They still have a coherence, although I would say 5 stands out because it doesn't have the drape and sumptuous ease of the others. It's a fun look, though, and you are a sport for trying something so different and with such style. I really smiled at #1--you look so, so cool in that outfit, and I love the pose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge---one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-others---one-more-try#post-1473012 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 02:43:12 +0000 Caro in Oz 1473012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>shevia </b>I'd love to share wardrobes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge---one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-others---one-more-try#post-1473005 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 02:30:57 +0000 Jaime 1473005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fantastic! #1 and #4 are my absolute favorites as in I want to steal them :-). #5 is clearly the odd man out.

Required outfit for reading Kerouac and listening to jazz in a smokey coffee house. </p> <p>#2. Tie-dyed dress and sandals in the 60s</p> <p>#3. Yve St. Laurent Russian influenced collection in the mid 70s</p> <p>#4. The Japanese designers reinvent the concept of clothing in the 80s. My personal favorite!</p> <p>#5. The nihilist punk/grunge rocker of the 80s and 90s-- Doc Martins, piercings, and a whole lot of attitude. Biggest Caro transformation!</p> <p>ETA: hey, is #5 the "not like the others" because it spans more than a single decade--late 70s, 80s and early 90s. Your interpretations are really interesting because they plot the movement of style through the decades. The monotone darks of the Beat, the loose shapes of the 60s, and the flowing structures of the 80s melded together in the Japanese avant garde designs, which, in turn, paved the way for the creative mashup of the grunge/punk era. </p> <p>Love them all, but happy to see you survived with your fashion mojo intact in the last pic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge---one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-others---one-more-try#post-1472763 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 14:45:39 +0000 Angie 1472763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOHOOOOOOO. YAY. Killer all round.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was <i>waiting</i> for your renditions, Caro. And they did NOT disappoint. <b>LOVE THEM ALL.&nbsp;</b>Beautifully executed. YOU ARE SOOO FAB.&nbsp;</p> <p>You probably wouldn't wear #5, but it's my fave because it's OTT and very early&nbsp;'80s. HAHAHAH. It made me laugh. THE HAAAAIIRRRRRR. Another WOOOHOOOOOOO.&nbsp;You're a good sport.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look the most at home in #1 and #4. Very-Caro. But I'm loving you in that blue frock too. Stunning colours against your complexion.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>*applause*</b></p> <p>WELL DONE.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge---one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-others---one-more-try#post-1472746 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 14:08:42 +0000 Suz 1472746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything CocoLion said. And, #1 is just <b>fantastic</b> on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Did you wear looks like #5 at all back in the day? If so, did they fight your natural softness? I think it's interesting -- when one has that softness, yet still wants a bit of edge. To me, #1 achieves that blend to perfection on you. On someone else it might not.&nbsp;</p> <p>BTW, the hair is <b>KILLER </b>in #5.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge---one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-others---one-more-try#post-1472700 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 10:53:21 +0000 Summer 1472700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks, Caro.</p> <p>1. Either 80s - because of the batwing sleeves, but also looks very 60s to me.</p> <p>2. 60s again? I'm not sure, but it's lovely!</p> <p>3. Either 70s or even late 20s/early 30s, when, I believe, kimonos were popular for lounge wear.</p> <p>4. 80s</p> <p>5. 70s punk, and I'm guessing this is your odd-one-out, but who knows!</p> <p>6. I love your current outfit.</p> <p>I've probably fallen flat on my face with this exercise, and lost any trace of style-credibility, but thanks for keeping us guessing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge---one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-others---one-more-try#post-1472699 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 10:47:10 +0000 Mona 1472699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful nods, Caro!

I'd wear any one of them myself.&nbsp;My favourite is 1, because it looks the most current and I love those shoes.</p> <p>I'd say all are wearable. My first thought for the odd one out was 5, but it's full of Caro attitude and I can imagine you rocking it on the right occasion (ok, maybe without the braces :P)&nbsp;I wouldn't be surprised if&nbsp;you confound us and tell us it's 3.</p> <p>(and yay coat twin! sorry i missed that in the other thread!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge---one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-others---one-more-try#post-1472671 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 09:41:44 +0000 Sal 1472671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these, my favourites are 1 and 3....very cool!!!<br /> Maybe 5, but I wonder about 4? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge---one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-others---one-more-try#post-1472669 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 08:48:25 +0000 Anonymous 1472669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks Caro! </p> <p>I think as Denise that #1 is possibly 80s?
