They are much appreciated. I'm so glad I can inspire others, because this site has definitely been an inspiration for me as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/violet-outfits-week-of-101308#post-31390 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 23:01:00 +0000 Anonymous 31390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're so beautiful. Thanks for posting the direct links. I also LOVE your use of scarves. You have influenced me to collect nice scarves. I am not much for wearing jewelry but I really enjoy my winter scarves and why not have some lighter weight ones for style!?<br /> You look great in lavendar and in brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/violet-outfits-week-of-101308#post-31381 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 20:57:43 +0000 Angie 31381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! We get to see your lovely face, Violet. You are an exotic beauty who sports lavender wonderfully.</p> <p>Fab use of scarves. A great look for you – it really draws the eye down. I prefer you in long chunky scarves and shorter skirts though. The last outfit is HOT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/violet-outfits-week-of-101308#post-31374 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:35:44 +0000 Antje 31374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Violet, you are so pretty! And these are great outfits. Love your scarves and especially that whole last outfit. Yes, the skirt in the first picture is too long. Everything else works well. Hope we'll see more of your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/violet-outfits-week-of-101308#post-31373 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:34:17 +0000 Violet 31373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San - not sure why the password did not work.

Maybe you can find them online in your size! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/violet-outfits-week-of-101308#post-31367 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:11:46 +0000 purpleorchid 31367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG - I love your new shoes. I wish there was a Target where I live. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/violet-outfits-week-of-101308#post-31366 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:10:21 +0000 purpleorchid 31366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great. I would shorten the skirt to around your knee. I love your last outfit the best.<br /> Voilet, as your name states - Voilet is the colour for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/violet-outfits-week-of-101308#post-31358 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 18:19:11 +0000 Anonymous 31358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Darn I keep getting the message that the password is incorrect. However I did see the picture of the new shoes and I love them! I am using a purse that color for winter and so far it is going well with almost everything.<br /> What a bummer that you lost your keys and had such a horrible end of work day experience. I bought a wristlet keyholder at Home Depot just for that reason. You can find them where they make keys. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/violet-outfits-week-of-101308#post-31336 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 16:55:36 +0000 Amanda 31336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Violet, I agree with everyone else. I think that the purple looks really good on you so if that sweater needs to go, definitely look for one in a similar shade. I also really like the way you use the patterned scarves as an accessory. Love the denim skirt/boots outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/violet-outfits-week-of-101308#post-31334 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 16:50:29 +0000 Violet 31334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback! I'm going to see if I can get the black skirt shortened. I have been really into scarves lately. For me, it's an easy way to accessorize an outfit.</p> <p>Tanya - thanks for the suggestion about the shoes with that skirt. Now that you mention it, I think another type of shoe would work better.</p> <p>Dani - Thanks, I love the color of the purple sweater too. I realize I don't have too much purple in my wardrobe, but I think I would like to add more.</p> <p>Becky - Thanks for the feedback. Also, I use Violet as my online name. My real name is somewhat unusual so I don't use that all the time on public forums. If I ever have kids, I think that is one of the names that would be on my list. :)</p> <p>Shell - Thanks! So glad I can be an inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/violet-outfits-week-of-101308#post-31331 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 16:46:40 +0000 shell 31331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>violet, you are too cute! i agree w/ dani that it adds to the whole ensemble.</p> <p>i love the leopard print scarf! you have a fabulous shoe collection, including the new pair with quite the backstory! i'm not 100% in love w/ the shoes from the first outfit - they look more like evening shoes. </p> <p>anyway, fabulous outfits, violet! i always love seeing your combinations b/c your style seems somewhat similar to mine. always very inspiring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/violet-outfits-week-of-101308#post-31321 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 15:33:05 +0000 Becky 31321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful, Violet. I love the way you use patterned scarves to add interest to a solid top. I concur with Tanya that the first skirt would be more flattering shortened to knee length. I agree with your analysis of the patterned top; it would work better with slimmer-fitting pants. Love the shoes you got. BTW, I love your name. Violet was in the top three girls' names on our list when we named our older daughter, but we ended up choosing another botanical name instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/violet-outfits-week-of-101308#post-31320 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 15:30:22 +0000 Dani 31320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Violet, thanks for posting pics. It's nice to see your face, it really does add to the outfit! </p> <p>I like the denim skirt outfit best. Those boots are great! </p> <p>I think the skirt in the first picture needs to be shortened to knee length. I love the puple sweater on you, it's a very nice color.</p> <p>Sorry to hear about you losing your keys in Target. I panic enough when I've lost them in the house, I can't imagine how I'd feel if I lost them in a store! Glad it all worked out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/violet-outfits-week-of-101308#post-31318 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 15:22:46 +0000 Tanya 31318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Violet, I like you style, especially the great use of scarves. I think that the skirt in the first outfit is a bit too long, i'd shorten it somewhere around the knee length. And also those shoes might be a bit too light for that outfit. I like all the other outfits, especially the last one with denim skirt and boots. And your new shoes are very cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/violet-outfits-week-of-101308#post-31303 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 14:38:09 +0000 Violet 31303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So it's Monday morning again, but checking in at YLF is helping make things easier. Here are some of my outfits from last week. I decided to post the whole album. I took the pictures at the end of the day, so if I look tired that is why.</p> <p><a href="http://s383.photobucket.com/albums/oo273/Violet_Pix/Outfit%20of%20the%20Day%20Oct/Outfits%20Week%20of%2010-13-08/" rel="nofollow">http://s383.photobucket.com/al.....010-13-08/</a></p> <p>P/W: ylf_pix</p> <p>I title my pictures with "OOTD" which stands for "outfit of the day" in case anyone is wondering. Any feedback/comments are welcome. Thanks!</p> <p>Monday 10/13/08<br /> I have had this outfit for several years. I think I need to get rid of the sweater, b/c in person it is looking a bit old and faded. The skirt is still in good shape, but what do you think about the length? Yay or nay?</p> <p>Sweater: The Limited<br /> Skirt: The Limited<br /> Scarf: The Limted<br /> Shoes: Target</p> <p>Tuesday 10/14/08<br /> Not sure about this shirt. I think it may look better with pants that have a more narrow leg opening?</p> <p>Black cami: Gap<br /> Shirt: The Limited<br /> Pants: Body by Victoria Christie Fit<br /> Shoes: Red pumps (Enzo Angiolini)</p> <p>Wednesday 10-15-08<br /> Sorry the picture quality of the first pic is bad, I took a another close up of the scarf and shirt.</p> <p>Shirt: Ann Taylor Loft<br /> Pants: Express Editor<br /> Shoes: Black patent pumps (Kelly &#38; Katie)<br /> Scarf: Charlotte Russe</p> <p>Thursday 10/16/08<br /> Ugh, this was a bad day. I left work a little early to stop at Target. I had a return and wanted to check out their shoes. I picked out new pair of shoes pretty quickly and went to customer service for the return. While I'm there, I start looking for my keys and I cannot find them anywhere. I literally dumped the contents of my purse on the counter and still could not find them. The associate at the return desk was very nice and she walked with me through the store to re-trace my steps. I was only a couple of places on the store but I could not find the keys anywhere. </p> <p>I walked back and forth several times, to no avail, and at this point I started panicking. I carpool with my husband and he was basically stranded at work without me. Of course that was the one day he had left his keys at home. I could have sworn I brough the keys into the store with me, but then I started thinking that I had locked them on the car. I was walking back and forth through Target and the parking lot crying and so angry with myself. I called my mom and she was really sweet and offered to come pick me up. My husband was also checking with his boss to see if he could use a company car to drive back home and get his keys.</p> <p>Finally I was talking to my husband again, telling him my mom was on her way to pick me up and I remembered that ther was one place in the clothing section I had stopped. In all my hysteria, I forgot I had walked through that section. Thankfully, I found my keys on a shelf over there. I was so relieved!</p> <p>Shirt: Gap<br /> Skirt: Ann Taylor<br /> Scarf: Macys<br /> Shoes: Diba Chatterbox (from DSW)</p> <p>After all that trouble, here are the shoes I got. :)<br /> <a href="http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo273/Violet_Pix/Shoes/IMG00730.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i383.photobucket.com/al.....G00730.jpg</a> </p>
