Whimsical and sophisticated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629535 Sat, 26 May 2012 18:14:06 +0000 christieanne 629535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Despite the heat fluctuations, you managed to have a very stylishly turned out week. I think the denim shirt/skirt is absolutely the best pairing ever of a denim shirt with dressy bottom. I would love to see that with your striped black and white clutch!<br /> Not seeing the ppl concerns with your trousers - just a modern classic tailored outfit (such a great color top!). </p> <p>The hat is fun and perfect with your short hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629418 Sat, 26 May 2012 15:57:50 +0000 Tanya 629418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning week Sveta! Everything looks beautiful, and I really want to still that gorgeous polka-dot skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629411 Sat, 26 May 2012 15:54:45 +0000 Sona 629411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab week. Your clothes are always crisp and fabulously tailored: in that you remind of Angie so very much in your WIW's. Your mum's influence on your tailored style is evident ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629400 Sat, 26 May 2012 15:45:14 +0000 Anonymous 629400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do so well with pattern mixing Sveta, so sophisticated. Sometimes it comes off clownish on me so I'm taking notes! I love the bright blazer in #1 and the polka dot skirt is amazing. I love your red domed satchel too. I'm not sure if I've *met* that bag yet! Your teal tunic is a beautiful color and cut on you, and I love the black and white printed skirt you found at winners! Great elements = great outfits this week! Love them all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629374 Sat, 26 May 2012 15:17:45 +0000 Jonesy 629374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a beautiful week! Very cohesive too! I truly cannot pick a favorite--you look fab each and every day. Love the pattern mixing, especially, in the last look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629270 Sat, 26 May 2012 12:12:40 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 629270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all Sveta but particularly love the polka dot skirt ensemble and that silk shirt is absolutely perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629253 Sat, 26 May 2012 11:08:51 +0000 Anonymous 629253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all awesome. I am in love with the polka dot skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629232 Sat, 26 May 2012 08:45:10 +0000 CocoLion 629232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sun hat = not silly! You look stylish and feminine and your skin will look better and younger longer. I have a friend who has been wearing hats since her 20s every single day of the year (she lives in S. California). She is now 50 and looks no more than 38.</p> <p>As for the outfits, they are all really good. No style stumbles in sight! Your hat would look nice with the full skirt in the second outfit as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629160 Sat, 26 May 2012 04:30:53 +0000 Midwest Girl 629160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely week! I really like outfit #4 with and w/o the jacket. You look like a movie star in the hat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629143 Sat, 26 May 2012 04:13:49 +0000 Reneeb 629143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the polka dot skirt and denim shirt but they all look great. The hat looks adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629132 Sat, 26 May 2012 04:03:44 +0000 Anonymous 629132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look fresh and stylish in them all, but I particularly like the polka dot skirt and denim shirt combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629114 Sat, 26 May 2012 03:29:00 +0000 Lisa 629114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A fab week, the polka dot skirt and denim shirt is my favorite look of this bunch. How neat that mom made your blazer in #1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629088 Sat, 26 May 2012 02:52:48 +0000 AJ 629088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All lovely outfits, Sveta! I too luv both skirt outfits. </p> <p>I think your hat looks FAB with your short hair. Long hair would have made the hat's brim less dramatic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629087 Sat, 26 May 2012 02:50:49 +0000 Meredith1953 629087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are gorgeous in all of these outfits but holy cow! I love that printed skirt so much! P.S --Your ankles etc. look great in the oxfords! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629082 Sat, 26 May 2012 02:45:42 +0000 Suz 629082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. That is true in Toronto, too. I have had better luck at Winner's there. But Kingston only has the one store and it's not a very good one. Sad! ;( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629081 Sat, 26 May 2012 02:44:42 +0000 Sveta 629081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy - thanks!<br /> Beth Ann, giggling on Great Gatsby reference here...<br /> Suz, Winners is hit and miss. I went in there today (this is where I bought the hat) and it was very sad indeed: nothing to even close to tempt my SYC. I think I maybe have 1 buy out of 5 visits to the store and it takes a lot of browsing to find anything good. I also noticed that different stores in the city (we have 4 of them) have some different merchandise... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629076 Sat, 26 May 2012 02:34:53 +0000 Suz 629076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, these are all terrific. But I'm especially in love with the two skirt outfits. Not to mention with the skirts themselves! Those are both fantastic! </p> <p>Although I share your fears of stumpifying footwear, I do not think the oxfords are a problem here; they almost read as a nude.</p> <p>I have to confess that if I am jealous of Shannon's thrift stores and Deborah's Op shops, I am almost as jealous of your Winners, which seems to be so much better stocked than ours. I can't believe you find so much good stuff at yours. I almost never find anything worthwhile there. I admit, the few times I have, it really WAS a great find...but clearly our store is substandard. I was there a few days ago and came out completely empty handed. </p> <p>By the way, I think you look glamorous in the hat and you can certainly carry it off! It is the very definition of "soft dramatic." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629072 Sat, 26 May 2012 02:23:59 +0000 Beth Ann 629072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderul week, Sveta. First, let me say that my absolute favorite is #4 -- love the pattern mixing. I think the oxfords work well --- the low constrast keep them from being so stumpifying. </p> <p>Teal is amazing for you, please wear more of it, and I think you've nailed the denim/dressy skirt formula here.</p> <p>Finally -- the hat is very "Great Gatsby" and, as you know, Daisy would only sport the shortest of bobs! I think this is the perfect hat for short hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629035 Sat, 26 May 2012 01:47:45 +0000 Amy 629035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits and I love your new skirt. Fun! Enjoy the nice weather </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629011 Sat, 26 May 2012 01:11:03 +0000 Sveta 629011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Kiwichik.<br /> Shannon, the blouse in #3 is a deep bluish teal. For some reason it never photographs in its true color: it is much more saturated IRL and you are right, it is a very good color for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629009 Sat, 26 May 2012 01:09:17 +0000 Janet 629009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about your weather, but you look cool and fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629007 Sat, 26 May 2012 01:06:46 +0000 Transcona Shannon 629007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your Mom made that gorgeous jacket in #1??? It's so fantastic on you Sveta in both fit and colour. What a talented mother! The jeans also look amazing on you - talk about a perfect fit!</p> <p>What can I say about #2 other than LOVE!!!</p> <p>That cobalt blue blouse in #3 is divine with your skin and hair colouring and I really like the pairing of the cobalt with the soft beige trousers.</p> <p>Your new skirt is fab and like the pattern mixing with the swirls and the stripes. The oxfords are perfect and such fun with this outfit.</p> <p>Another fab Sveta week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629004 Sat, 26 May 2012 01:04:52 +0000 Kiwichik 629004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like all these looks I think you have sucessfully combined the polka dot skirt &amp; denim shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-siwrls-in-the-heat-wave#post-629001 Sat, 26 May 2012 00:59:56 +0000 Sveta 629001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was a short work week after a long Victoria Day weekend and it was getting hotter and hotter as the week progressed. I find this transition form cool sprig to hot summer very hard especially when it feels that spring weather evaporates overnight. We have a lower than average water level for 4 month and lawns are as yellow as they usually in August. We desperately need some rain!<br /> Anyway back to my outfits:<br /> pic #1<br /> This was a day when it was still cool in the morning so I wanted to wear my emerald riding jacket while I still can.<br /> Jacket - my mom's creation<br /> white / navy striped tank - H&amp;M<br /> Canyon flares - Paige via Rack<br /> Ron Hommerson patent black open toe pumps<br /> Red Chromia bag</p> <p>pic #2<br /> After my experiment with denim shirt and a dressy skirt last week which was not very successful I wanted to try this shirt with another skirt - this time knee length polka dot flare. I have added my faux pearl necklace and liked how these bog baubles mirrored the skirt's dots.<br /> denim shirt - Anthro<br /> polka dot skirt - Jessica Howard via cosignment<br /> 3-strand faux large pearl necklace - Winners<br /> nude Fidjis form Nordstrom</p> <p>pic #3<br /> It was a business casual day at work and pretty hot one and I decided on a roomy silk tunic. I wanted to wear my cream slingbacks and added a white studded belt to bookend them. Alas, I think it was not PPL with these shoes. I really need to get my 4 pairs of wide hem trousers and jeans and try them with all my footwear to determine which to wear with which...<br /> Teal silk tunic - Le Chateau<br /> Express Editor trousers<br /> white studded belt - Winners ( 6 years old)<br /> cream / silver snake slingbacks - Ros Hommerson.</p> <p>pic 4/5<br /> It was a casual and very hot day so I debuted my new printed pencil skirt. It is thin stretchy cotton so it is perfect for hot weather. Also it is quite high waisted - actually the waist is higher in the front that in the back. So here is some pattern mixing.<br /> Does it work with flat oxfords? My legs and ankles are on the thick side and I always worry they look stumpy in high vamp shoes and skirts...<br /> black/white patterned pencil skirt - Winners<br /> white / navy striped tank - H&amp;M<br /> CK cropped denim jacket - Winners<br /> Hush Puppies yellow / white oxfords<br /> teal tote - Winners</p> <p>Bonus shot - I got a sun hat today. My last year hat is fabric and black on top so it faded quite a bit. I am on SYC until NAS but I considered this is gear, not clothing - right?:-) Does it look silly with my short hair?</p> <p>This was my week - thanks for looking and as always I appreciate all comments and suggestions! </p>
