You look wonderful in all the ensembles and the bag is GREAT. I see you are a black, white, grey and red fan just like me :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-outfits-week-of-914#post-95216 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 22:34:27 +0000 April 95216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge, they were having a "buy two and save $5.50 on each" so I am trying three shades of the Caslon camis you pointed out at Nordstrom: Heather Charcoal, Parisian Purple, and Goblin. It's so hard to tell on a monitor, but Goblin appears to be a deep emerald with blue undertones. </p> <p>Woo hoo -- thank you again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-outfits-week-of-914#post-95201 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 21:29:23 +0000 Inge 95201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for explaining April, that does make sense.</p> <p>And yes, how boring was that, only black and white options. Go get that charcoal cami and tell us which other colours you snap up too!!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-outfits-week-of-914#post-95199 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 21:23:58 +0000 April 95199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge, you are the best! I love having all these choices in camis now -- remember when the options were white or black? </p> <p>I even see one of the links you sent shows a charcoal heather cami, something I have been searching for a long time. Thank you!</p> <p>I'm not that picky about woven vs. knit, but will try to explain the distinction anyway. A woven fabric is like the fabric of a shirt or of jeans. It may have stretch added to it, but if you look closely you can see where the fibers were woven together on a loom. A knit fabric is like the fabric of a tee shirt or of leggings. It is slightly stretchy even if it doesn't have a stretchy fiber added to it, and if it has spandex or something added, it's very stretchy.</p> <p>Does that make sense? I would try to explain further, but am off to shop for camis... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-outfits-week-of-914#post-95197 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 21:11:33 +0000 Inge 95197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still haven't completely figured out the difference between woven and knits-(<br /> Are jersey, nylon and modal "wovens"?

I did check J Crew and loved their simple, 1/2-inch wide black belt, but ultimately passed because the buckle is gold and I very rarely wear gold. I got this one from BR instead: <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=18184&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=670997&#038;scid=670997002" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....=670997002</a></p> <p>It's narrower and more polished than the one I'm wearing in the photo. Haven't received it yet so we'll see...</p> <p>Mae -- TWO prints. Go, you! (Do I know the pin-striped cropped blazer?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-outfits-week-of-914#post-95113 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 14:43:10 +0000 Alecia 95113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, have you checked out the belts at JCrew? They have some great stuff that would be perfect for the look you're going for and I think their prices are reasonable. I think it's worth getting quality in belts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-outfits-week-of-914#post-95108 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 14:15:03 +0000 Mae 95108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW! Hello gorgeous sister! I have been wondering about that red bag. So happy to see it's finally seeing some light. I love all the looks, but especially the BR top. Simply beautiful. </p> <p>Sorry I've been scarce... the semester has gobbled up every inch of free time. I'll try to post some photos of what I've been experimenting with at some point. But a description will have to suffice for now... On Monday, I took the plunge and wore 2 different prints (a light pin stripe cropped blazer with a polka dot top underneath). Definitely something I never would have considered pre-YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-outfits-week-of-914#post-94700 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 23:40:06 +0000 Srujana 94700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>erm....i meant in the first photo =) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-outfits-week-of-914#post-94699 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 23:39:31 +0000 Srujana 94699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>all three outfits are great but i LOVE your shoes in the last photo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-outfits-week-of-914#post-94690 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 23:12:23 +0000 GoXtina 94690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color of the bag!!

I am a huge sucker for paisley so I am really loving that BR top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-outfits-week-of-914#post-94662 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:10:45 +0000 Anonymous 94662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice. You are very elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-outfits-week-of-914#post-94658 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 20:47:29 +0000 April 94658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy -- I love the idea of a different colored cami beneath the BR top -- I only have cream, black, and chocolate brown in non-knit camis, and of the three, the cream seemed best but it does look a little glaring, doesn't it. I would *love* to have a tank like that in olive -- has anyone seen such a thing in a wove tank or shell with a little stretch? </p> <p>The sleeveless top in the red bag photo was a hand-me-down from a coworker. The day I wore that outfit, it seemed my entire building was in black and white. I am getting visually tired of that pairing this season -- made me wish I could carry the red bag with me all day.</p> <p>Alecia, I had the same thought about that traditional belt. Because I didn't have a more delicate one on hand, I decided to go ahead with it since the full trousers and blousy top were too much volume without any belt at all. Guess I'd better start looking for a more polished version... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-outfits-week-of-914#post-94555 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:51:28 +0000 medusa 94555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, great outfits! I love them all, but particularly the first one with the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-outfits-week-of-914#post-94551 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:34:07 +0000 Anonymous 94551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, as usual you look so polished but cute in all your outfits. For fall I could see a different colored cami or tank under the blouse in the third photo...maybe olive or a subdued metallic. Your first outfit (the red bag is gorgeous!) has inspired me to try my casual LBD in a new way with a sleeveless buttondown. Thank you for posting your photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-outfits-week-of-914#post-94529 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 12:10:23 +0000 Alecia 94529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the BR outfit. Wow! The bag is great. I'm loving the idea of the belting the AT top. Have you considered a thinner belt? That ones seems a little workaday for such a delicate top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-outfits-week-of-914#post-94506 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 09:11:54 +0000 rute 94506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree!
