"Very subtle steampunk" is a great compliment. :)</p> <p><b>Suz</b>, I like that juxtaposition, too... neither too sweet or too stompy.</p> <p>Thank you,&nbsp;<b>Sterling</b>. :)</p> <p><b>kkards</b>, whew, that's a relief!&nbsp; Thank you for noting that it isn't costumey to your eyes. I like drama and have a soft spot for pirate, goth, medieval, steampunk, cyberpunk, and punk-punk... but for normal everyday wear, I don't want to look like I forgot it's not Halloween.</p> <p>Ha, good point,&nbsp;<b>La Pedestrienne</b>. I'm not much of a mermaid (that's one of our other forum redheads), but I did come up with Elegant Bada$$ as my style moniker a while back, and now that put the idea in my head, the archetypal pirate fits that perfectly. :)</p> <p>Thank you,&nbsp;<b>Sal</b>! Sadly, it looks like the boots are sold out, but if they come back around and you have a hole in your boot collection, I highly recommend in either color. Angie picked a winner as usual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-edit-fall-refresh#post-1965099 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 19:21:08 +0000 Sal 1965099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look / I admired those boots in the sale and if I was more local I would have pushed the button. Jeans are a super fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-edit-fall-refresh#post-1965082 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 17:35:49 +0000 LaPed 1965082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pirate seems like a logical extension of mermaid to me! Maybe that's your yin-and-yang so to speak. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-edit-fall-refresh#post-1965079 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 17:33:21 +0000 kkards 1965079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very dramatic...but not, at least to me, customey. The jeans for like they were made for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-edit-fall-refresh#post-1965078 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 17:30:58 +0000 Anonymous 1965078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely fabulous. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-edit-fall-refresh#post-1965077 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 17:24:00 +0000 Suz 1965077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful and dramatic! The jeans are great on you and that top really does say "pirate" to me. I love the juxtaposition of the boots with these feminine sleeves.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-edit-fall-refresh#post-1965074 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 17:18:06 +0000 Angie 1965074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YOU DID SO WELL, <b>Nomad.</b> Gorgeous outfit with a very subtle steampunk vibe. Rock on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-edit-fall-refresh#post-1965069 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 17:10:20 +0000 Nomad 1965069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you,&nbsp;<b>Staysfit</b>! I love the corset effect, too, and I'm happy to finally find "my" high-rise jeans.</p> <p><b>Cardiff girl</b>, I hadn't even thought of putting everything all together when I bought them, but I think it's the long-term effects of the forum: I'm much better at choosing things that work cohesively together (and that fit my personal tastes) than I was a few years ago. But this morning I just figured I'd try on the jeans and top to double-check fit and comfort before cutting tags... and then realized that yesterday's vest purchase would probably work with them. So... all tags cut. :)</p> <p><b>La Pedestrienne</b>, omg! I LOVE the pirate/corsair association... and I don't even need Halloween as an excuse for it. I should try tall black boots to play it up even more... and I may make "pirate" a positive criteria when I'm evaluating future purchases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-edit-fall-refresh#post-1965050 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 16:40:27 +0000 LaPed 1965050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This whole capsule has a good dose of pirate/corsair vibe, and I LOVE it! Especially for the run-up to Halloween.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-edit-fall-refresh#post-1965042 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 16:11:29 +0000 Cardiff girl 1965042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the drama of this outfit,those sleeves are a real statement and what a find at the thrift store!This outfit was meant to be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-edit-fall-refresh#post-1965039 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 16:02:50 +0000 Staysfit 1965039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore this look! Those jeans fit perfectly and I really like the corset effect. The top checks off several trends including the sleeves and the red color. You did a great job shopping trends and you look fab! Enjoy your new look, I’m sure you will get a load of complements. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-edit-fall-refresh#post-1965038 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 15:57:13 +0000 Nomad 1965038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After the Angie-inspired edit, it was time to replace my too-low rise black jeans... and since there was a sale, and I had a gift card, *AND* (most critically) I trust myself to make better sale-purchase decisions post-YLF, I ended up adding a couple of things. This outfit is all new (or new-to-me) stuff, with a couple of new-to-me trends, and the happiness factor is high. I think it could look good with some stacked long necklaces (a la Brooklyn's dark romantic elegance), but I'd need to add a few of those to my collection...</p> <p>1: High-rise Express black corset skinny jeans: I don't usually like high-rise pants/jeans on myself (skirt yes, pants no); it usually looks like too long an expanse of lower torso. But I like that these have a distinct wide waistband with corset lacing in the front to break it up. And I'm not giving up my skinny jeans, regardless of trends... they pair too well with boots.</p> <p>2: Red cold-shoulder bell-sleeve Express top: I've avoided the cold-shoulder and the exuberant sleeve trends until now, but I like this execution. The slit-sleeves and drape are a little witchy and medieval (positive traits in my book), and the drape is lovely. I'm trying to add a few non-black tops, and this should be appropriate for my office with non-jeans.</p> <p>3: Black faux-leather Bagatelle vest: I took a load of edited items to the thrift store to donate yesterday... and walked out with this like-new vest. It can be tied in front or left open, the fabric is soft and luxe-feeling, and it's a bit gothy and elegant. Love at first sight.</p> <p>4: Angie-recommended Born combat boots: Love. So comfortable, so practical, such good quality. Thanks, Angie. </p>
