Actually, the fact that you clicked through and bought it right away is probably a good sign that it'll jive with your style. It's good to have a mix of those well/overly thought out purchases AND a few impulse "oh i just luuuuurve this" purchases. donnat on "Seasons and Nature Challenge #4 - Maple Leaves" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasons-and-nature-challenge-4---maple-leaves#post-1559714 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 21:31:55 +0000 donnat 1559714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I understand your love for that top.

It's fantastic and that plum color IMO is really versatile. It looks great with you hair color! I think the delicate embroidery really evokes the feathery snow on the leaves. Well done! And the touch of green is brilliant - I hadn't even noticed that I'm the photo until you mentioned it, but now that I see it, it's really striking. celia on "Seasons and Nature Challenge #4 - Maple Leaves" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasons-and-nature-challenge-4---maple-leaves#post-1559674 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 20:11:51 +0000 celia 1559674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ We could totally go shopping together Jenn. celia on "Seasons and Nature Challenge #4 - Maple Leaves" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasons-and-nature-challenge-4---maple-leaves#post-1559673 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 20:11:19 +0000 celia 1559673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Forgot to say that you look amazing Jenn on "Seasons and Nature Challenge #4 - Maple Leaves" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasons-and-nature-challenge-4---maple-leaves#post-1559672 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 20:10:55 +0000 Jenn 1559672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ celia - Right?!? celia on "Seasons and Nature Challenge #4 - Maple Leaves" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasons-and-nature-challenge-4---maple-leaves#post-1559664 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 20:03:58 +0000 celia 1559664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am in love with that blouse.... rachylou on "Seasons and Nature Challenge #4 - Maple Leaves" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasons-and-nature-challenge-4---maple-leaves#post-1559625 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 18:45:58 +0000 rachylou 1559625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That IS the shirt for that pic Anonymous on "Seasons and Nature Challenge #4 - Maple Leaves" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasons-and-nature-challenge-4---maple-leaves#post-1559610 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 18:29:29 +0000 Anonymous 1559610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Photo #1 is plonk-worthy!

This is such a FAB outfit and I love love love a couple of things about this one specially: The shirt not only looks stunning, it also fits you to perfection. The embroidery on it really stands out too...and the colour - OMG! Second love for me here is that Hat! Looks like you two were meant to be and it really does add an extra punch to the while outfit :) My third fav would be the shoes...a touch of boyish-Ness and match that with perfectly rolled up jeans and a bit of ankle show...va-va-voom! Not to forget that backdrop and all those books...the wooden flooring... such an inviting and warm looking space to be in...lucky you!

Thank you for the advice about folding, though! I wouldn't have thought of that! Anonymous on "Seasons and Nature Challenge #4 - Maple Leaves" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasons-and-nature-challenge-4---maple-leaves#post-1559526 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 16:55:41 +0000 Anonymous 1559526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look extraordinarily happy - and lovely - in that outfit!  Well done!! Quick word of advice:  I have owned a few of these embroidered Tiny shirts.  They are even more delicate than they first appear.  If you want to get more than a handful of wears out of it, hand wash only - don't even machine wash on delicate - and store folded so the shoulders don't stretch out.

Both the shirt and the outfit, as it stands and as it reflects the inspiration. Gotta love an "extraordinarily happy" rating, too.

I'm not much of an impulse buyer, especially not online, where I hem and haw and comparison shop, but I saw this shirt on Pinterest recently, clicked through to Anthropologie, and immediately bought it.  This is more of a plum color than the burgundy I normally wear, but it still fits well in my closet and the embroidery makes it like nothing else I own (you can't see it in my photos, but the shapes are outlined in a thin, copper thread, so it kind of sparkles). I also love the fabrication - a silk/cotton woven front panel, with a knit, viscose back. The stretchy back and structural side panels make it insanely comfortable. I think this impulse buy might become a signature piece for me this season. So... now that I'm done waxing rhapsodic, the inspiration picture. I thought the embroidery on this top did a good job mimicking the frost on the maple leaves, especially with the copper for a little extra sparkle. I chose an old peridot necklace to represent the tiny bits of green grass peeking through the background, and added jeans, hat, and oxfords for stomping-through-the-leaves comfort. I'm extraordinarily happy in this outfit.
