I'm always a fan of how you can do edgy with a little bit of soft still in there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1247232 Fri, 09 May 2014 22:35:47 +0000 annagybe 1247232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack!

Both outfits look fabulous!! As always I adore seeing that Zara black leather jacket (I let that one get away, boo). Like Angie I like seeing the silk paired with it to soften the look up. The second outfit is both arty and rock-n-roll to me. I think you're set for trendy with those sandals, as long as ankle straps or wide foot straps stick around (probably a good while). Love the contrast of&nbsp;the rigid, structured sandals&nbsp;against the very soft materials and layering above. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245873 Thu, 08 May 2014 19:34:38 +0000 Suz 1245873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am nodding along to Rae's comment. I'm always amazed by the great stuff you source at UO. Whenever I go there I see baby doll sheer tops or teeny cutoffs!&nbsp;</p> <p>Love both these outfits. The Zara sweatshirt is so flattering on you. It works beautifully to soften the hard edge just enough.&nbsp;</p> <p>And the UO outfit (with those amazing -- and yes-- still current -- sandals) is just genius. Looks like a fantastic hang out in the house outfit, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Laughing at your "Lumosity" bag comment. I hear you. Women of a certain (brain) age unite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245815 Thu, 08 May 2014 18:43:42 +0000 E 1245815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Gorgeous and edgy all at once! You look so cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245806 Thu, 08 May 2014 18:38:29 +0000 Parsley 1245806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that Zara sweatshirt on you, Denise! That first outfit is urban cool with just enough edge.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree that the second one looks very New York artsy more than rock and roll, and I love it on you!</p> <p>2 super looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245796 Thu, 08 May 2014 18:30:18 +0000 Kiwichik 1245796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise - I don't think you gave to worry about pushing the age appropriate barrier as you innate sense of style has no age boundary - you always look current and just plain fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245656 Thu, 08 May 2014 15:50:42 +0000 rae 1245656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! Especially 3 - so Elizabeth and James. You also manage to find the best things at UO. I was in there with the sister this weekend, and I already felt really old in the midst of all the "cheeky" cutoff shorts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245582 Thu, 08 May 2014 14:48:46 +0000 Angie 1245582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are killer. High five, Mr. Denise.&nbsp;</p> <p>The first outfit is more hard edge than I'm used to seeing you wear - more because of the moto and bag than anything else.&nbsp;But the front patterned panel on the silk sweatshirt&nbsp;does a lot to soften the look to my eye. TOTALLY age-appropraie and you're rocking it, Queen Farm Fashionista. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245565 Thu, 08 May 2014 14:32:25 +0000 kellygirl 1245565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are terrific! You look edgy and age appropriate! I especially love the harem pant outfit. Those are amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245554 Thu, 08 May 2014 14:24:55 +0000 Beth Ann 1245554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely a "grown-up" edge.&nbsp; I love the animal "print" --- what an interesting piece, and the overall effect is fashion forward, but still approachable and flattering.&nbsp; </p> <p>Great bag, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245519 Thu, 08 May 2014 13:49:03 +0000 rachylou 1245519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too cool for skool!</p> <p>And thx for the UO tip. I like Staring At Stars stuff from them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245506 Thu, 08 May 2014 13:43:17 +0000 jackiec 1245506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both outfits! I can see why the lady complimented you - you look casual, cool, and approachable!!! You do all silhouettes perfectly. Loving the harem pants look with those sandals too - wow </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245501 Thu, 08 May 2014 13:37:52 +0000 merwoman 1245501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise - always age appropriate, always stunning, always confident!<br />You wear everything with panache. Look at the longevity of that leopard topper - so 2014! Gorgeous colours on you &nbsp;- you sholud wear more often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245498 Thu, 08 May 2014 13:36:44 +0000 Elizabeth P 1245498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous outfits Denise!&nbsp; I don't think you ever need to worry about age appropriateness, you look so stylish and put together, that doesn't even enter the equation.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245491 Thu, 08 May 2014 13:28:31 +0000 Janet 1245491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1. I can't imagine what would be deemed not flattering about that top on you -- it looks great. You have age-appropriate edgy yet approachable rocker style absolutely nailed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245482 Thu, 08 May 2014 13:22:19 +0000 pil 1245482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Deborah and that sweatshirt looks great on you. The colors are so nice with your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245429 Thu, 08 May 2014 12:00:51 +0000 Jaime 1245429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits but the third one is my favorite - I am still loving harems after all this time :-)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245411 Thu, 08 May 2014 11:10:45 +0000 Deborah 1245411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfits. Denise I have never seen you wear anything that you didn't totally "own". You have such a good eye and I don't think age appropriate is ever a concern. Loving the UO harem leggings on you...glad you got them. I love mine so much ad at that price thinking I might just order a second pair. Can I ask what size you bought? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245404 Thu, 08 May 2014 10:42:57 +0000 kkards 1245404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great bag. love both the outfits. the leopard is fun and dresses up and down. and the rock and roll outfit definitely rocks. i think those shoes are still totally on trend, and the harem pants are just fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245384 Thu, 08 May 2014 09:17:51 +0000 Greyscale 1245384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! When you said leopard in your post I was not picturing an actual leopard. I love it. The bag is such a great find, too.</p> <p>(And I've never seen you post anything that wasn't fabulous and age-appropriate, but I know it can be stressful to think about.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245383 Thu, 08 May 2014 09:15:28 +0000 Caro in Oz 1245383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bag is terrific &amp;&nbsp;I LOVE #3 -&nbsp;the shape of the top &amp; the multiple-strap sandals make it very current. I think you know exactly where the proverbial fine-line is CL No reason to worry&nbsp;imo, &nbsp;think&nbsp;it's about knowing what works for YOU at any age </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245374 Thu, 08 May 2014 08:47:57 +0000 Anonymous 1245374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! I agree with the lady in Costco, you look good in that sweatshirt. It's a little like a scarf print too I think. The colours echo the shades of your hair nicely and I like the topper and bag you chose to complete the outfit. #3 is cool and dramatically edgy. It's a great silhouette. Good layering too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---age-appropriate-hard-edge#post-1245366 Thu, 08 May 2014 07:51:46 +0000 CocoLion 1245366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm continuing to love Spring because I can still wear pants, but with sandals if I feel like it. &nbsp;</p> <p>These outfits look rather hard edge to me with all of the black. &nbsp;But still I felt age appropriate so, happy with the results. &nbsp;Yes I still worry about that, not wanting to be the fool but wanting to push the envelope a little too. &nbsp;It's a fine line, isn't it.</p> <p>1-2 The silky sweatshirt that Angie blogged about recently. &nbsp;Angie picked this top in 2012 from Zara and I jumped on it. &nbsp;Haven't worn it much because I fear it's not too flattering but I got a compliment from a woman standing in line at the Costco food court ($1.65 sundae). &nbsp;She said people who wear leopard have a lot of confidence. &nbsp;I told her, it was only in some areas of my life where I felt confident!</p> <p>The sweatshirt is worn with: &nbsp;Rag &amp; Bone skinnies in Kensington wash, Vic Italy booties, Zara leather jacket also 2012, and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.shopbop.com/donna-hobo-alexander-wang/vp/v=1/1537291271.htm?folderID=2534374302082571&amp;fm=other-shopbysize-viewall&amp;colorId=12867">Alexander Wang-esque bag</a> from UO. &nbsp;I got it in their SF store, it's made from re-cycled leather and has so many pockets that I call it my Lumosity bag.&nbsp;</p> <p>3. &nbsp; This was a WIMW a few weeks ago, and this time I actually wore it to an open mic night. &nbsp;It's fast to put together and my boyfriend thought it looked rock and roll. &nbsp;I thought, more art gallery opening in NYC due to the lack of leather, but I'll take it.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=31263627&amp;color=001&amp;parentid=SEARCH%20RESULTS">UO knit harem pants</a> worn with: &nbsp;UO sweater, Raquel Allegra tee, Steven sandals from 2010. &nbsp;I think they still look current. &nbsp;If you are interested in the UO harems, they are very cheap now. &nbsp;Regarding the negative review, if you size up there is no discomfort at all in the waistband.</p> <p>TFLAC =&nbsp;Thanks For Looking and Commenting! </p> <p>(sounds like =&nbsp;AFLAC which US YLFers will know)</p>
