Even better!<br /> #4 I like how the color of the sweater is picked up in the scarf<br /> #5 The effort was worth it. Fabulous!<br /> #6 They look plenty long - scraping the floor even<br /> #7 You have a fabulous figure, so I wouldn't worry about wearing close-fitting things at all. This isn't a style I've tried. I guess I would picture pants like this ending just below the ankle, but I don't really know.</p> <p>All in all, you have here a whole week's worth of fabulous outfits. How great is that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-finally-mnsara#post-124128 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 04:14:36 +0000 Anonymous 124128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm echoing the others on the amazing difference of your new V-neck look. #1&amp;2 and #5 are especially lovely.

Do you think you would be conscious of them all day or need to constantly adjust them? If so, then maybe return.</p> <p>Macy's is having some super shoe deals lately. Isn't Rachel Roy pretty expensive? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-finally-mnsara#post-123955 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 16:21:43 +0000 Louise 123955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara you did see piccies of me in zippered ponte pants and killer shoes, sadly the trousers had to go back as the knees bagged out after a morning's wear i was gutted but they really did look awful so i'm back to drooling x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-finally-mnsara#post-123949 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 16:11:32 +0000 MNsara 123949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, my gosh, Angie - Wow!! Killer v-necks? Really? If so, it's all due to your incredible coaching (as you can see where I was coming from pre-YLF. . . ). Thank you, thank you, thank you </p> <p>rute, louise, boof, claudia, marianna - thank you for such kind comments. It's so encouraging when changes I'm making make a real (positive) difference. </p> <p>louise - didn't I see some killer pics of you in zippered skinnies and some hot shoes?</p> <p>boof - go for it!! but allow extra time for getting ready ;-)</p> <p>marianna - those flats are still floating around Macy's clearance racks around here. . .Rachel Roy. . .in ivory or brown. . .with extra % off they were about $15 a pair. . .maybe for you too. . . ?</p> <p>queenie - button down workout, huh? chocolate rewards!

Love the burnished moto jacket! You and Queenie have inspired me to wear my white button down that sits lonely in my closet! I'm going to shamelessly copy #5! :o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-finally-mnsara#post-123929 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 15:02:13 +0000 Queen Mum 123929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara- be sure to grab the bottom of the sleeves with your fingers before you put the sweater on over the button down- atleast then you dont' have to go fishing for the sleeves. but no, it's not effortless;-) altleast you get your workout in though- so after you get yourself all together you can go reward yourself with chocolate!</p> <p>and your pants look to me the perfect length.... AND I love the zippered jeans on you! wear them with sass and feel like a million bucks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-finally-mnsara#post-123926 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 13:59:11 +0000 Claudia 123926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Great job. #5 made my heart race. The collar/cuff primping was totally worth the extra effort. I really like your handbag, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-finally-mnsara#post-123924 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 10:37:01 +0000 Louise 123924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOWZA i'm lost for words those looks are fantastic, i'm drooling over the zippered skinnies x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-finally-mnsara#post-123916 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 09:22:50 +0000 rute 123916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow Sara!!!!!!!! What a difference!

Absolutely fabulous, Sara!!! Outfit #1 and #5 are KILLER. In fact, I'm giving you a totally KILLER rating for this challenge. Wow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-finally-mnsara#post-123910 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 06:58:08 +0000 MNsara 123910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya - Sorry I missed your post before. But you noticed! I felt very Angie-like when holding my bag for the photo and I think you're on the right track with not letting my other pieces look too youthful when wearing the zipped pants.</p> <p>I think I will keep the Kuts, but its those darn NYDJ that come up high enough in the back AND front that I feel really 'secure' (that's actually the word one of the denim lines uses!).</p> <p>Legacy - thank you for the kind words </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-finally-mnsara#post-123906 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 05:54:24 +0000 LoP 123906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it all! You did so well. The color of the v-neck is perfect. I want those zippered skinnies and flats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-finally-mnsara#post-123904 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 05:44:00 +0000 MNsara 123904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, queenie - so your effortlessly stylish button down outfits REALLY were labor intensive too? Who knew! It does add a crispness that is (probably) worth it!</p> <p>taylor - thanks for your comments and the zipper legs vote. I'll look over my shoes and try some little heels! It will make me long for spring too. . .</p> <p>Thanks, AJ - on the CITRON sweater I love the color and can't be more pleased that it is having its day again. The burnished moto is Guess, from Macy's. A couple weeks ago it suddenly dropped to 80% off and I figured I can get my money's worth out of it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-finally-mnsara#post-123901 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 05:31:43 +0000 AJ 123901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Sara!<br /> I luv the color of that sweater on you!! Looks very sophisticated with the pearls and the pinstriped pants.<br /> Both moto jackets are fabulous!! Did the burnished one come from Coldwater Creek?<br /> What is it about the Kut for Kloth jeans that you're hesitating about? Looks good to me!<br /> I've been looking for some grey jeans, so I'm going to have to check my NR for that brand. I already own one pair of NYDJ and I like them as well.<br /> I'm still a novice about PPL, so I'll leave that one to the experts.<br /> Just wanted to say it looks like you got some successful finds and nicely styled on the different looks for the challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-finally-mnsara#post-123897 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 05:22:16 +0000 taylor 123897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sara,</p> <p>You look great:) The moto with the pearls...so pretty. My fave was the "effortless"<br /> button down style...so Fab:)</p> <p>I am 52 and I would wear those cute zipper jeans. I think if flats are your usuual footwear then go with that otherwise a small heel or open toe pump would be cute too. Nice Loot:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-finally-mnsara#post-123896 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 05:18:49 +0000 Queen Mum 123896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sara,<br /> love every outfit (well, except that very first one- please pitch that ;-)</p> <p>Yes, getting the buttondown situated is quite the ordeal isn't it? But the look is worth it! That is a great look on you. I'm constantly amazed at the difference it makes.<br /> Great outfits- please post pics more often.<br /> Love your moto jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-finally-mnsara#post-123887 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 04:34:43 +0000 Maya 123887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOOO Sara, I love these! The moto jacket, zipped pants, pearls...I see Angie's influence on you! They look great on you. Please keep the Kut jeans. They look awesome. I also love your attention to detail. I never really think about how my collar layers over my jacket.</p> <p>I am no expert on age appropriateness as it isn't an issue for me just yet...but I think you can wear the zippered ankles pants if you keep the outfit sophisticated. </p> <p>If NYDJ works for you, then by all means wear them. *I* don't like the name because they make me VERY aware that I am not their target demographic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-finally-mnsara#post-123884 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 04:14:59 +0000 MNsara 123884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You all have been so inspiring with your great v-necks! I had accepted the v-neck challenge, but just kept soaking up your ideas. So I finally got some pics for your comments and suggestions.</p> <p>First, I'll show you my one remaining pre-YLF v-neck. It has officially been demoted to sweatshirt status but I don't even choose when I'm in comfy mode (big hint to get rid of it completely?) I posed to show its full glory:</p> <p><a href="http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/ryanfam5/ylf%20vneck%20challenge/IMG_0546.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i834.photobucket.com/al.....G_0546.jpg</a></p> <p>With a lot of help and inspiration from YLF, with a new YLFish v-neck, please comment and suggest away:</p> <p>1. basic look with pearls<br /> <a href="http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/ryanfam5/ylf%20vneck%20challenge/IMG_0559.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i834.photobucket.com/al.....G_0559.jpg</a></p> <p>2. moto over basic look<br /> <a href="http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/ryanfam5/ylf%20vneck%20challenge/IMG_0566.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i834.photobucket.com/al.....G_0566.jpg</a></p> <p>3. burnished moto with some new Kut for Kloth jeans I keep trying on, but can't decide on<br /> <a href="http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/ryanfam5/ylf%20vneck%20challenge/IMG_0570.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i834.photobucket.com/al.....G_0570.jpg</a></p> <p>4. back to basic look with scarf instead with some new NYDJ in grey. I LOVE their fit and their $7.50 price tag at Nord Rack (worn for two days now with no bagging) I know other don't like NYDJ name, but NYDJ seems to like my body shape!<br /> <a href="http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/ryanfam5/ylf%20vneck%20challenge/IMG_0567.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i834.photobucket.com/al.....G_0567.jpg</a></p> <p>5. This one is my tribute to my new button-down muse, queenie. Featuring my new, yet unworn, white button down. (Oh my gosh, I have never put so much effort into adjusting the layers, collars, cuffs. It was a workout! Effortless style?)<br /> <a href="http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/ryanfam5/ylf%20vneck%20challenge/IMG_0572.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i834.photobucket.com/al.....G_0572.jpg</a></p> <p>Bonus pics - in need of your input, if you would:</p> <p>6. Are these PPL for the flats I have on? They are also NYDJ (!), again NYDJ really seems to like my body shape. . .for $16 at the Nord Rack I had to give them a go.<br /> <a href="http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/ryanfam5/ylf%20vneck%20challenge/IMG_0563.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i834.photobucket.com/al.....G_0563.jpg</a></p> <p>7. I love these jeans/pants with their zipped ankles. They are definitely snug and I don't plan to wear them with my entire rump exposed. Heck, I don't even like my entire thigh exposed in knit pants, but I took liberties for the button-down pic. So with a tunic or short dress can I, at 51 years old, pull this off with grace? If you think so, then are these shoes okay? What other kinds of footwear would work?<br /> <a href="http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/ryanfam5/ylf%20vneck%20challenge/IMG_0574.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i834.photobucket.com/al.....G_0574.jpg</a></p> <p>Whew! Thanks for bearing with me and for any and all ideas/comments.<br /> Sara R. </p>
