It's great when you can identify such tiny details that make or break the outfit for you.</p> <p>#2 -&nbsp;Tan + white, now that's something to think about some more.&nbsp;</p> <p>#3 - This fits to what I've once read you'r style being&nbsp;described as - Soft Dramatic. I like dramatic, but can't do soft, yet there's a lot of inspiration here.&nbsp;</p> <p>#4 - It works, the shirt and the skirt. The skirt looks so glamorous.</p> <p>#5 - My favorite of the lot, it's the white background for the beautiful coloured top and the belt *swoon* I hear you about the length,&nbsp;I have similar issue with the pair which I only wear rolled up. I think longer is a bit dressier and&nbsp;I like the length of the jeans as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992697 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 03:48:16 +0000 Anonymous 992697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I've started and lost long posts on this thread twice today! I love your style and love these outfits! I'm especially impressed at the way you mix and remix your wardrobe. Your cage sandals and oversized clutch and smoking slipper loafers update everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992624 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 01:53:35 +0000 Lisa 992624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's fun to hear about your remixing old with new.&nbsp; It's nice to see how a wardrobe can be refreshed with just a few new additions.</p> <p>#1-I really like this top here, and I think the layering is spot on.&nbsp; I also would not like thin straps with a top such as this one, it would make me feel like I was showing a bra strap if the tank top straps were thin.</p> <p>#2-Lovely mix of softer colors here.</p> <p>#3-I am really enjoying all your white based outfits this season.&nbsp; And the nude accessories are the perfect touch.&nbsp; I'm already putting that on my list for next year's summer shopping.</p> <p>#4-Fun bright coral here.&nbsp; I'm stuck on light colors right now so I don't mind the grey skirt but I'd love to see it with a lighter color in an outfit remix.</p> <p>#5-The length looks good to me.&nbsp; Clever to cut off the excess.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992590 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 01:08:44 +0000 Beth Ann 992590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so consistently polished and inventive in your dressing!&nbsp; That said, #1 is my favorite, perhaps just because you like you're ready to go have a relaxing day off!&nbsp; Oh --- and I'm loving those shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992567 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 00:04:36 +0000 Anonymous 992567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pure awesomeness Sveta! I love those nude sandals! And the orange/red bag makes me swoon. You have great Summertime style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992561 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 23:58:58 +0000 Sveta 992561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for replying so late but life just butts in :-)<br />Thank you so much for your kind comment, they really make my day!<br />lyn, this skirt is right up your alley, isn't it? ;-)<br />AviaMariah, I would love to see your outfit version of this Gap biker jacket.<br />Firecracker, I am not a matchy-matchy person but for some reason I really like these nude sandals and clutch together.<br />Rae, this is an interesting observation ;-)<br />Deborah, semi tuck is my friend for sure!<br />Kari, Mona,Suz, Diane&nbsp;- thanks!<br />Lyn D., let's see that sheath un-orphaned!<br />Susie, deep teal is one of my favorite colors.<br />Angie, LOL! You are never boring and I am glad you liked the sheath with a biker jacket. Did you keep yours?<br />Denise, you are right, short and I just don't go together at all...unless it is my pet peeve of too short skirts or pants in the stores! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992406 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 18:27:21 +0000 CocoLion 992406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 2, 4 and 5! &nbsp;It's true you have great style, thanks for sharing your chic-ness with us. &nbsp;I like the way you shortened the pants in #5, and they are not leg shortening. &nbsp;I don't think it's possible for 'short' to ever come into your look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992389 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 17:26:21 +0000 Anonymous 992389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So elegant!

It's kind of fun doing that isn't it. </p> <p>I sound boring. I apologize for the repetition. You have KILLER style, and that's the end of the story. Everything fits so well. Tailored and fluid. You are eye candy!</p> <p>And #2 is KILLER to the power of KILLER!!! xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992299 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 13:39:20 +0000 Susie 992299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do an amazing job of styling outfits; I admire your creativity. The skirt is gorgeous! I think 5 is my favorite because that color looks so very nice on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992292 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 13:09:41 +0000 Suz 992292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unstructured structure -- and elegance defined. I love every one of these. Absolutely stunning. It is great to see how you keep all your wardrobe items working for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992288 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 12:46:05 +0000 Mona 992288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another great week of wonderful outfits, Sveta. I really like how you are mixing and matching old pieces with new ones. #4 and 5 are my favourite. White BF's look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992245 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 07:59:59 +0000 Lyn D. 992245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for more Summer outfit inspiration Sveta!<br />I have a sheath in my holding area for possible selling as it is unworn so far, but I might try it with a jacket before I purge. Yours looks so lovely with the biker jacket.<br />The mesh top with cami looks so nice with the patterned belt and slouchy bag-FAB! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992243 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 07:56:08 +0000 Kari 992243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, 3 leaves me a little breathless! Stunning outfit. Love them all but that's my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992230 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 06:43:53 +0000 Deborah 992230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta you have such a lovely elegance about you! </p> <p>I like the tank under the sweater, infact I too think I prefer it to a camisole. It looks very intentional whereas a cami sometimes says well I had to wear something!</p> <p>The denim jacket looks really good on you. I like the slight oversized ness of it and it works great with the elegant dress.</p> <p>#3 is just impeccable! I'm a little speechless.</p> <p>And #4 is lovely, great colour on you. I think you must be the queen of the semi tuck:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992223 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 06:07:07 +0000 rae 992223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm tired and didn't read the whole post, but I have to say WOW to the light denim with graphic B/W. So perfect and not something I feel like I see often, unless it's ripped jeans and a striped tee shirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992217 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 05:26:41 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 992217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all smashing on you! My faves are 1--love the texture of the top and the gold flats with this outfit!--and 4--so, so pretty on you! No, the skirt is not too dark at all. The colors, the style, and those fab nude sandals and clutch are lovely together. The other outfits are wonderful, too, with the soft neutrals, drapey fabrics, and that teal top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992195 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 04:28:10 +0000 AviaMariah 992195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all these but 1 is&nbsp; my favorite. &nbsp;I am especially watching how you style the Gap jean moto as I haven't broken mine out yet. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992161 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 03:16:29 +0000 lyn* 992161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must say that #3 is my favorite outfit - the pieces are so classy and relaxed, but man, that skirt in #4 is so beautiful! You look great in pink! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---something-new-but-mostly-old#post-992157 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 03:02:13 +0000 Sveta 992157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Almost all outfits this week featured mostly old items mixed with one or two of&nbsp;this year acquisitions. I think this is my usual approach to a new season - get a few selected seasonal refreshers and mix &amp; match them with items from the previous seasons.<br /><b>pic 1</b> Gold flats were bought this year and the rest is at least one season old.<br />I prefer to wear this &nbsp;mesh sweater with tank tops rather than with cami: thin straps just feel wrong to me here. This one is dark brown - I think it plays nicely with taupe.</p> <p>Kut Catherine BF jeans - last year NAS<br />Mesh polka-dot taupe sweater - Madewell<br />Isaac Mizrahi gold flats - Nordstrom<br />Luce tan hobo&nbsp; - Winners<br />Michael Kors animal belt - Rack</p> <p><b>pic 2</b> Hmmm, this one is mostly new - sandals are from last year but everything else was bought this year. Anyway, I really enjoy wearing white with nude accessories and really like how faded denim and tough biker style play against the refined sheath dress.<br />Calvin Klein b / w sheath - Winners<br />Faded denim biker jacket - Gap<br />Franco Sarto nude cage sandals<br />Nude oversized clutch from Portugal</p> <p><b>pic 3&nbsp;</b>&nbsp;My "sweatshirt" silk banded top is new here. Again I like the low contrast of taupe, shades of white and nude...<br />Taupe mini-stripe Editor trousers - Express<br />Off white silk banded top - Le Chateau<br />White cotton blazer - Melanie Lyne<br />Nude Fidji pumps - Nordstrom<br />Faux python tote - Winners<br />Off white studded belt - Winners </p> <p><b>pic 4 </b>Now for some color! The clutch is new here. I hope that this skirt is not too dark for this coral shirt: it is not black but more like dark charcoal with silvery threads running through.</p> <p>Coral button down shirt - Winners<br />Spanners midi skirt - consignment<br />Franco Sarto nude cage sandals<br />Nude oversized clutch from Portugal</p> <p><b>pic 5</b> Another dose of color - this time my favorite teal which always will be "sea water color" for me: this is how we called this color back home when I was a child. I decided to chop&nbsp;a couple of inches off these BF jeans. They were barely ankle length on me and I would never wear them full length as they were not flattering this way. They were also tapering on the bottom so I had difficulty to roll them up more than twice: they were too snug over my thick calves and drove me crazy. Now they are perfect! My only concern is that my legs look short in them, maybe I need to roll them up once more...</p> <p>Teal silk tunic - Le Chateau<br />White KUT Catherine BF jeans - Nordstrom<br />Grey Me Too slipper flats - Nordstrom<br />Tomato red Chromia satchel - Winners<br />Snake print wide belt</p> <p>Thanks for looking and have a nice weekend! </p>
