I bought a floral mask on Etsy because the fabric made my heart soar a little bit, and that was enough to help me through some stress, too.</p> <p>Thinking of you and yours during this stressful time - being apart *and* unable to go to loved ones is incredibly difficult. Hoping Sam loved on you lots today!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ootd-my-avant-garde/page/2#post-2113208 Fri, 10 Apr 2020 20:15:37 +0000 rachylou 2113208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad your dad is feeling a little better, Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ootd-my-avant-garde/page/2#post-2113206 Fri, 10 Apr 2020 19:30:45 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2113206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Super cool outfit, Angie. I love the indoor version, and the one with the jacket and bag. And pic #8 looks like a magazine cover!! You are so talented and creative. Good job, managing things with your dad from afar.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad. I well remember that flurry of phone calls and text messages from when my own dad was going through a medical crisis, just on the other side of the country. It's so draining. You're a wonderful daughter, and your positive energy is contagious, even with social distancing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ootd-my-avant-garde/page/2#post-2113190 Fri, 10 Apr 2020 18:02:05 +0000 Angie 2113190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sam appreciates his compliments too!<div><br /></div><div>I hope your families and parents far away are doing okay too.

Thank you very much for your kind and compassionate words. They make a difference.</p> <p><b><i></i></b><i></i><u>UPDATE:</u><i></i><b><i></i></b> I spoke to my Dad, and he seems better today.

Thank you.&nbsp;</p> <p>The structure of that dress is tremendous, and you look amazing. The photo of dress on the model is nothing like what happens when you wear this piece! Someday when we see each other again in person and I do a shopping session with you, please find me something structured and avant guard that I would never be able to choose on my own. Now I have something to look forward to!</p> <p>Sending strength and patience and grace to work through these issues with your father.

Hugs to you.</p> <p>I like that COS dress very much — it has a similar vibe to my only COS piece, my black sleeveless dress that is waiting for warmer summer weather. I suppose if I were going somewhere I could try it over a sleeved top and a pair of slim pants, but alas, I’m home with big hairy dogs, which does not really play well with a voluminous black dress. LOL I like that you have styled it to be a very *you* piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ootd-my-avant-garde#post-2113153 Fri, 10 Apr 2020 15:25:45 +0000 Kate 2113153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m so sorry to hear your dad is unwell. I hope he improves quickly.</p> <p>I love your dress. I have the exact same one, which I bought at the COS store in Stockholm years ago. That was a fun excursion. It’s one of my favorite dresses, and I have worn it over both jeans and trousers. I love the controlled volume of it, and its beautiful drape. I especially love the dress with the topper you chose—a beautiful color combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ootd-my-avant-garde#post-2113151 Fri, 10 Apr 2020 15:12:28 +0000 CocoLion 2113151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>/..

I like the way it falls back against you as in photo #6. Your pearls are the perfect addition to pretty up your outfit. I know how hard it can be to have an aging dad who is alone even 4 hours away by car. On a different continent must be really hard. I hope for a speedy and complete recovery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ootd-my-avant-garde#post-2113109 Fri, 10 Apr 2020 12:33:24 +0000 anchie 2113109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear about your dad, so stressful. Hope he fully recovers quickly.</p> <p>I must admit, I prefer the outfit without the jacket. I did order the same jacket some time ago, but found it too stiff, so I returned it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ootd-my-avant-garde#post-2113106 Fri, 10 Apr 2020 12:29:45 +0000 Anonymous 2113106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry your dear dad has been ill- wish you could go see him!<br /> Love photo #8 so much :)<br /> That olive really brings out your eyes, and the combo with the blue and blush is so pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ootd-my-avant-garde#post-2113105 Fri, 10 Apr 2020 12:28:30 +0000 Preppy Pear 2113105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wishing you a little extra strength to support your dad so far away, and best wishes for his quick recovery.</p> <p>As a proud member of Team Silhouette and Team Volume, I love the volume on the dress with the straight-leg jeans, and the unexpected combo with the shorter jacket. Very inspiring, and as you say, still authentically you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ootd-my-avant-garde#post-2113102 Fri, 10 Apr 2020 12:24:46 +0000 pil 2113102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, how stressful for you and your brother but I’m glad you said he’s doing better.<br />And Photo #8! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ootd-my-avant-garde#post-2113082 Fri, 10 Apr 2020 07:30:29 +0000 Jane 2113082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It must be very tough being so far away from your dear Papa during these times. Wishing you well in the sorting out of arrangements, and hopefully the stress has eased off a bit.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love your outfit! It is interesting to see how you have done this IRL and particularly how the topper fits. Look at little Sam! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ootd-my-avant-garde#post-2113081 Fri, 10 Apr 2020 07:26:20 +0000 Zaeobi 2113081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Best wishes for your father, Angie. I'm currently juggling worried relatives in Hong Kong, Pakistan, the UK &amp; the USA, so I understand the timezone thing! </p> <p>It's amazing how different the dress looks on you (in real life) compared to on the model. I prefer the way the hem falls in your more voluminous version </p> <p>I don't think of this combo as 'odd' per se (your blog post), but that may be because I did the OG 'dresses over trousers' look a lot in my youth - aka shalwar kameez &amp; kurti This was before I found a way to wear western clothing in a way that honours my modesty guidelines without frump (seems you've found it too!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ootd-my-avant-garde#post-2113080 Fri, 10 Apr 2020 07:09:47 +0000 anne 2113080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I am so sorry to hear that your dad is unwell. It must be so hard not to be able to be with him.<br /> And picture 8 must be one of the best photos of you ever! You are luminous! </p> <p>I like your outfit and it's certainly the closest to avant-garde I have seen you wear.<br /> I confess though that I am not completely sold on the jacket with it. Indeed jackets with tunics are quite a challenge in general I think, and especially a voluminous one like that. </p>
