I love the cape on you as much as on Angie. It really is a bit Downton, isn't it? I like the tweed jacket on you as well.  Also, waving to my blouse twin (quadruplet -- LisaP and Janet also have it). I don't think I've ever put on anything as flattering to me so I am sure it must light you up as well. I wear it when I need to look less sleep deprived! rae on "More of the Tweed Feed (Cape and a squirt of mustard, too)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-the-tweed-feed-cape-and-a-squirt-of-mustard-too#post-1621025 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 01:58:04 +0000 rae 1621025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh Vicki, thank you for telling me about this post!

You and Angie should be "cape models"!

Does it feel good to post!? Your comments are always so warm and supportive. Thank you!! rabbit, I appreciate your feedback and have enjoyed wearing each of these on a fairly steady basis, except for the cape, which is an evening "thing." Caro, thanks, and I've had those faux pearls for many years and still enjoy them. deb, thank you, my friend, and of course you would love the garden! Flower power! BrieN, your comment makes me want to twirl a few more times in my "Angie cape." bettycrocker, thanks and it does feel good to find some outfits I can return to over and over again. UmmLila, I was so touched and blown away by your kind words, because they were oh so "inspiring" to me. I'll happily post as a "public inspirational service." Haha. Bonnie, yes, I often do match my patio furniture and I guess it may be happening since I wear more neutrals these days. Joy, thank you and I like those words, "modern and polished" as helpful fashion guides. Angie, I'll take a biased Killer any day of the week or year! You inspire me to aspire higher on a personal level and keep finding my way. Thank you for being my #1 inspiration. Susie, thanks and I hope I see you IRL someday. Who knows, maybe there will be another YLF meet-up. Rachylou, the blue print blouse was a "new direction" for me, because I was uncertain of the pattern, so thanks for your positive reinforcement. SarahTheWhite, ah, the making it look so easy part, well, some days are easier than others, and I'm happy you like my outfit posts. I think you know me, because I like those words "elegant," "current" and "stylish" and that's when I feel best. shevia, thank you and I'm so glad I bought the cape, even though I live in sunny California. It has a lightweight feel that I know I'll enjoy in the autumn, too. Barbara, I appreciate your comments on the jacket and that idea came to me when I saw a celebrity real estate broker on the show "Million Dollar Listing New York," and saw the contrast he had on his upscale jackets. I thought my jacket was a bit too gray or neutral by my face, so that's why I wanted to add something to the lapel. Brooklyn, thank you, and the clutch is Elliott Lucca; I forgot to add that. zoiechic, the cape IS fun to wear. Marley, I would NOT have walked in and bought that top, unless you had showed it to me along with explaining the possibilities and why I should buy it. From what you said, more than a few of of us have it, and I'm glad I made the purchase. Keep your eyes open for more that work for "us." Mochi, your comments always make me feel so amazing, and I think we truly know when our outfits (and hair) hit the high or low notes. Yes, we feel more at home when we dress to reflect our own style. Thank you! Mochi on "More of the Tweed Feed (Cape and a squirt of mustard, too)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-the-tweed-feed-cape-and-a-squirt-of-mustard-too#post-1620729 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 17:33:22 +0000 Mochi 1620729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Vicki, that cape is so glam and polished (like you!). Most of all, it's so much FUN. While my style and body type, climate, etc are quite different, I am so inspired to see you and how comfortably and authentically your clothing, hair and overall style reflect who you are.  Marley on "More of the Tweed Feed (Cape and a squirt of mustard, too)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-the-tweed-feed-cape-and-a-squirt-of-mustard-too#post-1620709 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 16:52:52 +0000 Marley 1620709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great outfits Vicki!  So glad that you posted them.  I think my fave of the group is the column of color with the chunky pearls, or is it the mustard skirt paired with "our" H&M top???  Oh, I can't decide!!!!  Really love them all!

Thanks for the example of adding contrasting fabric to the jacket. I'm going to keep that idea.

A very biased Killer all round. WOW! I adore everything and I adore you most of all.  Oh, Vicki. I am humbled. I'm waving madly at my outfit twin! And enjoying EVERYTHING from the pearls to the pumps. How PERFECT to have worn the retro outfit to a Downton Abbey event. I LOVE the way you layered the cape over the suit.  How clever to have changed the style of your tweed jacket. You look sensational. Fab hair too.  And what Ummlila said.

I love that in #1 there is a subtle pattern on the blouse which works well with the colors/texture of the tweed. You look great in the Angie's twin cape and earth-toned neutrals Love both the column of ink with dramatic white pearls and the pairing of the yellow skirt with the H&M top (I missed the chance to jump on that, the patterns and colors are so lovely) --good footwear choice too. We're just now starting to get some bulbs coming up, thanks for the garden preview Vicki on "More of the Tweed Feed (Cape and a squirt of mustard, too)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-the-tweed-feed-cape-and-a-squirt-of-mustard-too#post-1620329 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 22:30:11 +0000 Vicki 1620329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie has a way of posting what's been lingering in my mind and I love that. For the past two weeks, I'be been thinking about wearing my Banana Republic tweed jacket. After seeing Angie's post, I got it out and wore it with my AT Loft brown print sleeveless blouse and my Talbots Dalton riding pants and nude pumps. The jacket was refashioned when I had my tailor add contrasting material to the shawl-collar lapels. It's a rather fitted jacket, yet it seems to work fine due to some stretch in the fabric. Here are a couple of earlier WIW's: The glorious Zara cape, which was love at first sight when I saw it on Angie, and which I wore to a "Downton Abbey" talk at our local library with black pants, a taupe turtleneck and black tuxedo jacket; My blue short-sleeved Boden top with blue Talbot's Dalton riding pants and big pearl necklace; My several-years old Halogen mustard skirt with the blue print H&M blouse (recommended by Marley, because she thought the color would be good on me); The eyeglasses were merely taken to send to an eyebob representative to help me pick out other styles of reading glasses and they just happened to be in this photo collage. Hope everyone is enjoying their particular season; our springtime is lovely here.
