You do know how to make a girl fell better after two weeks of overwork! :-)<br /> Shannon, I also tried on your famous green dress - well, the blue version of it as the green is petite only and it looked hideous on me while you really rock it. It shows that it is actually good that different brands have different fits so we all can find something well fitting to wear.<br /> Krista, ha-ha - I am too ...well curvy and big for modeling - at least 3-4 sizes too big Anyway I am OK to do all my modeling here on YLF - one cannot ask for a better audience! :-)<br /> Kate, you are welcome. I love my oxfords for their comfort and edgy look even if they may be not the most flattering shoes. At first I was afraid that my big feet will look enormous in them but I don't care anymore :-)<br /> Jonesy, are you back from your vacation - I missed you! Well, you are right to call it rotten work and I don't keep my hopes high for any bonuses as it is several departments which have to work overtime... It ended up a bit too hot for that sweater on Friday and I should leave it or later when the weather cools down a bit... but I love my BF jeans and thanks for assuring me that they are worth buying. Have you worn your Madewell jeans yet?<br /> Una, I wonder if my co-workers thought the same thing about the outfit #1...but I don't care! And yes, I am the convert now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt/page/2#post-685083 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 21:07:00 +0000 catgirl 685083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another BF convert! I love it! And the first outfit was so stunning I had to wonder whether you were off to some incredibly elegant event. You look like a model! Love the skirts too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt/page/2#post-685076 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 20:58:16 +0000 Kate 685076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all great, but #3, 4 &amp; 5 blew me away. Love the dress; love that striped blouse and the boyfriend look is stellar from top to bottom. Gorgeous sweater; it's so becoming on you. I smile every time I see those white and yellow oxfords, because it was those oxfords and how stylish you looked every time you wore them that encouraged me to buy a pair of oxfords. I finally did just before we went on vacation in late May, and I wore them everywhere and loved them. I recently bought my second pair (the cream colored Joely oxfords by Born) and am loving those too. Thanks Sveta! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt/page/2#post-685026 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 19:58:02 +0000 Jonesy 685026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, your work schedule sounds really rotten!! Man. I hope you're going to get a nice Xmas bonus or something :)!</p> <p>You had another fab style week! I love the white suit and the midi skirt outfit (agree that it would be great to find another pair of cute flats, but I saw firsthand with you that they are tough to find!). The new Cleo dress looks gorgeous on you, as does the new striped blouse (perfection with the white pants--LOVE the volume over volume), and the new Madewell sweater. It was made to go with your BF jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt/page/2#post-684941 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 17:22:10 +0000 Krista 684941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta,<br /> These outfits are sensational. I mean it - you knock it out of the park for every single one. </p> <p>Also, I'm just wondering if you've ever done any modelling? You could, you know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt/page/2#post-684914 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 15:56:41 +0000 Transcona Shannon 684914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goodness gracious me Sveta! I couldn't even begin to pick a favourite here. You look fab in every single outfit. I gasped out loud when I saw #4 - so chic and beautiful. And girl....you have got the BF look perfect in that outfit - love the sweater and belt with it. You totally slay me with your style Sveta!</p> <p>And I accept full responsibility for your Cleo dress! I admit that at times their dresses fit strangely but other ones fit great. This dress was worth altering though Sveta - looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt/page/2#post-684905 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 15:35:25 +0000 merwoman 684905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Steller Sveta- love your style! Hope the extra workload ends soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684896 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 15:09:31 +0000 Sveta 684896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aye-aye, Captain Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684892 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 15:04:52 +0000 Angie 684892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big Bossy Angie thinks that if the quality of the very inexpensive striped shirt lasts for just one season - it was worth the fun of wearing it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684885 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 14:59:32 +0000 Sveta 684885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, high five on the flats! Bossy Angie is right as usual... I only wish I had a better pair of ballet flats now: these teal ones look worn already and I don't like how they fit my wider feet. I have really hard time finding ballet flats for myself!<br /> Suz, nice to have you back! Get a tripod, it makes picture taking so much easier. Even though my hubby does not mind taking pictures I find that I feel much more relaxed when I am doing it myself. As for Cleo: I am an hourglass with pearish tendencies but small bust and a narrow rib cage. I almost always need to have sheath dresses altered on top if they are to fit my bottom but never as much as this one: I swear at least 2 full sizes on top. Lucky Shannon to find her go-to dress store - alas it does not work for me :-(<br /> &lt;waving to Kim&gt; it is so nice to have you out of a lurkdom!:-)<br /> Angie, it was inspired by you as usual As for the blouse it is not too bad in quality - sheer chiffon-like polyester fabric which drapes pretty well. However it is not at par with the NAS blouse fabric but it also half the price. It also required a cami but I really like the style and graphic feel of it so it does have a room in my wardrobe now. I also like that I can button the collar all way up and it does not suffocate me (they often do) and it stays up well. All in all I think I am going to have fun with this one!<br /> JR, polka dots are fun as well as the stripes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684884 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 14:58:54 +0000 sarah 684884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Sveta, you certainly don't look as though your are overworked and overtired. Good grief. I am going to have to pronounce you Queen of the Boyfriends. You certainly know how to put these looks together. And I LOVE #4 and the others, of course.</p> <p>GREAT week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684871 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 14:30:25 +0000 JR 684871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the length of the midi was just fine. You look great!</p> <p>And I agree with the comments on the last outfit. It's wonderful.</p> <p>Man, you guys are going to convert me to polka dots yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684870 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 14:29:47 +0000 Angie 684870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER week! You have great fashion flair, Sveta. I mean that with all my heart. </p> <p>Is the shirt in #4 not up to your quality standard, and the reason you don't shop at that particular store? While we cannot judge the quality of an item from a photo - that's my favourite outfit!! So simple, unfussy and strong. My best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684848 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 13:50:52 +0000 Queen Mum 684848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you never disappoint Sveta! Every one of these is great, and what I love most about your style is that you consistently wear a variety of silhouettes keeping things fresh and interesting every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684846 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 13:46:21 +0000 Suz 684846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I LOVE that bf jeans outfit. You look fun, fresh, spunky, modern. And that sweater will take you (layered) into early fall. Great purchases! </p> <p>I also love every single other outfit here. The black and white outfits are so crisp and striking, and it makes my heart happy that you've been wearing the heck out of those white pants that you laboured to find for so long! When you buy something, you really get your use from it. </p> <p>It also reminds me of the value of a weekly WIW like yours; I am thinking I'll get a tripod so I can do the same, which may help me keep my style quotient a bit higher. </p> <p>The Cleo dress problem - yep, I have it, too. I DO own one Cleo dress; it is a bit big in the bust but I was able to deal with that with a simple, small alteration. The others I tried on would all have required much MORE alteration and they did not look as nice on me as the one I bought. So our friend Shannon is very lucky with them, I think. I'm not a pear -- more of an hourglass/rectangle -- but I have a small bust. So maybe that is the issue - they are made for larger bust women? However, yours was worth the alterations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684844 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 13:39:28 +0000 Marigold 684844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your 'hectic' week! One would never know ;). As others, love all the outfits, perfection, but the BF jeans outfit is spectacular. The close-up, straight from a magazine, really. Love!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684842 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 13:34:03 +0000 Diana 684842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I LOVE the BF jeans outfit! So effortlessly chic, you should be in a resort catalog somewhere. The white suit outfit is also a standout for me.</p> <p>And I actually love the full midi with flats. It's like what Angie was saying the other day about how it looks so edgy and fashion-forward because it's unexpected and different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684827 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 13:17:14 +0000 Sveta 684827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your kind comments!<br /> Anna, this blouse attracted me in the store right away. I wish it was silk but for this price I can play with it for 1-2 seasons.<br /> Malina, I was a bit afraid to wear #1 to work: what if I look too dressed up? In the end I dared and it was completely OK. There is something about white color which makes look dressy...<br /> Jem, I LOVE those jeans! What amazes me the most is that I ordered them on a whim in one size only (1+ from my regular) not hoping for anything - and the second I tried them on I was smitten. I got it the way I need it from the first try - sheer luck, isn't it?<br /> Sara, I have completely adjusted to flat oxfords. I think they look cool even if not the most leg lengthening. There are times when I choose cool over flattering...not to mentioning comfort factor. Actually in my "poisoned" eye flat oxfords look more interesting than the sky scraping heels! :-)<br /> Denise, I never wore white as much as I do now, it must be Angie's influence. There is more laundry involved, it's for sure - my new washer is a savior here!<br /> Lyn D., this is what I tried to think too! I really like the hound tooth blouse, the fabric drapes beautifully but it has the wrong proportions for me. Finding this shirt with a similar graphic effect the next day after I decided to return the NAS on was like confirmation that I did the right thing and Universe will always provides! :-)<br /> Vildy, this is the highest compliment, thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684825 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 13:12:36 +0000 Jjsloane 684825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taking notes on all of these. A great week, my favorites being 4 and 5. I think the Cleo dress is nice on you (worth your mom's tailoring efforts). I like the midi with flats, but maybe a lower vamped flat would be more Audrey to my eye. Very nice. I can sympathize with the crazy work (but I only worked 9.5 hour days without break)- hang in there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684823 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 13:02:33 +0000 Kyle 684823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 1, 4, and 5 is killer. Right out of a catalog. I love the texture of the sweater, the leopard belt peeking out, the scarf is so chic, and the shoes are unexpected and fun. The fit of those BFs on you is just right. The blouse in #4 looks like an Equipment version I've been admiring in red stripes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684817 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 12:49:38 +0000 JennyAnne 684817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is so sharp but I am head over heels for the last one. I must get some similar shoes! I'm longing for some cooler days. I'll be getting out a mesh sweater this morning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684809 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 12:24:22 +0000 Midwest Girl 684809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very stylish week. My favorites are 1, 3 &amp; 5--you look great your boyfriend jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684785 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 10:04:14 +0000 Mona 684785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for taking the time to post WIW's. you are such an inspiration and #5 is my favourite. You look so sassy in the open weave shirt and scarf. I also like the blouse from Suzy shier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684784 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 10:02:50 +0000 Laurenlaurielala 684784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely! So chic. I really love your dotty scarf and glitzy sweater. That is a fun look. Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684780 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 09:23:29 +0000 Vildy 684780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You may be overworked but sure aren't under-inspired.<br /> Look at you in #4. Where is the Sartorialist when ya need him. He really missed an opportunity by not lurking around your house. This is a look I would grab off the internet and save for inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684770 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 07:58:09 +0000 Lyn D. 684770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new striped shirt is the stellar opposite to the one you have returned in a super fab way!<br /> Adore the B.F. looks too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684760 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 06:04:56 +0000 CocoLion 684760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, #4 is so simple and striking, I just love it. I wish I had the lifestyle to wear more white. I recently purged/returned all but one of my white jeans.</p> <p>I also think #1 and the bf jeans outfit are well-conceived, attractive looks. Actually, they all are top-notch looks and look at you pulling off a midi and flats! Whenever I see your WIWs I totally "get" why tall people are models.</p> <p>On another note I am impressed that you are working so hard and extra hours yet still find the energy to dress so well. I admit that because I work 6 days/week in the summer, and since my work attire is a uniform, I allow myself to fall into a rut. But that doesn't mean I still don't shop! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684757 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 05:36:49 +0000 christy 684757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great week all around Sveta! But 1, 4, 5 are SUPERB to my eye. Really stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684747 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 04:33:01 +0000 MNsara 684747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am beginning to think work stress brings out some of your best outfits!! </p> <p>I am blown away by #4 -- SO striking, but then again, so is #1! Your dark(er) hair with the bold white and bits of black. FAB! Love the extra sassy hair in #4.</p> <p>I'm also thinking #3 is very chic and #5-6 is BF with attitude I'd love to see it another time with those nude sandals you mentioned (as I'm still working on my poisoned eye toward oxford flats). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---including-another-bf-jeans-attempt#post-684737 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 04:04:57 +0000 Debbie 684737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great week. You would never know you were having a hectic week. </p>
