Love the color, drape on the top, pattern on the skirt, leather skirt and bracelet, and even the edgy black toenails. Pretty necklace too! You really knocked it out of the park! I would totally wear this outfit--love the combination of pretty and edgy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formulaes-in-action-aka-my-edge-citron-love#post-1341608 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 08:38:14 +0000 lyn67 1341608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I wasn't around to chim back to you yesterday, as I got some over the night guests at home in the afternoon, but aw, <b>ladies</b>, you made my (to)day! :-))</p> <p>Thanks for all the compliments and I had to mention, I got some RL&nbsp;compliments, too&nbsp;and really felt sharp all day-&nbsp;which is rare, but so fun! I'll have to save this outfit for&nbsp; hard tasks days, or so:-)).&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Alaskagirl</b> yes I usually also choose the simplier ones, too-so I have many times worn this skirt with a&nbsp; black top/shel. But then&nbsp;are some studded grey pumps to it, or tan suede wedge sandals. It surely requires more effort to put together another color mix&nbsp; but I do it more and more often now, and I encourage you to do the same if you&nbsp;need uplifting your moods.</p> <p>And <b>Angie</b>, for answering you on my other thread, yes-I love my BF's:-)). At the moment they are the only cut I preffer and wear with confidence&nbsp;for all purposes, be it work&nbsp;or casual.&nbsp; And, I am so &nbsp;delighted to get a K worthy rate from our fashion guru,&nbsp;thanx so much, it makes me feel so special!!:-))</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formulaes-in-action-aka-my-edge-citron-love#post-1341535 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 03:42:16 +0000 LACeleste 1341535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

I actually like the pendant with it. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formulaes-in-action-aka-my-edge-citron-love#post-1341480 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 02:33:20 +0000 Deborah 1341480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a fab outfit Lyn.&nbsp; I love the colours and it's very professional but not unapproachable.&nbsp; The black leather band does add that great touch of edge.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formulaes-in-action-aka-my-edge-citron-love#post-1341457 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 01:45:18 +0000 Ornella 1341457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how this outfits manages to look sharp, but not stiff. I also love the&nbsp;right dose and balance of black that makes it office friendly, but it is colourful enough not to be mistaken it's summer outfit. </p> <p>I love the black band and how you feel about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formulaes-in-action-aka-my-edge-citron-love#post-1341070 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 17:17:07 +0000 Alana in Canada 1341070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is wonderful--such an interesting blend of light and bright and dark and light. I like the pendant--I don't think it is algo at all--even though there is a lot going on, lol! It brings the white of the skirt back up as the shoes brought the black of the jacket down: balance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formulaes-in-action-aka-my-edge-citron-love#post-1341050 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 16:41:33 +0000 catgirl 1341050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! We share a formula. And yours looks amazing. I will have to remember the bright top option even with a print. I tend to do the simplest option and then wonder why I am bored. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formulaes-in-action-aka-my-edge-citron-love#post-1340949 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 14:50:33 +0000 Angie 1340949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of your very best looks. I vote k-word worthy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formulaes-in-action-aka-my-edge-citron-love#post-1340834 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 12:43:53 +0000 Anonymous 1340834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really like the black with the citron! The moto jacket instead of a more standard blazer or cardigan is a nice touch too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formulaes-in-action-aka-my-edge-citron-love#post-1340813 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 11:57:19 +0000 Suz 1340813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous outfit on you, Lyn! I love these colours in combination for you -- so sunny, fresh, and smart. Your summer office dressing is incredibly chic. And yes, I think the top counts as a fluid fit. Everything looks perfect here.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am like you in that I seem to prefer print on my lower half. I do wear it up top as well but not as often and with more trepidation somehow.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formulaes-in-action-aka-my-edge-citron-love#post-1340807 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 11:51:55 +0000 krishnidoux 1340807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very, very clever outfit. It works both with colors AND structure. I love how you play with the darker accents. Birkin style gray bag + pearly jewel: genius.&nbsp;It compliments your lovely hair in terms of proportions.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formulaes-in-action-aka-my-edge-citron-love#post-1340800 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 11:47:10 +0000 Jaime 1340800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great top and skirt and I especially love it with the moto! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formulaes-in-action-aka-my-edge-citron-love#post-1340786 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 11:26:54 +0000 Lantana 1340786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks terrific Lyn. The pattern on the skirt is so elegant and the top drapes in an interesting way. I think you could keep the mabe pendant. I think the baroque skirt pattern allows there to be ALGO elsewhere, if that makes sense. I think this outfit is 100% a winner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formulaes-in-action-aka-my-edge-citron-love#post-1340782 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 11:18:52 +0000 bj1111 1340782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super color on you. Like you i prefer prints in my lower half! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formulaes-in-action-aka-my-edge-citron-love#post-1340776 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 10:47:41 +0000 Sharon 1340776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a great outfit - you look wonderful. I really like the way the printed bottom lightens the high contrast effect of the citron and black.&nbsp;</p> <p>It is always tricky finding a hair compromise! My hubby prefers longer hair too, so I am growing it to humour him. My hairdresser usually has some ideas that make the transition less painful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formulaes-in-action-aka-my-edge-citron-love#post-1340774 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 10:46:52 +0000 Quietgirl 1340774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a unique top and marvelous skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formulaes-in-action-aka-my-edge-citron-love#post-1340753 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 08:59:02 +0000 lyn67 1340753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the title, I was inspired by Alaskagirl's last thread. It seems one of &nbsp;my formulae is the same (printed bottom and black on top). Here is my interpretation for the office, wiw&nbsp;today. </p> <p>White, grey, citron, and black paysley print cotton &amp;elastane pencil, citron sleeveless top,&nbsp;&nbsp;lightweight crushed effect zippered front moto jacket, black wedged sandals and a&nbsp;grey bag.</p> <p>My interpretation&nbsp;of the curent&nbsp;fluid fit here is found in the&nbsp;moto jacket (which has a bit of a looser fit) and the citron tank. The citron tank(H&amp;M) is fitted around my hips, but it's a looser&nbsp;on &nbsp;the waist-has kind of a drape there comming down from a quirky detail on the neckline I love-does this count? (I tried to show&nbsp;&nbsp;you in the close ups.) Pencil is also a bit loose as I am down a few pounds now:-), but hope&nbsp; still fits good enough(?).</p> <p>&nbsp;I have this jacket from last fall, but only wore it with&nbsp;&nbsp;darker&nbsp;columns of colors under, to blend in&nbsp;it, never to achieve such a big contrast. So, this time I felt more edge wearing it. It's end of summer by us, chilly in the mornings with hot afternoons, so layering&nbsp;is working good.</p> <p>For bookending&nbsp;the blacks&nbsp;on top&nbsp;I put on&nbsp; my only black sandals and the&nbsp;mother of the pearl pendant on&nbsp;a&nbsp;black&nbsp; string. But when saw&nbsp;these picties I felt it's a bit too ALGO and have removed my&nbsp;chocker for the day.</p> <p>Also, you&nbsp; probably never notice (as I am making my pictie with&nbsp;my right hand)&nbsp;but I am wearing a&nbsp;black leather band there, all the time. That is one element of&nbsp; edge which I wear daily from my early twenties (in nr.6 I tried to make a pictie with my left hand, to show you:-)).</p> <p>Pls excuse my hair, I am long overdue to a cut by now, but my Hubby wants it longer so am a bit&nbsp;confused what to do with it, next).</p> <p>I trust your eyes&nbsp; so all the comments and suggestions&nbsp; are welcome. Thanks for looking and taking your time to read.</p> </p>
