Gorgeous together and on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-858206 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 03:06:38 +0000 Day Vies 858206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi -- You are so insightful! I completely agree the simplest outfits are the hardest to pull together. I kept trying to find the source where I'd seen an infinity scarf looped in this way -- but I can't. Either way I'm glad I remembered the look.</p> <p>Deb -- I totally agree. I am such a stickler about my time. I want to be the only one who wastes it. I do love your idea of charging them for the time -- such an empowering and enriching concept </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-858201 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 02:54:20 +0000 deb 858201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel that we should be able to charge the person/company for our time when kept waiting. They have the right to charge us for a no show. I have bargained for a discounted service fee or free samples for the whole prescription time from the doc, though. You looked great in your waiting attire, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-858196 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 02:44:47 +0000 Jjsloane 858196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How did you not get noticed at the doctor?? You look amazing. I am also quite amazed that our time is valued so little that common courtesy is not observed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-858177 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 01:59:25 +0000 Jaime 858177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you certainly look amazing! It is not just the stunning colors but the exact fit and proportion of the pieces. Not just gorgeous -impressive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-858165 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 01:31:55 +0000 Suz 858165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My theory is they never called you in the doc's office because they wanted to keep you there as long as possible as eye candy for the other patients!! </p> <p>Well, maybe not, since some of those patients probably couldn't see...but it COULD have been that. </p> <p>You looked amazing. I am so sorry the morning was a frustrating one. I hate that kind of thing as well, and I am glad you said "enough!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-858135 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 00:38:12 +0000 Mochi 858135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And if you kept THEM waiting, they'd charge you for their time. It kills, doesn't it? </p> <p>But speaking of killer, that is another home run of an outfit. Something about the color combo, the intriguing drape of the scarf, the deceptive simplicity (those "simple" looks are often the most challenging to pull off, right?). Anyway, you look fabulous. Better luck next time at the doc's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-858112 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 23:55:31 +0000 4babiesMe 858112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty! Love the colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-858110 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 23:52:41 +0000 Janet 858110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that color combo, and your hair looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-858102 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 23:22:16 +0000 Thistle 858102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I HATE it when they leave me sitting there, no update, no apologies. Absolutely NO excuse for it!!! You are taking MY time, that is why I made an appointment! Argh!</p> <p>Anyway, you looked FANTASTIC doing it. Love the bright colors on you and the grounded trousers. That turquoise is just gorgeous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-858072 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 22:34:12 +0000 Vildy 858072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adelpha, Day Vies is lithe. Usually women who are lithe are depicted wearing neutral tones and possibly a lot of fabric dripping off, like modern dance ballerinas. But Day Vies has those sassy color combos going on at the same time - it's unexpected and very pleasing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-858066 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 22:16:45 +0000 Caro in Oz 858066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my these might be my favourite colours on you:)<br /> I have a mound of clothing to go to the tailors too:)</p> <p>I agree about being kept waiting - if it's a one off &amp; they explain the situation I understand; but so called professionals who think their time is more important than mine...I don't think so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-858052 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 21:49:15 +0000 sarah 858052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, that is miserable. I would have made a stink. Anyway, you look terrific. Those colors together are amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-858040 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 21:36:21 +0000 columbine(erin) 858040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, I really like turquoise and red together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-858030 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 21:28:00 +0000 Beth Ann 858030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous color and silhouette, DV.

Discovering that I have been waiting around for NOTHING is the fastest way to make me mad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-857978 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 20:54:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 857978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't you just hate sitting around waiting for NOTHING???!!!! But you look darned fab for doing just that - red and turquoise is just a WOW combination on you DV.</p> <p>You're going to feel like you have a new wardrobe when you get all of your stuff back from the tailor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-857954 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 20:41:04 +0000 Tina.b 857954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Turquoise and red is my all time favourite colour combination. I've never actually worn it, use it more as design inspiration, but you've proven how stunning it is. Love the fit of the outfit on you, and the vibrant colour just makes you shine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-857951 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 20:39:26 +0000 pil 857951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two colors I wouldn't think to combine (coral and turquoise, yes) and they look great. Love the length of the sweater. Looking forward to pics of your taiilored pieces and a boo hiss to the doctor's office. Unless you went on the wrong day - I'm pretty sure I've done that : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-857947 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 20:38:03 +0000 Adelfa 857947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's something about you and your style that I can't put my finger on. Your outfits just sing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-way-to-the-tailors#post-857937 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 20:35:17 +0000 Day Vies 857937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got up earlier than I normally would this morning because I had an appointment with the eye doctor for my annual checkup. Little did I know that would not happen. I sat in the waiting area for 1 hr and 10 minutes (granted I did show up 20 minutes early) and one ever called my name. I decided that regardless of what type of excuse could be offered I was done politely waiting. So I left. I had no intention of giving them ALL of my Saturday. My biggest pet peeve is people who waste my time with poor customer service coming in at a close second.</p> <p>I was carrying with me several items of clothing for the tailor. This more than made up for the wasted hour I'd spent waiting on the eye doctor. I can't wait to get them back next week Saturday. 2 suits: 1 dark red, 1 silver, 1 skirt, 1 dress, 3 pairs of trousers one of which I will have tapered and one gray green twill jacket that I miss wearing so much. (Yes there will be pictures, and thank you Joy for the idea to taper the trousers </p> <p>Oh, the most important part of this post is what I wore. The proportions on the original outfit I had in mind did not work so I went through several combinations until I came up with this. Let me know what you think -- I was inspired by the dark red and turquoise combination. </p>
