Thanks for inspiring me! It was fun to do this. I've enjoyed your Pinspiration posts and agree that this exercise expanded my thinking about outfit composition. I plan to try it again in the future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-copying-sally-playing-with-my-frame-velvet-blazer-some-pinsperation#post-1731178 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 20:30:09 +0000 Sally 1731178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like no. 3 and no. 11....the one with the hat and the one with the scarf the best but they are all good. The reason I like those two the best is they are both snazzy and inject a bit of personality into the clothes.<br /> It's fun copying eh because it makes you think outside the box in terms of what you'd normally wear...otherwise I just put on same things in the same way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-copying-sally-playing-with-my-frame-velvet-blazer-some-pinsperation#post-1731137 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 18:57:44 +0000 Staysfit 1731137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why different people favor different outfits. It's no surprise that I have eclectic taste. It's like playing dress up! That's practically part of my job description. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-copying-sally-playing-with-my-frame-velvet-blazer-some-pinsperation#post-1731134 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 18:51:51 +0000 Sara L. 1731134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these are great interpretations of the pinterest looks.&nbsp; My favorite is the lace top (#8,9) and the stripes and plaid scarf.&nbsp; I really like the colors in your version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-copying-sally-playing-with-my-frame-velvet-blazer-some-pinsperation#post-1731131 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 18:34:04 +0000 annagybe 1731131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is #8-9 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-copying-sally-playing-with-my-frame-velvet-blazer-some-pinsperation#post-1731120 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 17:47:31 +0000 Suz 1731120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now, here's where you get to see, each to her own and it's all subjective, because I love the stripes and plaid look (your last one). Super fun! Though I would probably pair it with booties, myself (since my feet would be freezing in scarf weather).&nbsp;</p> <p>My favourite of all is the velvet and lace look -- just gorgeous on you! The straight legs work perfectly well as slim BF jeans. Fun how you have incorporated animal print and echoed it in the cognac/ luggage bag.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like your inspiration pic 2 also for its rich mix of neutrals and softness. Her hat has a smaller brim than yours so the effect is a bit different, to my eye. I think your outfit looks really good but I hear you on the nuisance of a dragging scarf. It is amazing how you sometimes only discover the impracticality of an idea when you try to put it to work! One trick I used one time with a long scarf, where I wanted a vertical line like that but it was floating/ dragging around too much -- I knotted the ends to they had a bit more weight than the rest -- sort of like a drapery weight. I don't know if it would work with all scarves. Mine was a very lightweight one and not thick.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-copying-sally-playing-with-my-frame-velvet-blazer-some-pinsperation#post-1731115 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 17:31:12 +0000 kikidee 1731115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the grey sweatshirt/ pg and the lace shirt versions best.<br /> I feel the last look has too much going on, but that's probably just me. The first one is ok, but the middle two are so good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-copying-sally-playing-with-my-frame-velvet-blazer-some-pinsperation#post-1731113 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 17:28:25 +0000 Jenn 1731113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these Pinterest photos! You're inspiring me to pull out the velvet blazer I inherited from my mom and see if anything can be done with it.</p> <p>I especially like the combinations with scarf and cross-body bag, as that seems to de-formalize the look in a way that really works for me. I love love love your outfit in photo #3, but it seems a little more boho than your usual? Nothing you've done is "frumpy-looking," but #11 is my least favorite. I don't think I'm used to seeing you in such high-contrast, structured outfits, in general, so it's taking some reframing. Do you feel like you in these? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-copying-sally-playing-with-my-frame-velvet-blazer-some-pinsperation#post-1731112 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 17:24:02 +0000 LaPed 1731112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love 10/11. Stripes and plaid! I think that will be as maximal as I get this year. And I like your jeans better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-copying-sally-playing-with-my-frame-velvet-blazer-some-pinsperation#post-1731105 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 17:15:10 +0000 Barbara Diane 1731105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like how different the outfits are. My favorite is also #8.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-copying-sally-playing-with-my-frame-velvet-blazer-some-pinsperation#post-1731093 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 16:55:51 +0000 Staysfit 1731093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I think you're right JAileen! &nbsp;It's a Scottie, not a Yorkie! &nbsp;Oh Well! &nbsp;It's still very cute, and they should make one with a Yorkie on it also for Angie and you should get one with a Scottie! &nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-copying-sally-playing-with-my-frame-velvet-blazer-some-pinsperation#post-1731090 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 16:47:49 +0000 JAileen 1731090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the lace and velvet look. You look wonderful!</p> <p>In one of your inspiration pics, #7, she has a Scottie belt buckle. I want one! Oh, I see you think it's a Yorkie. Hmmm.. I think it's too "sturdy" to be a Yorkie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab-copying-sally-playing-with-my-frame-velvet-blazer-some-pinsperation#post-1731077 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 16:30:57 +0000 Staysfit 1731077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My blue velvet Frame Blazer came back from the Tailor. &nbsp;I had ordered it in two sizes and kept the one that was too large. &nbsp;The tailor reduced it a bit, but not too much, because I kind of liked the over sized look. &nbsp;</p> <p>I did a Pinterest search to hunt for some inspiring ways to wear it. &nbsp;</p> <p>The first picture is not something I tried, but the jeans reminded me of the Frame Denim jeans that Una copied <b>with a twist.</b>&nbsp;<b>Look very carefully, one leg has a shorter hem in front, and one has a shorter hem in back?! </b>&nbsp;Okay, that's about as RATE as it gets right? &nbsp;What do you think?</p> <p><b>Pic two is my favorite look</b>. &nbsp;For whatever reason, I have a lot of looks with hats but I don't wear them very often because they aren't appropriate for indoors. &nbsp;I purchased one however, and I like it. &nbsp;I think the inspiration photo shows a white shirt, but I used a grey tank top instead. &nbsp;I don't have an animal print clutch. &nbsp;I decided my brown Donald Pliner equestrian booties, and a brown Coach bag with a brass horse logo would substitute. &nbsp;I'm not sure I would ever wear this because the scarf hanging like this is a nuisance! What do you think?</p> <p>SJP likes Velvet Blazers! &nbsp;I found a lot of pics featuring her. &nbsp;I struggled to find the right grey top. &nbsp;I tried a grey tee, a grey blouse and a grey sweatshirt instead. &nbsp;The sweatshirt worked best. &nbsp;The metallic finish shoes make the outfit, so I pulled out my Paul Green Dorsay pumps. &nbsp;It looks like she has some sort of fringe hanging from one arm. &nbsp;I put on a bracelet that has a fringe tassel. &nbsp;I didn't bother to push up my sleeves, that looked too rate for me. What do you think?</p> <p>My next look is a combination of two inspiration photos. I have been working to incorporate more texture, so I found this picture with a lace top underneath a velvet blazer. &nbsp;I also liked the next picture. &nbsp;<b>Notice the Yorkie/Scottie Belt? &nbsp;It made me think of Angie!</b> &nbsp;I liked the cuffed boyfriend jeans and it somehow inspired me to incorporate my animal print Beautifeel pumps. &nbsp;I never purchased classic boyfriend jeans, maybe I'm the only person who didn't? &nbsp;In any case, these are straight leg jeans, (Joes Jeans) not boyfriend, but they are large on me. &nbsp;</p> <p>My final look is clearly a departure. &nbsp;I do not wear ripped jeans, but I liked the idea of some sort of interesting detail for the jeans. &nbsp;I decided on pattern, and paired my polka dot Hudson Jeans with a striped shirt, and plaid scarf from J Crew. &nbsp;The color scheme is are clearly different from the original. &nbsp;I chose shoes to bookend the jacket, similar to what was done in the inspiration picture. &nbsp;In this case, some Thierry Rabotin flats. Maybe mine is a more polished version? &nbsp;Is it frumpy looking? &nbsp;What do you think?</p> </p>
