Very cool - esp #1 and the blog outfit.&nbsp;<br /><br />I didn't read all the comments but I like the bomber much better with the very slim shorts. Would probably go well with skinnies, too. It's just a boxy piece, I guess. Then again, the bomber is the A#1 style I am passing on this season... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-892221 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 04:51:41 +0000 kellygirl 892221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That's disappointing, Una. I've never had a too tight raglan sleeve. They are usually so forgiving. Mine should be here and ready for return on Monday. Such a bummer :(<br />@makrame: thanks! I like structured--beats "too young!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-892213 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 04:33:53 +0000 catgirl 892213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't think there will be any loosening based on the type of fabric it is.&nbsp; Meh, why so cheap in the arm design?! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-892184 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 03:58:02 +0000 Makrame 892184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fun outfits! Like the army green pants with the white tops!<br /><br />I actually like the clutch, especially with the soft shirt and nude sandals in the first image of #2. &nbsp;I think with those items making the overall ensemble a bit&nbsp;dressier, the clutch looks more "structured" than "too young".<br /><br />In #1, I am especially fond of the blue sweater with lemon-yellow top. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-892173 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 03:49:57 +0000 kellygirl 892173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a nice surprise!&nbsp; Thank you all so much for the helpful comments. I’ve been running around like a crazy person and just now am sitting down waiting for the next round of taxi calls! Overall, it seems like we agree that the bomber works best with the casual bottoms and only somewhat well with the dresses. I’m going to play around with it a little more before I make a decision. I love the print and the oversized shape though.&nbsp;</p> <p>@texstyle: Thank you. The sandals are Softt that I picked up a couple of years ago. They are very comfortable but require bending over and buckling for exit and entry (so they don’t get worn as often as they should.) I know, I loved Ingunn’s stylings and that’s what made me think this bomber would be just as fab. Ingunn makes it look easy. I think it’s the shape that makes it challenging for me--it’s roomy and the proportions are throwing me off.&nbsp;</p> <p>@Una: Thanks. Cathy warned me about the Hinge. I’m doubtful the M will fit if it is tight on her. I wonder it yours will loosen up a little with wear. I prefer loose for summer--not sure if I could stand to wear a tight layer. I can’t wait to see yours in action.</p> <p>@pil, caro, Isabela, Shannon, Nicole D, Melllllis and Thistle: Thank you!&nbsp;</p> <p>@Dana: Lol! Not really. Major procrastinator here. I work better under pressure. Thank you. The beauty of these cargos is that they have elasticated hems so they never come down once I pull them up. I totally agree about the casual bottoms with the bomber. Those work well--it’s the dresses that are problematic.</p> <p>@Alicat: That is such a nice thing to say. Thank you so much! Davey says “Mrowr” right back at ya!</p> <p>@Angie: LOL! Thank you. I’m so happy to inspire a fainting spell! My casual style is all thanks to you. I have learned so much here!&nbsp;</p> <p>@rachylou: Thank you. Watch out for my watch cat! Glad you like the bomber.</p> <p>@Aida: Aww, thanks, Aida! I am really digging the color these days. I look at my drab neutral winter sweaters and want to toss them all out. I don’t know what has come over me. Can’t wait to see the twinnie dress. I think I copied you and Shannon on this one. I thought the light vest and boots helped lighten it up for spring. To me, the dress looks fall but it’s too lightweight and hosiery sticks to it without a slip. Glad you like the blog outfit copy--I loved that look. I was fiddling around with DD’s clutch and then realized my everyday, year round bag is berry red! How perfect is that! I carry the same purse day in and day out and I forgot it was red! I could wear variations on this outfit several times a week, I think! I hear you on the bomber--thanks for chiming in!</p> <p>@Parsley: Thank you! The sandals are Softt from a couple summers ago. Very comfortable and the only red shoes I own (besides a pair of boots.)&nbsp;</p> <p>@Jjsloane: Thank you! That is such a nice thing to say. I’m tickled. DId you keep the floral bomber?&nbsp;</p> <p>@Bj1111: Thank you. The tee in collage #2 is a Caslon that I picked up last summer. I’m sure they have something similar this year.&nbsp; I like the length and it’s fairly opaque for white. The white tee in collage 1 is Merona from last summer. The white button down is Kirkland. Denise pointed those out to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>@Shevia: Thank you! You are too kind :)</p><div><br /></div> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-892134 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 02:59:29 +0000 Jaime 892134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow! Where to begin? I love your first and last outfit in #1 especially and can't pick my favorite in #2, they all look wonderful! The bomber appeals to me most with the black shorts and short dress - not sure if my eye is just confused by so much fab though. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-892017 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 01:03:47 +0000 Thistle 892017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fab casual looks! &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891999 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 00:54:36 +0000 Mellllls 891999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So many amazing looks I don't know wear to start. &nbsp;I particularly love the first outfit. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891996 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 00:53:11 +0000 Nicole D 891996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like the final one in the first panel. &nbsp;And today's formula in all its splendour! &nbsp;Soooo dreamy. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891989 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 00:49:01 +0000 bj1111 891989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love it all. &nbsp;Agog at the cool cargo looks. &nbsp;Where do you get your tees? &nbsp;They have the perfect blend of slouch and structure. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891924 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 23:57:17 +0000 Jjsloane 891924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Amazing looks! You are the best advertisement for today's formula! I love them all. The bomber looks good to me except with the 1st black dress - it seems off proportionwise, but I love it with today's formula and the black shorts.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891923 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 23:56:21 +0000 Transcona Shannon 891923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your interpretation of Angie's casual combat formula are incredible Kelly - WOW! This is exactly what I'm wanting to figure out come the warmer weather.<br /><br />I'm a bomber newbie so can't offer anything useful on that front. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891911 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 23:48:59 +0000 Marigold 891911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the casual looks, your interpretation of the blog post is FAB, in love with how those combat pants look on you, and I like the red clutch, doesn't read too young to me at all!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891884 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 23:23:24 +0000 Parsley 891884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a bunch of great outfits, Kelly!<br />I love all your takes on today's blog post! You've made me eager to go experiment in my closet. The studded red clutch looks great- I don't think it's too young at all. It just reads as fun. And what are the red sandals, if you don't mind saying? I want them!<br /><br />I'm glad Angie's got us all sorted out with the bomber jacket. I really like it on you, but I'm pretty clueless as to styling them.<br /><br />You look fab, fab, and more fab! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891872 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 23:14:58 +0000 Caro in Oz 891872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are all fabulous imo. I particularly love the first &amp; last photos.<br />As someone who struggles with a casual look I'll be keeping these for future reference:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891851 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 22:45:18 +0000 Aida 891851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Kelly your casual style is off the charts!&nbsp;Tons of eye candy here ^^ I like all the outfits in #1, so nice to see you in such an array of color.&nbsp;I am filing the dress/vest/boots combo there for next week to try with my twinnie blue zigzag dress. For Angie's combat formula, you knocked that one right out of the park. I like all iterations, but am especially keen on #2 (dress shirt/sandals) and #3 (tee/booties). That is NOT too much red I have been struggling with bomber/baseball jackets this season; the shoulder seam shape just feels awful on me. I am just about to give up on it,&nbsp;will be holding out for the black/white&nbsp;VC jacket&nbsp;to go on sale as a last ditch attempt on the trend. I agree with Angie on those, #1-3 look best but they all work; I think the slimmer/tapered bottoms offset the rounded shoulder shape nicely. Thanks for the tip about the green shorts, I must go hunt those down! I desperately need long slouchy shorts. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891845 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 22:34:24 +0000 Ingunn 891845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, Kelly, this is so fab! I love all the renderings, particularly 1/4 and 2/3 and 4. I also think your bomber is fine with skirts, even when they are&nbsp;a little flared. I'm going to use this thread for reference, thanks for inspiring me.&nbsp;You have great style!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891842 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 22:25:52 +0000 rachylou 891842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hello! You rocked the Angie formula! Wowee zowee. I'm coming for your clothes, look out!<br /><br />The bomber is totally working for me as shown. Love!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891819 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 22:04:15 +0000 Angie 891819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ WOW!<br /><br />I love all your outfits, all the renditions of this morning's formula, and all the bomber looks. You have KILLER style, Kelly! <br /><br />Faves are:<br /><br />#1- the frock with the boots! <br /><br />#2 - can't pick! <br /><br />#3 - 1,2, and 3<br /><br />Loving the longer hair too :)<br /><br />I am officially fainting at your incredible casual style. <br /><br />*faints*<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891815 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 21:53:33 +0000 Anonymous 891815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Kelly, you inspire me so much. &nbsp;You are the queen of casual style! &nbsp;My favorite is the fourth look, with the combat pants and&nbsp;sneaks and white tee.<br /><br />I will leave the bomber jacket question to the experts.<br /><br />Hi to cutie-pie Davey! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891806 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 21:39:54 +0000 Dana 891806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I bet you were the first one done with your assignments in class! I love what you did with Angie's formula. In pic #2, I like the outfits with the blouse and the t. &nbsp;I especially like the first one. &nbsp;I'm sure it's just the angle, but it looks a little more wrinkled and slouchy. I like the pants at full length better with the heels than the flats. And you are rocking' the rushed pant thing! I can't imagine keeping them up (for me.)<br />&nbsp;<br />I love the looks with the bomber a lot! It seems to work with the casual bottoms best. I think the proportion is off with the dresses a little...maybe just a bit too long. Or maybe too much loose with loose? Either way... Keep:)!<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891794 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 21:10:50 +0000 pil 891794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love all of your casual looks and Angie's formula combinations! I'll leave the bomber comments to the others too, but do like it&nbsp;best with the greens. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891768 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:28:14 +0000 catgirl 891768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am trying to figure out how to style the floral bomber, so I'm going to use these as a guideline. &nbsp;I am not so sure of it with the dresses, but the pants look fab to me. &nbsp;<br /><br />FYI, be prepared for the Hinge bomber to be tight in the shoulders. &nbsp;I got the S and it is a bit too tight in the arms (and no stretch!), but I don't think sizing up will help much. &nbsp;It's pulling on the tricep area when I flail. &nbsp;Am trying to decide if that's a dealbreaker. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891766 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:26:15 +0000 texstyle 891766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really love your interpretation of today's outfit blog post - are those red&nbsp;Munro sandals by chance? I actually like it with the red clutch, studs and all.&nbsp;&nbsp;I also like your casual options but agree that the bomber doesn't seem quite right for some reason. I do like bomber jackets but I'm not sure I like a patterned bomber. I know I love Ingun's classic black bomber she posted not long ago - and I'd like to find a taupe one for this coming fall, but haven't see what I'm looking for quite yet. <br /><br />Do the colors in the bomber make it more challenging to match up with your dresses or is it the style/shape of the bomber that seems to be a problem? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891764 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:24:04 +0000 kellygirl 891764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Brenda! It's taken my eyes a bit to adjust too but the bombers are definitely growing on me.&nbsp;<br /><br />@Cathy: Thanks. I guess the Hinge will be out for me too. I ordered M thinking it would be plenty roomy. If it's too tight for you, there is no hope for me Oh well. I think my sheath is not fitted enough in the hips. I just looked like a giant block. Ugh. I was hoping to find a jacket that would be more dress friendly and not as conservative looking as a blazer. Still pondering that aspect of the bomber. It seemed so simple.... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891762 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:19:24 +0000 cciele 891762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the combat pant looks! I like the tee ones the best too.<br /><br />The bomber -- as styled, I like it best with pants. What didn't you like with the sheath styling? Seems like it should work well with a slim dress silhouette.<br /><br />I got the two bombers (Bellatrix and Hinge) yesterday. The Hinge one was too tight around the shoulders/arm holes (size M). Still debating on the Bellatrix one. I like that it's lined and is surprisingly warm (not in a bad way) for such a light-weight piece. But like you, I'l like to wear it with dresses... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891758 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:12:05 +0000 qfbrenda 891758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My eyes don't tend to like bomber jackets so I'll leave that to others.&nbsp; ;)&nbsp; But I love your casual looks.&nbsp; And great job with your interpretations of this morning's blog formula.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-again-wiw-blog-post-and-kr-bomber#post-891753 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:06:50 +0000 kellygirl 891753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My eyes are running and I'm sneezing like crazy so it must be spring, right? Some recent WIW's--all very casual. Played around with Angie's blog post this morning because&nbsp;I love the simplicity of the look. I really feel like the tee is more my style but I can see how a button down can elevate the look for a casual event (other than grocery shopping.) Borrowed DD's clutch but not sure I'd carry it--the studs read a little too young for me, I think. It's also probably too much red with the shoes <i>and</i> the clutch.&nbsp;Last of all, the Bellatrix bomber. I was really hoping this would work with casual dresses--and I'm not sure. It looked horrible with my black sheath so I'll spare you the retinal scorching. Here are a few stylings that *I think* work. I'd love your opinion. I haven't received the Hinge bomber yet--stay tuned for that. Green bermudas are from Gap in case anyone is looking for long, slouchy shorts.<br /><br /><br />
