I'm catching my breath here, that is a gorgeous outfit! WOW! The colours, the pinstripe trousers, the texture and that fantastic pin!</p> <p>Pure perfection! A big YES to flower pins for you!!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75906 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 05:41:37 +0000 Asha 75906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look sensational! I adore purple and green, but I've never combined citron and purple - you're an inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75902 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 05:38:28 +0000 Kari 75902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous color combination! You look awesome, April.</p> <p>A few months back I saw someone wear that very same flower pin with jeans, a graphic tee, and a black vest. It was perfect. I couldn't find that flower at F21 when I looked a few weeks ago (though it's online), but I found a very similar one this past weekend. Hooray for cheap but not cheap-looking accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75857 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 02:50:31 +0000 taylor 75857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha,:) Yes April, I am a AT on Mon. and or Tues. for about 3/4 hrs. only each day.:) Just enough time to shop and buy:) I am in the Salon... Thurs...Fri. and Sat.:)</p> <p>I am not sure what size you are?</p> <p>I would be happy to send you special sale info in your size. Let me know if your interested in something...or everything :)( feel free to contact me for more info:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75849 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 02:24:15 +0000 April 75849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To all - thank you for your very kind words. I had fun wearing this outfit and am so glad it has received YLF approval. The jeans with their pinstriping and high-waist tailoring almost don't look like denim - I wonder if anyone would complain if I wore this combination to work. (It's funny how "no denim" eliminates smart trouser-ish jeans yet permits the baggy, cotton knit, elastic-waist pants that I have seen so many teachers wearing in my schools - often paired with a holiday-applique sweater. Something askew there.)</p> <p>Shana, I remember that way back you had mentioned something about wanting a purple flower pin -- at the time, I almost posted to offer you mine because it was still sitting in the closet in its cellophane wrapper. Anyway, since I selfishly kept it, I'm glad you got one too! </p> <p>Jean - it means a lot to me to have commentary on a color combination from a true artist. </p> <p>Taylor - since we are so close in shape and you probably try on everything that comes through AT in our size range, I hope you'll always let me know when something great turns up. (When do you have time to work there when you're also styling hair? Let me guess - Mondays.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75847 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 02:17:37 +0000 Danja 75847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Flower pins? YES, most definitely! Sorry I am yelling, but I love flower pins. They add something so romantic to an outfit.<br /> I love how you combined different colours and patterns in your outfit. Very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75748 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 18:49:19 +0000 Vani 75748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh....so you, so perfect April! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75719 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:52:14 +0000 Srujana 75719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never paired purple with any shade of green...but you've completely opened my eyes to how fantastic a combo it is! Its a great look for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75651 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:25:50 +0000 greenglove 75651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfection!!! You are lovely. The contrast of citron and purple is brilliant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75649 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:12:28 +0000 shana 75649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, love the flower pin on you! Of course, I might be biased since I have the very same one!!! I thrifted a purple wool blazer/jacket a couple of months ago (similar to the J Crew astrid jacket) but it seemed a little blah so I was looking for a purple flower pin. I really liked the one that Shiny got at the AT outlet but we only have a loft outlet nearby. I ended up with this one as well as another one from F 21 that is supposed to be a hair tie (I'll just cut out the tie &#38; add a pin). Anyway, the outfit looks fab as is but the flower pin gives it an extra boost and the purple with the citron is such a great color combo. I adore the shoes!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75648 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:11:36 +0000 susan 75648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75611 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 03:59:43 +0000 taylor 75611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you feeling the LOVE!!

Flower pin is perfect </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75530 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 19:28:43 +0000 Angie 75530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>* big sigh of happiness* </p> <p>love the love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75525 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 19:12:47 +0000 Alecia 75525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think it's wonderful. The shirt color is gorgeous. Just love it. The addition of purple and pinstripe are so fab. </p> <p>I also think the quote from Significant Other is so sweet. It's so nice to have a man recognize the evolution, don't you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75521 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 19:07:24 +0000 Louise 75521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April another yes from me. Glad your other half likes the outfit too x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75515 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 18:50:42 +0000 April 75515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear significant other is honored that his opinion is being solicited by our Angie, and has asked me to provide the following quotation about his reaction to the outfit pictured above (which I wore on the train to meet him):</p> <p>"I was gobsmacked. I thought it was striking and am enjoying this recent introduction of more color. My thanks to Angie and everyone on YLF for creating such a supportive environment for women to express themselves through their clothing."</p> <p>I swear to you, this man really does exist. &lt;VBG&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75501 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 17:40:17 +0000 Kyle 75501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the flower pin look in general, and the way you are wearing it specifically. What a great contrast with the "seriousness" of a suit. All of the proportions are beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75497 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 17:28:29 +0000 Kristen 75497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that was DEFINITELY worth the wait! I love, love, LOVE you in that! The citron and purple look terrific together. I love that top on you without the jacket just as much as I love it peeking out from the jacket collar!</p> <p>I think the proportion of the flower pin is not too big or too too small; it's just right, Goldlocks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75496 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 17:25:25 +0000 Angie 75496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is NO stopping our gorgeous, April! A resounding YES to floral pins from this peanut gallery. The scale and delicateness of the flower is PERFECT – and so is your outfit. I’m throwing in another KILLER too. I adore purple matched with green and it looks stellar on you. You clever little sausage :0)</p> <p>What did dear significant other think of this ensemble? Hope it met with his approval. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75495 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 17:18:47 +0000 April 75495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I think I fixed the links. Thank you for your patience. Photobucket was behaving oddly yesterday and I see Greg has now fixed the style sheet on the Forum (thank you, Greg -- you may know how addicted we all are...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75474 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 16:13:00 +0000 Kristen 75474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, the site's working again (thanks, Greg!) but I am still unable to see the Photobucket photos. April, the links take me to the main Photobucket page; can you check if they're right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-with-flower-pin#post-75469 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 15:13:52 +0000 Kristen 75469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay so it's not just me that is having troubles.

Inge -- this pin is very deep purple, and my other is the same one in a nude shade, both were under $5 at F21.</p> <p>AT citron top; R&#38;S pinstriped jeans; Me Too Salems in purple; AT jacket.</p> <p>(I stuck my foot out to show my shoe, but I promise these jeans are hemmed for PPL with these shoes.)</p> <p>Under the jacket:</p> <p><a href="http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/AprilYLF/Flower%20Pin%20Outift/IMG_0298-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i649.photobucket.com/al.....0298-1.jpg</a></p> <p>With jacket and pin:</p> <p><a href="http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/AprilYLF/Flower%20Pin%20Outift/IMG_0300-1-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i649.photobucket.com/al.....00-1-1.jpg</a></p> <p>The shoes:</p> <p><a href="http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/AprilYLF/Flower%20Pin%20Outift/IMG_0302.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i649.photobucket.com/al.....G_0302.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/AprilYLF/Flower%20Pin%20Outift/IMG_0301.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i649.photobucket.com/al.....G_0301.jpg</a></p> <p>So flower pins on me -- yes or no? </p>
