I saved the white version in my inspiration file, it came in black also.<br /> I think UWP would have to add holster belts to toughen it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-541163 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 03:32:09 +0000 modgrl 541163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about Helmut Lang <a href="http://www.manrepeller.com/search?updated-max=2012-02-14T07:23:00-08:00&#038;max-results=2" rel="nofollow">http://www.manrepeller.com/sea.....-results=2</a>, it is all fall layered looks though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-541146 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 03:10:34 +0000 rae 541146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, I think I saw that AS dress, too, but the one I saw had a very gathered skirt that made it too hot for LA summer... and I do believe the neckline was too low not to layer it over something, if I'm thinking of the right one. </p> <p>Una, I'll make some faux-spat pants while I'm at it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-541080 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 01:37:54 +0000 nicoleb 541080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UWP princess dresses exist ladies! I scored an awesome one at Nordstrom Rack at the end of summer last year. It's a dark maroon with black mesh over top, slight aline shape and these bronze um...circular..bumpy...beads all along the straps. It's by a brand called "Sugar Lips"(?) I don't really like that name...</p> <p>A picture probably done a lot better in the situation...</p> <p>ETA: There was also a really neat All Saints dress i saw last year with buckle belt shoulder straps...i'll try to find a picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-541077 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 01:29:40 +0000 Mo 541077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, Una, I'll buy! And add a leather buckled strap tank to it to top off the ensemble, okay? Let me know when it's ready </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-541068 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 01:19:22 +0000 catgirl 541068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And here's my first suggestion: skinny slouchy linen cargo pants with grommet detailing on the hems. I feel a DIY coming on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-541066 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 01:18:03 +0000 catgirl 541066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think between the two of us we could give Allsaints a run for their money! Think UWP with added color, ethnic spin, and all our YLF knowledge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540974 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 23:56:38 +0000 rae 540974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I know we keep saying that half-jokingly, but maybe there is something to it! Cobbling up some summer-worthy UWP items is new on my to-do list. I bet lots of lines got started because someone couldn't find the items they wanted in stores. </p> <p>Mo, you are the Suburban Reserves Duchess! hehe! You have pretty much described my approach thus far, apart from not being able to wear metal on my skin when it's warm. Hm, maybe building in some metal details to items would help... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540971 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 23:49:22 +0000 Mo 540971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, a total fun dress that I could never pull off but I wish one of you UWP would! <a href="http://wesc.com/product/37733" rel="nofollow">http://wesc.com/product/37733</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540968 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 23:46:37 +0000 Mo 540968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not that I'm a full fledged UWP(I think we decided suburban military duchess or some such thing?) but I found translating shorts to pants and jackets to short sleeves helpful . . . 2 of my more military or utility inpired pieces that gave me mileage in the heat were my crop cotton moto and bermuda cargos. Maybe depend on accessories like leather or metal cuff bracelets and gladiator sandals to give you that edge? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540966 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 23:45:51 +0000 catgirl 540966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Time for us to start our own clothing line - we even have a name already: UWP (or we could go by Yoop Designs). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540965 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 23:42:46 +0000 rae 540965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, so true... I feel as though I do a decent job with short/nude boots, distressed short shorts, and belts. Not tons of room to switch it up within that formula, though! Extra tough with dresses - why there aren't more airy, slinky dresses around with leather straps, holsters, and military details, I just don't understand. o_0</p> <p>Maybe this is a summer DIY series waiting to happen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540950 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 23:27:27 +0000 catgirl 540950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, LOL. That's an Alaskan summer look. All it's missing is a giant mosquito (our resident evil).</p> <p>I think it's harder to get the UWP look in summer because the colors are lighter, the fabrics are lighter, and you have less layering options. Summer seems like a more feminine season somehow. Don't you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540697 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:32:25 +0000 rae 540697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, go Nicole! I'm adding "DIY a hi-low tank dress" to my thrift list for Spring. I have two hi-lo dresses from past seasons, but both have sleeves. Love the idea of another one for super hot weather. </p> <p>Una, I know what you mean! I've been surfing around looking for inspiration and so far all I have is this... kinda sad, but it's a start. lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540676 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:01:31 +0000 nicoleb 540676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The 90s! I can't wait to break out my studded denim vest to wear over pretty dresses. Lace biker jacket + my hi-lo skirt. Dresses with denim jackets. My crazy splatter pant pants. Cool hats. Mesh, mesh, mesh! </p> <p>Can you tell i really want spring? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540675 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:57:45 +0000 catgirl 540675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm needing inspiration for summer - my hardest season for sure to be a UWP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540664 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:32:15 +0000 rae 540664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, you waxed those yourself?? I did not know that was possible! Very cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540653 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:15:53 +0000 goldenpig 540653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just waxed a pair of snakeskin skinny jeans!

Now I understand the haircut - not what I had pictured!</p> <p>Jayne, I do like safari inspired stuff!

So I will sit back and live through you "gals". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540274 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 03:27:02 +0000 jayne 540274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am feeling for safari, hope it is a side bar to UWP and ...ok not UWP...sporty sport..like maxmara and stell mccartney...if I can find similar in lower prices </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540250 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 02:47:37 +0000 ironkurtin 540250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I try to find interesting silhouettes and textures in linen knits. How succesful I am, I dunno. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540149 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:46:13 +0000 Jjsloane 540149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, not a tribe member, but I admire from afar.</p> <p>Rita totally rocks that edgy hairstyle! It's captured in GirlX's illustration: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-meetups-are-the-best" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....e-the-best</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540129 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:34:49 +0000 rae 540129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those leggings are pretty awesome - kind of Tron-ish, and I love Tron. Too warm for a CA summer, though I am going to keep the color combo in mind for sure. I have a nude sweater and hopefully will have a solid orange skirt if it fits when it arrives. </p> <p>IK, I wonder if that is part of why I'm more attracted to winter clothes - way less texture in the summer. How do you do textures for the heat? I know you like linen. </p> <p>Rita, I'm unfamillar with that 80s hairstyle, but I sure can't picture you in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540066 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:32:36 +0000 modgrl 540066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I shaved the back of my head, late 80s punk style </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540046 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:20:46 +0000 ironkurtin 540046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think texture, distressing, and fit for me. Not a lot of distressing in the shows, but texture (as opposed to print patterns) and fit - oh yes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540043 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:16:50 +0000 annagybe 540043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should get these</p> <p><a href="http://www.shopbop.com/tribal-leather-inserts-leggings-david/vp/v=1/845524441931463.htm?folderID=2534374302029428&#038;fm=whatsnew-shopbysize&#038;colorId=40658" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/tribal-.....orId=40658</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uwp-tribe-whats-inspiring-you-for-ss-2012#post-540014 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 21:29:21 +0000 rae 540014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As the fashion week coverage has been rolling in, I find myself drooling at every other show, lusting after the dramatic collars, beautiful coats, fab boots, and other warmies. And I can't for the life of me remember a single look from the spring shows... </p> <p>So far, I'm just planning on translating my F/W formulas into some lighter and brighter colors, but have you seen anythig worthy of an inspiration board? I want to try and buy less, so remixing inspiration seems like it will be necessary for me this year. </p>
