Sounds like you've been busy with wedding outfit plans - congratulations. Those are some HOT pink shoes! I love the outfits you posted. My hands down favorite is the 12/10 one with the pink cardi, ruffled blouse, and black belt. And what a cute Christmas tree - leave it to you to come up with some super creative and cute like the shoe topper! Happy holidays. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-week-of-1215-extras#post-40483 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 17:15:40 +0000 ChristineB 40483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your dress sounds beautiful. I really like your outfits, too. The straight leg jeans are great. I love your pink cardi, especially with the belt under - makes your waist look so tiny. I also think the red/orange outfit was great, also great colors on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-week-of-1215-extras#post-40481 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 16:49:03 +0000 shell 40481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, here's a link of the shoes in pink: <a href="http://resources.shopstyle.com/pim/4a/6e/4a6ea4049d1009cf5cfd9b217cb5c18c_medium.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://resources.shopstyle.com.....medium.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-week-of-1215-extras#post-40480 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 16:46:44 +0000 shell 40480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your feedback, everyone!</p> <p>Glad to hear the straight leg jeans are keepers. I guess my eye has yet to adjust to them, but I'm liking them more and more. :)</p> <p>So, about the wedding plans...they're going pretty well so far. We haven't quite decided on a reception hall, but we're pretty certain about the church. It's getting close to the one-year-out mark, so I think we'd better start making some concrete plans! :)</p> <p>My dress is coming along nicely. I've changed my plans a bit along the way, but I like the way it's unfolding. I've finished my "practice version". I'd share pictures, but it doesn't have the skirt on it anymore, so, that wouldn't work so well But, I can describe it...</p> <p>-There is a "base layer" that is basically a knee-length fitted dress w/ a sweetheart neckline. </p> <p>-Attached to it will be a tulle skirt, simliar to this, but much less poofy: <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/widgets/bin/gallery/cache/165789379c7623075353aff0a884e160/watermark/kenley_final_16.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.bravotv.com/widgets.....nal_16.jpg</a></p> <p>- There will be a skirt over the tulle for the ceremony. Something softer and less 80's. But the skirt can be removed to show the tulle layer for the reception.</p> <p>-For accessories, I'll have hot pink shoes (naturally) in this style: <a href="http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&#038;category_name=footwr_dressy&#038;product_id=2044856277&#038;Page=all" rel="nofollow">http://www.forever21.com/produ.....8;Page=all</a> </p> <p>and the big gaudy pearl necklace from banana republic: <a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=13064&#038;pid=623123&#038;scid=623123012" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....=623123012</a> </p> <p>i'm wondering if it's "a lotta look", but it can always be edited down. so, i guess i'm going for big and gaudy at this point, but it wouldn't be a shelly creation if i didnt I always tell people shopping for me for xmas and such that if they find items that are just a notch below gaudy, they're perfect for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-week-of-1215-extras#post-40408 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 22:53:04 +0000 Inge 40408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to 'see' you again Shell!</p> <p>I'm another fan of the straight-legged jeans on you, you look fantastic. And I must say that no one looks better in pink than you! Wow!!<br /> (although I love that colour green - the Express cami - a lot on you as well).</p> <p>The pin is not lame at all, you always come up with such sassy and smart solutions. (just look at that shoe topper in your Christmas tree!-)</p> <p>I don't think the sweater was all that short, but I understand how you feel: I hate itchy sweaters and tops too, it can really drive you crazy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-week-of-1215-extras#post-40385 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 17:20:57 +0000 Amanda 40385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sell -- I'm glad to see your outfits again. You always inspire me to try new ways of combining clothes into outfits. Love the straight leg jeans on you! And of course, as always, love the ruffles. My favorite is the pink cardigan over the belted ruffled top. Fabulous! </p> <p>and your kitty is so cute -- I just had to smile that he was caught in mid-yawn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-week-of-1215-extras#post-40371 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 16:41:04 +0000 Violet 40371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shell, glad to see you posting again! I really liked all your outfits. My favorite is the one from 12/10 - I love that belt! Also your tree and kitten are absolutely adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-week-of-1215-extras#post-40305 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 04:22:32 +0000 marianne 40305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shell, I missed your posts too! I love the pink cardi outfits. I also really like what you did with the plaid jacket, very cute.</p> <p>I echo what everyone says about your color combinations. And I'll try to copy your outfit from 12/15, as I am still struggling with my cropped cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-week-of-1215-extras#post-40298 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 04:12:52 +0000 Anonymous 40298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Once again you are the master of color. I especially love the gold and orangey red of your artsy outfit. The straight legs are fab on you.<br /> I like your creativity with the plaid jacket and pin, but it looks like it might be pulling a bit tight in the picture. Did you shorten the jacket?<br /> Love the tunic look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-week-of-1215-extras#post-40286 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 03:17:12 +0000 susan 40286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to see you again, Shell! I also have been wondering about your wedding dress. Please update!<br /> You look great as usual and are so creative. Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-week-of-1215-extras#post-40278 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 02:50:39 +0000 Lena 40278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shell, I've missed seeing your creative outfits and awesome color combos! </p> <p>You look great in straight legs. You look terrific in various shades of pink, too. </p> <p>Say hello to your kitty! Do you have more than one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-week-of-1215-extras#post-40268 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 02:20:05 +0000 yublocka 40268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shell you have some great looks there. I have been living in jeans as well lately, so its great inspiration to see someone rock so many different looks with jeans!</p> <p>I really like the straight leg jeans on you, they look great. The belted shirt &#38; cardi combo you wear with it looks great too!!</p> <p>Another fave is the (pink? red?) plaid top you are wearing under the blue cardi. Those colours and styles look awesome together!!!</p> <p>That mustard coloured jacket is great on you as well. The colour really lights up your face and hair.</p> <p>I know what you mean about the docs outfit feeling clunky. I feel that way too if I wear them under jeans so they are basically hidden except for the toe. Maybe you could experiment wearing them above jeans or with skirt/dresses? I'd look forward to seeing those pics for sure!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-week-of-1215-extras#post-40259 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 01:31:21 +0000 tarzy 40259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - you have the most incredibly beautiful hair. The color is so gorgeous!</p> <p>I really like that pink cardigan on you. All your outfits have such a great, cute, young look. </p> <p>(And your kitty is just too funny, getting into the picture. "Hey! Down here!") </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-week-of-1215-extras#post-40255 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:58:21 +0000 Angie 40255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have missed you Shell. Nice to see you post again.</p> <p>You are so, SO CUTE. CUTE deluxe! You rock a pair of straight leg jeans and look fabulous in anything pink. No wonder it’s your favourite colour! How is that wedding dress coming along? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-week-of-1215-extras#post-40244 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:19:41 +0000 Tanya 40244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shell, you look wonderful in all of your outfits! I really missed your posts! I think that straight legged jeans look great on you, and I love all the ruffles. I especially like the first outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-week-of-1215-extras#post-40237 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:07:33 +0000 shell 40237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everybody,</p> <p>So, it's been awhile since I've posted. I actually had time to take photos a little bit more the last few weeks, so here they are... :)</p> <p>Album Link: <a href="http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r154/seashell27/Outfits/December%2008/" rel="nofollow">http://s143.photobucket.com/al.....mber%2008/</a></p> <p>12/10: <a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r154/seashell27/Outfits/December%2008/P1020873.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i143.photobucket.com/al.....020873.jpg</a></p> <p>Blouse - Limited<br /> Cardi - Gap<br /> Jeans - Bitten<br /> Shoes - Target/Isaac Mizrahi</p> <p>My first foray into straight legs...yay or nay?</p> <p>12/15: <a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r154/seashell27/Outfits/December%2008/P1020875.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i143.photobucket.com/al.....020875.jpg</a></p> <p>Cami - Express<br /> Blouse - BR<br /> Sweater - Limited<br /> Jeans - BR<br /> Shoes - Converse, duh! :)<br /> Pearls - Limited</p> <p>12/16 - <a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r154/seashell27/Outfits/December%2008/P1020885.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i143.photobucket.com/al.....020885.jpg</a></p> <p>Turtleneck - Express<br /> Jacket - Macys<br /> Jeans - BR<br /> Pin - Great-aunt<br /> Shoes - Big wet boots - couldn't wait to get them off!</p> <p>So, this jacket used to be a quasi-trapeze silhouette, but i didn't love it. so, i decided to make it into a more fitted cropped version with the pin. Ingenious or lame? :)</p> <p>12/17: <a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r154/seashell27/Outfits/December%2008/P1020890.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i143.photobucket.com/al.....020890.jpg</a></p> <p>Tunic - Macys<br /> Sweater - Kohls<br /> Jeans - Bitten<br /> Shoes - Chaps<br /> Pearls - Limited<br /> Sassy face - all me :P</p> <p>12/18 - <a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r154/seashell27/Outfits/December%2008/P1020896.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i143.photobucket.com/al.....020896.jpg</a></p> <p>Cami - Express<br /> Sweater - j.crew<br /> Jeans - BR<br /> Scarf - H&#38;M<br /> Shoes - Dr. Martens</p> <p>So, this qualifies as one of my least favorite outfits ever! Sweater was too short and quite itchy. Shoes felt clunky all day. Pants were wet all day. Not a good day!</p> <p>12/20: <a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r154/seashell27/Outfits/December%2008/P1020913.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i143.photobucket.com/al.....020913.jpg</a></p> <p>My jammies! This is a shirt my fiances mom got for me on a trip she went on a couple years ago. I didn't have that heart to tell her that I'm not 13 or emo. But, it is comfy at makes for great loungewear. And, of course, had to showcase my precious little christmas tree! i thought it was a cute touch to have a shoe topper instead of a star. and bows, not ornaments, so kitties dont go wild.</p> <p>12/21: <a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r154/seashell27/Outfits/December%2008/P1020916.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i143.photobucket.com/al.....020916.jpg</a></p> <p>Shirt - Tulle<br /> Sweater - Tulle<br /> Jeans - BR<br /> Necklace - Great-aunt</p> <p>I had my photographer available for this shot, and he really wanted everyone to appreciate the great moment he captured at the bottom right portion of the photo. I thought this outfit was appropriately artsy, as we went to a paint-your-own-pottery place that afternoon. and i wanted to try out my new online purchases from tulle. do we like?</p> <p>12/22: <a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r154/seashell27/Outfits/December%2008/P1020918.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i143.photobucket.com/al.....020918.jpg</a></p> <p>Shirt - Limited - closeup of ruffles: <a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r154/seashell27/Outfits/December%2008/P1020921.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i143.photobucket.com/al.....020921.jpg</a><br /> Sweater - Gap<br /> Jeans - BR<br /> Shoes - the same old wet boots :)</p> <p>Thanks in advance for your feedback! </p>
