Really amazing. This being said, I would like you to pin that gray skirt up about two inches and see what you think. I think it would make a huge difference in the proportion. Give it a shot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one/page/2#post-748051 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 22:41:28 +0000 cjh 748051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Again, can't pick a fave. And I must keep looking - each outfit is a treat to the eye - keep up the good work at style under stress!

You are so masterful at putting things together. I hope the office stress will let up soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one/page/2#post-746746 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 20:52:48 +0000 CocoLion 746746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the mixture of grey with burgundy in #2. So on trend. Actually I think all three of them are very skillfully assembled, the pattern mixing between stripe and animal footwear is brilliant. So fashionable while office appropriate. The skirt outfit in #3 brings back memories of Italy and how Italian women dressed in the winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one/page/2#post-746741 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 20:41:59 +0000 Beth Ann 746741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are tackling your stressful weeks in great style, Sveta. I love the European glamour of #3 and the modern take in #1. #2? That's what I want to wear right now, spending the evening on my couch, in front of my imaginary fireplace! (IRL it's work and Walmart shopping for me!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one#post-746448 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 16:01:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 746448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know how you keep managing to look so fantastic given the hours you are working Sveta! You must be exhausted! I hope there is some relief for you mighty quick. Please take care of yourself as best you can, ok?</p> <p>That white with black striped blouse in outift #1 never ceases to look fantastic. I think that might be my favourite blouse of yours. And I love the colour and proportion combination of outfit #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one#post-746421 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:36:34 +0000 Sveta 746421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks you all very much for your kind comments, they mean a lot to me.<br /> Parsley, we did, didn't we? and channeling Angie too!<br /> I am really surprised that this over-sized chunky sweater works for me: I thought it would make me look huge! I guess the secret is to pair it with very slim trousers or jeans. I tried it with a pencil skirt but did not like it: I think it is too long for a skirt.<br /> Vildy, that is a very strong compliment - I often feel so big and ...well, chunky compared to models in the catalog and feel that I cannot really wear what they wear as well. Thank you for boosting my confidence!<br /> Dianthus, I cannot wait to see you sporting your chunky sweater!<br /> Angie, I guess it was not as much looking bad in trousers as had a difficulty to find good fitting ones to the point that I almost gave up on them. I do like my trousers now and actually drawn to them more than to dresses and skirts even though latter are much easier for me to fit. Maybe it is a challenge that draws me to them?<br /> Suz, I am going on a business trip again in the end of October and already plotting how I can get some shopping on my agenda. The problem is logistics: I fly out on Monday morning and go straight to the bank. No car as my hotel is just across the street from the bank. We work every day until 9 -10 PM so no shopping in the evening. Then I work in the bank on Friday until it is time to catch my flight in the afternoon. How can one squeeze any shopping into this schedule? I hope maybe I can order some stuff to the hotel but have never done it before and even don't know if it is possible. Also they can book hotel the very last minute so I may not have enough time for delivery... You know I feel like that proverbial fox with the grapes - so close but cannot reach...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one#post-746400 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:21:37 +0000 rachylou 746400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta is Queen Trousers.

I can't pick a favorite. You are such a style inspiration. Thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one#post-746390 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:15:40 +0000 Anonymous 746390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Sveta I'm so sorry about your horrible work week! How you managed to take any WIW photos at all, I'll never know. But you indeed look fabulous in your mysterious, model-like way. Your winter footwear is incredible. The striped blouse could *never* look like a sail. Your trousers (and grey pencil!) are tailored to perfection. Your diamond hose? *plonk* I run out of words. Seriously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one#post-746375 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:01:47 +0000 Angie 746375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We might have to call you Queen Trousers, Sveta. How does THAT grab you! Never say never :)</p> <p>#1 is KILLER. </p> <p>You are fably casual in #2!</p> <p>And very ladylike and retro in #3! </p> <p>Love it all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one#post-746322 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:25:29 +0000 Suz 746322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, you are a continual style inspiration! I am sorry work has been so brutal for you. And wow, I feel your pain about being in the US and being unable to shop! That is a separate level of hell. </p> <p>However, you look spectacular. The first outfit looks comfortable, fun, fresh, and crisp all at once. Brilliant! Love those horizontal stripes in the top. </p> <p>The second outfit is pure, glorious drama! </p> <p>And the third is yet another spectacular illustration of why we deserve many coats in Canada. </p> <p>Brava, beautiful Sveta! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one#post-746320 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:24:02 +0000 marianna 746320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sveta! I LOVE all three of these outfits and you don't look stressed at all. Truly fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one#post-746317 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:21:10 +0000 Jilly 746317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing! Not everyone an wear horizontal stripes as well as you do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one#post-746301 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:13:33 +0000 Jules 746301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all these outfits but especially the shirt collar under the chunky knit! Makes me want to run out and shop! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one#post-746286 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:00:51 +0000 Queen Mum 746286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm crazy about #2. LOVE it. You look great always, of course, but #2 is especially fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one#post-746284 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:59:35 +0000 texstyle 746284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta you look so amazing in all your outfits, it's always hard to choose a favorite. I think you look smashing in that skirt! I think #1 is great but I probably prefer #2 because of the attitude and it seems so YOU. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one#post-746259 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:41:14 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 746259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, you look as fabulous as always even if you are tired and stressed.</p> <p>I love the stripes and the wide legged trousers work beautifully on you. I have also been inspired by your second outfit. I have a similar sweater and almost donated it a few times. I am going to try to recreate your look 2 with it so thank you very much.</p> <p>I think #3 has huge potential but the proportions seem just a touch off without the jacket. With the jacket, it is fab. I'm wondering if a less fitted top that adds a bit of volume would balance the longer skirt better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one#post-746249 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:36:22 +0000 Lisa 746249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, busy lady! I really like #2, because the layering here is interesting and fun. Especially that cowlneckline, I adore cowlnecklines.

I hope work calms down for you soon.</p> <p>I especially like 2, the Martins look excellent with the booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one#post-746165 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 10:04:41 +0000 Vildy 746165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh wow look at you in that chunky knit. I can't believe how perfect that is. I never even think that the models pull it off but you, you're born to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one#post-746151 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 09:48:50 +0000 Kiwichik 746151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all 3 .

I envy your sartorial skills. All three looks are superb, but I especially admire the first two outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one#post-746065 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 04:28:42 +0000 Parsley 746065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sveta,<br /> Sounds like a grueling work schedule. I hope you'll get to rest up this weekend.<br /> In spite of being worn out, you look fab as can be in all three of these.</p> <p>Oh my gosh, you're right about #2 being really similar to my WIW from today! Great minds think alike, eh? ;-)</p> <p>I'm crazy for that red cape in outfit #3! You do bold, dramatic outfits better than anybody! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-short-week-which-feels-like-a-very-long-one#post-746036 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 03:36:28 +0000 Debbie 746036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of these looks.
