and lovely! Those Marcies make the outfit and I love your creativity in fitting the inspiration to your existing pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773841 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:42:10 +0000 Deborah 773841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dare I say it, but your outfits express more personality in my mind. I do love AP and check out her outfits daily but... maybe it's cos I 'know' you. You look fab and you more than do justice to AP's outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773820 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:25:03 +0000 merwoman 773820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah!! I far prefer your interpretation to the original. Love the Vince Camuto coat on you - fits and suits you perfectly.<br /> ...and to think you were going to dye those white jeans...(shakes head, smiles and and hits submit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773809 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:13:16 +0000 Mochi 773809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's interesting when our instincts reject a look that is visually appealing, which I think the first look is. On some other person, those layers might not have been noticeable. And again, fascinating that you uncovered an unexpectedly delightful look that really suits you. It's arty and atmospheric, but you are wearing it and not vice versa. </p> <p>Can I add that I keep falling in love with those Doc Marcies on you? If I weren't wedge-averse, I would be seriously considering them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773805 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:10:13 +0000 MsMary 773805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you kidding me? These are fab! A-P should be so chic!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773802 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:05:07 +0000 Sveta 773802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, your adventures in blogger copycat are awesome!<br /> Is this a new color blocked coat - I don't remember seeing it before. It looks great and color combination of dark blu and black is so sophisticated...<br /> I have a flared 'just-above-the-knee' skirt I have difficulty styling and you inspired me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773780 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:31:48 +0000 JR 773780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I see it now. That would soften the impact a bit, all right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773778 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:27:42 +0000 Suz 773778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! Mona, I am glad I am not alone in my despair about this city sometimes....</p> <p>It's actually navy near my face (both sweater and top of coat are navy) so that is one reason I felt okay in it, I think. It makes a small yet noticeable difference. Not noticeable in photos, but noticeable in real life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773775 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:24:15 +0000 JR 773775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of them, myself. I don't find the multiple layers to be a problem, at least to look at, but if they were bunching, probably not a good idea to try again.</p> <p>You are looking much happier in black, strangely enough. But it does look great on you, at least in this iteration.</p> <p>I wish I had joined this forum years ago. I would have thought of getting some tall Docs to fix my boot problem, something that would have never occurred to me on my own. (It never did, there's the proof.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773774 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:23:42 +0000 Janet 773774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look terrific! I love that you chose something truly challenging for yourself. I especially love #2 -- it's unexpected yet very you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773773 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:23:10 +0000 Mona 773773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, your comment about living in a small, very casual city makes me sigh. I dont work from home but I find people dress up so casually here.<br /> You dont have some of her attributes but that is what the challenge is all about. You take an outfit and make it your own. I think you have done it brilliantly. I like both your outfits but my favourite is #2. You look so comfy and huggable in your black jersey dress and turtle neck. Red bag and leopard scarf add a lot of pizzaz.<br /> I am also a big fan of daytime sequins. It is too bad that these layers were not comfortable enough. I am almost tempted to copy this look with my white long and leans from GAP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773772 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:19:53 +0000 Caro in Oz 773772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that you found a different look for you, through doing this challenge. I love both looks on you too - the shorter skirt looks fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blogger-copycat-week-days-1-2#post-773770 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:19:16 +0000 Raisin 773770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your looks Suz! The inspirations were great, and your takes we're great too. Gotta get me some white jeans like that... </p>
