So many lovely comments - thank you all! You do make my overstressed life a bit more bearable...<br /> Una, I don't recall reading this story. I loved Ray B. as a teenager , I should look up this one.<br /> Preppy Pear, I am excited to have a twin here on YLF: cannot wait to see you WIWs!<br /> Angie, I never thought I have capsules in my wardrobe. I liked the concept but was to lazy to start analyzing it. Now I feel like the main character from Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme of Moliere who was not aware that he was talking in prose all his life...:-) &lt;waving to my twin in BF jeans and a white shirt&gt;!<br /> Unfortunately next week is going to be crazier than this one and the next one even worse...ant it will continue this way well into October At least I have my closet to cheer me up on these stressful days...<br /> I will try to keep my WIW posts anyway. They keep me on my style toes and motivated to look my best. Just let me know when you are tired from them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break/page/2#post-702881 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 18:21:21 +0000 catgirl 702881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, I love 5 but 3 has me drooling. Did you ever read that Ray Bradbury short story about the vanilla ice cream suit that three male friends agree to buy and share, and how it works magic for each of them? Totally reminds me of the magic in that story! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break/page/2#post-702824 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 17:19:41 +0000 JR 702824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now this is the perfect illustration of why it pays to know what works for you. Even when you're too stressed out to care, you still come up with fabulous looks. You remain a great inspiration to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702762 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 15:51:17 +0000 Sona 702762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>loving them all and your BF look is brilliant. the semi tuck works fantastically! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702756 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 15:46:38 +0000 Angie 702756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always look fabulous, Sveta! And your small but fully functional wardrobe is very impressive. I hereby crown you Queen Capsule. You *totally* get the wadrobing concept. </p> <p>#4 and #5 are the stars here. KILLER by about a billion percent. </p> <p>(Pssst. I wore my husband jeans with a tucked in white shirt yesterday so we were twins:))</p> <p>Hope that next week is less crazy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702709 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 14:59:03 +0000 Anonymous 702709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I am stunned and amazed by your style continually! Every one of these outfits is so amazing. I love the all white and BF looks, but you rock them all. I wish I knew how you do it. The black and white graphics are so good on you, just look what they do for your complexion. *fanning* I really can't think of anything intelligent to say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702673 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 14:08:51 +0000 christy 702673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear things have been so crazy, but you'd never know it to look at you here! #3 &amp; #5 are absolutely showstoppers!! Seriously flat-out amazing. #1 is pretty amazing too, but all of these look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702669 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 14:01:43 +0000 lynn 702669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh! I love all the looks but you look like somebody really important/famous in #3! If I saw you on the street I would probably stalk you to see where you lived since you must be "somebody"! And you are!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702663 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 13:49:11 +0000 Nadya 702663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all of them. I love love love #3! I'm a sucker for jeans and a white shirt, anyway, and this version is perfect! I hope your work schedule calms down soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702657 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 13:33:03 +0000 Preppy Pear 702657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing! I love, love your style! I just checked out your blog, too.</p> <p>I also think we might be body shape twins - I think you are leaner than I am, but I think we have similar builds. </p> <p>Come to think of it, I also have a very similar face and haircut </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702638 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 12:43:00 +0000 Anonymous 702638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in love with number 1 and 3. You look incredible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702636 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 12:38:20 +0000 Anonymous 702636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, man, all great looks, but #3 is making me hyperventilate! Secret Agent Sveta!!! Love the coolness!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702605 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 11:39:37 +0000 Deborah 702605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta sorry to near work is so busy. But you look amazing and have presented once again a wonderful set of outfits. #1 is TDF. I am besotted with that blouse and this combination is gorgeous. </p> <p>The yellow and purple in 2 is lovely and fresh. 3 is stunning and I am not suprised at all you received compliments on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702601 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 11:27:32 +0000 Teresa 702601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, this week's wardrobe is so "effortlessly " chic. Picture #3 looks like a magazine photo shoot. This post is going into my favorites for later inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702582 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 08:27:15 +0000 Ornella 702582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was wondering what happened to you, I missed your posts. Every outfit is so different, yet so you, you are very creative.<br /> I love #1. Very office-y, in a fun and modern way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702550 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 04:57:04 +0000 Beth Ann 702550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glorious posts! Way to keep yourself going through crunch time. All are fab -- 4 is a terrific print with a crisp white polish to top it off, The boyfriend jeans -- with pearls, no less are setting a high standard for the rest of us. The suit? You are so Miami Vice --- and I mean that as a distinct compliment. There is something so easy and glam about this -- so modern and retro simultaneously. Now, where's the fancy sports car? (Oh,and I have the same issues with short tops. This one isn't a problem for my eye due to it's low contrast).</p> <p>Rock On, Sveta! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702544 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 04:08:14 +0000 Kate 702544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You so bowled me over with #3 I almost didn't keep going. Glad I did, because I also love #5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702537 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 03:48:11 +0000 MNsara 702537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll have to come back later to take it all in, but I was blown away by #3 and then to read that it actually elicited comments from IT Men -- WOW that says it all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702526 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 03:02:37 +0000 KathyL 702526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great jacket ... the fit is great, its machine washable and no ironing! Great find! I just got a pair of white trousers, so this is a great inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702513 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 02:46:51 +0000 Sveta 702513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KathyL, I saw some outfit pictures of white out outfits and was really intrigued. I got the trousers first and was looking for a jacket to make a "suit" look. This jacket is great: even though it says dry clean I machine washed it on delicate, use cold air in the dryer for 10 min and hang it to dry. I did not even have to iron it. I love this jacket!<br /> Suz, I posted the top form #1 once before here:<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ns-attempt</a><br /> I bought this shirt in Suzy Shear from all places! I really liked the bold and graphic look which is simple in the same time.<br /> Sarah, this belt is 6 years old and I got it in Winners. It is really cool and has metal studs and clear rhinestones on the off-white leather - and long enough for low slang BF jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702504 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 02:27:04 +0000 sarah 702504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know how you can come up with outfits like these when you're feeling overworked and exhausted. Seriously. They are GREAT. You are making me think I should dye some of my shoes light tan...hmmm...</p> <p>And where did you get that belt in the last pic? I've been searching all over for a belt like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702489 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 02:02:53 +0000 Suz 702489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, your work may be punishing you, but your outfits make you shine! #3 is SO glam!! Absolutely gorgeous. You really do look like a rock star! Love it with the shades. </p> <p>Your boyfriends are also your new BEST friend. They suit you down to the ground. I love the feminine touch of the necklace peeking out here with the otherwise masculine look. </p> <p>I really love #1, too. I don't know if I have seen that top, or if I have, not worn in this way. It looks terrific. As for the bright dress with the denim jacket, that is also perfection. You certainly know how to play in your closet!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702487 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 01:58:51 +0000 Diana 702487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all so fab, Sveta. I always love your BF looks, and I am jealous of your popped collars - I can never get mine to stay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702486 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 01:58:04 +0000 KathyL 702486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all these outfits, but I LOVE #3! I wasn't expecting to based on the description, white on white on silver sounded too much, but wow oh wow! You look so elegant and classy and rocking at the same time! Hope work gets better for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702482 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 01:51:09 +0000 Echo 702482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic outfits - I especially love #1 and #5. You look great, despite all the overtime! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702479 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 01:48:32 +0000 Sveta 702479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Girls, you are too kind! This is just the boost I need after another tough week! :-)<br /> Shannon, I will. You know how doubtful I was about BF jeans and afraid they are too casual and sloppy for my style but I was sold the moment I put then on. There is something really cool in combining them with more tailored pieces and so much fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702478 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 01:45:34 +0000 deb 702478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #3, You look great in all white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702475 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 01:42:01 +0000 Anonymous 702475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another week saved on my inspiration folder! You never cease to amaze me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702474 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 01:39:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 702474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We all need a break from time to time Sveta. Your work schedule sounds crazy - I hope that gets under control for you sooner rather than later!</p> <p>All of your outfits are fantastic (as usual) but #3 and #5 blow it out of the water for me. In #3 you look so incredibly chic. I love the tonal quality of the outfit - you look like you're heading off to some fantastic vacation in Cannes or Monaco. </p> <p>And I love the button down shirt and pearls with the BF jeans. And how perfect with those nude sandals! Please post lots of BF outfits - I'm looking for tons of inspiration.</p> <p>Nice to see you post again and please take care of yourself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---after-a-break#post-702471 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 01:35:45 +0000 Mona 702471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, #3 and 5 are so fab. love the white out look and semi tuck with BF's works wonderfully. I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for mentioning that. </p>
