That is a HUGE help to me because I kept looking at them and thinking my style is suffering from a multiple personality disorder! I can work with Sophisticated Tomboy and Flirty Feminine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-ladies-post-your-favourite-outfits-of-2011-here/page/5#post-508802 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:59:10 +0000 AJ 508802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Marley - I see two style vibes; sophisticated tomboy and flirty feminine. Luv your choices of favorites! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-ladies-post-your-favourite-outfits-of-2011-here/page/5#post-507961 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 02:43:14 +0000 Marley 507961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo - I had that one marked, but somehow I forgot to post it. Thanks for reminding me! I found that the key to the white button down blouse (which I generally stay away from!) was finding one that fit me absolutely perfectly. The rest of the outfit was easy after that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-ladies-post-your-favourite-outfits-of-2011-here/page/5#post-507881 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 02:04:17 +0000 Mo 507881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, my fave outfit of yours was one of the first you posted and the first I ever saved for an inspiration photo. Hope you don't mind if I share it here. I also loved the shorts and white button front, which I tried but failed at copy catting lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-ladies-post-your-favourite-outfits-of-2011-here/page/5#post-507806 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 01:07:47 +0000 Marley 507806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This thread forced me to go back and look at outfits that I wore this year - some of them were painful to look at - but, I was surprised that I found a few that I absolutely LOVED!</p> <p>Here they are - in no particular order: (also, if you get a sense of what my style persona is - would you please let me know? I'm still kind of lost!)</p> <p>1. I discovered "my way" of wearing a white button-down blouse - and this was fun, comfortable and easy. Also, gave me a chance to wear my metallic shoes and carry my metallic handbag.</p> <p>2. A Sart challenge. Love my deep teal jacket and the hat - I wore this everytime the temp dropped below 60! Also, the black trousers were my version of black dressy pants - they are super baggy and sooooo not stuffy! Add the black patent leather oxfords and I felt spiffy!</p> <p>3. Can't resist polka dots and red cowboy boots!</p> <p>4. Fell in love with one of my few purchases this past year - cobalt skinnies - they became a neutral for me. This outfit may have been a little "young" looking for me, but it gave me a chance to wear red, cobalt blue, fuschia and orange - plus a short little skirt that I wouldn't be caught dead in without those pants underneath!</p> <p>5 and 6 My tuxedo jacket and hat with ruffly purple sleeveless blouse. I loved the tails on the jacket because it made it look like I had a "booty!" (see pic #6.)</p> <p>7. Another Sart challenge. Maxi skirt and houndstooth hat. Love this, mainly because this is my dear father-inlaw's hat.</p> <p>8. Another cobalt skinny outfit. Made me feel like a lady who has fun! </p> <p>9 and 10. Another Sart challenge. This was my go-to outfit this summer when I would walk downtown on Sundays to the market and street fair. I looked best in the navy linen jacket (9.) but I liked to mix it up once in awhile with the other one (10) - just for variety. And yes - those are tennis shoes, and I wore them a LOT!</p> <p>11. An outfit from our summer weekly Art challenge. This dress is pretty girly and perhaps too young looking for me - but I tried to toughen it up with the black capris, black and metal studded belt and the metallic shoes. It just felt good.</p> <p>12. From our One item - 5 ways Challenge. We picked one item and wore it 5 different ways, 5 days in a row. This was probably my favorite of the week - gave me a chance to wear my black patent and blue fuzzy flats. I had fun in this outfit!</p> <p>13. And finally - one last Sart challenge - my harem pants, along with a peek of red panties (sorry Una!) I wore this outfit (and variations of it,) from last spring all the way through this fall. Yes, I did stand out in the crowd - I didn't care. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-ladies-post-your-favourite-outfits-of-2011-here/page/5#post-507103 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:29:09 +0000 citygirldc 507103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I should post too since I have so much time on my hands today. these photos are in no particular order </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-ladies-post-your-favourite-outfits-of-2011-here/page/5#post-507096 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:19:30 +0000 Angie 507096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is there, Lyn.

Angie, #2 is also one of my favorites ever. You're definitely right about it having its own attitude, and while I haven't been able to get many outfits with the same feel it's the outfit that made me really really love button-up shirts. I'm lightening up on my "no repeats" rules so I plan to wear variations of that outfit plenty this spring </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-ladies-post-your-favourite-outfits-of-2011-here/page/5#post-500715 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:12:33 +0000 Angie 500715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella, you have KILLER style and we miss you on the forum! I love the simpler direction of your outfits and hope that you continue on this leg of your style journey. #2 LAUNCHES ME INTO ORBIT and I am still recovering!! Your best *ever*. I love #5 and #4 next because they are strong and extra flattering. #7 is also a fave because you rock those baggy shorts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-ladies-post-your-favourite-outfits-of-2011-here/page/5#post-500580 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 07:37:15 +0000 bella 500580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun thread!<br /> In the last year, my style has been evolving towards fewer items but quality fabrics, fewer colors and embellishments but bold, graphic shapes and silhouettes. As you can see from this selection, the color palette is limited, but I think the outfits have a sharp, striking quality to them. That's what I am enjoying currently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-ladies-post-your-favourite-outfits-of-2011-here/page/4#post-500547 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 05:43:24 +0000 Angie 500547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A HUGE jam packed thread :)</p> <p>Sarah you have KILLER style! And your style evolution has been mind blowing when I compare it to when you first started posting. And I have enjoyed every minute with you. #5 is my favourite hands down! (I think it was your fave too). It says "Sarah" most to me - of what I know about Sarah, anyway :). I like #3 next because those are my colours too, and #14 after that. Just so perfect! </p> <p>Aida what an inspirational set of KILLER outfits! My word!! #2 is my favourite outfit that you have *ever* posted, hands down. It shows an attitude all of it's own and the lines are brilliantly clean. #15, #20 and #23 are next because they scream "Aida" from the roof tops in melodic glory. Love it! Rock on, girlfriend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-ladies-post-your-favourite-outfits-of-2011-here/page/4#post-500443 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 03:42:55 +0000 Amy 500443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief, Alecia, that is the CUTEST photograph ever. I love how your daughter and your puppy are staring up at you adoringly...as they should since you look so fabulous!</p> <p>Sarah, I'm pretty sure you could make a paper sack look gorgeous. All of your outfits are lovely!</p> <p>Aida, you have a really fun style! I love to see your pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-ladies-post-your-favourite-outfits-of-2011-here/page/4#post-500406 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 03:15:23 +0000 Aida 500406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ladies it's been wonderful reading through all of your posts and seeing all your amazing outfits! 2011 was a good year I love seeing how over the year styles get changed, evolve, become refined. I'm bookmarking this page to come back to for some great inspiration!</p> <p>I had a hard time picking my favorites (not a bad problem to have, eh?). I came to YLF in 2010 so all of 2011 was a YLF year for me, and it's been a blast looking through a year's worth of style evolution. #1 was the outfit that got me really wanting to define my style direction back in February, and I haven't looked back since (these are in chronological order, a handful per season). I really enjoyed adding a boho vibe to my summer style this year (well, having ANY summer style was wonderful as summer used to be the season I was terrified of), as well as incorporating more brights and white/gray/lightness into all outfits.</p> <p>Thank you, YLF, for all the encouragement and inspiration! I look forward to what 2012 brings &lt;3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-ladies-post-your-favourite-outfits-of-2011-here/page/4#post-500004 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 20:15:50 +0000 Inge 500004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so saving this thread to browse all these stunning outfits again in 2012 (every time I look at them I see new details, and get fresh ideas on how I can make certain things I admire on you work for me). I had already seen many of these in your posts, but looking at them all together in one place the sky-high style quotient is almost mind-blowing!!</p> <p>Thank you for this amazing visual treat!</p> <p>P.S. I have to admit I didn't post all that many pictures in 2011, and when I did they weren't usually WIW's, but mostly outfits that I loved getting your feedback on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-ladies-post-your-favourite-outfits-of-2011-here/page/4#post-499941 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 18:27:15 +0000 Sarah 499941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, here it is. :)</p> <p>I love these all for different reasons.</p> <p>1. First time wearing corduroy in the summer.<br /> 2. First time tucking into jeans!<br /> 3. I just love this dress, it's been a favorite since I got it.<br /> 4. The lining on this jacket!<br /> 5. My favorite outfit of the year, I think?<br /> 6. My first DIY<br /> 7. My favorite skirt AND blouse<br /> 8. Cobalt skinnies!<br /> 9. I know maxis aren't a fave, but this outfit head to toe was a summer go-to<br /> 10. :)<br /> 11: :)<br /> 12. Love my vest<br /> 13. Same as 12...plus I love this dress<br /> 14. A recent fave. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-ladies-post-your-favourite-outfits-of-2011-here/page/4#post-499797 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:40:12 +0000 Angie 499797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim, YOU ROCK!!! That was extremely thoughtful and therapeutic. </p> <p>Deborah, your style wish came true. You *are* elegant and graceful - and effortlessly so. </p> <p>Rute, you have KILLER style! You are always chic, polished, trendy and spunky - with just the right amount of classic thrown into the mix. Your favourites are just perfect in every way and I can't pick my best from your selection. You wow us all the time! But your Karen Millen dress is missing and so are the outfits with your coloured jeans. Those were amongst my faves of your 2011 style year. Please add them in! </p> <p>Fern, that's a sweet outfit!</p> <p>Alecia, KILLER look that matches your cherub! Please add your recent b-day outfit too. It takes the cake </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-ladies-post-your-favourite-outfits-of-2011-here/page/4#post-499731 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 14:42:43 +0000 marianna 499731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an amazing thread! So wonderful to look through. Everyone is sooo stylish. Wow wow wow! I don't have any pictures to contribute this year as I've been rather absent from the forums, but maybe next year! Angie, thanks so much for starting this thread, and everyone for sharing their gorgeous looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-ladies-post-your-favourite-outfits-of-2011-here/page/4#post-499720 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 14:24:46 +0000 Alecia 499720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so enjoyed looking at everyone's posts. Thank you for putting the pictures up. I haven't taken the time to document outfits this year. Hopefully will do more in 2012. But I like this MOTG outfit a lot. The best part for me about this picture is that I think it's indicative of my style evolution. I'm more stylish now as a new mom than I was pre-baby! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-ladies-post-your-favourite-outfits-of-2011-here/page/4#post-499706 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 13:54:08 +0000 sarah 499706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie and Kim, THANK YOU.</p> <p>Kim, if I had to pick a fave, it would be you in your KK dress.

I will add that other outfit as soon as I can get Master 8 of the computer :)</p> <p>Thank you so much for your interest and the time you take with each of us.

I am constantly surprised, inspired, and challenged by each of you as I watch and sometimes even participate in your development of a style that is really true to you, and in case I haven't said so, I am so appreciative of the encouragement and advice I've received in the past several years as my own style has evolved. It is such fun to see what each of us picked as favorites throughout the past year, and also to compare what we started the year wearing vs. what feels "right" to each of us now.<br /> Queen Mum, you are SO sweet to take time to comment individually for each of us. Big hug to you! </p>
