I love how the blazer pulls out that same colored stripe from the top and the roll on the jeans is perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-297#post-1317678 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 12:58:31 +0000 Meredith 1317678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love that top and jacket together and agree the whiskering is less conspicuous because of the stripes on the top. Looking firward to more wiws! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-297#post-1317667 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 12:42:29 +0000 Windchime 1317667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice to see you, and terrific first wiw! I'm impressed that you used pieces which you've had for a few years. You bought wisely; it all looks great on you! I love the tomato red blazer, the striped shirt, and how you've cuffed your jeans. Looking forward to more wiw's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-297#post-1317665 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 12:40:03 +0000 Jaime 1317665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific first WIW. The whole thing comes together beautifully -&nbsp;the light boots bookending your hair and the jacket color looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-297#post-1317643 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 12:01:17 +0000 frannieb 1317643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the red jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-297#post-1317635 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 11:45:00 +0000 Quietgirl 1317635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto to all the comments.

Very polished, yet casual and relaxed. I like the punch of red, how it suits your blond hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-297#post-1317621 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 11:13:28 +0000 Mona 1317621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The orangey red blazer and the striped top look awesome together. Looking forward to seeing more of your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-297#post-1317617 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 11:05:31 +0000 RB 1317617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that colour red on you and like that the T-shirt picks up the red of the jacket. I think that the colour of the jeans looks great with the jacket, and boots. I think&nbsp;the whiskering question probably relates to your personal style. On the one hand markering over the whiskering to make a more uniform colour would make the outfit sleeker, but at the same time it might also make it more conservative - maybe the whiskering is the element that gives the combination a pop.&nbsp;Do you have other dark jeans that you could try before you break out the markers?</p> <p>If you do break out the markers I've&nbsp;found those crayola washable ones to be quite permanent.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-297#post-1317616 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 11:03:25 +0000 Lyn D. 1317616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to WIWs!<br />You are looking Fab, and your DS will get used to taking photos of Mum, and even start to joke about taking pics of you when not-so-fab </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-297#post-1317610 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 10:21:05 +0000 Inge 1317610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! Congrats on your first WIW, Kiwigal, the first one is hard, isn't it. I think you look wonderful from head to toe. I love how there's also orange-y red in your fun striped top (great neckline)&nbsp;to echo the colour of the great blazer. Very flattering with your hair too.&nbsp;The ankle boots look good, and I really like the cuffed jeans. It feels modern and on trend to me,&nbsp;but I'm sure they look good uncuffed too.</p> <p>Fab first outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-297#post-1317595 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 08:09:07 +0000 Sal 1317595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Firecracker, AJ and Gigi. &nbsp;You are all very kind. &nbsp;I am not very relaxed in front of the camera at the best of times.<br />I might be able to marker over the whiskering, it is worth a go.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-297#post-1317552 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 04:40:29 +0000 AJ 1317552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats for getting your feet wet and posting a WIW!!</p> <p>It is hard to comment on the whiskering from that side angle, but the jeans have a nice fit and I like them cuffed. The whole outfit looks great. Nicely styled!</p> <p>I think kids just like taking pictures. When I first started posting, mine were eager to be my photographers. Now, not so much, but they oblige me, LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-297#post-1317548 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 04:37:59 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1317548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look adorable in this outfit--great to see you! And congratulations on your first WIW! (It is a bit intimidating, isn't it?) The booties are such a good choice with the outfit--they bookend so nicely with your hair. I love how you've rolled the pants with them. I can see the French influence your friend was noticing--the bold touches of red, and the stripes that are reminiscent of a mariner top. The distressing on the jeans seems to echo the stripes in the top. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-297#post-1317545 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 04:32:07 +0000 Gigi 1317545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a wonderful outfit! I love how the booties bookend your hair, and the color red looks great on you!&nbsp;The whiskering does seem unusual to me, but I've only started wearing jeans in the last year or so. I wonder what would happen if you put some dye on the whiskering, if it would make it less prominent? The jeans look really nice—the fit looks good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-297#post-1317543 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 04:30:09 +0000 Sal 1317543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes we are a day ahead of you down here in NZ....<br />Thanks for the nice comments </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-297#post-1317541 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 04:28:20 +0000 Anonymous 1317541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's still the 28th here, but I'd love to comment:) &nbsp;I love the red jacket on you, and with the striped top - great with your hair colour. &nbsp;Dark jeans with the boots are perfect - and I like them cuffed! &nbsp;Can't see the whiskering too well on my monitor,but I know what you mean - but only about the dated part. &nbsp;It all looks like a nice , classic outfit to me, with a nice nod to your boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-297#post-1317534 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 04:22:19 +0000 Sal 1317534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, feeling nervous.</p> <p>This is what I wore today. &nbsp;Nothing new here, the boots and t-shirt from 2013, the jacket from 2012 and the jeans from 2010!! &nbsp;These are my least favourite jeans but I felt like wearing them for a change. &nbsp;I think the whiskering is a little dated and not so kind to my&nbsp;hips. &nbsp;My kind friend said I looked French in this look when I bumped into her&nbsp;but I am not sure. &nbsp;I love the orangey&nbsp;red of the blazer, and I love these ankle boots.</p> <p>Most of the day I had the jeans unrolled but I gave them a try this way. &nbsp;I think I preferred them unrolled to be honest.</p> <p>My DS took the photo (he is 12) and wondered why he was doing it. &nbsp;He is NOT an experienced or even good photographer.</p> <p>Thanks very much for looking.</p>
