You're totally channelizing Ines here! Love the loafers &amp; the navy blazer and how everything fits 'just right'. </p> <p>#5 is the CUTEST YLF photo in a WIW EVER!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-ines#post-1713336 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 16:38:12 +0000 Tanya 1713336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything about this outfit and think you totally nailed IdLF's look.&nbsp; I also really like the loafers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-ines#post-1713334 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 16:35:33 +0000 Meredith 1713334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skylurker: Thanks for the affirmation and THANK YOU for the advice on the scarf. I rarely wear them and find them fussy (I had to retake this photo over and over because the tails kept moving). I will try it like tie.</p> <p>Suz: Yes, I will absolutely wear this. It hits the right polished casual note I aim for when teaching. I was thinking I'd omit the scarf because off the fussy factor, but I will try it tied the way Skylurker suggested. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-ines#post-1713328 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 16:24:55 +0000 skylurker 1713328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, thanks for the last pic. Very stylish mint rollers.</p> <p>I love this outfit on you.<br /> Love, love your navy jacket. And the fit of your chinos, and your pointy loafers, and the touch of turquoise and black&amp;white floral pattern. And the white shirt, of course, I love white shirts.</p> <p>(A short scarf like that, I'd wear more like a tie, rather than tails flying). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-ines#post-1713318 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 16:10:35 +0000 Suz 1713318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nailed it!! You look <b>amazing!! &nbsp; Love&nbsp;</b>this interpretation. Will you wear this in the wild? Because you look sensational in the crisp white with blue, the fun pop of colour, and the classic lines.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hilarious rollers photo!! YLF Hall of Fame for sure.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-ines#post-1713310 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 15:58:20 +0000 Meredith 1713310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Glad you're getting a laugh out of the curler picture. I saw myself in the mirror and all I could think is that there are countless unglamorous moments behind every picture of "effortless" French style. I also look like my grandmother and that makes me very happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-ines#post-1713305 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 15:50:49 +0000 Anonymous 1713305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol!

Those look like great shoes! No more shoe shopping for me for a while as I overspent on them at NAS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-ines#post-1713266 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 13:06:07 +0000 Meredith 1713266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joyce: Thanks! The loafers are from Boden. I love them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-ines#post-1713264 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 13:02:39 +0000 Joyce B 1713264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfit, are those Paul Green loafers? They look great with what you are wearing. Your pict in the rollers is too cute. Your hair looks good, there's no need to suffer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-ines#post-1713255 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 12:44:56 +0000 Meredith 1713255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was not at all familiar with Ines de La Fressange before this challenge. I reviewed some images of her style and I found an interview where she identified her style descriptors as "casual, mixed, and boyish." She also said her daily uniform includes a navy jacket, off white jeans, and low boots. </p> <p>I'm wearing a navy jacket (not as structured as what she normally wears), the "boyish" elements are the boyfriend chinos and the loafers. The "mixed" elements are the vintage scarf and blue bag. I was quite happy to see that she is not afraid of a pop of color in her otherwise neutral outfits. She seems to prefer small bags, so I thought my little bag worked well for this look. Greyscale wore a scarf in her Ines inspired look, and I thought that was a great idea.</p> <p>I tried to roll my hair to mimic Ines' shiny "effortless" waves. Let's just say the results fell flat. </p> <p>All comments welcome! Looking forward to seeing your icon looks! </p>
