I love it.</p> <p>Adding this to my style inspiration. I'm feeling myself moving towards masculine tailored looks. </p> <p>(Edit: You look so much like my aunt, when she was younger. She's not French but she did live in France for many years, so maybe some is that subtle French-ness that someone mentioned above. The haircut, especially.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty/page/2#post-1681304 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 06:53:30 +0000 skylurker 1681304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vix : you have a good eye !<br /> I wasn't aware of all the diagonal lines in this outfit.<br /> And yes, Marilyn off duty style was very low key, cropped pants (often microchecks) and simple pullovers. I didn't know they were silk Puccis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty/page/2#post-1681242 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 01:31:43 +0000 Vix 1681242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sky(nolonger)lurker --</p> <p>As much as I adore the heart-adorned pose, I think your first outfit is my favorite -- love all the diagonal lines (lapels, shirt, shoe vamp) and nonchalant spin on a traditional suit look. </p> <p>You know you and Ms Monroe aren't that far off in style -- her off-duty staples were Pucci crewneck silk jersey tops and slim cotton pants. I could see you in that if you ever have the urge to skew more Marilyn than Hepburn (Kate not Audrey!).</p> <p>Thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty/page/2#post-1681072 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 15:28:12 +0000 approprio 1681072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to this but Isabelle, may I say how great it is to see you rocking your French insouciance in pictures at last. You look even better than I remember from the meet-up, and that's saying something. More please! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty/page/2#post-1678619 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 21:04:12 +0000 krishnidoux 1678619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the result!

Because we are women, aren't we? Grown up, sophisticated, and fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty#post-1678332 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 00:42:52 +0000 Anonymous 1678332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My response must be bouncing around in the cybersphere. You are beyond pretty...beautiful. I also love the outfits and poses and the last is my favorite and something I would love to wear. The woman shoes are wonderful but so are your oxfords. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty#post-1678164 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 16:21:27 +0000 Anonymous 1678164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving getting to know/see your style. And I particularly enjoy your individuality and strong style sense - it just seems so natural and organic on you.....if that makes any sense. &nbsp;You definitely wear your clothes, and not the other way around.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty#post-1678124 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 14:34:04 +0000 Anna 1678124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Charm and style.

My hair is longer than usual, I think that's why uncollared top works better than usual.</p> <p>Jaime : there is a boutique Arche rue des Francs Bourgeois...just sayin' ;)</p> <p>Beth Ann : thank you. I love your comments on the blog, you have a distinctive, observant, kind, clever voice.<br /> Yes, I feel at home in the outfits, they're not a stretch of my aesthetics (you're right about the first shoes) and apart from the jeans in #6, which are new, they're repeat outfits.<br /> Wearing all of them in one week was not very kind for my feet though :)<br /> The women shoes are ok for my daily commute, but the last day I had more walking to do, so I was back in my oxfords. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty#post-1677992 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 03:34:41 +0000 Beth Ann 1677992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice to see you! &nbsp;LOVE the diagonal stripe in the first blouse. &nbsp;So clever and simple and chic. &nbsp;The color combo in the last look is terrific.</p> <p>The first shoes are feminine, but the bold silhouette makes them seem to fit your aesthetic. &nbsp;</p> <p>Do you feel "at home" in these outfits? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty#post-1677984 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 03:09:53 +0000 Jaime 1677984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have blown me away with these. You really do look wonderful in light colors (#6). But #4 might be my favorite. My very first pair of expensive shoes were a pair of Arche sandals bought in Paris almost 20 years ago and I wore them straight for the next ten summers. Hmm, shopping goal? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty#post-1677896 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 22:39:06 +0000 Lyn D. 1677896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty#post-1677884 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 22:23:18 +0000 Anonymous 1677884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your beautiful dress shirt with bow tie which class </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty#post-1677823 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 20:11:00 +0000 tulle 1677823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you, Skylurker!&nbsp; There are many paths to pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty#post-1677821 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 20:04:23 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1677821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie came up with the perfect word for what I see in all of these outfits: charm! Your style is pretty, fun, elegant, and charming! You do wear&nbsp; masculine styles with a very feminine touch. I love the heels with outfit 1. As great as you look in your collared shirts, I also really like #4--and you do Marilyn's pose proud. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty#post-1677755 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 16:56:49 +0000 Peri 1677755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So funny!

The lapels of the first jacket are wide and slightly floppy, yes - the sideway light makes the drape very conspicuous though, it's barely perceptible IRL.<br /> I'm glad I found a way to participate on the forum and start conversations with fabbers, too.</p> <p>Angie : I'll take charming elegant tomboy and run with it. So relieved you approve of the pants length, I knew you would scrutinize my ankles ;)<br /> And yep, we had warmer weather this week, at last. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty#post-1677724 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 15:43:06 +0000 Anonymous 1677724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, the footwear certainly does add a feminine touch!<br /> I like the Peter pan collar with the tied lace at the front--very distinctive.<br /> My favorite though is #5 for the colours. You wear those button downs so so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty#post-1677719 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 15:02:38 +0000 Brin 1677719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Ooh, shoes... I am coveting that first pair in particular.) &nbsp;As Angie says, it all works together. &nbsp;In this post you are definitely illustrating fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty#post-1677712 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 14:55:21 +0000 Angie 1677712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are SO fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>Isabelle, the word Killer Charming comes to mind when I see these outfits. I love the lengths of your pants, the diagonal stripes, the girly peds, the demure bow tie, and the way your hair kinks. It all works together to create a playfully strict whole that oozes with panache. You are Charming Elegant Tomboy.&nbsp;</p> <p>(And you DID wear #5 after all. Must have been hot in Paris. Woooohooooo!).&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty#post-1677698 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 14:29:46 +0000 Suz 1677698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sadder than ever that I did not attend the party in England last year where you and Shevia met. Style sisters if ever there were two.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look amazing. I love every one of these outfits for its simplicity, ease, and elegant tomboy femininity. As Maneera says, you have the best jackets. But also lovely tops and shoes and everything works together so well. I am curious about the lapel in jacket #1 -- is it rather wide and drapey or is that a trick of the photo and my poor eyes? Love the shoes in #1 also -- love the whole outfit!&nbsp;</p> <p>But equally beautiful is the one with the blush pants.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love your sense of humour and your style. Thank you for sharing with us; it is an inspiration.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty#post-1677690 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 14:00:08 +0000 skylurker 1677690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all.<br /> I admit I stole pose #6 from someone. I was not supple enough to imitate her hip move though - a hint I should start yoga classes ?</p> <p>Maneera : so generous of you to write such kind comments. I'll walk on clouds all day thanks to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty#post-1677685 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 13:46:24 +0000 kkards 1677685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG….now that song is going to be in my head all day!&nbsp;<br />love the model pose in #2! and the stripe on that blouse is so totally unexpected and perfect. and the bow tie in #3/4 add so much personality and fabness.&nbsp; </p>
