I am looking forward to seeing how you style it.

Not leather! I thought that it would be a nice variation. I have three leather jackets, a coral colored moto, a brown scuba, and an eggplant cropped asymmetric drape. I wear them all. Layers are key where I live! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-selections-from-the-computer-to-my-closet-and-some-style-icon-musings#post-1725227 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 04:29:56 +0000 Alexandra 1725227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such beautiful additions! I love those red booties (and I'm on a red shoe kick right now, too) and that Ted Baker dress is to die for. I'm looking forward to seeing how you style that lovely long skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-selections-from-the-computer-to-my-closet-and-some-style-icon-musings#post-1725223 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 04:10:29 +0000 rachylou 1725223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both Robin and Gina for you. They have similar comportment. I think I esp like Gina for the adventurousness, the fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-selections-from-the-computer-to-my-closet-and-some-style-icon-musings#post-1725213 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 03:19:20 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1725213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that jacket!

But I'm sleepy-eyed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-selections-from-the-computer-to-my-closet-and-some-style-icon-musings#post-1725193 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 02:21:26 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1725193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed that you had surgery, but I do hope your recover is going well. I had an eye on the Frame velvet blazer and the Aquatalia patent boots so &nbsp;I will really look forward to seeing your photos of how they have worked out for you. And I hope you love your Veda jacket (there was a shout-out to Veda in the article I recently re-posted on leather jackets.). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-selections-from-the-computer-to-my-closet-and-some-style-icon-musings#post-1725148 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 00:00:32 +0000 Traci 1725148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow...you got many beautiful things! &nbsp;I like the idea of the black background in dresses for you. &nbsp;I wonder how the skirt would look topped with the leather jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-selections-from-the-computer-to-my-closet-and-some-style-icon-musings#post-1725142 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 23:44:37 +0000 Staysfit 1725142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>El Cee, she looks gorgeous like that! I may have something similar. I love the soft drape of the neckline of her blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-selections-from-the-computer-to-my-closet-and-some-style-icon-musings#post-1725135 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 23:32:56 +0000 Barbara Diane 1725135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially love the Kate Spade Booties. The color is scrumptious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-selections-from-the-computer-to-my-closet-and-some-style-icon-musings#post-1725134 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 23:32:33 +0000 El Cee 1725134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Staysfit</b> -- Speaking of Gina Torres, here is a way she wore a gorgeous maxi skirt (not pleated like yours, but it has a similarly elegant vibe) paired with a silky draped sleeveless blouse and belt. I could see you in this kind of look. Stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-selections-from-the-computer-to-my-closet-and-some-style-icon-musings#post-1725131 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 23:11:39 +0000 Staysfit 1725131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>El Cee, thanks for the inspiration pics! I love them! I can see myself wearing many of these looks, and I do hope the coat goes with the skirt, I love the version with the Moto! I'm feeling very inspired! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-selections-from-the-computer-to-my-closet-and-some-style-icon-musings#post-1725123 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 22:39:53 +0000 El Cee 1725123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow -- those are some lovely wardrobe additions! The Veda jacket ought to look gorgeous on you. Thinking that you might try pairing it with the pleated maxi skirt and boots (if the two blues are complimentary and not clashing). I could also see that skirt paired with a sweater (cropped, or longer and perhaps belted) or with a chambray shirt and denim jacket.</p> <p>As to style icons -- both Robin Roberts and Gina Torres have elegant, regal qualities about them, and so do you... so I could see that you might easily find inspiration from their style.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-selections-from-the-computer-to-my-closet-and-some-style-icon-musings#post-1725119 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 22:27:08 +0000 BrieN 1725119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oooohhh that velvet blazer is gorgeous. Your tailor must be amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-selections-from-the-computer-to-my-closet-and-some-style-icon-musings#post-1725104 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 21:46:00 +0000 LaPed 1725104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I reallly hope the Veda jacket works out for you. It is gorgeous. Love the velvet blazer, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-selections-from-the-computer-to-my-closet-and-some-style-icon-musings#post-1725098 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 21:24:02 +0000 Anonymous 1725098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these are really exciting Staysfit.<br /> I think that skirt will be interesting to see. I can picture it on you. It is dramatic but also serene.<br /> I love those Aquatalias! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-selections-from-the-computer-to-my-closet-and-some-style-icon-musings#post-1725097 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 21:24:01 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1725097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are some beautiful items.&nbsp; I agree that the skirt could be dressed down with boots or booties and a knit top, such as the turtleneck you are describing.&nbsp; I'd like a blue leather or suede&nbsp;jacket with SHORT enough sleeves.&nbsp; Glad you found your HEWI! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-selections-from-the-computer-to-my-closet-and-some-style-icon-musings#post-1725091 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 21:16:43 +0000 JAileen 1725091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skirt and think it would look great on you. I would wear it with a belt and knee high boots, kind of boho it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-selections-from-the-computer-to-my-closet-and-some-style-icon-musings#post-1725088 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 21:09:19 +0000 Staysfit 1725088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, I forgot the part about style icons! I have been thinking about Robin Roberts a lot, and I think I have a lot in common with her style, but then ther is another person who I look at and find myself thinking I would love everything she is wearing......Gina Torres. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-selections-from-the-computer-to-my-closet-and-some-style-icon-musings#post-1725083 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 21:02:15 +0000 Staysfit 1725083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Recovering from surgery has given me too much time to sit around and surf the Internet. Its a good thing I go back to work tomorrow. </p> <p>All the finds below are either in my closet, or on their way to me. Let me clarify. The only item still on its way is the Veda leather moto jacket. It's a HEWI. People on the forum have previously suggested I get a medium blue leather moto. I've searched for one that has long enough sleeves. My long arms are a nuisance when trying to find coats and jackets. I have a Veda leather jacket that fits me perfectly, so I thought this could work. The color looks so pretty! Fingers crossed! </p> <p>The SW's were gorgeous but too big. I re-ordered the next size down from Beren shoes. The Hispanitas may be a bit snug around my toes. I think they are going back.. The Frame blazer is at the tailor. She's working her magic taking in the torso of a larger size ordered for sleeve length. </p> <p>The Kate Spade booties are new favorites. I really love these, the color is so beautiful! The fit is good. They look great with the Ted Baker dress too! I typically hate black, but I found these two print dresses with a black background irresistible. </p> <p>I'm curious how people would wear this Alice and Olivia skirt? Do you it can be dressed down? I tried it with a bright pink merino turtle neck and the blue Aquatalia booties pictured here. I added a large turquoise pendant my late Aunt left to me. I think it worked. I will have to get up energy to take a picture of that outfit. </p>
