The way you styled the neck-tie is gorgeous.<br /> Tam, you have such a great sense of making casual wear look stylish, polished, and fun. I like your wrap top.</p> <p>Niva (and others), thanks for your compliments about the necklace! I will pass them on to my aunt.</p> <p>Angie, I especially want to thank you for stepping in to add feedback for every day of this theme. Reading your comments (to me and to others) has been so fun, and I really appreciate how you always have something encouraging and positive to say about each of us. Thanks for making YLF the great supportive community that it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-64224 Thu, 07 May 2009 10:49:57 +0000 yublocka 64224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I have *loved* seeing everyones outfit. SO much fun! Can't wait for the next challenge. </p> <p>Here's my Prof Plum. I wore it on Tues but didn't have a chance to post until now. I'll confess that as I was working 15 hours that day I dressed more for comfort than the character. Still managed to sneak some plum in though :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/3510168246/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/3510168246/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-64167 Thu, 07 May 2009 00:13:25 +0000 Angie 64167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eva – Beautiful! Purple is a slam-dunk for you. It’s a fav. </p> <p>Kari – Gorgeous! Fun cardi and pretty necklace. </p> <p>Alecia – Fabulous! Love that blouse. </p> <p>Another creative interpretation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-64088 Wed, 06 May 2009 15:20:07 +0000 anne 64088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alecia - - nice kitchen! (And outfit)</p> <p>Bella - I do wear that jacket all the time. It is pleather, and fits perfectly. I have had it at least 7 years and it is cracking around the arms and collar, so I'd like to replicate but haven't seen any quite like it.</p> <p>Niva - I liked your hair up too (as well as down)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-64083 Wed, 06 May 2009 15:07:20 +0000 Alecia 64083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Niva, it is a neck tie. Sorry about the rushed post. I was multitasking on my out out the door for a run. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-64079 Wed, 06 May 2009 14:50:55 +0000 Vani 64079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eva - what a pretty dress! It makes your tiny waist look tinier.</p> <p>Kari - Love the pendant you aunt made for you. I couldn't take my eyes off it for a while! You look wonderful and polished, as always :-)</p> <p>Alecia - I'm assuming that is a tie neck and not a scarf? So pretty! It's on my shopping list :-)</p> <p>Thanks for the wonderful words everyone! This is the outfit where everything went wrong. LOL. I had planned the outfit a week in advance as this is one color I was absolutely sure I had something in. Come yesterday morning, I couldn't find the wooden bangle I wanted to pair the necklace with, a cropped brown jacket I had intended to wear with the tunic looked all wrong and I couldn't find the black tights I wanted to try the tunic with. I'm glad it worked so that I can bring that tunic into everyday rotation. It is very comfortable in FL humidity and heat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-64063 Wed, 06 May 2009 12:50:11 +0000 Alecia 64063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late to post and FINALLY got a picture from my efforts to do the challenge. You all look fabulous, as usual.</p> <p>Here's my take: <a href="http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s330/sasisierra7/ylf09/may/100_9283.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i508.photobucket.com/al.....0_9283.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-63996 Wed, 06 May 2009 02:51:53 +0000 hanna 63996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eva, that dress is killer!<br /> Kari, pretty and polished as always! I love that you blogged about what you got out of the challenge - I'm planning a post on that for tomorrow!</p> <p>Medusa, I actually posted about the challenge a week or so before we started, then posted a reminder the day before. Things move so quickly on this forum though! That's why I tried to make whatever "rules" we had as flexible as possible. I'm sure there'll be more challenges so I hope you'll be able to join in the fun next time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-63985 Wed, 06 May 2009 02:32:55 +0000 medusa 63985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You all are fantastic, as usual.</p> <p>One suggestion for those of us who are new to this - maybe for the next challenge you could consider just doing one day a week, or maybe just announce the challenge a week in advance? I'm definitely slow at this, I would need some time to plan.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-63984 Wed, 06 May 2009 02:30:50 +0000 Kari 63984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna, I love the purple cardigan and print dress. So pretty!<br /> Anne, wow, I don't think I've seen you in purple before, and you look great in the color.<br /> Kristen, the top looks so pretty and hits you just in the right place.<br /> Bella, that *is* the perfect Professor Plum jacket. I love it with the skinnies &#38; boots.<br /> Niva, I love your layering, and I wish *my* bed hair looked half as good or had half as much volume. I like it down because the cut looks so pretty.<br /> Eva, I love your beautiful patterned dress - the ruching/wrap (I can't tell which) at the waist is great.</p> <p>Here is mine. Hehe, I guess we all had a boot theme today due to nasty weather, but I wore mine under pants instead.<br /> <a href="http://inkariswardrobe.blogspot.com/2009/05/professor-plum.html" rel="nofollow">http://inkariswardrobe.blogspo.....-plum.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-63972 Wed, 06 May 2009 02:05:21 +0000 Eva 63972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to laugh because my morning was similarly chaotic as several of the responders. </p> <p>Hanna, you close up pictures worked well. Very nice outfit.<br /> Anne, love the jacket with the skirt<br /> Kristen, lovely top<br /> Bella, you always look so good<br /> Niva, love the funky look on you.</p> <p>The weather turn black with a vengeance today. It stormed all night and the rains continued in the morning commute. So I was back to boots. Here is my Pr. Purple.<br /> <a href="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk223/E-RPics/Clue%20Theme/IMG_4246.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i281.photobucket.com/al.....G_4246.jpg</a></p> <p>Hanna, I have had so much fun with your game. I am at a loss for what to wear tomorrow. Thank you for the challenge! What about Monopoly? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-63949 Wed, 06 May 2009 00:58:17 +0000 hanna 63949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, thank you angie! i quite like purple, though i wouldn't call it a favorite by any stretch - but i am very much into most colors you can find on the spectrum, so chances are any color you mention, i've got it in my closet!</p> <p>i'm putting some thought into coming up with more challenges - a 'favorite literary character come to life' challenge, an outfit based on your favorite song or nursery rhyme, picking one trend you wore in your childhood/teens and making it work with your current style, a 'give up your style crutch for a week' challenge, whether that's jeans, or cardigans, or whatever. any of those sound appealing? i have lots more ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-63947 Wed, 06 May 2009 00:52:28 +0000 GoXtina 63947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW! I love the outfit! Purple looks gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-63941 Wed, 06 May 2009 00:42:30 +0000 Angie 63941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna – Fabulous look! I love you in purple and it looks so interesting with the chestnut brown. Hmmm. Purple might be one of your best colours too. I can’t remember what your favourite colour is but I don’t think it’s purple. Wear more purple :-)</p> <p>Anne – I love the top half of your outfit! Gorgeous jacket, necklace and top. YUMMY colour purple on you. </p> <p>Kristin – Pretty, polished and professional! Purple is another good colour on you. </p> <p>Bella – KILLER. I might like you best in pink. Is it one of your favourite colours? </p> <p>Niva – Arty, creative super fab! You look great and the necklace is genius with the outfit. Unexpected and funky. I can’t believe you don’t blow dry your hair and it looks so perfect. You lucky fish. </p> <p>Hanna, what’s the next challenge? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-63934 Wed, 06 May 2009 00:21:56 +0000 Kristen 63934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh, purple and pink! Bella, nicely done. Very professorial and yet still the essence of Bella. </p> <p>Niva, I love that whole outfit! The tunic is great, and you did an outstanding job accessorizing it. The beads, the shoes, YUM. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-63901 Tue, 05 May 2009 19:43:01 +0000 bella 63901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just realized that I didn't see anne's picture the first time. What a fabulous jacket! i would wear it all the time if it were mine!:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-63897 Tue, 05 May 2009 19:13:47 +0000 hanna 63897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>phew, some time in the day at last! </p> <p>anne, so very rock and roll! i envy your ability to wear long skirts and look fab - i just look like i'm drowning in fabric!</p> <p>kristen, i am loving that top, but those SHOES. i die. i may have to steal them. also, i prefer the top long, actually, for that loose tunic-y vibe. but that's just me!</p> <p>bella, such a preppy, professorial plum! a cord blazer over a sweater is actually a favorite combo of mine, and i LOVE the mix of plum and pink. so deelish.</p> <p>niva, if i could steal that tunic from you, i would in a heartbeat!</p> <p>thank you for participating guys! i will be posting a recap tonight or tomorrow, and perhaps tossing around some ideas for upcoming challenges </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-63890 Tue, 05 May 2009 18:50:25 +0000 bella 63890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I'm back!</p> <p>Hanna- what a great outfit with lots of interesting details!<br /> Kristen - I think that top caught my eye the very first time you posted it. It looks fabulous on you.<br /> Niva- I don't have the words to express how wonderful that outfit is. I would steal it from you and wear it myself. I like it hair down. Btw, I realized that I look younger when I wear my hair up like that. something to keep in mind when choosing hair style. </p> <p>Thanks Hanna for coming up with this idea and to all the ladies who played along. It was a lot of fun. I am looking forward to the next challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-63872 Tue, 05 May 2009 17:57:18 +0000 Vani 63872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna, Wow! One look at you and I would have had no idea you had such a frazzled morning had you not told us. So pretty,yummy purples there! I really like the patterned skirt. Another fabulous outfit!</p> <p>Anne, Rocker Chic(k) vibes! Very pretty Love the demure purple with the sexy jacket.</p> <p>Kristen, As always, such a lovely, rich plum! You have such an eye for beautiful colors, and more importantly to put everything together so fabulously. I have shoe envy. I..want..those..shoes.</p> <p>Bella, You make everything look so "easy". Fab, fab, fab :-D</p> <p>Here's my, very laid back outfit. I have this beautiful plum tunic my mother got stitched from scratch for me in India. But the tailor messed it up and it looks awful by itself. I tried to pair it with a light brown cardi and a necklace with some green beads. There is some plum and some green in the shoes I'm wearing so hopefully things look a little tied together. Please excuse the bed hair. I have been feeling thoroughly wiped from my workouts and mother nature and overslept.</p> <p><a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj209/vmmpics/ylfmay09/?action=view&#038;current=plum4.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s273.photobucket.com/al.....=plum4.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj209/vmmpics/ylfmay09/?action=view&#038;current=plum2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s273.photobucket.com/al.....=plum2.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj209/vmmpics/ylfmay09/?action=view&#038;current=plum3.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s273.photobucket.com/al.....=plum3.jpg</a></p> <p>The last two were taken in a dressing room at Target, where I was experimenting with my hair up. Excuse the low resolution, my phone's camera sucks. Which looks better with the outfit, hair up or down? A colleague I asked (female :-D) say it looks better in person with the hair up.</p> <p><a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj209/vmmpics/ylfmay09/?action=view&#038;current=plum.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s273.photobucket.com/al.....t=plum.jpg</a></p> <p>I'm so sad theme week is over Now I have to plan my outfits entirely from my imagination...there's another challenge for me!</p> <p>Wonderful, wonderful job Hanna, coordinating this. It was thoroughly fun!! Please think of another theme soon, please!</p> <p>Thanks ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-63842 Tue, 05 May 2009 16:20:58 +0000 bella 63842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will comment on everyone's outfit when I return but I want to post this before I run out the door:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26160917@N03/3504131069/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....otostream/</a><br /> Cheers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-63810 Tue, 05 May 2009 14:44:47 +0000 Laura 63810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys are too much fun! Thanks for sharing your plum outfits. Professor Plum was always one of my favorite Clue characters but I always imagined him a bit younger and handsomer, maybe that's why!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-last-day-professor-plum-frazzles-me#post-63807 Tue, 05 May 2009 14:41:03 +0000 Kristen 63807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna, I am giggling because I had much the same morning. I think we were just a little TOO into character! </p> <p>Love the whole package; the brown belt is an especially nice touch. It softens the purple and brings out the pretty lace of the camisole.</p> <p>Anne, wow, I am usually not a fan of long skirts, but you look absolutely TERRIFIC in yours! I think it's the shorter length of the leather jacket that makes it work so well. Love the purple and the necklace together.</p> <p>Here is my Professor Plum: I finally get to break out the plum mesh-knit top I got at ATL a while back! I'm linking to 2 different versions of the same pictures; one with the top as it is and one with the hem length folded under. I think it does need to get a little cut off the bottom. What do you guys think? </p> <p>Full-Length:<br /> short: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/3503651321/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....503651321/</a><br /> long: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/3504463304/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....504463304/</a></p> <p>Close-up:<br /> short: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/3504464034/in/set-72157617637588245/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....637588245/</a><br /> long: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/3504463726/in/set-72157617637588245/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....637588245/</a></p> <p>My nod to his Professor-ship is also in my shoes. Who doesn't look at plaid and think academics, after all? Ok, maybe the peeptoe and the skinny heel makes it a little less smartypants... :)<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/3503650599/in/set-72157617637588245/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....637588245/</a></p> <p>Mr. Green had to get a word in today too:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/3503651027/in/set-72157617637588245/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....637588245/</a></p> <p>This was a BLAST, Hanna!
