Yes, I’m afraid my friend is an adventure generator. Lol. One year, he joined my family and best friend for Thanksgiving, and for once I did the cooking. Those people all got on a roll with their biting wit. You probably had to be there, but everyone was on the floor when mum told him his divorce court judge must have been 9th circuit. Meanwhile, I was doing grouse not turkey... you have to put in your order for grouse to Scotland like in August and then some Scottish people go out and find you some. Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faking-edwardian-wiw#post-1867500 Tue, 12 Dec 2017 15:05:23 +0000 SarahD8 1867500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, amazing outfits with the tartan skirt!

Hahahaha!</p> <p>Dim sum we went old time Chinese: Straight up, old SF Cantonese. You have to go afield for this now btw, because Chinatown has secretly moved within the city. I ordered in Cantonese (dim sum being the sum total of my language ability there) and sported the plaid Uniqlo Puffy and matching bag, and the woman laughed with me about it! So all tribes navigated! Woo hoo!! Lololo! So much satisfying sartorial entertainment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faking-edwardian-wiw#post-1867434 Tue, 12 Dec 2017 10:29:08 +0000 rachylou 1867434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! I quite liked 2 and 3 too; they also need outings. </p> <p>Columbine I hope everyone is doing better! My poor brother also had a sore throat all weekend.</p> <p>I’m back from dim sum now. I freaking fell in the Pacific Ocean at midnight. Lol. No fountains to jump, no white tie to jump in IN. Lol! Faked it with the Pacific. The next time my friend visits, I’ll be so old... splashing my face in a drinking fountain is probably we’re we'll be at. Haha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faking-edwardian-wiw#post-1867428 Tue, 12 Dec 2017 09:38:19 +0000 Brooklyn 1867428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great!

I rather want it. But it wouldn’t look nearly as fab on me. I loved reading your story in the other thread but I don’t think I had time to reply. Household has the flu. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faking-edwardian-wiw#post-1867385 Tue, 12 Dec 2017 03:46:29 +0000 karen13 1867385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your choice - you look wonderful, situationally appropriate yet still you. Your hair is great and that skirt/boots are amazing. The jacket is the perfect Edwardian touch. Thanks for showing us the end result. You must have made a very well dressed pair. I bet they seated you in the window.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faking-edwardian-wiw#post-1867377 Tue, 12 Dec 2017 03:30:54 +0000 Suz 1867377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, this is one of my favourite outfits on you ever! (Actually, I love all the iterations and agree with you about #1) But *this*!!! It really does channel Vivienne W. and the skirt is so so flattering on you, plus it makes me homesick for the 80s in a good way. So glad you had fun and felt well dressed for the occasion. (The overcoat is the perfect touch).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faking-edwardian-wiw#post-1867374 Tue, 12 Dec 2017 03:26:02 +0000 Jaime 1867374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is incredible - I love your outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faking-edwardian-wiw#post-1867302 Tue, 12 Dec 2017 00:51:58 +0000 Aida 1867302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks perfect down to the fur trimmed coat ^^ Definitely wear the others out sometime; I'm extra fond of #3 for the pattern mix, of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faking-edwardian-wiw#post-1867233 Mon, 11 Dec 2017 20:55:53 +0000 rachylou 1867233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everybody!!

This is perfect- interesting, different, and with a nod to the Edwardian. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faking-edwardian-wiw#post-1867049 Mon, 11 Dec 2017 13:01:43 +0000 LaPed 1867049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 really steals my heart, but I think you made the right choice. </p> <p>Oh -- I tried on a stripes-and-plaid ensemble the other day and managed to get a nervous laugh out of DH. He is pattern-averse generally, and adores knowing the rules. </p>
