It suits you EVEN better.&nbsp;</p> <p>It would be very handy if you lived next door. Then we could share our shoes. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensemble-attempt#post-1427287 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 02:16:40 +0000 Jaime 1427287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all thank you! It is always a bit scary putting your picture out there isn't it?<br />#3 - I thought so too! In theory this jacket should work closed and tied - but I need to do a better job tying and tugging and not with such an attention grabbing blouse I think. It is leather or&nbsp;leather like Sharan, but not high quality and rather stiff.&nbsp;<br />Mona, Harmonica and KKards, Shirley, frannieb&nbsp;I think this blouse might be one of my wildcards in the end. Thank you for helping me appreciate it!<br />Carter, I think the belt could be removed, but I have a yen to style this belted. You see I have no waist so this is the closest I can get. I should see if it can be removed and then put back, because the jacket would be much easier without it.<br />Angie, thank you for your asymmetric hair appreciation. It makes sense with my asymmetric face! You nailed the shoes exactly - they look retro because they are retro, or at least not very recent. But so well made and fit so well, that I hold on to them. I think I can remove the tie - hmm I wonder if I could replace it with something softer like a ribbon for further experimentation. And Angie thank you for always sharing with me&nbsp;a warm smile too!<br />Destri, indeed, I must figure out that belt!<br />Suz my hair is embarrassingly easy to keep up. I wash (with conditioner) run some curl product through it with my fingers and let it dry. I make up for it with skin care though. I find this bag much easier to deal with than a soft hobo, of which I have carried many. Because it is stiff and vertical things stay more or less in place. Well except keys.<br />Sharon thank you! I do love that coat!<br />Ingunn thank you for the lovely compliment - particularly nice coming from someone with so much style herself.<br />jackiec - I am encouraged you like the Ferragamos, I must try to wear them more. I like my actual WIW best too.<br />Caro - thank you. My hair has never been so popular!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensemble-attempt#post-1427183 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 22:57:43 +0000 Caro in Oz 1427183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 is my favourite too, such fab finds Agreeing with the others about your hair - it is perfect for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensemble-attempt#post-1427135 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 21:51:22 +0000 jackiec 1427135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, LOVE those Vince jeans on you. Second of all, LOVE those Ferragamos. I really like today's outfit the best. And well played with the citron - I love #3 most of all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensemble-attempt#post-1427126 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 21:43:41 +0000 Ingunn 1427126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's more hair love from me. You look fabtastic! My fave is #3, and I like both the jacket and the blouse on you. I wouldn't change a thing in you WIW - it's great as is. You have terrific style, Shevia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensemble-attempt#post-1427088 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 21:02:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1427088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your casual tomboy-chic style. The final outfit that you wore is terrific. You put together pieces that have quiet beauty on their own, where they all contribute to a subtly rich look. The olive and citron is a fun look, and I like both footwear choices with it. I agree that I prefer the jacket open, but I think if you get the tie to hang more smoothly, the closed option would look just as nice. Is the tie leather--is that what makes it difficult? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensemble-attempt#post-1427060 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 20:11:58 +0000 Sharon 1427060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's such a treat to see you WIWs! I love #3 too. I think the colours look good on you and the asymmetry of the open jacket and the rolled jeans give the arty edge that I associate with your style.<br />I think #5 is fab too. The black contrasts with your hair and gives the outfit&nbsp;such a dramatic feel and the coat is amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensemble-attempt#post-1426936 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 16:44:10 +0000 Suz 1426936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So great to see you post, and I am just <b>WOW</b>ed by your hair. It is fantastic on you! Is it fairly easy for upkeep? I adore the way it works with your curls and highlights them while also drawing attention to your eyes. And how did you decide on this particular cut?&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like #3 a lot. The colours look fab on you and to my mind it's great with the loafers and the jeans rolled a bit. Beautiful lines.&nbsp;</p> <p>Today's outfit is equally fab! I have always liked that shape of bag-- at least in theory. I like it on me, too, and used to own a very similar bag from Roots. But the darn thing was a bit like a bucket bag in its capacity to be a black pit of "where is it???" Then again, I hadn't hit on the idea of organizing things in little pouches back then -- I might have better luck with a bag like this now. Hmmm.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensemble-attempt#post-1426935 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 16:36:54 +0000 Destri 1426935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your citron blouse outfit -- #3 is my fav too followed by #2 (I think there is a way to tie the jacket so that the tie lays more symmetrically) .&nbsp; That is such an interesting and less common color combo.&nbsp; #5 is sharp too!&nbsp; Very well done.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensemble-attempt#post-1426930 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 16:28:56 +0000 Angie 1426930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to Team Citron. (We are a jolly lovely bunch).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>*smiling*</p> <p>LOVE YOUR 'DO. Sooooo sassy. You were made to wear that asymmetrical look.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like #3 best too, Jaime.&nbsp;Gorgeous.&nbsp;The flow of the lines&nbsp;and proportions look best to my eye. Can you remove the waist tie of the jacket? Those loafers are deliciously Retro, and what a great tone of cognac.&nbsp;</p> <p>And #4 is a fab look. Go Team Scrunched Jeans. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensemble-attempt#post-1426924 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 16:21:53 +0000 frannieb 1426924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #3 - the jacket open showing the shirt. The shirt is beautiful. and I love the last outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensemble-attempt#post-1426881 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 14:54:44 +0000 Shirley 1426881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I like the jacket open to see more of the citron blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensemble-attempt#post-1426874 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 14:18:08 +0000 carter 1426874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today's outfit is spectacular! Really like this a lot on you. For the ensemble, the belt on the jacket feels not quite right to me. Is it possible to remove the belt? I like everything else about the jacket, and it would be much easier to style without the belt, I think. Love the citron blouse, and the Ferragamos needto come out to play more often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensemble-attempt#post-1426872 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 14:13:28 +0000 kkards 1426872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>another vote for the fab #3. i think this is an great example of the wholeness of an outfit, the way this is styled everything just comes together.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensemble-attempt#post-1426870 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 14:05:07 +0000 harmonica 1426870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 is my favorite. Super cool. I love the juxtaposition between the soft and feminine blouse, happy yellow colour and casual jeans. Love the jacket, too. Colour combo works well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensemble-attempt#post-1426857 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 12:41:44 +0000 Mona 1426857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it best in #3 with jeans rolled up at the ankle and jacket opened so more colour peeks through. The blouse looks beautiful and has great styling potential.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensemble-attempt#post-1426855 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 12:19:32 +0000 Jaime 1426855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't posted a WIW is a bit but it is time to get back in the saddle. Angie's ensemble last Friday spoke directly to at least two lonely pieces in my closet: a Yigal Azrouel thrifted silk (let's call it citron) blouse and a olive jacket from the Italian brand Lola (second hand also).</p> <p>Why I bought them aside;<br />The citron blouse was one of those things that I feel compelled to buy when thrifting - designer, silk, unusual, and in&nbsp;good condition. Whether I will eventually keep or sell it is another matter. But I wasn't going to let it just sit there.&nbsp;<br />The jacket, on the other hand, was a decision made on the basis liking the shape on me and thinking that is the closet I am going to get to a belt over a jacket. I knew the brand because it is sold in pricey boutiques&nbsp;Israel, although it is hard to find anything on-line about it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway, I tried to put this together a few ways and it definitely needs some tinkering. For one thing, my belt tying&nbsp;abilities are non-existent.<br />I varied the way I put the jacket and blouse together in #1-3. I also attempted to put into use my cognac Ferragamo loafers (thrifted over 2 years ago and waiting still for their moment). I think boots with a bit of heel would balance things better, but I don't have a cognac pair. #4 is just to show what the blouse looks like, which I would not wear without a cami.<br />Just for contrast, #5 is WIW this morning (same Vince second hand&nbsp;jeans), Zara sweatshirt, IXOS boots&nbsp;(second hand), Yohji Yamamoto jacket&nbsp;(second hand), Dooney &amp; Burke wine bottle picnic tote (second hand).<br />What do you think of this combination? Are these colors all wrong on me? How would you tinker? thanks for looking!</p> </p>
