The bag will not be too much, it will keep the sparkle on if you need to remove the bomber.<br /> Wish you a pleasant and not too emotional day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656478 Sat, 07 May 2016 03:41:26 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1656478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Janet said. I endorse wearing one of your fab creations. The outfit looks stellar. Maybe even better than the original plan. The 80s hits bag is a shoe-in!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656463 Sat, 07 May 2016 02:36:11 +0000 Suz 1656463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are going to wow them! I think this outfit is perfect. Great choices esp. considering the weather changes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656414 Sat, 07 May 2016 00:13:56 +0000 Carla 1656414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to be you when I grow up.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656315 Fri, 06 May 2016 21:04:23 +0000 Angie 1656315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was quite the Freudian slip wasn't it. (And we posted at the same time).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656314 Fri, 06 May 2016 21:03:35 +0000 approprio 1656314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>haha Angie, I spotted the typo You're quite right, we need to leave our teenage resentments at home. We're all grown-ups now, even if we don't always feel like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656313 Fri, 06 May 2016 21:03:27 +0000 Angie 1656313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The necklace we got together is another perfect '80s touch. ENJOY. Much love to you, Liz.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656312 Fri, 06 May 2016 21:01:26 +0000 approprio 1656312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much for your feedback. I'm feeling much better now And sorry it took a while to get back, I've been loitering on FB with the old girls' network this evening.</p> <p>Thanks for endorsing my fall-back plan. I think the bomber will be fine in the hot weather because unlike the blazer it can be folded and stuffed in a tote.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sally</b>, that's a good point. I should just wear short sleeves, act normal and hope nobody notices.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>DianeG</b>, ain't that the truth. London is very confused by that big yellow shiny thing that appeared in the sky yesterday. It looks so familiar but nobody can remember when they last saw it.</p> <p>aw<b> Angie!</b>&nbsp;thanks for posting that pic of us all in our white shoes!&nbsp;As if there wasn't already FTMGO I'll probably add the necklace I bought on that shopping trip. It does a lot to elevate the black.</p> <p><b>goldenpig</b> et al, the bag was&nbsp;a gift from my awesome sister, no idea where it came from. She's very good at finding the coolest accessories.</p> <p>Anyway. Everything's ironed and hung up ready for tomorrow. Looking forward to a beautiful day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656304 Fri, 06 May 2016 20:53:03 +0000 Angie 1656304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fixed my typo - '80s <i><b>b</b></i>ag, not "nag". I don't recommend bringing along a &nbsp;nag!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656299 Fri, 06 May 2016 20:49:31 +0000 goldenpig 1656299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sparkle bomber and 80's mix tape bag. Totally awesome! So rad!<br />Where did you get that bag? I die! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656294 Fri, 06 May 2016 20:43:21 +0000 Angie 1656294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up.&nbsp;</p> <p>At first I thought it was going to be too dark and very black. But since you're adding the bomber and bag - you'll be adding some sparkle.&nbsp;</p> <p>You know. You could also wear this outfit, Liz. Very '80s and breezy. And Spring-y. Add the '80s bag though!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656163 Fri, 06 May 2016 18:44:08 +0000 Sally 1656163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That outfit is fabulous. I did like the outfit in the other post but also think this is a good alternative in hotter weather. The sparkly jacket and shoes look great with those pants. I also really like the bag. ...where do you find these things? ? Never see anything as cool when I go shopping. They may not notice the tattoo. I had to look for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656146 Fri, 06 May 2016 18:37:22 +0000 rachylou 1656146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the bomber! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656123 Fri, 06 May 2016 18:19:11 +0000 Elizabeth P 1656123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also missed the first post, but you HAVE to take that bag with you.&nbsp; I also vote bomber, if it's not too hot.&nbsp; Great outfit, very you. Will you need a layer for the evening?&nbsp; </p> <p>and good luck with the tat reveal! :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656105 Fri, 06 May 2016 17:56:32 +0000 Mochi 1656105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a work of living art. So beyond cool. And that bag is incredible. &nbsp;</p> <p>IMO (as someone who spent a chunk of the 80's in Tokyo), this *could be* the 80's, Japanese version.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656100 Fri, 06 May 2016 17:51:47 +0000 Roxanna 1656100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the sparkly bomber. Looks so cool. And the bag is a must! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656087 Fri, 06 May 2016 17:24:46 +0000 Anonymous 1656087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, loving the sparkly bomber and gaucho pants. And yes to the bag and shoes.</p> <p>The weather is crazy isn't it? So humid today...although the forecast said possible thundery showers tomorrow.&nbsp;So typical of the UK...two hot days and a thunderstorm tends to be the sum of our Summers!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656086 Fri, 06 May 2016 17:23:56 +0000 AviaMariah 1656086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed the first post too. &nbsp;I think the bomber jacket if it's not too warm and the 80's purse for sure! &nbsp;I'm intrigued by the little bit I can see of your outfit in #2 (where you're showing your bag). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656085 Fri, 06 May 2016 17:18:51 +0000 CocoLion 1656085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes the world <i>is</i> upside down. &nbsp;It's 50 degrees here, normally it's already Summer weather this time of year in California.</p> <p>You have a distinctive style and never miss a step. &nbsp;I like your idea here, I would bring along the bomber because you MUST show it off! &nbsp;The jacket, shoes and bag are all conversation starters and no they are not too much together, because of the neutral color palette. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656084 Fri, 06 May 2016 17:16:28 +0000 Sara L. 1656084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will you be too hot in the bomber?&nbsp; I would go with the one that will be most comfortable for the weather as I think they are both great.&nbsp; Definitely use the bag - it's so perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656083 Fri, 06 May 2016 17:16:14 +0000 Anonymous 1656083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed the first post too - I'm not great at sorting through options - ha. Sparkly bomber over a draped t seems like a good layering plan to me - and I don't see the mixed tape bag as having too much going on - I mean, the whole look is a lot going on ! Go for it:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656082 Fri, 06 May 2016 17:05:06 +0000 Janet 1656082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed the first plan, but I gotta go with option 2 -- you need to represent with that sparkly bomber! Gah, those boots are awesome. And yes, you must use that bag with the outfit, it's too perfect for the occasion.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's official. The world is upside down. London and Seattle are warm and sunny, while we're cold and drenched in the mid-Atlantic US.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656079 Fri, 06 May 2016 16:59:52 +0000 Helena 1656079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love outfit #2 and that purse is amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-hot-for-my-bad-boyfriend#post-1656077 Fri, 06 May 2016 16:56:01 +0000 approprio 1656077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It had to happen, didn’t it? London is basking in an unexpected heat wave, laying waste to my outfit plans. My stellar vintage ‘80s blazer will be far too warm for this weather, so I am reverting to a hastily formulated Plan B for tomorrow’s assembly of the Class of ’86.</p> <p>Fortunately, on the agenda for this weekend was a couple of hours in London’s recently refurbished Uniqlo flagship store, so I’ve grabbed the Lemaire gaucho pants I was stalking (on sale for a tenner) as well as the button-down shirt and an AIRism draped tee.</p> <p>I now have a couple of different options, less impressive than the last ones, but I can’t feel fab if I’m all hot and sweaty. So now I’ll be wearing the gaucho pants and Trippen booties with…</p> </p> <ul> <li>Minimalist black button down shirt, statement necklace (borrowed from my mother), no jacket. Lacks embellishment but plenty of mystique.</li> </ul> </p> <p><b>OR</b></p> </p> <ul> <li>“Own Brand” sparkly bomber (designed by me) over the draped tee. Has the added advantage of representing my nascent career in ethical fashion design, as well as the awkward prospect of ‘fessing up to my parents about the tattoo.</li> </ul> </p> <ul> </ul> Also thinking of carrying the ’80’s mix tape bag even though it’s not quite right with the shirt and FTMGO with the jacket.</p> <p>What do you guys think? Halp!</p> <p> </p>
