Anyway, your wonderful and kind comments are truly appreciated and I am just too eager to look at what I missed to respond individually.&nbsp;<br />Special thanks for the hair comments - I do feel so much more myself since I cut it, and do think it helps me feel good wearing vintage! :)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg-challenge#post-2152182 Wed, 04 Nov 2020 16:24:34 +0000 nemosmom 2152182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I wouldn't give to spend a day playing in your closet!&nbsp; You have the best pieces, and they work SOOOO beautifully for you.&nbsp; More!

Esp love the pearls-and have to confess I really like your nr 1&amp;2 in spite of all my rejecting comments on Angie's thread! But you know,&nbsp;&nbsp;I always find your gorgeous hair can carry all the vintage/second hand/oldie but goodie pieces and hard (for me at least) looks with such a panache and make them look the most easy and trendy in the world! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg-challenge#post-2152085 Wed, 04 Nov 2020 06:42:15 +0000 Jenni NZ 2152085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to come too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg-challenge#post-2152082 Wed, 04 Nov 2020 06:30:12 +0000 Sal 2152082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What wonderful looks you have created here.

And wow, I love the contrast between the ladylike and bright #6 and the more tomboyish #2. You can do it all.&nbsp;</p> <p>Plus, may I just say, you look, ahem, <b>SO</b> much more "yourself" now that you are back to an asymmetrical cut? :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg-challenge#post-2151854 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 18:00:16 +0000 Angie 2151854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your equestrian looks are STINKING CUTE! LOVE! You MUST wear them! #2 and #5 are faves :)</p> <p>As for #6....well.....I'm humbled!

I adore the equestrian vibe of 2 and the white out on the bottom of the last photo. Those loose jeans tucked in the boots is such a fab look. I LOVE it. Omg, I need to go recover from your gorgeous style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg-challenge#post-2151742 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 15:08:47 +0000 Carla 2151742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are making me weep! &nbsp;<i>Please&nbsp;</i>take me thrifting with you! &nbsp;#2 is perfect - why not wear it? &nbsp;Oh! &nbsp;#6! &nbsp;Got it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg-challenge#post-2151710 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 14:11:08 +0000 Anonymous 2151710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Irina. These are treasures and I love how you style them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg-challenge#post-2151706 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 14:05:19 +0000 Irina 2151706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have fantastic treasures in your wardrobe! My favorite is the outfit with a blazer, second is the white jeans outfit with great white boots. I envy those who can wear light color boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg-challenge#post-2151704 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 13:58:06 +0000 Minaminu 2151704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fab outfits!!! I really like the proportions of each outfit, very inspiring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg-challenge#post-2151696 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 12:59:19 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2151696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore the equestrian vibe with those boots, but I'm so loving the blazer look in #5 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg-challenge#post-2151693 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 12:49:30 +0000 Bijou 2151693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia - you have some amazing finds and it is great to hear the story behind your beautiful pieces. THOSE BOOTS!! TDF and with the jeans, really you can't go wrong - but of all of these jeans and Fendi boots combinations - #2 stood out to me because it has an equestrian vibe.</p> <p>#5 is just beautiful - a gorgeous colour combination and shows how you cannot beat a good blazer for a timeless elegantly casual look.</p> <p>#6 is my favourite of the lot - so fresh, fun and 1960's mod.</p> <p>You need to play in your closet more often - only to provide such great entertainment to the forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg-challenge#post-2151689 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 12:25:19 +0000 Jaime 2151689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In dire need of distraction, Carla's challenge came to my rescue. These aren't really WIWs - more like closet play with an OBG theme.</p> <p>#1 and #2: I started out with the idea to pair my vintage 90s Helmut Lang jeans (my closet 5+ years) with my Fendi riding boots (second hand shock find at least 3 years ago). I was going for the baggy trouser tucked into boots look from <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2020/10/22/taller-boots-and-baggier-bottoms/">Angie's post</a>. Thrifted Agnes B. top. Hmm. Then added my old old Celine (pre-Phoebe Philo) second hand cropped jacket. Not sure I would wear this but fun to try.<br />#3 and 4&nbsp; Decided to go in a different direction with this blue Pleione top - an Angie pick that must be in my closet for more than 6 years. Mostly notable for side view of Fendi boots .<br />#5 Same top but changed to another pair of jeans that I think has been in my closet at least 5 years - second hand Current/Elliott boyfriends. Added second hand Isabel Marant blazer and thrifted vintage Fendi striped crossbody.<br />Finally, took an entirely different direction inspired partially by Angie, Suz's pearls and Angie's boots (3+&nbsp;years in my closet). Thrifted silk top, and white jeans.&nbsp;</p> <p>All thoughts, comments, questions, suggestions and possible distractions welcome as always! </p>
