The first outfit is just "Wow". Prior to YLF I wore this silhouette quite a bit and still do on occasion and I love it! You have just the right amount of edge, elegance, chic...I could go on:)</p> <p>And I love that Zara jacket! Poor frumpy lady was probably a little envious:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco/page/2#post-717950 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 06:32:32 +0000 goldenpig 717950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Edgy and elegant are the terms that jumped into my head. #1 is to die for. Pass the smelling salts for me and your dog! I wish I could be that cool! And I love your ALGO outfit. Ms. Stinkeye Frumpalicious was just angry she couldn't look as fab as you! A bunch of great outfits, Denise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717942 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 06:22:14 +0000 catgirl 717942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I started to post earlier but was rudely interrupted by family wanting dinner. Hmph. Anyway, I LOVE LOVE all of these looks, and your maximal one is my favorite! The overall lines caught my eye, then the patterns - I love the combination of more tailored cuts with max pattern. SO FAB! </p> <p>And you are coolness personified in the first set of photos. </p> <p>An all around inspiration, Denise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717925 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 05:54:35 +0000 CocoLion 717925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am elated to get so many loving and humorous responses!</p> <p>It sure was difficult to take WIWs in the big city. I am so spoiled here at our ranch where only four-legged creatures watch me posing in front of my little Canon.</p> <p>Thanks for all of the therapy re: elevator lady. I saw so many fab people in SF but especially this time I noticed the stylish men (of course). The (mostly gay) men in SF really make an effort. I wanted to walk up to them and tell them how much I admired their outfits!</p> <p>The best dressed people I saw were the ones working at stores, from H&amp;M and the Gap up to the expensive department stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717924 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 05:54:01 +0000 fashionista 717924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous weekend indeed!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717894 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 04:45:36 +0000 jayne 717894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, what great outfits. All of them are 'look twice' outfits but I love how you go from rocker chic to elegant lady between 1 and 2! You are so much fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717886 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 04:38:04 +0000 Scarlet 717886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a range of vibes in these outfits, all different, all gorgeous. Opera glamour look is so elegant, and those shoes are so sweet! (Hair is gorgeous too.) I think my heart goes out to the mix of muted tones that earned you disapproving looks in the elevator. That outfit suits you so well and just makes my heart go pitter patter. Great necklace collection. Gosh I am gushing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717826 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 02:46:44 +0000 Ariadne 717826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You look incredible. My absolute favourite is the "maximal" outfit that garnered the disapproving stare. I would have been staring, too--staring IN AWE and ENVY! I'd never have thought to pair those patterns and colors but it works so very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717772 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 01:53:38 +0000 Transcona Shannon 717772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Girl, you have got some AMAZING style!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717762 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 01:45:25 +0000 cjh 717762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific outfits. The black choices with the stunning necklace are so sophisticated. You are just glowing with style and confidence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717705 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 01:00:31 +0000 jen 717705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love your style </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717654 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 23:33:30 +0000 Caro in Oz 717654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing to add except wow to all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717621 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 22:48:07 +0000 Suz 717621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, you look stunning in each and every one of these. LOVE the new silhouette - plus the necklace. ADORE the opera finery; you look so sophisticated and glamorous in that. And I can't for the life of me understand what the elevator lady's problem was, because that outfit on the left is positively inspired! I also love the contrast between it and the simpler ones. More jealous than ever that the Only Mine sweater sold out before I pulled the trigger. Alas.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717603 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 22:32:31 +0000 rachylou 717603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohmigosh. You are so fab! I give up! </p> <p>#1 is to die for!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717596 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 22:24:31 +0000 Carole 717596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic outfits! #1 and 2 are absolutely stunning!!!! and love all the other casual outfits. Perfectly San Fransican! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717595 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 22:23:51 +0000 Anonymous 717595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goodness gracious! I love your new silhouette (avec le chien), your glamorous evening dress (!) and of course your casual looks are always sublime. The proportions in the first look are especially pleasing. Too funny about Ms. Snooty. She sound like the type that would say, "Well, I NEVER!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717588 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 22:20:32 +0000 rae 717588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, amazing travel capsule! The last pic with the blue sweater and necklace is especially cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717552 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 21:51:11 +0000 Anonymous 717552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray, a Denise outfit post!!!! </p> <p>Ms. Stinkeye was just a jealous jellybean. You are looking so utterly gorgeous, from your casual looks to your opera fanciness. Your dog even fainted from your fabulosity! I LOVE all of these!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717539 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 21:34:18 +0000 merwoman 717539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see in pic 1 that "somebody" has passed out - no doubt totally gob-smacked over the awesomeness of your outifit. Pic 2 - those shoulders, those shoes - you look elegant and edgy! Pic 3 I think I recognize those grey skinnies from a previous post - all looks are stunning - but your first casual has my heart. Love the way you have blended colours and textures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717536 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 21:30:32 +0000 Diana 717536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A whole slew of fantastic outfits, Denise! My favorite is the first one, it's just so cool! </p> <p>Your weekend sounds amazing. I did not get to go to SF this year (I often try to make a summer trip) and I miss it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717528 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 21:24:41 +0000 celia 717528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look radiant in all your outfits but my favorite one is by far the first one(the way you ended up styling it). It has a rock star appeal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717519 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 21:18:52 +0000 Vicki 717519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From casual to uptown, you've got it covered, Denise. I love that sheath dress with those stunning shoes and to think they're from the '90s. I really like the casual look that Ms. Frumpy seemed to disapprove of in the elevator. The colors are sensational.</p> <p>Sounds like a divine weekend and you looked the part! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717511 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 21:12:47 +0000 MsMary 717511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing! Your shoulders are so beautiful!</p> <p>And my favorite is the one that got the stinkeye from Ms. Elevator Frump. LOVE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717510 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 21:12:20 +0000 K. Period. 717510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, you look fantastic in all of these! Every one is awesome. So funny that you got a disapproving look for the grey outfit--it's the one that I love the most! It takes confidence to pull off maximal, and you do it so well. Fabulous look and fabulous confidence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717508 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 21:07:34 +0000 Makrame 717508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great outfits!</p> <p>Once again, I cannot believe that the jacket in #1 is not real leather. Looks great with the silk tunic.</p> <p>Love your opera dress, and the casual outfits (that blue sweater is great on you). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717506 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 21:05:44 +0000 annagybe 717506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE it all!

And since I stole her name for my YLF avatar, she wants some WIW action too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717503 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 21:03:02 +0000 DonnaF 717503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No doubt you were the best dressed person at Chinglish! I look forward to seeing it on the 6th. </p> <p>In between seeing bits &amp; pieces of the sumo wrestling exhibition on Saturday in Japantown, we stopped by the Kinokuniya bookstore. I have never seen so many fashion mags, esp. the kind that are close to $30/issue. Pretty amazing with all those heavy glossy photos. If you don't mind not being able to read most of the text, this is the place to stock up! I thought of you and Anna when I saw those many stacks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----a-long-weekend-in-san-francisco#post-717502 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 21:02:19 +0000 CocoLion 717502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit details:<br /> 1 -- Pleather jacket "Freedom 2 B" jr's brand from way back; silk tunic Vince, black legging jeans Hudson, v-neck cami from TJ Maxx; DV wedge desert booties from last year.</p> <p>2 -- Sheath dress Black Halo (got it for less at Revolve Clothing); shoes Manolo Blahnik from the late 90s; light coat Gary Graham via eBay.

I felt great in this but got stared at disapprovingly in the elevator by a (frumpy) woman my age. Jacket Zara, top Young Fabulous and Broke via Revolve, jeans TJ Maxx, scarf TJ Maxx. Center outfit -- same pants and jacket as #1, Gap Pure grey top. Right outfit -- NAS Only Mine zip back sweater in teal (thanks again Sarah!), H&amp;M slightly slouchy viscose track pants, Lucky Brand pendant, Me Too ballet flats.

And the outfits you built around them. </p>
