Wow Kate Cerebrano is gorgeous - I am not much of a sexy dresser although I don't mind some cleavage and such.&nbsp; </p> <p>And Deb - well you know what you described is right up my alley. And neutrals are definitely my comfort zone!&nbsp; I don't actually have any booties and I keep thinking maybe I need some! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-were-to-dress-me#post-955498 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 05:42:34 +0000 Deborah 955498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just re read Angie's suggestions and who can argue with the expert, scrap my suggestion of neutrals. Angie is right you would look amazing in jewel tones. I still think you look pretty good in neutrals though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-were-to-dress-me#post-955491 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 05:05:27 +0000 Caro in Oz 955491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie has me drooling - I bow to the expert &amp;&nbsp;would love to see you in her suggestions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-were-to-dress-me#post-955435 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 03:40:31 +0000 Deborah 955435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Archer, great call on Kate Cerebrano! Kate is a very sexy dresser. Very womanly and often has a touch the 1940's vibe. Hmmm</p> <p>Hil I agree with Angie's assessment. And I think you and I share a love for a similar aesthetic. So this is my outfit for you on a mon on the go day:)</p> <p>Stretch pencil skirt (knee length) worn with oversized fine knit sweater. Opaque tights and ankle booties with wedge heel. Large wrap / scarf wound very casually around the neck and draping. I might add a medium sized structured bag. Outfit in neutral tones and I would add maybe a splash of colour in the bag, or some accessories which I would keep to a minimum... oh and of course this is a winter outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-were-to-dress-me#post-955419 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 03:08:47 +0000 Archer 955419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She too loves to sing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-were-to-dress-me#post-955418 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 03:07:43 +0000 Archer 955418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Hil<br /> I am with Angie on the talents but not the prescription. Check out Kate Cerebrano. See pics. She is physically and facially similar to you and she is really sexy and gorgeous. I am not a sexy dresser(anymore- another story) but something tells me you might like her look. Am on a run now but here she is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-were-to-dress-me#post-955099 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:43:29 +0000 Hil 955099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay - loving the responses!</p> <p>Thistle - I think I could get into white and silver, although I am battling with the idea as a winter colour, even though I loved Angie's winter whites!&nbsp;</p> <p>BJ1111 - I love Deborah's style - her outfits constantly inspire me!&nbsp;</p> <p>Liz - I am definitely going to be keeping a closer eye on Shannon's outfits now. That silhouette is not one I have tried.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sanet - that trench is AMAZING!!! I am sure I have read about Albertus Swanepoel - I am going to have to dig into the recesses of my brain to think what &nbsp;I read. Definitely a South African name :)</p> <p>Angie - since joining YLF I have found a new love of wearing colours and I now know why I have always been attracted to the jewel tones. I am enjoying starting to experiment with them. And I am loving&nbsp;skirts too, although I think the fact that it's winter and I can wear them with opaque tights helps. I still need get my head around to how to take this into summer.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks Suz - I am thinking I could happily increase my skirt quota. I will also be paying more attention to Kari's colours from now on!!!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-were-to-dress-me#post-954885 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:47:02 +0000 Suz 954885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh. I am soaking up Angie's responses and saying, go for it!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I would definitely get some more skirts like your recent purchase. Maybe in a pattern or two for fun -- stripes, even a floral. The colours that <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/member/kari/">Kari wears</a> could be great inspiration for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-were-to-dress-me#post-954871 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:34:42 +0000 Angie 954871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! You're cute, Hil :)</p> <p>I would style you in jewel tones and leave behind the blacks and greys. Rich dark teals and eggplants are top on the list. Burgundies and deep cobalt would work too. </p> <p>I would like to highlight your gorgeous legs so it's definitely a skirt or pair of harem pants. And I love your collar bones, so scoop or cowl is my neckline of choice. </p> <p>I'd keep the silhouettes soft and drapey. Arty but structured. Finish off with wedge booties of sorts and a floppy satchel </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-were-to-dress-me#post-954858 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:18:56 +0000 Sanet 954858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fun!</p> <p>I see you own red sneakers. How about blue skinny jeans, red sneakers, a white shirt and the first trench coat here:<br /><a href="http://www.glamour.com/fashion/blogs/dressed/2012/03/10-cfda-fashion-fund-designers.html?mbid=twitter_fashion" rel="nofollow">http://www.glamour.com/fashion.....bid=twitte</a></p> <p>(I see this trench is designed by Albertus Swan(e)poel. Sounds very South African to me.)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-were-to-dress-me#post-954856 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:17:15 +0000 Liz A. 954856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hil, I'd actually like to see you in a lot of Shannon's looks, especially her dress looks.&nbsp; These would be a great silhouette on you.&nbsp; She has so many fab looks.&nbsp; You could take your pick.</p> <p><a href="http://shannons.lookfab.com/post/wiw-day-1-of-dress-challenge" rel="nofollow">http://shannons.lookfab.com/po.....-challenge</a><br /><a href="http://shannons.lookfab.com/post/wiw-floral-moto-with-cobalt" rel="nofollow">http://shannons.lookfab.com/po.....ith-cobalt</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-were-to-dress-me#post-954848 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:09:51 +0000 bj1111 954848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ii think you might like the outfits another poster shares...Deborah from australia.</p> <p>here's her <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dgates.lookfab.com/">ylf blog</a>. &nbsp;possible inspiration? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-were-to-dress-me#post-954817 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 13:36:58 +0000 Thistle 954817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, not really MOTG, but I have fallen in love with white this season, sooooo:</p> <p>White trousers, an Eileen Fisher-esque top - the kind with&nbsp; lovely drape but still has structure - in a pale shade of silver. Tie it off with some fabulous silver shoes.&nbsp; Something like this, minus the toe studs:&nbsp; <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/sam-edelman-jayden-oxford/3507402?origin=wishlist" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/sa.....n=wishlist</a></p> <p>Then, I would accessorize with bold arm candy and earrings.&nbsp; You could change up the arm candy and earring to refresh the base outfit.</p> <p>I think it fits with your style, but the color scheme is far enough removed that you would feel stretched&nbsp; :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-were-to-dress-me#post-954768 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 12:46:42 +0000 Hil 954768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought this may be a fun post which could either fly or fall flat... And it might be useful because I think I often shop with blinkers about what I think might suit me! </p> <p>I often see people and imagine how I would style them if they let me. </p> <p>So indulge me - if you were styling me, what would you have me wear? It can be for any occasion or if you want specifics, lets say for Mom-on-the-go outfit - because that is how I think I dress most often. And since this is a fantasy styling session - any budget will do.</p> <p>And go... </p>
