Great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copying-angie-copying-pinterest#post-1094133 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 03:27:00 +0000 Anonymous 1094133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! To me, it looks sort of geek-chic with an emphasis on the chic part. Not preppy at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copying-angie-copying-pinterest#post-1094119 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 03:14:57 +0000 Jaime 1094119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that jacket (big surprise)!

Something metal would add a lot of RATE, I think.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copying-angie-copying-pinterest#post-1093929 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 01:06:39 +0000 Suz 1093929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie and Sveta said! You look terrific to me. And not at all prep.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copying-angie-copying-pinterest#post-1093923 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 01:01:20 +0000 Mia 1093923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look! &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copying-angie-copying-pinterest#post-1093892 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 00:41:24 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1093892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks fab - you did a great job putting this copycat look together. </p> <p>And I think you have gorgeous hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copying-angie-copying-pinterest#post-1093883 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 00:37:35 +0000 Greyscale 1093883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I'm not petite, but with my long torso and short legs, the ideal blazer should be a few inches shorter than this one. But I love this one so much that I made an exception. I considered getting it shortened but as long as I wear it with jeans rather than the matching trousers I think it's ok. </p> <p>These jeans are a bit distressed (r13 slouch jeans) - it just doesn't come through in the photo. I agree that it helps make it more casual. Next time maybe I'll try really shredded jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copying-angie-copying-pinterest#post-1093848 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 00:13:39 +0000 Sveta 1093848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the length I would love my blazers to be at!<br />Una is our resident RATE Queen so her advice is golden here! But not being a RATE person I like it as is </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copying-angie-copying-pinterest#post-1093842 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 00:09:55 +0000 Angie 1093842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous. Great job, and well done. I love your red hair with the slate grey tones of this outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>There is nothing Preppy about this look to my eye.&nbsp;</p> <p>Do you wear faded and shredded jeans? That would amp up the RATE factor.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also Greyscale,&nbsp;are you petite? That's a pretty long blazer to wear with flats, but the column of colour helps create flattering proportions. If the blazer had been high contrast, the proportions would not have worked as well.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love that you love your outfit. Brilliant.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copying-angie-copying-pinterest#post-1093839 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 00:05:35 +0000 carambola 1093839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! It doesn't read as preppy to me with the long blazer, Cons, almost all black, and your specs. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copying-angie-copying-pinterest#post-1093830 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 23:59:26 +0000 catgirl 1093830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sassy-cool!&nbsp; I can see Ceit in this also - possible style twin?<br /> &nbsp; To RATE it up, I'd push up or roll the sleeves.&nbsp; Or change one element - jacket to leather, pants to distressed, shoes to scuffed boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copying-angie-copying-pinterest#post-1093829 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 23:56:38 +0000 Hestonian 1093829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this look on you. If you wanted to make it more RATE and less prep, what do you think about switching out a prep element: replacing the blazer with an edgier, moto-esque topper, or keeping the blazer and swapping out the sweater and collared shirt for an embellished t-shirt and a cool necklace? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copying-angie-copying-pinterest#post-1093805 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 23:42:46 +0000 minimalist 1093805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say "More contrast in the blouse, to pick up the light of the sneakers" but then looked again and saw that your Cons are blue/white, so the shirt actually works really well. And I like your use of a tank instead of a full sweater. </p> <p>Do the sleeves of this blazer push up at all? Seems like that's one thing Angie does a lot, to relax an outfit. </p> <p>The look overall still has a pretty strong prep vibe; I'm not sure how else to un-prep a blazer and blouse. Will be very interested in Angie's input here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copying-angie-copying-pinterest#post-1093789 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 23:33:04 +0000 carter 1093789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it. To me, the converse take it out of the prep realm. However, I might be way off base since prior to joining YLF a few weeks ago, I would have thought converse were just for old-time NBA players;-) To me, they're pretty edgy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copying-angie-copying-pinterest#post-1093773 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 23:24:08 +0000 rachylou 1093773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Combo looks great! Could this be a universal outfit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copying-angie-copying-pinterest#post-1093753 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 23:10:16 +0000 Greyscale 1093753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's outfit post today lined up perfectly with my hope of wearing my super comfortable converse in a fun context. </p> <p>I'm not in love with the blouse - I've had it almost ten years, it's too big a and too long for this look, and it's missing a button. I'd love to find a slim pullover to wear in this outfit instead, but I feel great in what I'm wearing!</p> <p>The sweater later is a cashmere tank - too warm for a long-sleeve sweater today. </p> <p>Suggestions on how to push it more RATE and less prep? </p>
