I'm still quite surprised&nbsp;that #1 was such a favorite among these, I find the disconnect with how I felt in it so interesting. But I loved #4 so much that I'm already wearing a variation of it today :)<br /><br />Shannon, I enjoy having both real and faux leather in my wardrobe; they each have their uses, and I can certainly wear my faux pieces with a lot more security of mind since they are massively easier to clean! (And I need, like, 5 boost buttons for your sweet comment, thank you! &lt;3 )<br /><br />Mo, I hope your snow level went back up! I was out of town this weekend and found it very comical that we still had snow in our driveway when we got home late last night even though it had been 60F all weekend. Our property doesn't get much sun, heh.<br /><br />DV, thanks! I also really like the colors in #3, the camel is a bit softer than black but richer than taupe.<br /><br />Cathy, hah! The attitude in #4 is very spunky looking yes? I felt just like that wearing it https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22/page/2#post-888256 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 18:43:12 +0000 cciele 888256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Everything here is so so fab. My fav is #4 -- the colors, the silhouette, your attitude/poise! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22/page/2#post-888248 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 18:37:52 +0000 Tina.b 888248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aida, all incredible outfits, I need to study them piece by piece. #1 I'm totally stealing. I love the dressy blazer and dark top paired with the more casual army green pants, perfect juxtaposition! and the booties, gorgeous!!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22/page/2#post-887776 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 09:27:34 +0000 dlb1960 887776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the vest in no 5! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22/page/2#post-887713 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 03:40:15 +0000 rae 887713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yikes! Now that doesn't look like spring at all. I can definitely see how you'd be over the cold by now and ready for some lightness. The outfit with the new vest totally jumps out as my favorite - the white sleeveless jacket somehow makes it feel springy despite the black and jewel tones. Also really digging your lariat necklace and the PB tied in a knot. I no longer own any PB blouses, but I preferred to knot as well.&nbsp;<br /><br />On another note, it has to be a sign that one is Truly Stylish when she has to reveal her own "misses." I'm sure we'd have never known. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22/page/2#post-887710 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 03:31:17 +0000 Caro in Oz 887710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They &nbsp;are all fantastic outfits &amp; I love to hear the your thought process too.<br />I'm another one with lots of love for&nbsp;#4 - I can see why you feel you need&nbsp;a shot of colour, you look fantastic.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22/page/2#post-887658 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 02:08:20 +0000 Karie 887658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your outfits are always fantastic, but I just love #2. Your top looks nice and flowy (my favorite kind of top) and I love your tan boots! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22/page/2#post-887644 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 01:51:01 +0000 Day Vies 887644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Now how the heck am I supposed to pick a favorite when they all look do stunning! (Eye candy wonderland!) OK, so #3 is my favorite because I love the color palette -- I've been thinking about this mix for a while and have not yet tried it. #4 is super cute I love the red jacket! I also adore the coral earrings with your coloring. Simply gorgeous!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22/page/2#post-887272 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 16:17:46 +0000 Kalli 887272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hurray an Aida Smorgasbord! Lots of yummy eye candy for me to peruse. Thank you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22/page/2#post-886973 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 02:39:03 +0000 Sveta 886973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Count me in with those who loves olive and black in the first outfit! It does not look heavy at all...but I understand this longing for lighter and more cheerful colors in the early spring when winter just does not want to go away...like planting violas ;-)<br />I also like ##4 and 5 very much. This red jacket is amazing on you, please wear it more often. And I am in love with the vest in #5!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22/page/2#post-886970 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 02:29:59 +0000 Jaime 886970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well since #4 has already received much (well deserved) love, I will focus on the spectacular color of the top in #5. I love it with the oversized white vest. I understand what you mean about the colors in #1 being heavy, but I love that outfit on you - so sophisticated from the lariat to the tip of your open toes. And the coat and blouse in #2 are just perfect on you. And the fit of the green jeans (how clever are you to achieve current fit through shrinkage). And I love that clutch. That is the best I can do without flipping back and losing my what I have written&nbsp;- is there a save draft option I am missing? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22/page/2#post-886944 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 02:09:53 +0000 Debora 886944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aida, all are stellar looks. I especially love #1 and #4. That orange jacket is just amazing on you.Thanks so much for sharing! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22/page/2#post-886933 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 01:58:09 +0000 Mo 886933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #4 rocks! &nbsp;I like the necklace as tie in #1, too. &nbsp;Looks like you have more snow than me right now :/ https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22/page/2#post-886890 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 01:01:39 +0000 Thistle 886890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How did I miss this post? &nbsp;Wow, you look so fab day after day, week after week! You really know your style and it just shines. &nbsp;Love #4. &nbsp;Orange looks so fab on you, and I love the vibrant color with all that snow! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22/page/2#post-886821 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 22:06:30 +0000 texstyle 886821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Such an amazing and professional set of outfits Aida -&nbsp; the colors,&nbsp;textures, silhouettes, everything is just coming together so well. You, Shannon, Ingunn and a few others have been so inspiring, especially in the last few months.&nbsp; I really also love the extra art in your photo displays. &nbsp;I need to go see now if you have your own blog because I can't remember. I'm also very interested to see how the orange/rust blazer is styled in the future - I have a very bright neon orange/coral jacket that I've so far only worn a couple of times, usually on cloudy days when I think a shot of color would be nice.<br /><br />You definitiely look fab. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22/page/2#post-886732 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 19:23:57 +0000 Kyle 886732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I happen to love the black and olive combo, including the lariat&nbsp;-- it's sophisticated but young and polished and it feels just right for you. Black looks amazing on you, by the way. And your hair gives a whole new level of polished chicness to every outfit.<br /><br />BUT, #4 knocked me out. I've had to go back and look at it several times to try and understand what makes it so fab, and the only answer I can come up with is, everything. Perfect from head to toe.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22#post-886195 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 01:42:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 886195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aida - how on earth do you come up with such fantastic outfits week after week??? I wait for your WIW posts like a pre-schooler waiting for their birthday presents!<br /><br />I think you might be convincing me to try a faux leather white vest rather than looking for real leather - this one is fab on you. And Denise - you are not too old for the vest!!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22#post-886139 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 00:27:16 +0000 Aida 886139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks ladies :D<br /><br />Jonesy, I love to match my lipstick to my outfits although the color does get washed out in the photos much of the time; they're always much brighter in person. But I'm especially fond of matching orange for some reason.<br /><br />Mary, YES! I keep getting stumped in the mornings&nbsp;and then thinking, why pin 'em if we don't use 'em&nbsp;eh? So many ways one can interpret an inspiration outfit. I've been using Pinterest a LOT this season, and find it hugely helpful when I feel slumpy.<br /><br />Dianthus, to be honest, I get that fit because most of my skinnies fit about 0.5-2 sizes too large due to very slow weight loss over several years. Luckily, this is on trend ;)&nbsp;That said, if I were heavier they would still fit me correctly which I am finding is both a blessing and a curse when wearing baggier skinnies; sometimes it's hard to tell if they are actually oversized, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.&nbsp;If I wanted to get this fit in a new pant, I would find one that fit well and then simply size up, or pick one that I were in between sizes for and go with the larger size.<br /><br />Angie, right! That was totally&nbsp;in my mind when putting this outfit together.&nbsp;I had a longer top on underneath the jacket with it open at first, but switched to this version because it felt more equestrian (even though the boots/jacket aren't really so) which&nbsp;is just what I&nbsp;was in the mood for. I think their jackets and especially the tails are longer though, yes?&nbsp;And woo for a K2 rating, as I said above&nbsp;this is one of my favorite outfits ever and will definitely make it through my repeat filter&nbsp;^^&nbsp;Re the white jeans, I figured eventually one of the photos would capture how big they are I'm coming around to them for the white, but I think I'd still like another pair that's slimmer for sleeker looks.&nbsp;Hope the snow didn't cause too much trouble for you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22#post-886099 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 23:45:51 +0000 Angie 886099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm with Jonesy! It's all fab, but I especially LOVE #4. It's like a dressage lass married into the jockey community. (I'm horsey - don't know if you know what that means). Now I can finally see how big those white jeans are - very on trend. I'm going with a KILLER to the power of KILLER for that outfit :)<br /><br />We had a little snow in the city this morning too. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22#post-886098 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 23:45:36 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 886098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love #1.&nbsp; I really like the way you wear slim jeans.&nbsp; I didn't say skinny because you always seem to get the fit just right so they fit close but don't look tight.&nbsp; It is a really good look and I wish I could duplicate it.&nbsp; :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22#post-886092 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 23:36:25 +0000 MsMary 886092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ah, Aida!&nbsp; My beloved Pinterest-copycatting blouse-twin sister!&nbsp; I love all of these, and ironically my very fave is #1, the one you consider a "miss!"&nbsp; Go figure, huh?&nbsp; I love all of these, and even more so when I get to see the inspiration behind them!<br /><br />And oh my goodness!&nbsp; What a lovely snow bunny you are in #5!!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22#post-886086 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 23:32:22 +0000 Jonesy 886086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These all look fab, but I especially love #4--you look smashing in that color (with matching lipstick too!) and the silhouette is rockin'. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22#post-885974 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 22:13:27 +0000 Anonymous 885974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love 4 in particular! 5 is good too.<br /><br />i love to read about your inspiration and thought processes. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22#post-885947 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 21:50:56 +0000 Aida 885947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you for the comments, ladies! I'm glad to hear that #1 is going over well, I guess even if I'm feeling off I don't have to look it. This is a total 180 from where I was when I first came to YLF&nbsp;2 years ago, so it makes me happy! Also glad to hear ya'all find my thought process on these interesting, sometimes I worry I am too wordy about it ;)<br /><br />Nicole, no worries I don't plan to give up olive and black; they are two of my core neutrals, but I am executing a fairly strict no-new-items-in-black policy for sure. I just need to add a healthy dose of something light to the combination right now, either by a light colored item or having more skin exposed. I'm all about white!<br /><br />Rachy, the punk in me loves your subversive clutch comment ^^ It's the spirit of the intent for sure: to take an otherwise classic type of outfit and add in a little chaos.<br /><br />Saretta, actually this is the only proper snow we've gotten this year so I was thrilled to see it! Just not so dang early in the morning. I love snow,&nbsp;but this was an off year for it (it alternates here in the PNW).&nbsp;I can see how the high contrast between pants/boots doesn't appeal, it can certainly be a jarring effect and isn't necessarily the most flattering type of pairing so one would have be to OK with that. Thanks for the honesty! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22#post-885909 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 21:31:58 +0000 Saretta 885909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a lovely snowy landscape, but I imagine you must be tired of it!<br /><br />My fav look is no. 5. Very cute and flattering, plus I like that you have matched the dark boots with the dark pants. My only comment on some of the other outfits is that the dark pants w/light boots, or vice versa, are not my fav.<br /><br />How nice to have a sister to take pictures of you https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22#post-885898 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 21:26:40 +0000 Ingunn 885898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ WOW, this is a great week! I see what you mean by not wanting the black+olive combo again in a while, but you <b>do</b> look great in those colors. My favorites are #1, #4 and #5. Great colors, textures and as always an eye for details. You have great style, and I LOVE reading about your inspirations an elaborate thoughts on your ideas.<br /><br />I do have a lot more snow in my back yard than you, and I really wish I could hope it is gone by tomorrow&nbsp;:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22#post-885892 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 21:19:27 +0000 harmonica 885892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #1 is my favorite and the shades in #2 are amazing! You are such an inspiration, Aida. Always a treat to see your strong outfits<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22#post-885864 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 21:01:54 +0000 rachylou 885864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I do not know how you knock these outfits out every day! All are wow! I really really love #3. The clutch is perfectly subversive, in a good way.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22#post-885835 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:48:21 +0000 Nicole D 885835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Don't give up on olive and black! &nbsp;That one is one of my faves! &nbsp;And the red/orange jacket. And the teal jeans. &nbsp;I really love your use of colour and mix of shapes. &nbsp;You can join Team Peacock anytime. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0318-22#post-885834 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:48:15 +0000 Susie 885834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These all look so good. I love your style, Aida. You always look like you have such fun with it. You may put a lot of thought into your outfits but you may it look effortless and unfussy and I adore that.<br /><br />My favorite is #4. I literally said "WOW" when I opened it!
