I think you and I have a very similar aesthetic. If I were younger and thinner, we'd be style twins! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style/page/2#post-855551 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:12:12 +0000 Anonymous 855551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't read the comments, but I LOVE this and I think you've nailed your aspirational style exactly!! How did you feel in this? Also I love a black cami under a sheer light blouse. Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style/page/2#post-855535 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:05:07 +0000 sarah 855535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I meant "grinning", not "whiskering" : ( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854714 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 19:38:30 +0000 Ajoanna 854714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely adore this look on you! You look quite edgy, and the jacket looks fantastic whether open or closed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854707 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 19:33:18 +0000 Aziraphale 854707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are right on target! I like everything about that look -- coat open or closed, crossbody strap or bag in hand. </p> <p>I also prefer the dark tank under the sheer top, as I feel it looks more edgy (to trot out a waaaay overused word, but I think that's what you're after, right?) and also more intentional.</p> <p>Keep 'em coming! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854705 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 19:32:29 +0000 Anonymous 854705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's Rudsak -- I have been madly coveting them for years, and now I have seen them "in person" I am even more in love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854703 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 19:31:38 +0000 ironkurtin 854703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE!</p> <p>You have great style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854700 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 19:30:03 +0000 rachylou 854700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your sheer top over dark tank, esp. since your jeans are dark. I am very jealous of your raincoat.</p> <p>I have to tell you, to me #3 was the least *edgy* pose. But it occurs to me it was what I'd call the most RATE one... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854645 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 18:27:32 +0000 Astrid 854645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your jacket too! It's perfect for you.

I've missed your background posts, but whatever you are doing, it's working. And your jacket is AMAZING - I am in total envy here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854634 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 18:20:55 +0000 Raisin 854634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to hear the dark cami works well! Merwoman, I laughed at your comment, that "stare" was just a result of my son not waiting for me to be camera ready! Lol!</p> <p>Great suggestions.....I do wish to get some mid calf or lower moto boots. I think those would go well. I also have a nice leather jacket, it's not moto style, but it has zips and stuff. It's just not quite the weather for it yet.....as it turns out by the time we went out it was cold and snowing, so my black jacket went on instead. I am hoping to post the jacket soon to see if it can pass for "moto" or I need to get one as well. Also, Ceit, I do want to get some light layers like you say. Need to find some. For those that asked, the jacket is Rudsak.....a few seasons old....yes, I think all my jackets are from there, haha, well 4 anyway.</p> <p>Yah Suz, what IS my problem anyway? Haha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854613 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:54:57 +0000 Thistle 854613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! I like the way everything drapes, and the soft but minimal color scheme with a hint of edgy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854606 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:50:50 +0000 Anonymous 854606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have it nailed too -- I think perhaps for indoors you need some cool light long toppers so even without a coat you have that completer piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854604 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:47:03 +0000 merwoman 854604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning Raisin! Love the 'don't mess with me" look in your eyes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854544 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:55:12 +0000 Charmian 854544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like how the <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/07/05/the-grinning-garment/">grinning cami</a> creates a long leg line, but your idea of trying a nude cami to reduce the number of visible layers is also great for a minimalist like yourself.</p> <p>This is a GREAT outfit! I like your idea of leather leggings to add a bit of toughness, too. Please post those pics when they arrive!</p> <p>Lastly, if you're looking for other ideas to add toughness -- what about a cuff or biker-style boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854535 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:47:43 +0000 Tina.b 854535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is very much in the direction of your style goals. You look fantastic. Love the subtle touches here, the studs on the blouse and the asymmetry of the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854518 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:32:12 +0000 Suz 854518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic, and absolutely in key with your aspirational style. </p> <p>So, What is your problem, lady??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854491 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:03:11 +0000 Angie 854491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pic #4 is just as fab as pic #3 :)</p> <p>You have it nailed and look KILLER in this outfit. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854488 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:01:37 +0000 deb 854488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, this looks wonderful!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854460 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:42:30 +0000 Desmo April 854460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look and I think I would prefer the dark cami over a nude one. I tend to match the tone of the cami to my pants.</p> <p>If this is too cold I also think you could wear a long-sleeve, black T-shirt with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854426 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:07:18 +0000 Adelfa 854426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the pics. Very clean and elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854424 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:02:55 +0000 Sara L. 854424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all these pieces together. The top looks great and the raincoat has great style too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854423 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:01:47 +0000 Elizabeth P 854423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! Your coat is amazing, and I agree that the dark cami is the way to go - I'd actually like to see what it looks like with black, to match your pants. </p> <p>Where do you live? I'm in Halifax. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854409 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:49:30 +0000 Anonymous 854409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a really beautiful look, and my goodness, I LOVE that jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854408 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:48:58 +0000 sarah 854408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it - in fact, I think the cami works because it creates a long column with the pants (no "whiskering"). What a cool coat. May I ask the brand? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854374 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:26:21 +0000 Transcona Shannon 854374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit has both elements of softness and edgy - a perfect mix in my books! And I'm crushing on your jacket - I love the details. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854373 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:26:04 +0000 Raisin 854373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, Parsley! I had to chime back in to say that yes, sometimes I wear a sweater or cardi over my arms in the house, but we keep it cool. I'm laughing because I considered today to be warm (it's about 2 degrees C out right now). That's the strange thing about Canadian weather. At these transitional times of year people get all confused and you see all manner of wear. I often wear shorter sleeves or lighter tops when I go out because with a jacket or a heavy winter coat over them I get really hot in the mall or the grocery store or where ever I am. If I know I will have my coat off most of the time they I would usually go for longer sleeves. There's a lot to consider with the wacky Canadian weather, because it can be cold, hot and warm all at the same time!</p> <p>Thanks for the other replies too, I am glad to see I am getting close to my aspirational style. You all really like the dark cami under? I find it annoys my eye when I look at the pics, like it's off.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854369 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:21:32 +0000 Sarah A 854369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the asymmetrical coat and studded top! The visible cami is more interesting to me than a nude. I would even go black. But then I like the black bra + sheer white top look (I have got to figure out how to pull it off yet though...) LOVE this outfit and find it resonates very closely with your pins! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---day-1-trying-my-style#post-854366 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:12:01 +0000 Parsley 854366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit looks beautiful on you, and seems to be right on target with your style aspirations.</p> <p>My only question, though, is- aren't you cold in just a little sheer top in February in Canada? This outfit looks perfect for spring, but personally I would freeze in that this time of year. </p>
