Great outfits as always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-58247 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 19:26:21 +0000 Danja 58247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! I really love your style and how you stayed so polished, very classy. And you accessorize so well too. The red belt with green sweater, very lovely. I also like the green shirt/white sweater combo with the skinny flower belt and scarf. I do have one question: why no heels? is it because of the weather? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-58241 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 18:52:28 +0000 Encore 58241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love them all! Thanks again for the flicker referral when I started posting.</p> <p>Now, how do you take such clear photos? I spend ALOT of time on photo taking and never get it quite right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-57332 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 14:39:47 +0000 bella 57332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Julie, that's a great compliment. I am so happy I inspired you. I think I will start a new thread with my question. This thread will not get enough traffic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-57323 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 10:23:45 +0000 donjoaoresort 57323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful </p> <p>John<br /> <a href="http://www.donjoaoresortgoa.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.donjoaoresortgoa.com</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-57240 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 20:45:25 +0000 Julie 57240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To repeat what everyone else has said, you look fantastic all of the time. You have completely inspired me to start wearing belts and scarves and I have to say I love the look. I have found that I have no desire to shop because I have figured out how to wear my clothes thanks to you posting pictures. Thank you!!</p> <p>As to your question - I think you are in your late twenties. I think you look very modern and very confident in your own style and that is something most people only dream of attaining. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-57185 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 17:34:08 +0000 bella 57185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the compliments and sorry to see that a lot of us are struggling with tags on scarves. :(</p> <p>Shiny - I don't carry handbags during the week, as I lug around my laptop in an over-the-shoulder laptop bag. However, If I did, I would wear my purple bag similar to this in color: (not price!)<br /> <a href="http://www.ebags.com/carrie_valentine/grounded/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=128484&#038;productid=1333652" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebags.com/carrie_va.....id=1333652</a><br /> My nails are painted silver. I purchased this OPI nail polish thinking that it would be a darker shade of gray, but it turned out to be silver!:( Not what I wanted but I hope that it will look pretty in the summer on my toenails.</p> <p>It is so nice to see all your different favorite outfits. </p> <p>GG and sinead - thank you for describing my outfits as glamorous.<br /> All the recent conversations on the forum about personal style made me think about my personal style as well. If I wanted to describe my style, glamor would be one of the words that I would use. I am glad to see that it came through.<br /> On the other hand, I started to wonder if I am dressing a bit older than my age. </p> <p>So here is my question to you all, if you don't mind answering. Strictly based on the way I dress, how old do you think I am? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-57175 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 17:12:15 +0000 Dani 57175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really do wear scarves well and they add such interest to your outfits. My favorites are the b&#38;w dress and the green cardigan with the red belt. Thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-57168 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 16:51:17 +0000 Angie 57168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS! You ooze with style, Bella. Quite the sight for sore eyes :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-57106 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 03:26:24 +0000 vera44 57106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look all good I like # 2 it looks so awesome you know what goes with what! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-57048 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 00:04:52 +0000 sinead 57048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GG found the word I was looking for- glamor! There's something beautifully glamorous about how you look and how you put together outfits! My fave is the layered dress- love the red belt with the black and white. And the brooch-on-belt is beautiful- what a great idea. You're always such an inspiration! Thanks for posting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-57037 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 23:33:44 +0000 greenglove 57037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are amazing!! I love every day, you have a great sense of what works for you, such drama and glamor! I love the red belt and I think the grey tonal outfit is beautiful, I do imagine it reads even better in person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-57023 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 21:05:24 +0000 hanna 57023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you're giving me lessons in texture! i've been wanting to mess with a textured/monochromatic look, but i haven't figured that out yet. </p> <p>you've got an eye for detail that just won't quit, girl! my faves: the red belt that pops in the black and white on friday, the brooch and belt combo, the peek of scarf on tuesday, the tights on thursday... phew. so much visual interest! you're inspiring </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-57000 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 19:49:17 +0000 Anonymous 57000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great week! My favorite is the layered dress with the red belt, but I was inspired by details from several outfits....the red belt on the green cardi, the flower brooch on the belt, the challenge of the all-grey outfit, etc. Thank you so much for posting these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-56990 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 19:00:46 +0000 Chris 56990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea - the brooch/belt. Great colors and combos. </p> <p>I find myself cutting those annoying tags off scarves with nail scissors as well.<br /> Not sure there is a solution other than seam ripper and lots of patience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-56988 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 18:46:26 +0000 Kari 56988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you have such a great sense of making different colors and patterns work. I love the black and white dress and the gray outfit because the textures/shapes are so interesting! Your self-made belt/brooch is awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-56969 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 16:50:14 +0000 Alecia 56969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, Bella! I love it when you post. I love how you've done tights in the pictures. The patterns are fabulous.</p> <p>The grey outfit is amazing. You have created interest with the different fabrics and sheens, a la Angie's suggestion.</p> <p>The brooch/belt outfit is great. Have you tried it without letting the green peek out from the bottom? I wonder if that extra length is just a bit too long with the skirt.</p> <p>I love the print of that dress in the layered dress outfit.</p> <p>And I have the same question about scarves. Why do they do that? It's so annoying. I get anxious about trying to remove the tags because often it appears that the tag is sewn into the finish work. Argh! It appears that cutting them off very carefully would be the best option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-56961 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 15:40:05 +0000 shiny 56961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3-26: I love how you chose a brown belt even though your boots and skirt are black. The green is a lovely color on you. I think you and I gravitate towards similar colors, so I'm taking notes. I don't think i would've considered wearing my green tops with black but it works. </p> <p>3-25: I'm going to steal this idea from you. I have a black and white scarf and a fuschia cardi. I think this is my favorite of the week! You're so pretty in pink. </p> <p>3-24: what color handbag did you wear with this? curious... I do like this except that there is something off about the cardi for me. I think it is the length, or the bulkiness? I think you look better proportioned in other cardi+belt+skirt outfits. Yes, I think it is the cardi length that is off to me. The skirt is very cute. Are your nails painted white?</p> <p>3-23: LOVE the brooch and belt combo! And textured tights! </p> <p>3-20: this outfit is a 10. So sleek and sophisticated. You wear black very well. </p> <p>I do take the tags off my scarves, when I remember. I just cut them off so they aren't as obvious. I get very annoyed by these tags. My other pet peeve are those security tags in clothing. Even if they don't show, you know they are there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-56955 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 14:51:19 +0000 bella 56955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the compliments and the suggestions for scarf tags. I am really afraid of ruining my beloved scarves. </p> <p>I am glad to see that the reaction to the belt and brooch was overall positive. As I said, I have a couple of more ideas so stay tuned! </p> <p>Kristen - You have a very keen eye, you've described the subtleties of Monday outfit better than I ever could. Thanks for your attention!</p> <p>Kellee - You have a great style. I am so happy to hear that you were inspired by some of my outfits. </p> <p>Antje - I can't wait to see your belt/brooch combo! My brooch is also second hand via ebay, it was cheap as dirt.<br /> I am exhilarated that you and Angie talked about me, thank you so much, what a compliment!!!</p> <p>One final word about scarves: Since I use scarves so much, you can imagine that it is hard for me to put together refined, polished looks in the summer when it is too warm to put on so many layers. I like spring and summer, but getting dressed is a bigger challenge. I will rely on your example and ideas in the upcoming months! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-56934 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 09:45:51 +0000 Louise 56934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great. I love your use of colour x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-56915 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 04:18:09 +0000 anne 56915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're an inspiration Bella! Always so polished and put together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-56911 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 03:27:50 +0000 Antje 56911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, thank you for posting, I always drool over your outfits. I love them all, and would wear many of them myself, including last Friday's (layered b&#38;w dress) and Wednesday's outfit with the skinnies, pink cardi and dramatic scarf. SO FAB. </p> <p>I love the belt with the flower pin (so funny - I wore this today, too, and mine also was a handmade creation with a belt from H&#38;M and a thrifted brooch). And you are the queen of scarves. So today I was shopping with Angie and a client (who's a good friend of mine) and she was looking for accessories, including scarves. And we talked about you and how we can learn great scarf tricks from you. Your claim to fame :-)</p> <p>I also like the grey outfit. Initially I took a glance and thought "too grey for my taste" but then I looked more closely and was smitten by how much interest you created with the scarf and the earrings.</p> <p>Anyway, all of it is fabulous and I already look forward to your next batch of pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-56877 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 01:23:44 +0000 Asha 56877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all - especially the brooch/belt combo. I love how you wear belts.<br /> I remove the tags on all my scarves - carefully, because I've ripped some and made holes when I've done it too quickly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-56861 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:52:13 +0000 Kellee 56861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you work all of your accessories into your outfits.<br /> The layering is so well done. Texture, shape, proportions.<br /> I think my body is similar in shape to yours and I have come away with lots of ideas from this weeks outfits.<br /> Thank you so much for posting them all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-56860 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:49:15 +0000 Lee Hovey 56860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful as always Bella! I love your use of boots, belts and scarves... and even shades :)</p> <p>I don't own a lot of scarves but the ones I do have I cut the tag as close to the seem as possible, so it's not so glaringly obvious anymore.</p> <p>My favorite outfit is the pink sweater, you look so fabulously glamorous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-56849 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:23:32 +0000 Tanya 56849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another amazing week Bella! I adore Monday too, such a cool idea. And I love how every outfit features a belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-56845 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 23:58:48 +0000 Kristen 56845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS week! I love, love, love Monday's outfit; the belt and brooch is darling, but I am crazy about way the cables in sweater, the green of the blouse and the striped in the scarf all come together beautifully. Add in the chevron stripes in the skirt and the pattern on the hose, and it is just a delight from head to toe. It's a lot of patterns at once, but they're all subtle and they all work. LOVE.</p> <p>I think the monochrome gray comes across very well in the photo. I love the richness of it.</p> <p>For scarves, I cut all the tags off. Very, very carefully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-56841 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 23:30:53 +0000 April 56841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the belt with the brooch! At first I overlooked your note saying that they were separate, and thought this was a very cool flower belt like the turquoise one in Angie's blog post from the other day. Looks great.</p> <p>And OMG -- you asked my most nagging question! What's up with those stupid tags on scarves and what DO people do about them? When I'm feeling extremely patient, I use a seam ripper and detach the stitches one by one, but on a scarf tag the stitches can be extremely tiny and tight (and yes, I have made little holes in more than one scarf). Does this problem have a solution? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recent-outfits-0327#post-56835 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 22:47:27 +0000 bella 56835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As usual, first here is the link to the whole set:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26160917@N03/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/26160917@N03/</a><br /> The pictures will be in reverse order. Feel free to browse through other pictures and leave messages if you like. </p> <p>1) Last Friday:<br /> Layering a dress.<br /> <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3611/3370809055_33d4a1f946.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm4.static.flickr.com.....a1f946.jpg</a></p> <p>2) Monday:<br /> <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3552/3379499780_8ec2514acd.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm4.static.flickr.com.....514acd.jpg</a><br /> This is my attempt to accessorize the skinny belt with a brooch. I have a couple of more ideas (with another belt and brooch). Let me know what you think about this one. </p> <p>3)Tuesday<br /> <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3382868286_c5a7ba4a64.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm4.static.flickr.com.....ba4a64.jpg</a><br /> I think Angie mentioned in another thread that you can dress in gray from head to toe but they should be all different shades. I think this fits the bill. This outfit also reminded me a comment Greenglove once made about outfits with subdued colors and how they look more interesting in real life than in pictures. I think this was the case for Tuesday's outfit. </p> <p>4) Wednesday<br /> <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3437/3385248483_eea4f87448.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm4.static.flickr.com.....f87448.jpg</a><br /> You can see the tag on the scarf, arghhh! What do you do with tags on scarves, do you remove them?</p> <p>5) Thursday<br /> <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3427/3387013639_8f11e85cf2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm4.static.flickr.com.....e85cf2.jpg</a><br /> The shirt is ruffled, you can't really see it well from the flash. </p> <p>Comments and suggestions are welcome as always!<br /> Thanks in advance. </p>
