Changing the strap to was genius and the layered necklaces are beautiful. And it is hot and humid as anything in NYC right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-baroque/page/2#post-1934179 Fri, 06 Jul 2018 09:00:25 +0000 Brooklyn 1934179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that’s a super boost </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-baroque/page/2#post-1934176 Fri, 06 Jul 2018 08:40:58 +0000 Amy Isabella 1934176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooooh I'm intrigued now and excited to see what direction you decide to take!

I am thinking about changing my theme a bit for Spring. Warm weather style is hard for me. It gets very hot here and I run hot. But I have a few ideas about the direction I’d like to take.</p> <p>And thanks Gigi! I am loving my new accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-baroque#post-1934155 Fri, 06 Jul 2018 05:57:22 +0000 Amy Isabella 1934155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I was, but I'm in the UK It's hot here too at the moment, by our standards anyway!!!</p> <p>I'm looking forward to seeing how you translate your theme to S/S - I know it will be AMAZING </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-baroque#post-1934152 Fri, 06 Jul 2018 05:39:03 +0000 Gigi 1934152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I am really loving this latest installment! Outfit 1 is really amazing, though all the outfits are excellent. I think you show a lot of mastery when it comes to accessories--the way you combine things is first-rate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-baroque#post-1934150 Fri, 06 Jul 2018 05:24:02 +0000 Brooklyn 1934150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) :)</p> <p>Well I am going to NYC in a few weeks if you are in the area. But I won’t be bringing my dark romance wardrobe. It’s hot over there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-baroque#post-1934148 Fri, 06 Jul 2018 05:15:45 +0000 Amy Isabella 1934148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just HAD to come back for another look this morning Now all I have to do is save for plane tickets!!! ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-baroque#post-1934110 Fri, 06 Jul 2018 00:52:09 +0000 Brooklyn 1934110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And thanks for the edit <b>Aida</b>!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-baroque#post-1934109 Fri, 06 Jul 2018 00:49:50 +0000 Brooklyn 1934109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for chiming in <b>Aida</b>. Yes, part of the aim was just to freshen up my style without buying a lot of new stuff. I did end up buying quite a bit of jewellery from Etsy. But it was inexpensive and is likely to last. Most of it is vintage so it has already lasted 20+ years. Maybe I can give it 20 more :)</p> <p>Thanks <b>Suz</b>. I do feel like having a seasonal theme might be a better way going forward for me than having a moniker. I always find monikers quite difficult.</p> <p>Thanks cousin <b>MJ</b>. You are a sweetheart and my inspiration.</p> <p>Thanks <b>Katerina</b> and <b>Elizabeth</b>!</p> <p>Thanks <b>Sisi</b>. The salesperson who sold me this top (who was a male) commented that it was very Versace. He also said he was thinking about buying it himself. He said he planned to wear in under overalls. Now that's edgy and original styling. I was impressed!</p> <p>Thanks <b>Bijou</b>. Not that you couldn't do it, but I don't think of your style as dark. I&nbsp; do think you have a strong streak of romance. I love your style. It's very authentic to you. That's what I am aiming for too.</p> <p>And thanks <b>Staysfit</b>! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-baroque#post-1934104 Fri, 06 Jul 2018 00:38:16 +0000 Brooklyn 1934104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Becky</b> and<b> Cardiff Girl</b>!</p> <p>Thanks <b>Lyn</b> and <b>Amy Isabella</b>! You are always so positive about my style, it makes me blush. Which is good because I need more colour in my cheeks to pull off dark romance! I would love to be your stylist Amy Isabella. I have mentioned here before that my fantasy job is as a fashion buyer. But I think I have left my run too late! I will just have to go with fashion as a hobby. It's nice that the Forum indulges me :)</p> <p>Thanks <b>JAileen</b> and <b>Joy</b>!</p> <p><b>Diana</b>, thanks! (She says while hiding her ombre jacket and bolting the doors.)&nbsp; I think cool weather is better for experimentation. Summer is just an endurance test for me. And the silver filigree pearl necklace in outfit 4 was inspired by you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-baroque#post-1934102 Fri, 06 Jul 2018 00:27:59 +0000 Aida 1934102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh baroque!! YES. LOVE. Your necklace game is on point ^^ I think a big part of why these still feel very true to your style is that you've incorporated plenty of your existing wardrobe. Have been enjoying getting to share this project with you </p> <p>EDIT: Had to come back and say that outfit #1 is sooooo awesome.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-baroque#post-1934096 Fri, 06 Jul 2018 00:19:28 +0000 Brooklyn 1934096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it's great to get this lovely feedback for project dark romance (baroque edition!).</p> <p>Thanks<b> karen13</b>! The pearl handbag strap is a a substitute for the original bag strap. It's PU (the bag is leather) but I can't really tell the difference. The hardware matches so I think it incorporates well. It's from Australian retailer Forever New:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.forevernew.com.au/studded-bag-strap-2024891701004">https://www.forevernew.com.au/.....4891701004</a></p> <p>Thanks <b>Tex</b> and <b>Sally</b>. Yes, I am having a lot of fun!</p> <p>Thanks <b>gryffin</b>, you are super positive as always. I really appreciate it.</p> <p><b>Classically casual</b>, thanks! Yes, I have been trying out dark romance - casual version. I do it every casual Friday for work and also for outings on the weekend. Not so much for sitting around at home! I am not posting every outfit I try out because that's a bit hard for me and also likely to overwhelm the Forum. So I just pick out the ones that I think are more interesting. Here are some jeans outfits I have posted previously (I will add them from my phone in a moment). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-baroque#post-1934086 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 23:06:17 +0000 karen13 1934086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just Wow! You are making me long for winter. I echo what everyone has said about how well you do this. I love the detail. Those bag straps are unique and gorgeous - icing on the cake. Is the pearl one original to the bag?who makes it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-baroque#post-1934075 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 22:25:22 +0000 texstyle 1934075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Wow...Beautiful - everything works so well and offers a visual feast of textures and interest.

Meaning appropriate for an occasion when one would wear jeans? I cannot imagine if such an outfit is even possible, but wondered if you’ve played around with it yet... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-baroque#post-1934013 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 16:17:25 +0000 Becky 1934013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are rocking this look. Your use of layering necklaces and brooches really completes the dark romance look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-baroque#post-1933985 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 14:54:40 +0000 Cardiff girl 1933985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh I am loving this look on you.You look ready for the Met ball in the first picture!what a fantastic collection of jewellery,it really gives the vibe that you are looking for here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-baroque#post-1933977 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 14:21:30 +0000 lyn67 1933977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, wow, wow! These are amazing baroque/ romatic again! I&nbsp; love the 2 long sleeve tops in the first 2 outfits, they do a great statement on their own for the style you wanted, but the boots!

I am amazed by how well these all translates to&nbsp; daytime outfits&amp;YLF, still our Broocklyn- and not at all costumey, WOW!!!!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-baroque#post-1933976 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 14:18:24 +0000 Amy Isabella 1933976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just beyond stunning - all of them are absolute perfection and take my breath away.
