I'm blushing I'm learning as I go what looks flattering on me - there have definitely been quite a few fashion disasters for which I have not saved photographic evidence!</p> <p>And I have to admit I laughed at the professional model comment- I'm only 5'1 so that is one compliment I have never heard before! I have to give my husband all the credit - it's amazing what a difference a skilled photographer can make.</p> <p>For the clothes (the good stuff!):</p> <p>Picture # 1:<br /> Jacket: Caslon, petite (non-petite similar here: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/caslon-one-button-knit-blazer/3338867" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ca.....er/3338867</a>)<br /> Button-down: Brooks Brothers non-iron (petite)- I wait for sales and stock up<br /> Jeans: Old Navy Diva Jeans (petite)<br /> Shoes: Keds (LOL) </p> <p>Photo 2:<br /> Poncho: Halogen Button Funnel Neck Topper (<a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-button-funnel-neck-topper/3269737" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ha.....er/3269737</a>)<br /> Warning- the poncho is quite short in front, even on short-waisted me. I add a same color top underneath to elongate the line a bit. It's not as visible in the picture because I am a bit bent over.<br /> Jeans: Old Navy Rockstar (beware, runs about 2 sizes small!)<br /> Boots: Born Sage (very comfy, highly recommend) <a href="http://www.zappos.com/born-sage" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/born-sage</a></p> <p>Picture 3:<br /> Jean jacket: Jag Jeans Rupet (<a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/jag-jeans-rupert-denim-jacket-petite/3290348" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ja.....te/3290348</a>)<br /> Cord skirt: Gap, older<br /> Boots: same as above</p> <p>Thanks everyone!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiwsmy-interpretations-of-the-motg-look#post-741553 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 03:15:55 +0000 Beth Ann 741553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a terrific first WIW! You look at ease and put-together --- and your daughter is a gem. Your color choices are perfect for you, and the boots in #3 are really stunning.</p> <p>Brava! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiwsmy-interpretations-of-the-motg-look#post-741544 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 03:00:55 +0000 KathyL 741544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, fantastic outfits, all three of them. I especially love the second one. That sweater looks so comfy and stylish and I like how you balanced the oversized sweater with skinnies and boots. Perfection! You and your LO are just gorgeous. And kudos to your photographer. My hubby is an amateur photographer but usually just takes pics of birds (see my avatar lol) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiwsmy-interpretations-of-the-motg-look#post-741537 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 02:54:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 741537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WHOO HOO!!!

You look incredible. I'm on the West Coast too and have 2 small kids, and I think I'm going to be taking notes from you I'm still struggling with finding my casual-but-stylish sweet spot and I've been on the forum for years! I love the teal sweater, raspberry jacket (I've been struggling to figure out how to wear jackets casually and you've done it so well) and eggplant sneakers in particular. Would love to know where you found them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiwsmy-interpretations-of-the-motg-look#post-741489 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 02:00:01 +0000 Nanabear 741489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you sure you and your toddler aren't professional models?

I enlisted my amateur photographer husband and photogenic toddler for the effort - we took some pics over the last few weekends.</p> <p>Feedback welcome! I'm still trying to figure to look stylish but not too fancy (since we live on the West Coast where the vibe is very casual) while still being able to move quickly to keep up with our super-active kid. </p>
