I think I did more UWP when I was younger -- I tended to look like something out of The Matrix, and used the look like an armor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off/page/2#post-814446 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:40:24 +0000 tarzy 814446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really do look great a wide variety of outfits. I guess there is a unifying undercurrent, though - you never go too far into edgy/UWP. I really, really love you in the black &amp; white (Paris?) pictures - very chic! </p> <p>(I also relate to your bombshell comments. Even after losing 30 pounds I still have "curves." Clothes just hang a certain way. You seem to own it, although I completely get that feeling of wishing it wasn't something other people dwelled on.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off/page/2#post-814435 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:31:04 +0000 jenanded 814435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in all these outfits. I am bombshell figure-ish too and I really admire the VARIATIONS you have in your outfits. I think someone else said that the other day, its less that they are bored with their clothes but that there was no variations in their outfits. I am taking notes here! Love the salmon top, love the sheath dress, love the pants and cas jackets... You really look beautiful in your clothes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off/page/2#post-814416 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:18:16 +0000 Angie 814416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Dianthus. And you look GORGEOUS! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-814406 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:09:32 +0000 Day Vies 814406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Vix -- I never imagined what I had to share in the post would resonate with so many. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-814041 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:54:59 +0000 Vix 814041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Day Vies --</p> <p>I really enjoyed your thoughts on the "Calling all Bombshells" thread; lots of Catch-22 moments with that style.</p> <p>I always love seeing what you've put together; you really know how to pick the silhouettes and colors that work for you no mattter which direction you want to embrace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813907 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:15:27 +0000 Anonymous 813907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813785 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 07:39:12 +0000 Asingh 813785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Joy, your dressing style seems to be "eclectic" which is great cause it keeps the outfits from looking boring. I really like the skirt and salmon pink top on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813762 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 06:49:29 +0000 Day Vies 813762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alaska -- yeah, you get it -- I am so looking forward to that day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813727 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 05:02:22 +0000 christieanne 813727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautifully put together and polished in every look! I think you have a wonderful sense of color and shape - kind of lady like, a little retro (tulip skirt), sophisticated. </p> <p>I worked for MF's sister company in Seattle (Frederick and Nelson) and agree very much that it is sad the "old" stores are no longer with us. Times change I suppose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813724 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 05:00:15 +0000 catgirl 813724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a breast reduction but prior to that I got va-voom! comments all the time. As you know, I am so not a bombshell persona or dresser, but it was inevitable, along with the "you should feel lucky!" comments. It's frustrating to feel typecast by factors you have no control over and societal assumptions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813721 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 04:57:23 +0000 Day Vies 813721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap -- no offense taken by the "bombshell" descriptor. I just feel that it's not an authentic representation of all that I am. It's kind of a knee jerk response to being typecast that I have been resisting since starting a professional career many moons ago. It's a nice persona to play with every once in a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813702 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 04:34:01 +0000 Anonymous 813702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous ensembles.<br /> I don't think I am consistent style wise, so I can relate. I do have a strong preference for pattern and more cutesy stuff in summer, yet I like simplicity in winter. I take it you are not too taken by the bombshell descriptor? We use it quite positively around these parts. It is more of a celebration of femininity and tastefulness, never the average "run of the mill" sexy lady look.<br /> ...and I do commiserate, I am quite curvaceous IRL so everything gets bombshelled quite easily and that.gets.old. Also, in all honesty, sometimes is not what I want to go for, being hispanic and all.<br /> I do love your style! It's so nice to have you around here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813645 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 03:43:08 +0000 Day Vies 813645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MNsara - DH took the picture in #2 and frequently refers to me as "my Michelle". I also happen to be from Chicago and I used to receive paychecks with Dayton Hudson Marshall Field's across the top.</p> <p>Adelfa -- I could not agree more. I realized that layers help camouflage the curves as I pulled pics together for this post. Layers are harder to pull off in the summer but it certainly provides options. And your eagle eye did notice that jacket would have ruined the line of today's outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813618 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 03:23:42 +0000 Transcona Shannon 813618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see some classic and ladylike and artistic all rolled into your look Day Vies. And whatever you end up calling it, it's gorgeous and you always look so fantastic!</p> <p>The colour of your sweater in your pics at the top is just amazing on you. You wear these bright colours so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813610 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 03:18:19 +0000 deb 813610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second set of pics maybe de-bombshelled but they are still very "lady like'. You are so beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813608 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 03:17:32 +0000 Emily 813608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Regardless of descriptor you look classy and modern in all of the looks you've posted. The colour of your sweater today is gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813594 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 02:59:16 +0000 Adelfa 813594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I'm seeing is that the extra layer tends to debombshell you (cardi, blazer, jean jacket). If you put another layer with the coral sweater though, it would detract from the super clean line you have going on in your top and skirt, which I love. So you can just pick depending on the needs of the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813585 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 02:52:14 +0000 Amy 813585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you, day vies, about how body type can sometimes steer your fashion choices in a way you may not entirely wish to go. Love that coral top on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813575 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 02:44:33 +0000 MNsara 813575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, but I love you in #7! Such individuality and spunk! Has anyone else mentioned the Michele Obama vibe in #2? Very elegant and confident :-)</p> <p>Marshall Field's! We were a Dayton's town, but grew to love Marshall Fields. . . It's been harder to adapt to Macy's, but I'm working on it! Does M.F. love mean you're a Chicago girl? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813562 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 02:31:22 +0000 Day Vies 813562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle -- agreed, Macy's is absolutely NOT the same as Field's. I am still in mourning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813528 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 02:13:10 +0000 Anonymous 813528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 7 in the set of pictures you posted -- there's the artistic coming through! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813527 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 02:12:09 +0000 Thistle 813527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, I love everything about your outfit. Sows how well you know your shape, your coloring, just everything. You have amazing style. Thank you so much for posting, it really helps to see someone who is so put together!</p> <p>Second, I also miss Marshal Fields. Macy's just isn't the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813521 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 02:09:32 +0000 Sara L. 813521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoy seeing all these outfits. Today's outfit with the pink sweater looks great on you! Eclectic Ladylike Classic seems like a fitting rubric from what I can see. I'm glad that it seems to resonate with you also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813513 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 02:06:08 +0000 Day Vies 813513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pil - I agree (Intelligentsia indeed)! I really enjoyed that outfit. Black white and cognac look so great together to my eye.</p> <p>Joy- I really like your suggestion "eclectic ladylike classic" -- works for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813497 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 01:51:25 +0000 Beth Ann 813497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shape of this skirt on you! The color is strong and stunning, and the textured legwear is a great detail.</p> <p>What I see coming through your looks is energy and optimism -- color and smile!</p> <p>Marshall Fields (sigh). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813494 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 01:50:11 +0000 Anonymous 813494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see eclectic ladylike classic. You also have an artist's eye for color and proportion and attention to detail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813490 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 01:46:39 +0000 pil 813490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Day Vies, #7 really appeals to me for some reason. It's artsy and fun and not bombshell at all. I think it's just everything combined - your hair, the white glasses, fun striped shirt and the boots. We could get a latte from Intelligentsia and enjoy a sunny afternoon at Millenium Park : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813478 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 01:43:00 +0000 Day Vies 813478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree Dianthus -- I have what I have, and unless I'm going outside in a barrel (old school style :-D) there is going to be a little bombshell in just about everything I wear. </p> <p>Shevia -- you are so sweet -- I enjoy color and find that it is the inspiration for most of my outfits. Cut and proportion are important but secondary elements. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-bombshells-whod-like-a-day-off#post-813464 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 01:36:42 +0000 Day Vies 813464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are some looks from the non-bombshell days. </p>
