I love how each year is a slightly pared down version of the last, without losing anything style-wise. Great evolution! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3-this-time-last-year-i-wore-edition-2014#post-1172402 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 13:23:16 +0000 Suz 1172402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous, Ornella. I absolutely adore #1 and see it as a perfect illustration of how you have refined your style. Love that neckline on you. And JAileen is right -- you look younger every day.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3-this-time-last-year-i-wore-edition-2014#post-1172280 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 05:40:37 +0000 JAileen 1172280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's interesting, you look younger than you did in your earlier pictures. I couldn't figure it out, but I think it's your hair, especially the bangs. You look great! I love the striped skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3-this-time-last-year-i-wore-edition-2014#post-1172278 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 05:39:33 +0000 Beth Ann 1172278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mission accomplished!&nbsp; You have a strong, feminine silhouette here, nicely balanced and flattering!&nbsp; The neckline is perfect for you, and will work for 3 seasons in your climate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3-this-time-last-year-i-wore-edition-2014#post-1172188 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 04:06:11 +0000 Neel 1172188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your poses the best!! And I vote 2014 as my favorite too :). I love this exercise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3-this-time-last-year-i-wore-edition-2014#post-1172168 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 03:47:29 +0000 Jaime 1172168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my favorite outfits on you ever - what Day Vies said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3-this-time-last-year-i-wore-edition-2014#post-1171941 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 22:46:07 +0000 Day Vies 1171941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you look so chic and stream lined. I especially love the addition of the scarf. #3 looks like a dress. I love them all. I am not sure what the others have said (I'm too busy trying to get my own thoughts out before I forget) but the most recent iteration is my favorite. It's as if your style has evolved to a less is more mantra where color and pattern do most of the work of creating interest. Ornella you're like fine wine only getting better with time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3-this-time-last-year-i-wore-edition-2014#post-1171935 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 22:40:55 +0000 Ornella 1171935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all.</p> <p><b>Elizabeth</b> :: I think you've secured this cardigan another lease of life by calling the ruffles structured. Suddenly I'm eager to wear it again (but not before I finish this week's experiment).</p> <p><b>Joy</b> :: I'd encourage you to try it. It is very interesting and insightful exercise too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3-this-time-last-year-i-wore-edition-2014#post-1171580 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 17:03:02 +0000 Anonymous 1171580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is inspiring! It looks like about a year ago I was taking part in Sona's dress challenge. I want to try that again although I have the same three winter dresses now as then and the weather is a bit too cold again to layer summer dresses. Maybe in a couple do weeks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3-this-time-last-year-i-wore-edition-2014#post-1171508 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:08:28 +0000 Elizabeth P 1171508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a great series!&nbsp; You inspired me to do the same today... will post tonight.</p> <p>I love this cardigan, when I read "ruffled" I must admit I thought "ruffles, on Ornella?", but this is perfect.&nbsp; Very structured ruffles.&nbsp; Glad it's still in your closet!&nbsp; Once again, I can see the style evolution, though all the outfits are great.&nbsp; I also just realized I missed one... must go seek it out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3-this-time-last-year-i-wore-edition-2014#post-1171472 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:41:18 +0000 carter 1171472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your poses are too cute! I love #1. That shade of red is so beautiful on you. I prefer this lipstick on you as well. So fun to see these. Keep 'em coming! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3-this-time-last-year-i-wore-edition-2014#post-1171470 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:39:44 +0000 E 1171470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love them both! That neckline is just beautiful on; it frames your face perfectly. No wonder it's your favourite. In outfit 1, my attention is mainly on that lovely red &amp; your torso. In outfit 2, suddenly the skirt becomes the star; it almost looks stripier, hehe. So I suppose it just depends on your mood! (I don't have a lipstick preference either.)&nbsp;Love your cute poses too!</p> <p>I'm glad you still have the cardigan and look forward to you styling it for 2014 Ornella. The 2011 outfit is definitely more whimsical, with the shoe &amp; the embellished cardigan, and a bit girlier too somehow. As I'm whimsical and girly myself, I quite like it! hehe&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3-this-time-last-year-i-wore-edition-2014#post-1171433 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:49:59 +0000 Anonymous 1171433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see why that cardigan is a favourite....you should wear it more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3-this-time-last-year-i-wore-edition-2014#post-1171410 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:32:01 +0000 Ornella 1171410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, here is Day 3 :-)</p> </p> <p>The retrospective photo is the last one. Some thoughts about it: this was an interesting one, all the way back in 2011. LOL, soooo long ago.&nbsp;I remember being very much in love with this cardigan, with its delicate knitted ruffles around the deep V-neckline. That made it interesting on top of ordinary at the same time (being dullish grey colour) and served one purpose I was trying to work around that time -&nbsp;&nbsp;"lifting" up my shoulder line. As a pear, I wanted to learn to balance things out.</p> </p> <p>I still have this cardigan, btw,&nbsp;and still love it, although I don't wear it very much. But, as busy and whimsical as it is for my current preferences, it is still interesting to me and I have some ideas how to wear it.&nbsp;</p> </p> <p>For today's outfits (I went out twice and used to opportunity for two experiments) I wanted to step back from it though, but at the same time stay within the same parameters as at the beginning - wearing red with grey and balancing out the pear shape. (You can tell I'm waiting for Angie's updated list how to dress pear shape body )</p> </p> <p>I chose the sweater with my favourite type of neckline and striped grey midi skirt as the base. Initially I tried greyish hose, but they did not feel right and were too similar shade to the skirt, so I switched to black ones.</p> </p> <p><b>Outfit 1</b> has no underlayer but red sweater only.&nbsp;</p> <p> <div><b>Outfit 2</b> has the same lace underlayer as in 2011. As that kept things rather busy, I opted for the black sweater. It's more exact copy because of the underlayer, which is the one thing I carried over from the original outfit.<br /></div> </p> <p>Btw, the lipsticks are different, both matching the red shade I'm wearing.&nbsp;I am not sure if you can tell and if you have preferred one.</p> </p> <p>I'm also showing the rest of the outfit with the scarf and jacket for the first option.</p> </p> <p>Any thoughts?</p>
