Truly stellar. Jaime on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-3#post-1039748 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 03:08:09 +0000 Jaime 1039748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well if this is boring bring on more boring please. I love your new white drapey top and the color of the blazer in the last picture makes this outfit for me. And I love your pointy toes. All in all, you look fab! Suz on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-3#post-1039627 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 00:09:37 +0000 Suz 1039627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ K -- thank you so much for this thoughtful reply. It is true I don't have as many occasions to wear a suit qua suit. But I do have some. (Appearances and such). And I also just happen to LOVE suits! I think as an Urban Prince I need one. Suits to me are perhaps like dresses to some others. I like dresses, too, mind you.  K.

Period. 1038788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Suz, thanks.  I thought I would pop back in because you mentioned the suit. I was looking at your suit thread and couldn't quite figure out what to add.  I like the BR suit on you. It is a nice, basic, classic suit. I think you could get a lot of wear out of it by mixing it with edgier pieces. However, I couldn't figure out what your reason was for wanting a suit specifically? I don't have to wear mine to work, but I can. Every day, if I want to. I have lots of opportunities to wear it. I bought a classic style because I want to be able to wear it for a long time. (It's a Boss one, from Nordstrom, which I bought on sale.) I also know that my style is to take a backbone of classics and add in a few much more modern pieces. So the suit approach works great for me. I'm not sure you would get as much mileage. How that cuts on K/R your BR suit, I don't know. I'd say return because it isn't making your heart sing. You can get classic with just enough oomph to make it sing. It is out there. I think that's what you need.   Anonymous on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-3#post-1038783 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 00:23:05 +0000 Anonymous 1038783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love these, especially 1 and 5! Not boring at all! Susie on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-3#post-1038772 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 00:13:08 +0000 Susie 1038772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love all of these! If that's your uniform, I want to join your team! Suz on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-3#post-1038763 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 00:08:22 +0000 Suz 1038763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OMG, what are your SHOES??? Okay, now that I have recovered a bit, you look stunning in the blues. The top in #1 is gorgeous and definitely qualifies as an update, not a rut. And you, in your classic suit, are making it that much harder for me to decide to return my too-classic BR suit that is currently on probation in my closet. Love look #3, too.  So great to see you again. Don't stop posting! Nicole D on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-3#post-1038751 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 23:56:36 +0000 Nicole D 1038751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love your cool mix of trendy and classic pieces.  Crossover blouse is awesome, my fave style top of the moment and I really like the blazer in 5.  Blue is your colour, sets off your hair and skin tone.  Now I bet you can't imagine life without pointy toed silver shoes.  You do look fab!  Keep posting.

I haven't felt very inspired lately. Nothing super exciting and no real questions, so I've been a WIW deadbeat. Today, though, questions, comments, outfits!  Outfit 1, Pics 1 & 2, Updating the Uniform: I bought this top recently. A fun bonus to get the color blocking with the drape front. This whole outfit really feels like I'm just swapping out a piece in my uniform: The cobalt pants have been a surprising closet workhorse. The cardi is my typical black. And black, white and cobalt are an Angie classic.  Is uniform updating a good thing? I'm thinking good because it takes tried and true, adds an update, and keeps it current. How do I know that I'm not just recycling myself into a rut though? What makes the difference for you between "Yay! Uniform update!" and "Whoa, get that tired workhorse to the barn. It's done."?  Outfit 2, Pics 3 and 4: I wore this yesterday. In my pre-YLF life, I would never, ever have worn a chambray shirt paired with my classic navy suit. And let's not even talk about how little possibility there was of wearing silver shoes. I like it. Change is good. (I could do without the foreshortening angle and awkward belly lighting, though.) :)  Outfit 3, Pic 5: Kind of the illustration of my "not super exciting, no real questions" comment above. A nice, easy outfit of tank, boyfriend blazer, jeans and flats.   Thanks for looking!
