A fun but dressier red shoe - patten leather ballet flat or wedge, earrings, a touch of make up and lips all bring it up to chic or did I cross over to sophisticated? Now I'm back to that other thread.</p> <p>Dani, I hope you'll post a picture adopting some of the ideas on this thread. You'll look great no matter how you spin it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-your-style-challenge-dani#post-81267 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 22:48:18 +0000 Dawn 81267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic... Love your outfit, it certainly fits your current style description! You wear yellow so beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-your-style-challenge-dani#post-81263 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 22:39:14 +0000 Christie 81263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job, Dani! I'm learning so much from everyone's challenge outfits and comments! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-your-style-challenge-dani#post-81238 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 21:22:03 +0000 cciele 81238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit really reflects your current style, Dani! I love how cheerful you and your outfit are. :)</p> <p>Everyone's given you great advice on "chic-ifying" your outfit. I just wanted to let you know that I was at Anthro today and saw the following short-sleeve cascading cardigan on sale:<br /> <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=913300&#038;parentid=SHOPSALE-SWEATERS&#038;pushId=SHOPSALE-SWEATERS&#038;popId=SHOPSALE&#038;sortProperties=&#038;navCount=15&#038;navAction=top&#038;fromCategoryPage=true&#038;selectedProductSize=&#038;selectedProductSize1=&#038;color=031&#038;colorName=MOSS&#038;isSubcategory=" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....bcategory=</a></p> <p>Very different from your current style, but might help you get closer to your goals!</p> <p>ETA: I totally forgot about this cutie of a cardigan. I have it on order, but Angie pulled it for me to try when we were shopping at Macy's. Great color and very summery:<br /> <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=383005&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....sn_results</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-your-style-challenge-dani#post-81156 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 17:09:25 +0000 Dani 81156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for the feedback, everyone. I really appreciate the ideas. There are quite a few great ones! Shoes are definitely my problem accessory so I'm working on building up a decent collection. </p> <p>I'm noticing that most of the other challenges are showing cooler weather outfits. I definitely find it easier to dress to my style ideals during the cooler months. It's too hot here for much more that a light weight cardigan and a tank, although single layers are preferable.</p> <p>Laura, I think I will give it another go incorporating some of these ideas into the original outfit. I'll have to get to that later, though, but the ideas are swarming about in my head as I type. And, yes, I LOVE short sleeve cardigans...got the scoop on any more (even cascading?)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-your-style-challenge-dani#post-81134 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 15:20:11 +0000 bella 81134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dani, I really like this outfit. I think you were offered some great suggestions. For me, since one of your adjectives is unique, this outfits needs a statement piece. Something that reflects your personal style, something that will make me remember this outfit afterward. That would be the unique addition, imho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-your-style-challenge-dani#post-81097 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 13:55:38 +0000 Laura 81097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't you just love short-sleeved cardis? And you wear yellow soooo well. Are you going to alter the outfit based on suggestions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-your-style-challenge-dani#post-81074 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 11:20:15 +0000 hanna 81074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i had to chime in to say how lovely you look :). and you've already gotten some brilliant ideas - after5's suggestions are basically the entire look i had in my head for you! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-your-style-challenge-dani#post-81073 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 11:18:47 +0000 Kristen 81073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like everyone has given you some great ideas, but I wanted to jump in to say I love your sporty, cheerful look! I'd say you nailed expressing yourself in your current style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-your-style-challenge-dani#post-81065 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 10:24:13 +0000 JewelryGirl 81065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always look so happy in your pics - love your smile! :)</p> <p>I would say drop the shoes, add some fun metallic or animal print (modern/unique) &#38; then a statement or signature necklace (unique again). </p> <p>Or, I've been wearing some lower slung dark denim bremuda shorts from ATL (wish I could find more locally, I purchased at MOA) with a pair of fun heels &#38; a skinny belt also. That's another option to change up your bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-your-style-challenge-dani#post-81039 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 04:33:58 +0000 CK 81039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your colors made me smile as well, Dani! (and I love your staircase) I agree that a change to a less sporty shoe and a different style cardigan might help accomplish your goal. Different jewelry? Perhaps a pendant or something else a little more unusual that your red beads since one of your key words is "unique."</p> <p>Also, this cardigan, but with a different shirt - perhaps a print? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-your-style-challenge-dani#post-81038 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 04:30:46 +0000 Angie 81038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. I was *just* going to say what Danja said. That's absurd! Woven top, belt (but not necessarily tucked in), and gladiator sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-your-style-challenge-dani#post-81036 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 04:26:43 +0000 Kari 81036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dani, your cheerful colors made me smile too.</p> <p>I like Joy &#38; After5's idea for going for a more streamlined (but not fancy/formal) shoe, and I wondered if choosing a cardigan or top layer that is either a bit looser (like the cascading cardigan that Joy suggested) or more fitted at the waist could get this a bit closer to your goal? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-your-style-challenge-dani#post-81027 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 03:41:55 +0000 Anonymous 81027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about wedge metallic sandals and a voluminous banded bottom or tunic on top. A cascading cardigan instead of the classic shape you are wearing is another thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-your-style-challenge-dani#post-80987 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:57:03 +0000 Danja 80987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What if you put a button down white shirt instead of the cardigan and top. Roll up the sleeves, tuck it in, add a nice belt in some bright color and definitely some dressier shoes (ballet flats, kitten heels, wedgies?). I would also add a chunkier necklace. That's my 10 cents... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-your-style-challenge-dani#post-80985 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:40:32 +0000 Dani 80985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree Angie, I was wondering what to change about the outfit to achieve chic...drop the shoes (most obviously), change from a cami to something else? I'm wanting to move away from sporty if I can muster it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-your-style-challenge-dani#post-80984 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:37:27 +0000 Angie 80984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Dani. You look great! </p> <p>I just don't think you can look sporty AND chic. Sporty is the antithesis of chic. I think you can look casual and chic, though. Does that make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-your-style-challenge-dani#post-80978 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:17:22 +0000 Dani 80978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the first time I've been able to participate in the challenges on the forum! Yay! </p> <p>I just happened to be wearing an outfit today that will work well for this challenge. Summer is a challenge for me due to the heat...I'm working on building up a my options little more over time.</p> <p>Here's a typical outfit for me that follows my current style:<br /> -Sporty<br /> -Modern<br /> -Colorful/cheery</p> <p><a href="http://s302.photobucket.com/albums/nn119/dixiegirlYLF/2009/Challenge/?action=view&#038;current=P7220011.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s302.photobucket.com/al.....220011.jpg</a></p> <p>Now...here's my question. How do I turn this into my goal style?:<br /> -Chic<br /> -Modern<br /> -Unique</p> <p>Thanks!! </p>
