Very cute, I love the plaid skirt and specs, very retro. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunday-best-please-rate-my-style#post-106533 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:27:41 +0000 Queen Mum 106533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>mamapj- regarding your comment about wearing short sleeves with blazer or pushing the sleeves up-- I think it is really cute to have long sleeves under a shorter sleeve or scrunch sleeve blazer. So no, you shoudn't have to limit your sleeve selection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunday-best-please-rate-my-style#post-106515 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:43:55 +0000 rute 106515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your style, love your hair and glasses! Sassy and sexy!<br /> The leather jacket seems a bit to long.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunday-best-please-rate-my-style#post-106479 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:15:12 +0000 Anonymous 106479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most of my thoughts have already been expressed, but have you tried a scarf with this outfit? As for a flower skinny belt, you might try a flower pin attached to a narrow belt. I found my pins on sale at Macys and inexpensive belts to try at Forever 21 last spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunday-best-please-rate-my-style#post-106475 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:52:06 +0000 anne 106475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MPJ, I love the dress and turtleneck, but agree with Angie on the jacket. I am also a long waisted hourglass and I think our figures are a little similar, though yours is taller and thinner.<br /> On that basis I would really recommend a cropped moto jacket. Mine is old and only pleather (which doesn't matter because I live in warmer Australia) but I wear it all the time, especially with skirts. Here is a pic.<br /> <a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/?action=view&#038;current=100_7011.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s297.photobucket.com/al.....0_7011.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunday-best-please-rate-my-style#post-106428 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:18:41 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 106428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm torn on the blazer - it looks like you only wear it with short sleeves? (Or you scrunch up your long sleeved shirt along with the blazer sleeve?) I think I'm probably better off going with a leather moto jacket, especially if I'm retiring (*sob*) my old one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunday-best-please-rate-my-style#post-106426 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:10:28 +0000 Kari 106426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just want to say that I LOVE your plaid skirt. The fit is gorgeous on you. How great to have something in perfect condition and still fitting wonderfully after 6 years. I also love the etsy pendants that you linked to.</p> <p>I hope you'll let us know how you fare in your search for a boyfriend blazer! I haven't found one I like on myself just yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunday-best-please-rate-my-style#post-106424 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 20:42:38 +0000 Angie 106424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A well deserved score, MPJ!</p> <p>The leather jacket does look dated I’m afraid – and not quite at the stage of being retro yet either. :0(. I vote pass on. </p> <p>Take yourself off to Express for BF blazers. Contrast lining is more casual and lots of fun. I chose self-coloured lining because my lifestyle is a little dressier than yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunday-best-please-rate-my-style#post-106419 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 20:10:37 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 106419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - Killer?! You made my week! :)</p> <p>Angie - the jacket is probably 8-10 years old. Does it look dated? I know that other YLFers have been posting some great BF jackets - but do you have one or two in mind that would suit my shape? I'm a long waisted hourglass. I would love a fine pinstripe, but I'm open to anything.</p> <p>ETA - Here is one that is nice - <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3064182?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=guidednav&#038;keyword=boyfriend+jacket+%3E+Regular+S+(4-6)+%3E+%24100+-+%24200&#038;origin=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....rchresults</a></p> <p>Presumably the wool would be a bit warming. What's the verdict on contrast lining again? Is that a go or no-go? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunday-best-please-rate-my-style#post-106416 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 19:59:54 +0000 Angie 106416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven’t read any of the other comments MPJ, but your outfit rates KILLER (a 10) WITHOUT the leather jacket! You look fabulous. You need a short, cheeky jacket with this outfit. Or, a soft BF blazer. How old is that leather jacket? </p> <p>Love your complementary outfit ideas.You are right on track :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunday-best-please-rate-my-style#post-106402 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 19:14:54 +0000 marianna 106402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmm, those two are very yummy! Blue is great, but I suppose black does go with more? I guess that could be debatable. I could see you getting a lot of use out of the blue as well.</p> <p>Get yourself off to a Nordies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunday-best-please-rate-my-style#post-106401 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 19:12:13 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 106401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Marianna - I was eyeing a similar Kenna - T one - <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3032246?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=guidednav&#038;keyword=motorcycle+%3E+Women%27s+Apparel+%3E+Black&#038;origin=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....rchresults</a></p> <p>as well as a Truth &amp; Pride one: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3060119?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=guidednav&#038;keyword=motorcycle+%3E+Women%27s+Apparel+%3E+Black&#038;origin=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....rchresults</a></p> <p>I really like it in the blue color...but I guess black is the safer (better?) choice? Definitely something I need to try on in person. I really prefer ones with princess seams - I don't like boxy on me very much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunday-best-please-rate-my-style#post-106399 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 19:10:40 +0000 LoP 106399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great skirt. I second the moto-jacket idea. </p> <p>Another idea is to pair this skirt/turtleneck with riding boots (and tights) and denim jacket. </p> <p>Your hair style is really good for statement earring. It lights up and frames your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunday-best-please-rate-my-style#post-106397 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 19:06:57 +0000 marianna 106397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Obviously they don't have to be this expensive, but here are a few moto jackets I like:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3053334?refsid=270326&#038;refcat=0%7e2376776%7e2374327%7e2374375%7e2381291&#038;SourceID=1&#038;SlotID=2&#038;origin=related&#038;cm_Sp=Related-Items-_-Product-_-Manual" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....t-_-Manual</a></p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3034620?refsid=262868&#038;refcat=0%7e2376776%7e2378685%7e2378687%7e2378704&#038;SourceID=1&#038;SlotID=2&#038;origin=related&#038;cm_Sp=Related-Items-_-Product-_-Manual" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....t-_-Manual</a></p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3053688/0~2376776~2374327~2374375~2381291?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=2381291&#038;P=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....1&#038;P=1</a></p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3053874/0~2376776~2374327~2374375~2381291?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=2381291&#038;P=2" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....1&#038;P=2</a></p> <p>There are tons of moto style jackets in stores right now.

I have one from Nordstrom Rack and one from NY &amp; Company... the NY&amp;C one was only $2! Any place that sells accessories should have flower pins! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunday-best-please-rate-my-style#post-106391 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:46:14 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 106391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha - this outfit probably does not even make it on the scale anyway, it's so basic!</p> <p>Love your ideas - would you mind linking to a moto style jacket or two that you think might work? (So I know I'm on the right track.)</p> <p>Do you know where Danja and Tanya have found their flower pins?

I especially love it without the jacket -- your figure is sensational! Great skirt, it doesn't look dated at all. I recently tried on something very similar! You look great in a turtleneck. How about some pearls?</p> <p>Have you considered a leather or pleather moto style jacket? Might be fun update to add to your jacket collection and it would look great on you!</p> <p>I definitely think some textured hose would be fun and a skinny belt would look great too. You could try putting a flower pin on the belt like Danja and Tanya have done! There are endless ways to accessorize this outfit!</p> <p>I don't know CRS so I'm no help there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunday-best-please-rate-my-style#post-106386 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:25:48 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 106386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's what I wore to church this morning - </p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/21922977@N07/sets/72157622684309845/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....684309845/</a></p> <p>Black leather jacket - Marc New York (Andrew Marc)<br /> Plaid skirt - Ann Taylor<br /> Black heels - Circa Joan &amp; David<br /> Purple chronograph watch - Fossil<br /> Specs - Jai Kudo</p> <p>This is a typical outfit for me in that I put on the bare minimum and then stop. If not for YLF, I would be sans interesting eyeglasses and watch!</p> <p>Just as a note of interest - the leather jacket is getting close to 10 years old...and does anyone recognize that skirt? I want to say it's pretty old, too - but it's semi-casual, so it could be "only" 6 years old? I tended to shop at AT more when I was working, which was around 6 years ago. Both are in fabulous condition, so I hope they're good styles for me.</p> <p>*** I'm interested in CR feedback, using the CRS ratings, so I can get a benchmark for where I am style wise. ***</p> <p>I would also love feedback on how to layer, add accessories, vary the outfit, etc.</p> <p>My ideas are:</p> <p>* super skinny belt (like this one in lilac or mint juilip: <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/accessories/belts/PRDOVR~21396/99101899322/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~0~~17+4294966972~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~belt/21396.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Brows...../21396.jsp</a>)</p> <p>* black floral patterned hose: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2993060?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=guidednav&#038;keyword=black+hose+%3E+Women%27s+Apparel+%3E+Hosiery+%26amp%3b+Socks+%3E+Hosiery+%3E+Black&#038;origin=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/29.....rchresults</a></p> <p>* Black/silver Doc Martens (I traded in my 'black smooth' for the black/silver ones so this is one accessory option I actually own right now)</p> <p>* Equestrian style boots</p> <p>* heavy pendant: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34200922&#038;ref=sr_gallery_6&#038;&#038;ga_search_query=pendant&#038;ga_search_type=&#038;ga_page=&#038;order=date_desc&#038;includes%5B%5D=tags&#038;includes%5B%5D=title" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/view_listi.....B%5D=title</a></p> <p>-- actually, that wasn't what I had in mind, but I did think it was funny it popped up, considering I'm working on an outfit for church (the artist named the pendant "divine intervention" ha ha)</p> <p>* here's another one - <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34417508&#038;ref=sr_gallery_18&#038;&#038;ga_search_query=pendant&#038;ga_search_type=&#038;ga_page=2&#038;order=date_desc&#038;includes%5B%5D=tags&#038;includes%5B%5D=title" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/view_listi.....B%5D=title</a></p> <p>Wow - I wrote a novel on what is a pretty basic outfit!
