Anyway, how could a Frog not forgive a Kiwi who wears a Breton top??? And does it with such chic, too!</p> <p>But more importantly, you gave us all some style inspiration (which IS why we come here, huh?), and it reminded me that when Coco Chanel first copied the sailors she saw in Brittany, she paired HER Breton top with wide-legged pants.</p> <p>Nina Garcia once wrote: "Coco Chanel first elevated the humble striped Breton top to style status. In the 1930s she designed and wore a striped marinière with palazzo pants – a look adopted from French sailors. Since then many designers and style- setters have followed suit." Guess that makes you a style-setter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672745 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 09:07:36 +0000 krishnidoux 672745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute. Your blue bracelet in pic 1 brings it all together beautifully. It is a flattering, classic silhouette that suits you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672740 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 08:34:20 +0000 Kiwichik 672740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gee ladies I'm really feeling the love thank you very much</p> <p>@La Francaise- Vive LA Francaise - sorry if I made a whoopsy (knowledge of French = zero) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672701 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 04:34:33 +0000 Beth Ann 672701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so ready for wider, easier, softer pants! And Rae is right -- you're marking the start of a trend (or the return of one at least). Lot the combination, and good for you for taking the time to make the length right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672639 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 03:09:32 +0000 Deborah 672639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kiwichik you look stunning. That top is such a winner on you. Love the blue. This creates a beautiful silhouette. Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672636 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 03:07:00 +0000 ManidipaM 672636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WELL done, that woman! Kiwichik, this is perfect! Love the sailor vibe and absolutely charmed by the pattern mixing of the scarf and top in similar colours. That is just... inspired! I'm absolutely head over heels for both pieces (my kinda style!), and them together just blows my mind. ::doing a little happy dance for you:: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672541 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 01:09:04 +0000 Aida 672541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BEAUtiful pants, the length is perfect and they look amazing with the pointy heels. I really like the moodier nautical top with this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672413 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 23:26:41 +0000 Angie 672413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672408 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 23:24:11 +0000 missvee 672408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice proportions here - the pants look great but don't overwhelm you. I love stripes too, so simple and graphic. You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672340 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 22:11:45 +0000 Anonymous 672340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kiwichik, You really DO Look Fab!!! Absolutely, LOVE your outfit! But, my husband's laughing at me right now, cos of your 'Vive LE Francais', for which he asked me to say 'Merci'. Can I have a 'Vive LA Francaise'?? Cos, I'm feeling left out in the cold here!

I too enjoy the blue striped shirt instead of the classic white shirt. I think it would be a fun change to swap out the blue bracelet for one that is white or colorful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672171 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 19:32:15 +0000 Kiwichik 672171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae - fashion forward hmmm that would be a first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672168 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 19:30:20 +0000 Kiwichik 672168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies I have a bit of a srtipe fixation (3 striped tops in various colours) and I 'm very pleased with my new purchase. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672166 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 19:29:01 +0000 rae 672166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, LOVE this with the ink/black top instead of the usual white stripes! You are so fashion forward with those baggy pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672165 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 19:28:36 +0000 Jilly 672165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cobalt blue and black striped top. The whole silhouette works, and the colors are so flattering </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672160 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 19:25:11 +0000 JR 672160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I just love that top! And it looks really good on you with those pants. :o) But then, I love the nautical striped tops and am always happy to see them come back into style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672152 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 19:19:18 +0000 Meredith1953 672152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE this on you! That striped top is out of this world on you and I think the sailor pants look great! "Pearlicous"....that is another one for the YLF lexicon! Right up there with Claire's "sleeve-ectomy"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672145 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 19:09:28 +0000 Victoria 672145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is great look on you! Love the wide leg pants and vibrant top color, its just right. Actually, I like your outfit much better than inspiration photo which is a bit too "sailorish" to me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672129 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:54:37 +0000 Anonymous 672129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a great look on you! What did you have added to the hems, cuffs? They are drape-y and dramatic on you. Now you just need to add some white buttons to the waist....or maybe cobalt ones! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672124 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:50:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 672124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this works brilliantly Kiwi! That cobalt colour is gorgeous on you and the fit of the top is perfect. Personally, I love the wide trousers on you and the length looks good. I love the peek-a-boo bracelet from under the sleeve of your jacket in #2 and how it picks up the colours in the scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hello-sailor-or-vive-le-francais#post-672118 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:47:16 +0000 Kiwichik 672118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ladies - back at work on Wednesday and here's what I wore. I took my new David Lawrence cobalt /ink striped top for it's first spin. Doesn't show well in the photo but there are tiny pleats at the should which create a slight puffed effect and help add some width to my shoulders balancing out my pearlicious hips. I'm also wearing my pallazo pants which didn't get much love last time I wore them.I love the overlapping buttons and the high waist. I had a false hem added to make them slightly longer which I think looks a lot better. Last photo is my inspiration shot. </p>
