Getting the compliments is wonderful feedback when you try something new isn't it.?<br />You look wonderful!!!!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263879 Thu, 29 May 2014 10:41:33 +0000 crutcher 1263879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit...You don't have a "large" top...That sweater looks perfect..<br />You just helped me define why I can't give up black...It covers the coffee stains...smile... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263795 Thu, 29 May 2014 04:24:02 +0000 CocoLion 1263795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! &nbsp;I must copy this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263779 Thu, 29 May 2014 03:49:26 +0000 MsLuna 1263779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Neel: awwww! That's so sweet and I'm glad what I wrote made you smile I've been reading and saving Angie's outfit creation tips in my Evernote! I'm making a lot of notes as I go through this wardrobe minimizing process and what I learned here in YLF makes a world of a difference!</p> <p>@Rae: indeed brilliant people aren't the most graceful around. That's what makes us super fun! Haha! </p> <p>And sheer tops - that's what I discovered! I don't own a white tank top (I will soon), so I decided to do all black separates and layer the white sweater over. It's magical how flattering this effect is! I'm going to get a white tank top and try this sweater with my statement tube skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263775 Thu, 29 May 2014 03:39:56 +0000 rae 1263775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe, I probably hit myself with food at least once a day. it must be a sign of our mad genius. ;)</p> <p>I love the outfit, I'm not as part of the magic of sheer tops, I think. you get to wear a different color on top and still have the benefit of a long line of color underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263774 Thu, 29 May 2014 03:39:55 +0000 Neel 1263774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know ... I was smiling all throughout while reading your post. Your happiness is lifting up my screen girl! So glad you loved your outfit because is awesome! And you should try all of Angie's ensemble. Its something we think is usual ... But the little trendy tweaks she makes<br /> ... Does all the difference :). Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263767 Thu, 29 May 2014 03:29:38 +0000 MsLuna 1263767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies!!!!</p> <p>@Shannon: Angie is the queen of formulas! She just makes everything style-related easy to understand!</p> <p>Haha Mrs. Spillypants! I should probably put that unfinished fashion design degree to work and start prototyping the coffee stain dress! Hah!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263757 Thu, 29 May 2014 03:21:18 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1263757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fab!! That Angie knows a thing or two when it comes to those formulas doesn't she?</p> <p>and where do I placed order for the coffee-stain dress? My BFF calls Mrs. Spillypants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263755 Thu, 29 May 2014 03:21:17 +0000 Gigi 1263755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love this outfit! It is feminine but professional, with a casual touch. I like how the garments skim your curves. I think the bracelets add a polished touch.</p> <p>It's such a great feeling to make a happy outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263741 Thu, 29 May 2014 03:10:54 +0000 MsLuna 1263741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG YES! This MUST be invented... I don't normally wear brown but black coffee brown???? I may consider it! </p> <p>Haha and traveling in a coffee dress/top is pure genius! I'm very prone to spilling coffee when I travel! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263721 Thu, 29 May 2014 03:02:37 +0000 Anonymous 1263721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd wear a coffee-dyed dress any day! That would be great for travel, especially. Spill coffee on it during the afternoon, and wear it out to a nice dinner without anyone noticing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263707 Thu, 29 May 2014 02:51:57 +0000 MsLuna 1263707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg totally forgot about randomly sitting on something! Yikes! At one point I spilled tomato sauce on my white pants and that was no fun! </p> <p>Now it got me thinking.... Coffee-stain dyed clothes??? Hmmm. That would make for an interesting pattern, especially if you veer towards the RATE side! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263703 Thu, 29 May 2014 02:49:32 +0000 Anonymous 1263703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also big on black coffee, which sometimes decorates my clothes too! And I know what you mean about certain assets getting "in the way." I'm even nervous to wear light colors on the bottom because, knowing me, that'll be the day I sit on something weird without noticing. So good for you for wearing them!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263697 Thu, 29 May 2014 02:46:13 +0000 MsLuna 1263697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Aida: I'm going to challenge myself one of these days to an all-white outfit. Let's see if I can survive lol!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263696 Thu, 29 May 2014 02:44:58 +0000 MsLuna 1263696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! Haha! Aubergine, there is a reason why I'm often seen in dark clothing! I drink black coffee daily, spill food on me and somehow manage to trip and fall once a week. Wearing something white is an adventure. I'm not a stranger to white bottoms though since I have relatively slim legs and nothing to be self conscious about. All my spillage seems to happen on the upper body since it "gets in the way". Heh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263694 Thu, 29 May 2014 02:44:18 +0000 Aida 1263694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh MKK, <i>what </i>large upper body?? Silly girl ^^&nbsp;Totally love the outfit, goodness how cute are you. Super flattering and just the right mix of casual-dressy. Sorry to hear that fabulous sweater snagged, that's a bummer.&nbsp;I spill on myself a lot too, but that's what the washing machine is for :)<br /> Wear more white!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263693 Thu, 29 May 2014 02:42:56 +0000 Jaime 1263693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great on you! I love the curved hem and you look terrific in white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263689 Thu, 29 May 2014 02:36:44 +0000 Anonymous 1263689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for doing something different! The hi-lo hemline looks <i>great</i> on you and the black tube skirt is really a wonderful choice to wear with it. The whole looks seems so flattering!</p> <p>I'm with you on spilling things. I can't&nbsp;be trusted to wear white at all. Basically, tomato-sauce red and chocolate brown are the only truly safe colors for me in terms of not getting noticeable stains. And black, of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0528-outside-my-comfort-zone#post-1263681 Thu, 29 May 2014 02:26:23 +0000 MsLuna 1263681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So here's why this outfit is outside my comfort zone:<br /> 1. I'm wearing a white top. I'm the self-proclaimed Clumsiest Person Alive who spills coffee on herself on a regular basis. Also, I'm self-conscious of my large upper body. I avoid lighter tops LIKE THE PLAGUE!</p> <p>2. I'm wearing a hi-Lo hemline. When they came out, I haaaaated them. But after the post on Angie's tube skirt + loose top formula and how she explained hi-lo's add structure to the outfit, I had to see it for myself. </p> <p>3. Separates. Some of you know I have a fear of separates and a fear of muffin top spilling over. Some of you also know I'm a proportion freak and I'm paranoid that separates tend to highlight my super short torso. </p> <p>Now here is why this outfit is FREAKIN AWESOME:<br /> 1. They feel like pajamas yet look very polished. An absolute rarity in my world. I wear a lot of slim fitting bottoms and body-skimming dresses and have ALWAYS had to sacrifice comfort. Not so with these. Productivity level at work went up (I can't work when my clothes are "too casual")</p> <p>2. I feel great. I feel pretty. I feel like a bad*ss. I feel HAPPY!</p> <p>3. I can wear this with heels (#1) or with faux Birks flats (#2).</p> <p>4. Wearing white is like living on the edge for a clumsy girl ;)</p> <p>5. My first time trying an Angie formula AND IT WAS AWESOME! </p> <p>BONUS POINTS:<br /> I got so much compliments for this outfit. It's more casual than what I normally wear, and that's the odd part!</p> <p>Only one problem:<br /> The sweater snagged a lot. At the end of the day, it' was pretty "holey" and I got sad. I really LOVE this sweater. I think I can get a few more wears of it so I'll enjoy it while it lasts.</p> <p>Sweater: Zaria (from Winners)<br /> Tank: Old Navy<br /> Skirt: Catherine by Catherine Malandrino<br /> Shoes #1: Aravon<br /> Shoes #2: Crocs </p>
