I like the soft new haircut. I like what you're doing with those plaid pants (I have them too) and the lighter color boots.</p> <p>Your exercise buddies are so fashionable. There's one girl I talk to a lot and always see at the studio and in winter she wears this lumpy brown down coat. It looks like what you might imagine! I wish to take it away and burn it and set her on a new path. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-new-haircut-a-few-old-with-new-looks#post-1400759 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 23:58:27 +0000 Debbie 1400759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful.

Fabulous outfits Vicki! Love the plaid pants and the hounds tooth dress. The casual top, scarf and jeans in 12/13 has lovely soft colours and your&nbsp;new scarf is great.</p> <p>What a fab bunch you make in #14!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-new-haircut-a-few-old-with-new-looks#post-1400593 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 17:27:35 +0000 Marley 1400593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>P.S. Forgot to mention that your exercise group looks fantastic! I love the<br /> Looks of that drapey cape/sweater top - such a beautiful color! And the woman standing next to u is wearing satin harem pants? I wanna' go to lunch with these women! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-new-haircut-a-few-old-with-new-looks#post-1400574 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 16:40:35 +0000 Anonymous 1400574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny, I didn't even make the connection that these outfits read more "casual" than dressy. I only know that they look fantastic! You don't need to wear pointy-toed high heels to have a smashing look. Maybe I'm drawn to the authenticity in these, too. They are inherently effortless and wearable. DH likes your hair air-dried too, BTW! He says it's very youthful looking as opposed to the perfection of a blow-out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-new-haircut-a-few-old-with-new-looks#post-1400568 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 16:32:26 +0000 jackiec 1400568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in each and every photo. I love your hair, and all your shots are so inspirational! I, too, have 4 pairs of those AE jeans, but not yet in grey! Note to self, get the grey ones....(I didn't know they came in grey ). My fav is 12/13. The soft colours are so pretty on you - what a lovely scarf gift! I, too, like how you've tied it. Wow. I'm coming back to study these, Vicki :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-new-haircut-a-few-old-with-new-looks#post-1400549 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 15:10:45 +0000 texstyle 1400549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic outfits all around, you look beautiful in all of them and I love your hair.

If I lived in CA, I'd be in light denim all year round!&nbsp; The plaid pants are particularly fab paired with the silky top -- that unexpected pairing really takes the whole look up a notch.</p> <p>I appreciate the way your style if fresh and modern, but also practical for daily activities.&nbsp; This is one of the best aspects of the forum --- seeing women learn how to make style work for the way they actually live. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-new-haircut-a-few-old-with-new-looks#post-1400438 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 04:45:46 +0000 Vicki 1400438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alaskagirl, I'm so happy you're part of the AE love and while I know you live on the same coast, oh do I wish you lived closer! Thank you for the love.</p> <p>suzyq, thanks and the plaid pants are workhorses for me. </p> <p>Deb, I miss you, my roomie, and, yes, you will love these little socks. </p> <p>Aida, thank you for your attention to detail, which helps me take a second look at my outfits. As for the styles of the luncheon group, I was blown away by each of them, especially the two I mentioned. I saw a lot of creativity in action. </p> <p>Suz, I love the idea that I share some of your closet items and that's because I love your style. As for the AE's, I sized up per Rae's recommendation. As you can see from these photos, I bought a 6 and would normally be a 2 or 4 in other brands. </p> <p>Firecracker, thanks and I love this little houndstooth dress. The scarf trick I got when I opened up the package and there was a diagram on how stylist Josh Peskowitz of InStyle twists and tucks it. Always a student, I am. :)</p> <p>Shevia, you make my heart sing always. Thank you!! I mean this from the bottom of my grateful heart. </p> <p>Claire, I'm glowing from your tutelage and kind words. You know, these outfits are "me" as I'm a rather casual person through and through. Thank you for seeing that part of me and I'm glad it's working here.</p> <p>Caro, thank you, and I'm glad you like the newer hairstyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-new-haircut-a-few-old-with-new-looks#post-1400436 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 04:38:05 +0000 Caro in Oz 1400436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't pick favourites either - you look fantastic &amp; I love your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-new-haircut-a-few-old-with-new-looks#post-1400418 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 03:36:08 +0000 Anonymous 1400418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously Vicki, I think these are some of your BEST outfits ever! I really love the pictures from Vegas, with the Burberry scarf, navy cashmere V-neck and leather moto. Wow! Also great with the nude oxfords. the casual Vince T-shirt and grey jeans looks so effortless with your new (gifted) scarf. The bright pink on it just lights up your face. Your new 'do looks natural and pretty. I like your hair slightly longer like this, it's very soft looking. :)</p> <p>Hey do you remember the Magnificent 7 from Parisian Chic? It looks like you have most of the seven items and you're putting them to good use. And I'll&nbsp;<i>say</i> do you ever look chic!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-new-haircut-a-few-old-with-new-looks#post-1400406 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 03:10:53 +0000 Jaime 1400406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Vicki, what a visual treat! You look spectacular. I really can't pick out favorites. You do great things with scarves, the skinnies look incredible on you, and everything is just right. Love the picture of 'ladies who workout' too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-new-haircut-a-few-old-with-new-looks#post-1400402 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 03:02:10 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1400402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all such fun outfits, and so very&nbsp; you. I really love that houndstooth dress with the velvet blazer, tights, and ballet flats. And your scarf trick is so cool. You've reminded me that I wanted to try it again.</p> <p>Your haircut is fab, too!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-new-haircut-a-few-old-with-new-looks#post-1400358 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 01:16:02 +0000 Suz 1400358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, you are one gorgeous and incredibly stylish lady! Wow! I am taking notes, especially when it comes to our shared items, the Kut jeans and the kitty &nbsp;print shirt. But I also adore the way you have fixed your scarf -- amazing!! &nbsp;-- and envy you those cool little bootie socks. Very clever idea. Your hair looks terrific!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think I need those light grey AE skinnies. Can you please remind me which ones they are when you get a chance? And did you size up or no?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-new-haircut-a-few-old-with-new-looks#post-1400353 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 01:09:19 +0000 Aida 1400353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woo! What a treat Love the new 'do, it looks really good both styled sleek and left a bit wavy (which I just adore on you by the way). The soft styling of the MIAs in #1/2 is really lovely Vicki. I can see why it pleased you! I always enjoy seeing that cute kitty blouse. The leather jacket in #4 is amazing, I can't get over it! Fun to see it styled with the JCrew scarf trick. I quite like the long blazer paired with the houndstooth sack dress, really fresh proportions. (Man, I need to get some longer blazers!) #12/13 is perfectly casual cool yet soft and pretty, those are some great jeans. The luncheon group looks super! Were you surprised about any of their styles or did you guess right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-new-haircut-a-few-old-with-new-looks#post-1400348 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 01:01:11 +0000 deb 1400348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of the looks.

Brand skinnies and my ever-present Michael Kors reversible belt, which I find indispensable.</div><div><br /> </div><div>4-6. &nbsp;I was in Las Vegas for a few days and decided to emulate LACeleste who inspired me here with a vintage Wilson Maxima striped black and cream moto jacket and my navy Zara V-neck and Gap dark-wash Real Straight 1969 jeans. &nbsp;I know this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it is for me, and I LOVE wearing my Burberry scarf (or any scarf, for that matter, as I did with a blue animal print one, the other day)&nbsp;under my V-neck sweater to minimize the opening for my giraffe neck, keep my neck cozy and warm on these cooler days and evenings and to add a sweetness of sorts with a skirt-like effect, which is&nbsp;somewhat kilt-like, and it’s been fun for this season. &nbsp;The bonus is that this styling truly keeps my neck warm and yet it’s NOT all bunched around my neck in typical fashion.</div><div> ETA: 16-17 When I wore this combo with my Cole Haan tan-citron oxfords.<br /> </div><div>7-10. &nbsp;My old H&amp;M houndstooth dress is being worn a great deal, because it’s so easy to add my new J. Crew black velvet blazer, my Commando black tights and AGL black ballet flats.</div><div><br /> </div><div>11. &nbsp;My goofy photo when I was in Miami, FL, with my brother as a guest at his conference and I was biking with a group of financial advisors along Key Biscayne. &nbsp;It was a glorious, if not fashionable, day, and I was the only one to take my purse with me! &nbsp;Did I say “geek”? &nbsp;They had to add a basket for me! &nbsp;Oh, well, that's the way I roll.&nbsp; ☺</div><div><br /> </div><div>12-13. &nbsp;New scarf and old AE jeans: &nbsp;Each woman attending the conference in Miami was given a scarf by Leigh and Luca, in one of three different colorways. &nbsp;I’m wearing mine here, back in California, with my American Eagle grey skinnies (one of my favorites, as I wave to Marley and Rae, my triplets-in-action) and my white Vince long-sleeved tee, which was on one of Angie’s stellar lists, along with my taupe Sam Edelman booties, another Angie recommendation.</div><div><br /> </div><div>14. &nbsp;Luncheon at Tommy Bahamas with some of my workout women. &nbsp;They recently initiated a lunch gathering every few months and I was invited to join them. &nbsp;It’s hard to see, but the lovely lady, front left, wore this amazing two-tone drapey sweater and cape combination that buttoned on one side. &nbsp;The other lovely woman, standing next to me, had on a pair of taupe satin harem pants, so it was fun to see how everyone “dressed” outside the exercise studio. (I'm wearing my black and white geometric print Equipment blouse with my black J. Brand jeans)</div><div><br /> </div><div>15. &nbsp;On Angie’s list of socks for the season was this pair of Calvin Klein ballet socks and may I just take a moment to&nbsp;say that, for me, this may be the HG of socks for booties. &nbsp;The snug fit, cross-over bands and low coverage are making these my go-to in the sock drawer. &nbsp;I also bought them in white and may go back for duplicates; that’s how much I love them.</div><div><br /> </div><div>Here: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/10/22/sock-styles-for-boyfriend-jeans-with-booties/">http://youlookfab.com/2014/10/.....h-booties/</a></div><div><br /> </div><div>Thank you for looking at my photos and I appreciate any feedback you’d like to share. &nbsp;I do hope to post more regularly! &nbsp;:)</div><div><br /> </div> </p>
