I'll suggest it to my sister;-)</p> <p>Thanks for linking to that essay Bella. I've saved it to my desktop to read it when I have a bit more time.</p> <p>Tara: writers really do write about the most diverse subjects, don't they. Grownup Barbie collectors, that must be a "world of its own". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130/page/2#post-47806 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 02:37:24 +0000 shell 47806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>im a bit late, but ive been so busy lately, i haven't had time to check in as much as i'd like! </p> <p>you look fabulous all week! my favorite is probably the tweed miniskirt outfit. but, really, all the looks are great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130/page/2#post-47743 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 22:00:29 +0000 bella 47743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again ladies! </p> <p>Tara - No problem. I have a degree in sociology so I found the article very interesting and I am happy to hear your opinions. I knew that you were a writer but I didn't know you wrote about Barbie - even though it is for collectors. What an interesting job, I'd love to hear more about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130/page/2#post-47733 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 20:22:37 +0000 tarzy 47733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella - slightly off topic, but thanks for posting that link to the Cinderella story. It was a great read! </p> <p>As a freelance writer I have worked a lot for Mattel, and write about Barbie. I've actually been accosted at parties by women who tell me that Barbie is evil. I don't agree, but I do understand the concerns. It's really all about marketing, in the end.</p> <p>I actually write mostly for the GROWNUP Barbie collectors, which is a whole different story, and almost stranger in some ways. But as someone who enjoys fashion, Oh My God! Some of Barbie's outfits are amazing. Anyway - that was a great article. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130/page/2#post-47731 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 19:42:24 +0000 Violet 47731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great Bella! I love the variety in your wardrobe. I also shop at Target but I have not been to H&#38;M in a while. I think I will need to go back b/c it seems like other forum members have gotten some nice things there. Thanks for posting, I look forward to seeing more of your outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130/page/2#post-47630 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 01:35:39 +0000 greenglove 47630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella,<br /> I am really late in response but wanted to thank you so much for your posting. You are SO glamorous!! I love the colors that you wear, they suit your very dramatic style and great figure. You are stylish and classic! Please keep posting </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130/page/2#post-47616 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 01:11:36 +0000 bella 47616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie, I am blushing!:) </p> <p>Zara is fabulous, isn't it? We don't have a Mango or Zara close-by either but I get to indulge when I go back home for the holidays!:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130/page/2#post-47603 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 00:47:04 +0000 Angie 47603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another very stylish lass. You look absolutely wonderful, Bella. Love your style!</p> <p>I’m a BIG Zara, MNG and H&#38;M fan – especially Zara. I keep on encouraging more people to shop there, but they don’t have an online site which I guess makes it a little harder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130/page/2#post-47572 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 23:36:33 +0000 bella 47572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Tanya! That cowl neck sweater (which is more of a soft pink) is from H&#38;M, it is not a recent purchase. I bought it a couple of years ago, ironically in Boston!:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130/page/2#post-47554 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 23:04:48 +0000 Tanya 47554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am late to comment here, but I agree that your project is a great success so far. You look amazing in all of your outfits, I love them all.</p> <p>I have to disagree with you about those shops not being popular on the forum, I shop a lot at H&#38;M, at recently started too at Zara and MNG ( those are fairly new to this area and not so easily accessible). And I have noticed that a lot of ladies here like those stores, it is just that not everyone has access to them.</p> <p>I am absolutely in love with that lilac cowl neck sweater from your last outfit and would like to know where it is from and if it is a relatively recent purchase ( so there's hope of me finding it too). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130/page/2#post-47520 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 19:22:41 +0000 bella 47520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge - your niece is too cute!:)<br /> A couple of years ago, I read this essay in the New York Times, it is hilarious and I think it does a good job analyzing our princess obsessed consumer culture:</p> <p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/24/magazine/24princess.t.html?pagewanted=1&#038;_r=2&#038;ref=magazine" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12.....f=magazine</a></p> <p>I don't have much time now but I will start a new topic on hair dye when I get a chance. </p> <p>Patience - Thanks a lot. I think this is one of the reasons why I like this forum. Seeing other people's outfits gives me ideas for combinations from my own closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130/page/2#post-47519 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 19:17:49 +0000 Becky 47519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella, you have such a classy and sophisticated look, and on a budget too!!! It's impossible to pick a fave, but I love the tweed skirt. Wish I had one too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130/page/2#post-47510 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 17:32:12 +0000 Patience 47510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella, your style is awesome and inspirational. You look wonderful every single day. I also love that you're shopping your closet. I can't really pick a favorite but you have reminded me that I have a black v-neck sweater very similar to yours that I should layer with a button down because it's a little roomy in the chest. </p> <p>Inge, I just have to laugh about your niece-- maybe you could find some pink clip on hair extensions? I really want her dream to come true now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130/page/2#post-47503 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 16:50:23 +0000 Inge 47503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh thanks for those pics Bella. Two super outfits! And the fuchsia and red work like a charm on you.<br /> I love it how you can wear both bright and more subdued colours equally well.</p> <p>Dyeing your hair!!?-)<br /> Ok, shoot! (as long as you're not going pink - long story: my three year old niece wants to be a princess, and when we went to the hairdresser's on Friday she insisted on getting pink hair 'because real princesses have pink hair'. I don't know where on earth she got that idea. FYI: she's still blond;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130/page/2#post-47383 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 15:52:32 +0000 bella 47383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge thanks!:)<br /> I have worn fuchsia before (perhaps not pink) but not since my challenge has started. I will post one picture for you here:<br /> <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3528/3194497493_0f9f0d2bb4_b.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm4.static.flickr.com.....2bb4_b.jpg</a><br /> This reminded me a recent post by Angie, where she was talking about wearing fuchsia and red together. This is how I've worn it before:<br /> <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3232/3150731947_5d935b1d9f_o.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm4.static.flickr.com.....1d9f_o.jpg</a></p> <p>Thanks for the compliments on my hair. I am thinking of starting another topic on hair color, more precisely to dye or not to dye ??:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130/page/2#post-47355 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 12:37:09 +0000 Inge 47355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything has already been said, Bella (of course you can be Bella online;-). You really have a knack for putting together fun and stylish outfits.</p> <p>I want to go scarf shopping with you!-)<br /> I don't think we've seen you in pink before, I really love you in that sweater, and you have such gorgeous shiny dark hair!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130/page/2#post-47292 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 00:18:23 +0000 bella 47292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again!<br /> Kristen - I didn't know that you could shop at Target with your amazon login, I will have to check that out when my challenge is over!:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130#post-47266 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 19:17:25 +0000 chelle 47266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would call your "Wear Everything" project a huge success!!!! You look amazing and did such a good job of putting your outfits together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130#post-47261 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 18:37:04 +0000 Nicole 47261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd never have guessed that most of your clothes come from Target, ON, H&#38;M, Zara &#38; MNG (I'm not familiar with the last one).</p> <p>I love the skirt in number 1. And I love the combination of the grey pants, black sweater and chartreuse green shirt. </p> <p>You look fantastic in every outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130#post-47260 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 17:52:57 +0000 Kristen 47260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Target has the most addictive online shopping site on the planet -- a 1000% better than the stores, and I can spend days in the stores. And if you sign in with your Amazon login and order more than $50 of stuff, shipping is free. Returns can be done right at the regular store. </p> <p>ADDICTIVE.</p> <p>Bella, I must join in with the clamor for loving all the outfits! Great job rotating through your closet. It's a cool challenge I'm enjoying you attack with gusto and style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130#post-47239 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 13:12:46 +0000 Sarah 47239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your sense of style. Very inspirational! I actually plan on copying your tweed skirt outfit with a new skirt I got (at Ana's suggestion).<br /> I also shop at Target (accessories and basics), and would shop at H&#38;M and Mango if we had them. You've just proved yet again that style isn't about a dollar amount. Way to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130#post-47230 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 07:40:14 +0000 Amanda 47230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all the outfits! You have great style. I was really inspired by your outfits. I shop at Target and H&#38;M all the time; and only don't shop at Mango and Zara because they don't have stores in Seattle. Seeing your outfits makes me wish they did. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130#post-47219 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 05:23:37 +0000 bella 47219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's interesting to see how you all have different favorites!:) I have to say day#4 is one of my favorites so I'm glad Ana mentioned it! :)</p> <p>Target is really great for layering tee, accessories, sports and lounge wear even shoes. I really like their clothes as well but usually it is hard for me to find clothes that fit since their sizes seem to run big. This skirt, for example, is unfortunately a little too big on me but I make it work with a belt. :)</p> <p>Lena - it is very possible that your friend and I come from the same country. I am originally from a different continent myself:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130#post-47193 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 04:17:30 +0000 Lena 47193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And don't get me started on Target - it's so hard to walk away from that store without armloads of things (things you didn't come to get in the first place).</p> <p>I wish we had H&#38;M, Zara and Mango over here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130#post-47191 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 04:16:45 +0000 marianne 47191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very stylish, and I love your use of accessories. I did recognize the rescued skirt, and I also like the green/grey combination, looks great with your coloring.<br /> Not that I am a trendsetter, but I do shop at all the places you mentioned. I think BR and AT get mentioned a lot here because of their large footprint. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130#post-47187 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 04:12:10 +0000 Lena 47187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's seriously hard to pick a favorite, Bellacville. You look terrific in every single one. I really like the silhouettes in no.4 and no.5. And you look terrific in jeans! You have a great eye for putting things together. </p> <p>You know, it's uncanny how much you look like my friend N. (who's on another continent). Your facial features, coloring, everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130#post-47184 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 04:07:16 +0000 Ana 47184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella, super job on the outfits! I honestly love all of them. My favorite is the tweed mini skirt with the button up and v-neck sweater. Very ladylike, but still fun and youthful. I love that you're just shopping your closet--how inspirational! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130#post-47179 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 04:01:20 +0000 julijuli 47179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look fab in all of the photos. I love that you shop at lower price stores and put together such wonderful looks. Very inspiring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130#post-47177 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 03:56:46 +0000 yublocka 47177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another target shopper here. I'd say half my tops are from there. No H&#38;M or Zara in Australia, although I do think I have seen one MNG. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0130#post-47166 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 03:24:47 +0000 taylor 47166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a wonderful eye for style and fashion...You dress yourself beautifully!! </p>
