Such an excellent use of inspiration while keeping your own amazing signature style. Beautifully done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233800 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 21:46:16 +0000 Jenni NZ 2233800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think appreciating someone else’s style without feeling one needs to do the same ( in reference to your boots) is a great lesson to learn as we all understand ourselves better. It has helped me a lot. I have recently been reading my stash of 2010-2013 fashion magazines that I had kept, since we are still in lockdown. I was intrigued to see that I was still drawn to some of the same outfits about 10 years on, and not at all to others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233638 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 02:24:32 +0000 CarolS 2233638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL -- well, they would certainly not be "for me" -- but I can sure appreciate the heck out of them for you. They are amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233637 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 02:09:23 +0000 Bijou 2233637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, the boots are fabulous with both turquoise dresses that you found for me. I love them both and will be wearing them as soon as our temperatures warm up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233628 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 01:46:36 +0000 Brooklyn 2233628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! This is really nice and a fun experiment. I can see the inspiration. No 4 is my killer fave (to borrow an Angie expression). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233616 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 01:14:17 +0000 Bijou 2233616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Star, I’m glad you can see SF’s style in these.</p> <p>Tanya, the jacket has been a great wardrobe item. It was nice to wear it again. It is fun that this was both your and Katerina’s favourite, as you both have an amazing collection of blazers.</p> <p>Angie, I always think of you when wearing yellow, and my Mum, as yellow was her favourite colour.</p> <p>Nikki, I love a good paisley print too.</p> <p>Carol, the boots were quite a find. I love them, but know they are something that most people would just say ‘no way’ to wearing.</p> <p>Sally, for me SF’s style has quite a lot in common with me, so this was reasonably easy. </p> <p>Minaminu, It was nice to explore different elements of SF’s style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233598 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 22:08:48 +0000 Minaminu 2233598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun experiment, very well represented SF style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233576 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 21:40:50 +0000 Sally 2233576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool.&nbsp; I love the colours in the last one very much but they all look great.&nbsp; That's quite a hard task....to identify and take someone else's style and fuse it with your own to come up with something unique.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233559 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 21:12:04 +0000 CarolS 2233559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! What a fun exercise -- and so well executed! BTW those boots leave me a bit speechless.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233556 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 20:59:02 +0000 Anonymous 2233556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most excellent job! Embodiment of Fash with Bijou influences. Love the paisley dress </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233530 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 18:00:59 +0000 Angie 2233530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW! <i>Soooo stinking cute!</i> You did a stellar job integrating components of<b> SF's</b> styl<i></i><i></i>e into your own, <b>Bijou</b>. WELL DONE! LOVE!&nbsp;</p> <p>You are glam, polished, playful, creative, fashion-forward, and ooze having fun with fashion :)</p> <p>&nbsp;I can't get past #4</p> <p>KILLER to the POWER OF KILLER</p> <p>*fainted* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233480 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 13:07:47 +0000 Tanya 2233480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a fun set of outfits!&nbsp; I can see both the inspiration style (SF's) and Bijou style in all the outfits.&nbsp; The first one is really gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233476 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 12:58:41 +0000 Star (Lise) 2233476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow you really nailed SF's look.&nbsp; So interesting (and pretty). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233460 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 11:54:06 +0000 Bijou 2233460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenni</b> - I am glad to see that you can see the influence, rather than trying to copy SF's style.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sal</b> - the first jacket was something that immediately came to mind when SF said "do me"!</p> <p><b>Rachy</b> - the boots are fun, I can totally see you wearing them.</p> <p><b>Jessikams</b> - the pink and yellow is my favourite too, the boots are crazy but strangely easy to work with.</p> <p><b>Synne</b> - thank you - I had to add the 'badass' outfit as you made me laugh with that post.</p> <p><b>Katerina</b> - that is high praise indeed. The first blazer is a lovely and classic piece. Something that I often throw on with jeans and I have always loved the raspberry pink colour.</p> <p><b>Stagiaire Fash</b> - I am glad you like them and thank you for being a fun and fashionable presence on the forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233453 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 10:45:24 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2233453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do I approve? Oh my word, I’m honored! To see that I have a recognizable style, and then to see it elevated with your glam, is very cool. </p> <p>The first jacket must be the one you thought of right off the bat and you’re right—I love its 70s flash, with the texture and the color. You’ve done an amazing job blending our styles—the short paisley dress with boots, but with a bolder graphic contrast and in a different color, the superbly funky boots, but with heels that are more you than me, the fuchsia skirt, but with a slant hem and styled to be glam. All really cool combos of our styles. </p> <p>Being fashion-fearless and having fun with it are common to both our styles, and you’re quite the badass yourself. Thanks for doing the outfits and the post. &lt;3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233447 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 10:15:01 +0000 Katerina 2233447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love this! Super fun. I am sure SF will be thrilled. It’s so amazing to be able to recognize your inspiration and yet all the outfits are inherently yours. Love all of them. I especially admire no 1 - the blazer is just gorgeous and love the combination with the eyelet lace top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233441 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 08:29:38 +0000 Synne 2233441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes!!! This is so meta! And cool! Love them all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233440 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 08:14:52 +0000 Jessikams 2233440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that pink and yellow outfit! Swoon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233432 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 07:11:18 +0000 rachylou 2233432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that’s inspired. I totally see it. And I want the boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233431 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 07:08:11 +0000 Sal 2233431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great renditions here. I see SF in the first two the most. What fun!!</p> <p>They all look excellent and those are wonderful boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233430 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 07:00:16 +0000 Jenni NZ 2233430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh very good! I can see it! To me the shorter dress one is the most SF-like.<br /> They all look Bijou-like too though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-inspiration---the-sf-edition#post-2233427 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 06:45:20 +0000 Bijou 2233427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stagiaire Fash asked me to 'do her' on a recent forum post where I took inspiration from other's style and make them my own.</p> <p>There is quite a bit of intersection between our styles, so I decided that I did not want to be limited to just one outfit. I have tried to capture SF's style qualities that I admire. I hope she approves!</p> <p>1. Old berry velvet jacket (circa 2005) and Jodie cropped flared jeans, my oldest jeans. SF likes berry colours and keeps and wears her clothing as she is not into fashion churn.</p> <p>2. SF is happy to wear shorter skirts and has a love of paisley prints. This linen dress is boho-lite and perfect for my climate. I love the paisley embroidered detailing.</p> <p>3. SF was once called a 'badass' by Synne, which I loved as she is fearless in her style and never takes things too seriously. This is me being 'badass' too, breaking the rules and wearing double denim with a bow scarf to make it me.</p> <p>4. SF loves fun footwear. These are my crazy boots worn with bold colour. This was my favourite outfit of the week. DH loved this one too.</p> <p>SF thanks for inspiring this challenge! </p>
