And YES IT LOOKS LIKE CHAINMAIL! It's actually black/white/silver metallic yarns combined. I just thought it looked too cool!</p> <p>@Neel: good call. Most of my tops are actually sleeveless too and I wear them mainly in the winter months for layering. And I hear you on bunching fabric! Thanks for reminding me about the bunching sleeves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0716-a-good-outfit-sale-haul#post-1305833 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 05:06:38 +0000 Neel 1305833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I almost always wear sleeveless blouses under my tailored jackets. I don't like the bunching or the extra fabric on my sleeves when I wear long sleeved tops under jackets. Moreover just plain hot to go for two full sleeved items even in winter here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0716-a-good-outfit-sale-haul#post-1305823 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 04:40:16 +0000 MsLuna 1305823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neel that's a really cute top!!!! I wish I was in the market for something cobalt but I already have my blue dolman blouse! Hmmm... Sleeveless blouse to wear under tailored jackets? Now this gets me thinking.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0716-a-good-outfit-sale-haul#post-1305818 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 04:34:24 +0000 Neel 1305818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute! Your FFBOs are always the super best MsK! And fantastic haul. The top especially is very cute (obviously because I have a similar one from Mango in black too ) My thought process was the same when I bought it and I also think it semi tucks really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0716-a-good-outfit-sale-haul#post-1305811 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 04:26:46 +0000 jackiec 1305811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha - you shine in this outfit. Truly you. Love it all. Can't&nbsp;<i>wait&nbsp;</i>to see what you bought. I'm the same as you, never, ever, ever set foot in Club Monaco until last year when&nbsp;a cozy cream cableknit called my name from the front mannequin. I ended up returning it, but have popped in now and again. Nice stuff in there. But chainmail? Must see that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0716-a-good-outfit-sale-haul#post-1305806 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 04:23:51 +0000 Anonymous 1305806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit looks great. I can see why it makes you happy. It looks like you are finding things that are working for you. I can't wait to see the " chainmail" sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0716-a-good-outfit-sale-haul#post-1305759 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 03:06:47 +0000 MsLuna 1305759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday, I wasn't feeling so hot on my sneakers and dress outfit. I was feeling a bummed out because Sneaks just aren't my style and I really missed my heels. The bummy-ness dissipated today with my chosen outfit.</p> <p>This is a typical outfit that makes me feel good - a fallback silhouette of sorts.<br /> - tailored semi-fit jacket with scrunched or folded sleeves<br /> - slim (tapered) skirt<br /> - body-skimming yet drapey top<br /> - tall wedges (but these only have a total of 1.5 inch dip due to the high platform)</p> <p>I've been trying trends like crazy since May, and followed a lot of YLF recommended trends as much as I can. I have this odd fear of being "outdated" or "too old-fashioned" or "stuck in a decade". In the end, my fallback is, and will always be a classic silhouette.</p> <p>I also took into consideration what you ladies suggested for my shoe problem. I was unlucky to not have found silver Sofft Bernia's, BUT... I nabbed a shoe I've been drooling over since May - for a lot less. I hesitated the first time I saw this because the sole was thinner (yet rigid) than what I normally wear. My foot also flopped around a bit. The arch support and mid foot support was amazing, though, so I purchased them and stuck a ball of foot cushion underneath. Floppy feet begone, and extra padding added! </p> <p><a href="http://www.bocshoes.com/Product/BOC/Womens/Pfeiffer/Black/Color" rel="nofollow">http://www.bocshoes.com/Produc.....lack/Color</a></p> <p>And then there's Club Monaco... I never used to shop there because it was too "black and white", not knowing that monochrome high contrast dressing makes me the happiest of happy. You will laugh when I say this (and this is something fellow geeks, ladywone and lyn* will appreciate), but I was drawn to a sweater that looked like chainmail. I HAD TO try it. So I did, and it was the best fitting sweater I've ever worn in my life. Normally, I avoid shiny things on my torso but this time? No way. It fits and it looks fab. It's too bad I can't find a link in the Club Monaco site. Oh - and the chainmail will not be part of my summer wardrobe. It will be part of fall.</p> <p>I also purchased this lovely top in black:<br /> <a href="http://www.clubmonaco.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=32809366" rel="nofollow">http://www.clubmonaco.ca/produ.....d=32809366</a></p> <p>I thought about a potential return for this but it worked well with my skirts (I have to hike up the tube skirts to a shorter length for this to work) and my waxed denim Jeggings. I'm thinking about getting the taupe version because it looks so dreamy. I don't do taupe, but a girl can gave her wildcards, no? I also feel these tops are great for layering under unstructured tunic jackets and cardigans for the colder months, so they will carry over well.</p> <p>Anyway I wrote too much! If you read through this, thank you!</p> <p>Top: Calvin Klein<br /> Skirt: Vince Camuto<br /> Jacket: The Gap<br /> Shoes: Naot </p>
