Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-copycat-3-steps#post-1095832 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 19:39:16 +0000 rachylou 1095832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, really well done. And very educational to see Angie's process in action. I think you nailed it. I really had to look close to see the differences because the gestalt impression is the same.</p> <p>I think also olive is your colour </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-copycat-3-steps#post-1095820 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 19:30:15 +0000 Adelfa 1095820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shemarie, I have no "discernible innate fashion sense" either. Before the blogosphere I read books, and now I go online, in order to try to build a fashion sense by small increments, one at a time. Angie's explanations (and Inge's) are my favorite thing about ylf. I'm not very visual and it's hard for me to learn from a visual example. I avoided Pinterest for a long time for this reason! </p> <p>Which is to say, you're not alone, and you're in the right place! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-copycat-3-steps#post-1095765 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 18:21:32 +0000 Day Vies 1095765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your copy! I have this same pin and adore it. I am really seeing your style perspective come through!

You look great, I don't think being more covered is a problem and I prefer your combination of unrolled pants and shoes to the look in the Pinterest pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-copycat-3-steps#post-1095572 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 15:28:50 +0000 Angie 1095572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A+++. &nbsp;Brilliantly distilled, adapted and substituted.&nbsp;</p> <p>Killer </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-copycat-3-steps#post-1095557 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 15:16:45 +0000 Sveta 1095557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you did a great job with terrific results! And I think you show enough skin to make it work - those cropped pants do not work in colder weather unless you are taking a picture for a blog and then need to run inside to warm up!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-copycat-3-steps#post-1095491 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 13:37:35 +0000 gryffin 1095491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing job, Adelfa!!&nbsp; First, I love this outfit on you!!&nbsp; I actually like your outfit better than your pin.&nbsp; Your "nudish" booties elongate your legs and I think the semi- tuck is actually more flattering.&nbsp; I think the bloggers untucked bretton with the cropped pants, may be fashion forward, but I personally don't find her proportions as pleasing.&nbsp; My eye skips from her hair to her bag and outfit but I don't really notice her face.&nbsp; In your picture I see you!!&nbsp; Cute, sassy, confident but I see the person, not the outfit, if that makes sense!&nbsp; Either way, major kudos!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-copycat-3-steps#post-1095479 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 13:23:49 +0000 Suz 1095479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job, and I love our analysis. Detailed, specific, and very helpful.&nbsp;Your jacket is fabulous!&nbsp;</p> <p>I hear you about the skin showing. I actually think in this case, your look is just as successful -- it looks as if it is for different weather conditions, and that's fine. But sometimes the glimpse of skin gives what Angie calls "structure" or perhaps some airiness and space to an outfit. And without that, it's just not as successful. This is a constant problem for me when it comes to copying bloggers' looks - - they are always going without hose or socks.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-copycat-3-steps#post-1095471 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 13:12:27 +0000 Anonymous 1095471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that you nailed the look and made it your own. I want to copy your version with my olive H&amp;M skinnies. Your jacket is gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-copycat-3-steps#post-1095450 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 11:18:32 +0000 kkards 1095450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job!

It still looks very "you" and as a bonus, you can use pieces you already have! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-copycat-3-steps#post-1095413 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 07:14:46 +0000 Ginkgo 1095413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this too and am now also looking for olive skinnies. &nbsp;You're right, the black jacket looks very appealing softened by the other colors and stripes; &nbsp;everything is still basically a neutral and mixes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-copycat-3-steps#post-1095387 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 06:15:07 +0000 kellygirl 1095387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific! You did a great job with your copy. The elements are very similar and you look uber cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-copycat-3-steps#post-1095384 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 06:13:08 +0000 Adelfa 1095384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved this pin nonstop for weeks and weeks so finally I decided to copy it using Angie's steps.</p> <p>distill: <br />I loved the combination of olive, stripes, and leather bag. I loved the casual but put together vibe. I loved the use of black that wasn't too strict or harsh when the outfit's taken as a whole.</p> <p>adapt: <br />The Chanel bag that's such a prominent feature of this outfit is unlikely to happen for me in my lifetime. The leopard flats are not in my wardrobe, nor is anything leopard at all. &nbsp;Plus the temps have dipped into the 40s here which for me is too cold to wear low-throated shoes without socks.</p> <p>substitute: <ul> <li>I scrunched the sleeves of my black moto to mimic the 3/4 sleeves in the pin. My bag is not quilted, but my moto has some quilting to add to the mix of textures!</li> <li>My Breton is too short and boxy to wear out, so I anchored it with a small semi-tuck. The neckline is higher than on the pin, and I couldn't make it stop rippling.</li> <li>My bag isn't quilted, but it has a chain!</li> <li>I substituted nude-ish suede booties for the nude-functioning leopard flats.</li> <li>I bought olive skinnies to complete this look, inexpensively. I chose not to cuff them because of the footwear substitution.</li> </ul> Comment: several of my choices meant there was less skin showing in my outfit (the sleeves didn't stay scrunched, higher neckline, covered footwear) which I thought made the outfit less successful. But I really enjoyed wearing it.</p> <p>Thoughts?</p> <p>skinnies: H&amp;M // top: St. James via J. Crew (lemming) // belt: Fossil (Angie pick) // booties: TOMS // moto: Sam Edelman (Angie pick) // bag: Rebecca Minkoff </p>
