The high/ low looks wonderful on you.<br /> I'm thankful to Angie and YLF for introducing me to better quality clothing and stressing good fit, which makes everything look better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-the-love-of-designer-pieces/page/2#post-1102611 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 04:18:05 +0000 Anonymous 1102611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely styled! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-the-love-of-designer-pieces#post-1102591 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 03:33:54 +0000 Jaime 1102591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous top and I love it with the white jeans and sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-the-love-of-designer-pieces#post-1102585 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 03:25:47 +0000 Gigi 1102585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, I like your comment about having a few high-end items curbing a tendency to overbuy. I hadn't thought of that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-the-love-of-designer-pieces#post-1102543 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 01:52:22 +0000 Lyn D. 1102543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for all the lovely comments!<br />Angie, these white jeans may be too narrow at the bottom to roll, but I will try next time.<br />Gigi- good idea to stalk designer items til on sale, and only buy on 'special occasions!<br />Caro- your approval means a lot- you are my designer mentor :)<br />Claire- I am so honoured to share your love of well-made items in lovely fabric.<br />Suz- you are so right about one great piece lifting the rest of an outfit.</p> <p>Also I hope having a few high-end items will stem my over-buying tendencies. For me too many so-so low end things&nbsp;leads to poor CPW and overwhelming choices when dressing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-the-love-of-designer-pieces#post-1102534 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 01:32:35 +0000 Gigi 1102534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! I too am getting sucked in to the designer stuff without the income. I am trying to limit myself to wardrobe holes that are extremely difficult to fill (properly fitting boots, for ex.). And then I plan always to purchase on sale. AND I plan only to do it once or twice a year, for Christmas or birthday or whatever. Hopefully I won't go bankrupt too soon! I guess we can be next-door neighbors in our shacks under the bridge once we have spent all our money. We will be the best-dressed homeless people the world has ever seen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-the-love-of-designer-pieces#post-1102469 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 23:47:17 +0000 Anonymous 1102469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning! I love your blouse and the sandals add something extra special to the outfit too. I know&nbsp;<i>exactly</i> what you mean about acquiring a taste for designer items. They can be so fine and so well made that nothing else really measures up to them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-the-love-of-designer-pieces#post-1102457 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 23:32:03 +0000 Kristin L 1102457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous blouse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-the-love-of-designer-pieces#post-1102424 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 22:47:57 +0000 Caro in Oz 1102424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) Love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-the-love-of-designer-pieces#post-1102418 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 22:38:53 +0000 deb 1102418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful blouse.

Wow. K-word worthy for sure, Lyn.&nbsp;</p> <p>How do you feel about rolling your jeans up a little? Could be a nice finishing touch to the outfit. You look stunning in black and white.

Great example of working different price points so that your fab style does not require everything to be designer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-the-love-of-designer-pieces#post-1102054 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:52:44 +0000 MuseumGal 1102054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful top and you look awesome.&nbsp; Few things make me happier than navy silk! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-the-love-of-designer-pieces#post-1102051 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:44:37 +0000 texstyle 1102051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty and lovely on you!&nbsp; I have shirt envy now.
