The red and black is stand out. Awesome ensemble! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/channelling-the-spirit-of-ylf#post-676989 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 16:25:41 +0000 merwoman 676989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally agree with you JR! There's the thrill of the hunt and scoring a good deal!<br /> I'm such a cheapie - I keep the receipts from purchases in my purse, because so often the following week the item is on sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/channelling-the-spirit-of-ylf#post-676968 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 16:11:59 +0000 JR 676968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous.</p> <p>And I don't know about you, but when I can do that cheap, it makes it all the more satisfying. LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/channelling-the-spirit-of-ylf#post-676964 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 16:10:04 +0000 merwoman 676964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies for your very kind words!</p> <p>QPS - I'm mad for dots as well, and did try a tuck, - just didn't look right to my eye. I like the longer line created by leaving the shell and cami out - I'm long bodied so I think this works better for me. </p> <p>AJ - I'm realizing that B&amp;W is a wardrobe staple for me - resistance is futile. Love the examples of Karen and other YLFers in this palette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/channelling-the-spirit-of-ylf#post-676950 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 15:46:18 +0000 AJ 676950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lovely outfit, Merwoman! I'm very drawn to b&amp;w outfits. The red shoes and pearls are excellent finishing touches! </p> <p>Kudos on your remixing epiphany! That was key to my style journey....outfits need not be stand alone. Remix to your heart's content! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/channelling-the-spirit-of-ylf#post-676949 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 15:45:16 +0000 qpswan 676949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely, lovely, lovely!</p> <p>I would love to see the top tucked in to show off the polka dots. Did you try it? I think it would really show off your tiny waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/channelling-the-spirit-of-ylf#post-676942 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 15:38:35 +0000 merwoman 676942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I love about YLF in addition to the tremendously supportive network of beautiful women (inside and out) is how much I learn! Today I realized with a little effort on my part – I can use the versatility of my clothes to create countless ensembles…and dress them up or down as the occasion demands. And on a limited budget! It is soo instructive to read everyone’s postings and reflect on the style journey we are all taking.<br /> I’m so excited about this latest outfit I’ve put together – I feel like I’m channeling so many YLFers in it. Loved Angie’s birthday outfit – so when I saw this black lace shell at The Bay –(Vero Moda - $35.00) I scooped it up. Rummaging through DD’s closet ( a la JR!) I spied this lovely B&amp;W skirt. Probably a few years old (DD’s clothes have an extremely short shelf life). Seems it originated from Ricki’s. I had been looking for long strand of pearls and managed to find some finally in my budget – Aldos – 12.00 per strand. I think I had one of Deborah’s wedding outfits in mind when I put the whole thing together. So thrilled with how comfortable it feels!<br /> I’m very conscious that quality pieces that cost more will stand the test of time. But until I figure out what feels best for me I am happy taking these baby steps. Thank you all for so openly sharing your style! </p>
