Hopefully I can have it this week..k<br /> kkards, it was Shannon who found these pants in Sears, I just followed in her footsteps. Luckily for Shannon she does not have any issue with the length unlike myself :-(<br /> Suz, I cannot wait to see your version of BR sweater with snake accessories!<br /> Wow Krish, you completely blew me away with your comment and amount of time and thought you put into it! Thank you very much!!! As for the cardi in #2: I think it does not photograph well.It is not grey but black and white stripe but they are always blurred in the pictures. I also thank you for the suggestion to try trousers from #3 as cropped: I will ask my mom if they can be tapered more and then I would be able to wear them as cropped length!<br /> Kyle, do you have a picture of your trousers or can you link to them? I would love to see how they look with a black band on the bottom.<br /> Thistle, my fingers are crossed that Danier will expand to US...<br /> Day Vies, fit is very important to me as well, nothing makes me feel 'meh' like badly fitting clothes!<br /> Angie, thanks for 'K' rating! You are truly a fairy god mother of my trouser outfits!<br /> Sara, it may be an overall shift with cropped jackets for us: they just feel off to me now. It also maybe because I wore a lot of tunic tops with slinnies and boots before and cropped jackets felt right with tunics. I wear different tops and trousers this year and they don't play as well with cropped jackets...<br /> Tina, I cannot believ that I did not have a single striped garment just 2 years ago and hated stripes. Now I cannot get enough of them!<br /> Lyn D, LOL! You are welcome to borrow my semi tuck any time! I find it more flattering on lower rise trousers and curvier hips that a full tuck so it works for me.<br /> Eliza, I hope your daughter can embrace her height and be proud of it. It is not always easy to be a tall gal but it has its own merits for sure I wish I understood it in my 20s, it would spare me a lot of moral anguish... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes/page/2#post-817586 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 01:54:43 +0000 Jaime 817586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic!

You look elegant, yet fresh and contemporary, with a hint of effortlessness. </p> <p>Part of it is the clothes and much of it is how well you carry yourself. Love your partial tuck and will have to study it further so I can borrow your technique. I hope my early 20's, six foot tall daughter can rock her height like this one day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817403 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 21:04:14 +0000 catherine 817403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have amazing, amazing style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817371 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 20:37:09 +0000 Lyn D. 817371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I adore those tuxedo-style trousers in #3, and the simple teal polo is gorgeous !<br /> Always love your outfits, and I find myself semi-tucking my tops as you do so often- I think I will call it the 'Sveta-Tuck' from now on.<br /> All Lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817227 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 17:57:49 +0000 Tina.b 817227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a natural elegance that comes through in everything you wear. You are the master of stripes. These are all fabulous outfits! I'm pinning #1 for inspiration in an effort to overcome my reluctance to wearing stripes myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817207 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 17:20:22 +0000 marianna 817207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you are one gorgeous, stylish creature, Sveta. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817185 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 16:55:33 +0000 MNsara 817185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You looked great all week, but GOSH you looked elegant for your company party!! I love those winter white trousers and how you had them narrowed. Your bravery paid off beautifully :-)</p> <p>I hope your co-workers, customers, etc. that night noticed your confident glam!!</p> <p>I appreciate your choosing the longer jacket too. I find myself less comfortable in my most cropped jackets. I think jackets ARE lengthening and my eyes are adjusting and appreciating when they hit lower. Or maybe it's because I'm wearing less dresses with jackets, where more cropped was better. . . ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817177 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 16:50:11 +0000 Transcona Shannon 817177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW - all absolutely fantastic Sveta with positively no tweaking required.

They are subtle (not a lot of bells and whistles to get maximum impact). #1 and #5 are my favorites. The mix of pattern and texture is perfection. Fit of course is a big factor with me and you nailed it. I have nothing more to add carry on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817135 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 15:56:37 +0000 Thistle 817135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what an amazing week, Sveta! You look great in all of them. If I had to pick a favorite, I would say #4. I am hoping Danier moves into the US one day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817133 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 15:52:04 +0000 Kyle 817133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the simplicity but visual interest you've created in outfit 1. The crispness of the stripes with the muted, non-crisp feel of the snakeskin. That really works to my eye. And you look great in the stripes. No. 2 is nice, too. Again, the individual items are simple, but you have created visual interest with the patterns. The black stripe on the sweater creates a nice vertical line. No. 3: Hurray! We are sweater twins. Lovely. Sveta, I have a pair of trousers with a black stripe up the side seams, and mine have a black band around the hem, too. Seems as though it would be easy enough for your mom to add a black band to extend the hem on these and make you feel more comfortable with the length? Four and five are brilliant, and I don't know how you can pull off those jeans cuffed above the booties that way -- I try it and, well, not so good. But you are runway-ready in all of these. I love your WIWs! Thanks for sharing...as always you are inspiring and beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817121 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 15:29:16 +0000 krishnidoux 817121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely, lovely, lovely. I absolutely adore outfit 4, that is a great direction for you. Your height can totally carry the extra slouch and the end effect is elegant and refreshing. For this reason, the jacket is perfect in its material, shape and length. The soft sexiness created by your pants and black top is balanced by the biting clutch and bubbly, cheerful oversize pearls. And the jacket's leather is what the extra slouch and sensual, luxurious feel of this outfit calls for. </p> <p>That snakeskin belt in 1 is fantastic, and especially how you have paired it with stripes. Perfect match. I am amazed at how well the snakeskin booties and belt work well on you, as well as the stripes on top. If it were me, I wouldn't wear both the snakeskin booties and belt together... because I am petite and doing so visually shortens me; stripes also widen me. But on you it's a different story, these items seem to respond to one another and you end up looking even taller than you are. Not fair!!! ;-)<br /> I also love your hair right now, very distingué and chic .</p> <p>Well the dress in outfit 2 is fantastic, but I am sorry, I don't like the cardi with it... so disconsolate, falling defeated on top of the cheerful dress now shadowed and broken hearted. IMO these two guys are not doing well together, and the culprit is the cardi's grey shade against the white dots. They loose vibrancy. The length, which I think would work in a sturdier material such as the one of a jacket, looks too long and too straight on the fluid moving material of the dress, seemingly imprisoning it in mourning. It doesn't help that the cardi's pockets are also emphatically crying outward, just at the hip level. </p> <p>This cardi would do well in a more dramatic, distressed outfit such as a BF jeans, a roughened skinny jeans with statement boots or booties, over a contrasting colour, electric blue, cobalt, metallic gray tee shirt with some interest or even sequin. IMO. </p> <p>Outfit 3, Now you're talking! Melodious, warm turquoise and sassy pants; sporty simplicity, city chic. I wonder what these pants would look like worn in their true vocation: higher at the waist, above the ankle, with ankle boots or booties with a heel. I think that paired with your leather jacket or another jacket that is short and with a bit of volume on top, it would look fab too. A bit like the silhouette in outfit 5. So love the boots there. Have you tried 5 with the cardi from outfit 2? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817104 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 14:35:47 +0000 Makrame 817104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look really great in all of these! Like your use of accessories and the nice semi-tuck that shows off the belts in 1, 3 and 4. The dress in #2 looks great on you, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817092 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 14:07:33 +0000 Atlantia 817092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good, Sveta! You do proportions so well. My favorite is #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817088 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 14:01:08 +0000 Claudia 817088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great line up of looks. YLF in every one of these outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817086 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 13:55:27 +0000 Suz 817086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great week, Sveta! These are all beautiful -- and look at what you have done. They are all fairly neutral, and quite simple -- yet each is strong, striking, and unique. </p> <p>What a shame about the shooties and trousers in #3. I have a pair of trousers like this too. I bought them in petite and sized up for slouch. So then I felt they were too short and had the hem let down...but they still feel too short and catch on the tops of booties. Oh well. Maybe they will become some sort of shorts in the warmer months...</p> <p>I think my favourites here are 1, 2, 3. You are inspiring me to try something similar with my BR sweater. I think the two pythons play well together. I have a python belt along with the python booties, too, so I can do this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817082 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 13:44:43 +0000 Krista 817082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all fab in my mind, Sveta. AJ said it right when she called you the accessories expert! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817081 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 13:43:46 +0000 kkards 817081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the snakeskin belt and shoes. and the half tuck!</p> <p>and the pants in #3.... SEARS? i feel like you should be in one of those commercials they are running now...Sears everyone, i got the pants at sears.<br /> i'm going to have to make an effort to check them out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817067 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 12:27:38 +0000 Anonymous 817067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 3 -- too bad the pants weren't a teeny bit longer. I love the belt with the booties in 1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817047 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 10:31:31 +0000 ManidipaM 817047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad to see you back in fine fettle and flying high in style, Sveta! :-)</p> <p>I could hardly get past #1. Super awesome! Loved #3 next best, which makes the pants length *such* a pity because it looks so, so good, and then #2... And yay for the repeat party outfit. #5's turned up cuff uses the stripes to such good impact. Fun Friday dressing. What a GREAT week you've had!</p> <p>And many happy returns of the big day to your mom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817024 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 07:12:37 +0000 Ginkgo 817024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of your outfits and actually your entire wardrobe! My favorites here are #1, 3 and 4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---seeing-stripes#post-817015 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 06:20:06 +0000 MsMaven 817015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 knocked my socks off--gorgeous. I love #4 also. Outstanding week for fashion, as well as for your makeup and hair. </p>
