				<description>&#060;p&#062;Thanks Mochi &#038;amp; Andrea! Mochi, the boots are Aquatalia VaVoom. They are waterproof rain boots. DH calls them my Wonder Woman boots.  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>  I can't remember, but I think this is the only time I've gotten a K2K rating. I think maybe it helps when Angie sees you are trying to stretch your fashion boundaries and move a little beyond your typical outfits and comfort zone, then she's more likely to award K-status. My guess, anyways....
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I arrived here the same way Andrea did. OMG this outfit is so amazing. And the boots....(can I ask which ones they are? I LOVE them). The funny thing is, I see something Parisian in this look....more than the other pic you were referring to in my thread. I see you riding le Metro and sipping capuccino 0n the streets of Paris!

&#060;p&#062;I just can't believe what a fast learner you are. You really are a fashion prodigy. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I'm so impressed with this outfit and desperately want to steal it. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Oh- and we are scarf twins!!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Wow Angie, you just sent me over the moon! I really need to look into this RATE look some more...Oh, and I guess I can remove &#034;feeble attempt&#034; from the title since you all seem to like it!  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>  I think I'll wear it IRL tomorrow!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Oh and cjh, I think that style you were describing might be &#034;sporty natural&#034;? That's the look I rocked pre-YLF...fleecy comfort! AKA REI chic! I have a lot of gear and clothes from there because we are into things like hiking, camping, scuba diving &#038;amp; kayaking (or at least, we were into it much more when we had a lot more free time pre-kids). Now my &#034;hobbies&#034; are mostly being a MOTG for my kids...and having fun exploring fashion with my YLF dress-up friends!

&#060;p&#062;I am not going to use any labels here. Just sticking to &#034;outrageously fabulous Nathalie&#034;. This is my favourite outfit that you have ever posted. One of the very best here on YLF. Verve, texture, and polished spunk. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Very well played  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>

&#060;p&#062;So Una, does that mean I pass muster and can join the RATE brigade? (as I sit here typing this dressed in polka dots &#038;amp; ruffled skirt &#038;amp; pearls &#038;amp; red bow tie belt, hahaha). Thanks for the challenge, this was fun! I love trying new things!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Oooh, nice job - very Kate Spade meets Kate Moss!  I am proud of you, girl!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;This makes me wonder if color has something to do with RATE.  In my mind I was picturing candy pinks somehow...

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Props!  You look fierce!  And (my two cents) don't cut your pretty hair... Maybe some layers for texture, if you want a change, but it's so covetously long and thick and dark!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;You look great and I'm hesitant to comment on the RATE aspect . . . the discussion is pretty over my head . . . but I feel it's a polished RATE - like when Una had the leather pencil skirt outfit. I guess, I'm not inclined to spend  much energy analyzing though. . .&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;You wear 'it' well, and I wonder how you felt, in that you're so naturally polished?

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Hey, what counts a lot is you look like you're having fun!!  I really like all these ingredients, and putting them together works, too.  The boots are fab!  Now, straighten up your posture and your clothes, young lady (j.k.)! and you'll really fit your own style also!!  :-)&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I've realized my own sense or definition of RATE was really off - I was thinking it meant faded or distressed, jean-ish, fleece-ish,  canvas-y, camp-hike-gear look, like the most casual Eddie Bauer or Columbia brand, etc.  I was beginning to define that as the reason I was not drawn to the jeans jacket look, even though I tried several on and like it on other people.  But all the discussions on RATE have made it clearer - but I don't know what I would call the look I was thinking of?&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Not meaning to hijack the thread, but interesting to think about.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;ZOMG LOVE!!!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I'd say you definitely achieved RATEness with this look!  I think it's the fab scarf that pushed you over the edge. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I swear, Natalie!  You are a fashion prodigy!!
