You still get the structure, but it's more forgiving and relaxed. It's worth experimenting with if you like the look :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1250848 Tue, 13 May 2014 22:01:14 +0000 Mamavalveeta03 1250848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this on you. I wish I could pull-off a tucked-shirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1249645 Mon, 12 May 2014 16:07:31 +0000 Lisa 1249645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun pullover, and a nice interpretation of the ensemble.&nbsp; This style of trouser looks like a great break from jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1248081 Sat, 10 May 2014 21:38:33 +0000 Aida 1248081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the lovely comments, ladies!</p> <p>Karie, hah! Well I am sure that hoodie is equally flattering on you ^^ I had to share that one with hubby, who shook his head, smiled, and said "Philly fans, eh?" ;)</p> <p>Gracie, I never really thought about pulling the belt around with an untucked top, but it makes so much sense to avoid that darn bump up front! I am going to have to try that.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247781 Sat, 10 May 2014 15:22:18 +0000 Angie 1247781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun is the back go that pullover. And with short hair, it becomes quite noticeable. FAB.</p> <p>Another excellent take on the formula. Yours is more dressy and polished - Aida-Style. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247740 Sat, 10 May 2014 14:27:51 +0000 Gracie 1247740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your interpretation of the look, with the surprise pattern on the back of the sweater, but Love the one with the " emergency" navy hoodie... The colors look so rich with your coloring. </p> <p>I also turn my belt around when I wear a light top untucked to avoid the buckle's relief on the front. Yeah, I'm a belt fan </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247707 Sat, 10 May 2014 13:31:24 +0000 Karie 1247707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great casual outfit - I like how you've taken Angie's outfit formula and made it your own! The unique back of the F21 top makes it extra fab. And I like what you did with your belt - I have a Fossil studded vine belt that I need to try this with so that the studs and the vine pattern are more visible.&nbsp;</p> <p>Glad to hear you enjoyed the&nbsp;ballgame. I miss living near the Phila. stadiums and getting to go to the games.&nbsp;Gosh, that's too bad your team lost...</p> <p>And I have to add that I much prefer the hoodie below:</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247619 Sat, 10 May 2014 10:25:56 +0000 Mona 1247619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great interpretation of Angie's outfit formula! These gold flats are so versatile and the top is very interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247616 Sat, 10 May 2014 10:23:56 +0000 Ledonna N. 1247616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I agree gives visual interest from the back. I like how you put your own spin on the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247613 Sat, 10 May 2014 10:21:00 +0000 Anonymous 1247613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too love the unexpected back detail of your new sweater. You definitely have the vibe of Angie's look and it looks good. Love the earrings and sunnies. You're inspiring me to dig out some of my earrings that haven't been worn for a good while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247570 Sat, 10 May 2014 08:05:26 +0000 Aida 1247570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks very much ladies! I'm glad you can see my inspiration from the ensemble ^^&nbsp;The ballgame was fun, though we lost; the opposing pitcher used to play for the Ms and had won every game of his we saw in person, so apparently we continue to be his good luck charm regardless of team This is what I actually ended up wearing at the game; it was so cold that both hubby and I had to get emergency hoodies, which ended up working out nicely as I've been wanting one for around the house and I really like the navy one I got. Fun and sporty!</p> <p>E, I don't mind the downtown feel of my version but am really drawn to the boho aspect of the original. Maybe when it warms up a bit I can get more of the boho in :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247513 Sat, 10 May 2014 04:27:08 +0000 MsMary 1247513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fab!&nbsp; The back of the top is so unexpected and so fun!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247509 Sat, 10 May 2014 04:21:59 +0000 Beth Ann 1247509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your take on Angie's post!&nbsp; This is a perfect example of how to take inspiration and make it work for your life and your closet! </p> <p>Love the sunnies, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247507 Sat, 10 May 2014 04:18:45 +0000 kellygirl 1247507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sweater is so cool! I love the unexpected pattern on the back. You rock the khaki formula! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247473 Sat, 10 May 2014 03:48:06 +0000 Gigi 1247473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, you look gorgeous in olive! I really love the colors in this outfit. It may be more polished, but it also seems that it is quite in line with your existing style. I love how the red nails add a touch of more vibrant color to the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247467 Sat, 10 May 2014 03:43:20 +0000 jackiec 1247467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look - the back of the shirt is SO unexpected - what a fun surprise - really! Love it all. Oh and the nails - as always perfection. I have to sit down and read your nail how-to's. Something I never have time for and don't really make time for since I botch it up every time. Yours look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247394 Sat, 10 May 2014 02:15:22 +0000 dustt 1247394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida - I'm a big fan of the orange silky back with those olive twills&nbsp;- and those glasses again - They are perfect on you!! love your interpretation - perfect for work AND a ball game </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247384 Sat, 10 May 2014 02:03:37 +0000 E 1247384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I think this is more downtown cool than boho, but nothing wrong with that! It's a fun look, especially with the different back to the sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247378 Sat, 10 May 2014 01:55:03 +0000 Anonymous 1247378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You took Angie's inspiration and ran with it.&nbsp; I really like your look and the trick of sliding the belt around to show the studs.&nbsp; The green of your twills seems to be echoed with your lenses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247361 Sat, 10 May 2014 01:33:24 +0000 pil 1247361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't it all about inspiration? Great combination and have fun at the ballgame! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247350 Sat, 10 May 2014 01:11:54 +0000 MRL 1247350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look, aida. The back of the sweater is such an interesting and unexpected touch! I also like the gold shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0509-inspired-by-angies-khaki-formula#post-1247313 Sat, 10 May 2014 00:05:27 +0000 Aida 1247313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK work with me here! These aren't true khakis but they <i>are </i>a light cotton twill, and embody the "close enough" aspect this outfit has to the ensemble&nbsp;even though I do not technically have one element in&nbsp;its title&nbsp;;) So: Slouchy cotton pants, check; rolled: technically check, it's just a teeeeny tiny little roll. Fluid top, check; semi-tucked for additional structure, check. Topper, nope. Gladiators, unfortunately not but I feel like these gold smoking slippers are both casual and earthy enough. Belt, check. Causal bag, uhhhh nope couldn't manage that one, had to grab a clutch of course.&nbsp;A quick note on the belt: I wanted to see the studs, so I pulled the belt around one loop over and buckled it at my side ^^&nbsp;Accessorized with white watch to add to the casual feel, BIG turquoise earrings inspired by LeopardLuxe's awesome turquoise jewelry, and light pink lip gloss to add a little softness.</p> <p>I think I've got the casual vibe of the outfit here, but it is a bit more polished and definitely feels less boho. I also didn't realize until I was putting the photos together that I probably should've tried to smooth this new sweater out before wearing it, gah. It's from Forever21 and about the quality you'd expect, so I plan to just have fun with it for the season while it lasts. I do like the idea of the solid front and patterned silk back though, a different take on the <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/04/21/new-blouse-upscale-silk-sweatshirt" rel="nofollow">upscale sweater/sweatshirt</a>. A little more casual than I usually wear to work, but that's fine. Plus hubby and I are thinking of heading down to catch the ballgame later tonight&nbsp;and it's definitely appropriately casual for that (but drat, no coat and no scorebook with me!).&nbsp;Happy Friday, everyone!</p> <p>Available items collected below.
