I think it would have totally worked if at least one of the layers hung longer than the others, to keep from being as topheavy/cut in half. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-928703 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:23:40 +0000 Scarlet 928703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the clean look of the first one best. The third look with the layering is pretty interesting. I think I would like to see it in motion. How nice that you take the horses back and that they remember. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-928666 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:54:24 +0000 Ingunn 928666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very inspirational, and no failures at all. I think I like all versions, maybe with a slight preference for the bracelet, not necklace, but it's really not important. I love the silhouette, colors and your ability to look completely at ease and so infinitely chic. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-928663 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:49:56 +0000 Carole 928663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your so pretty:) I love all versions, #1 and #3 are faves! Your casual and hip style is very inspirational! Thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-928565 Thu, 09 May 2013 13:42:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 928565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love that vest Denise. All versions look great but I have a particular fondness for #1 - for some reason I prefer the bracelet to the necklace. I really like the clean lines of the top and vest without the necklace. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-928560 Thu, 09 May 2013 13:39:23 +0000 Isis 928560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like #2, and am surprised that I like #3 so much as I don't go for ALGO.&nbsp; I think it's because every detail is interesting.&nbsp; Great outfits Denise!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-928542 Thu, 09 May 2013 13:23:29 +0000 Anonymous 928542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like all of them! &nbsp;Hi, Maggie! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-928537 Thu, 09 May 2013 13:17:31 +0000 Liz A. 928537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a sweet story about the horses.&nbsp; So many animal lovers on YLF https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-928446 Thu, 09 May 2013 09:54:43 +0000 CocoLion 928446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am so surprised that #3 got as much love as it did. &nbsp;<br /><br />VC, that is Maggie my lab who loves getting in the picture, but is hard to photograph. &nbsp;I have one other lab (chocolate) and a Border Collie and a tabby cat. &nbsp;And we now have 5 horses, two of them senior citizens who have retired from trail riding due to bad feet. &nbsp;People don't know what to do when their horse is no longer useful for riding and we take them back (they were both horses my brother sold). &nbsp;They are so happy to be back where they were born. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-928023 Thu, 09 May 2013 00:05:36 +0000 velvetychocolate 928023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love #3 - so stylish and fab on you! Who is that doggie in the background? Can't help but ask, since I love labs :)<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-928015 Wed, 08 May 2013 23:54:43 +0000 pil 928015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of them too, maybe #3 a little more than the other two. I don't know why, but I prefer the necklace with #3 over #2. Your sure can wear skinny jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-927959 Wed, 08 May 2013 23:06:59 +0000 Marley 927959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are all great!&nbsp; I love #3 the best.&nbsp; Followed by #2 - that necklace is awesome, and then #1.&nbsp; So cool! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-927954 Wed, 08 May 2013 23:02:02 +0000 missvee 927954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great outfit, it's hard to pick a favourite version, but I do love the necklace in 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-927950 Wed, 08 May 2013 22:59:56 +0000 Anonymous 927950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Denise, you are so cheap.....Monday! Sorry, I just couldn't resist.&nbsp;<br /><br />I don't know that there is any wrong here. No fails, certainly. I like them all and the reverse layering on the third is so cool, and like Angie says, it fits in with your environment so well. You're another one who looks really good in scoop necklines, lucky you!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-927929 Wed, 08 May 2013 22:47:17 +0000 Caro in Oz 927929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love #3 - the layering is fantastic. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-927792 Wed, 08 May 2013 19:44:37 +0000 Anonymous 927792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Firstly, you have a fabulous figure! and secondly I like 1 and 2 best. I may be erring to the rolled jeans though. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-927790 Wed, 08 May 2013 19:41:57 +0000 Angie 927790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The vest layered over the jacket works wonderfully well and is not an epic fail at all! On the contrary Darling-Denise :)<br /><br />You blend in so stylihsly with your rural and tough surroudings. It's a true skill to look <b><i>so</i></b> trendy, yet perfect for your environmental norm. <br /><br />KILLER. Love all renditions. xox<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-927780 Wed, 08 May 2013 19:33:36 +0000 Mo 927780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like all versions. &nbsp;I prefer the necklace to the bracelet, though. &nbsp;I'm finding myself doing less utility, but think doing it this way - with just one standout piece - is how I'm going to go forward, keeping the rest simple. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-927778 Wed, 08 May 2013 19:32:44 +0000 texstyle 927778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like them all - not sure I can pick which one I like best. I guess I do prefer the necklace but rolled or unrolled jeans works for me (unrolled seems easier to me with the booties though). https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-927769 Wed, 08 May 2013 19:24:36 +0000 Suz 927769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, I love them all, so that is no help.&nbsp;<br /><br />Real life fashion. TOTALLY wearable for my lifestyle, too. Love this.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-927758 Wed, 08 May 2013 19:19:39 +0000 kellygirl 927758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I prefer the uncluttered neckline of 1 but I love both 1/2. I like 3 but would remove the vest. It seems redundant. The grey skinnies are awesome on you, btw. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-927757 Wed, 08 May 2013 19:19:33 +0000 annagybe 927757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #3, definitely. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-927755 Wed, 08 May 2013 19:17:41 +0000 rachylou 927755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Just the perfect colours. The booties are awesome.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-927753 Wed, 08 May 2013 19:16:59 +0000 Janet 927753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm surprising myself by liking the ALGO version and the rolled version best. You look great in all of these though. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-927750 Wed, 08 May 2013 19:15:00 +0000 Anonymous 927750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 1 -- you do skinnies so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilitymilitary-style#post-927746 Wed, 08 May 2013 19:13:32 +0000 CocoLion 927746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's back to cool weather here in the foothills of the Sierra-Nevadas. &nbsp;This is an example of where I got the look right the first time, then kept tweaking it. &nbsp;I ended up wearing version #2. &nbsp;I couldn't fit the vest underneath the jacket so #3 is an attempt to to reverse layer, which is a fail I think.<br /><br />#1 -- TR skinny jeans in "hot lead." &nbsp;James Perse sweatshirt style tee; Utility vest from Macy's Impulse dept. &nbsp;Rag &amp; Bone booties; Cheap Monday bracelet and white Fossil watch which was a birthday present.<br /><br />#2 -- Removed the Cheap Monday bracelet and wore a Cheap Monday necklace instead. &nbsp;Also rolled the jeans. &nbsp;Wore this version.<br /><br />#3 -- ALGO version featuring the addition of an Urban Outfitters jacket and reverse layering.<br /><br />Thanks for looking and commenting! &nbsp;Which version do you prefer?
