Thank you so much for offering! I am glad I did not massacre your style definition lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1020212729-110304-casual-weekend-looks/page/2#post-770642 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 00:06:41 +0000 Aida 770642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies! :D</p> <p>Mona, thanks for the compliment on my shoulders. They cause me so much trouble while shopping, that I tend to take them for granted &lt;3</p> <p>Pastrygirl, this seems to be the only way I wear any of my cardigans any more, since I bat for Team Jacket. I just treat them as a knitted button-up shirt (that can be layered with another button-up shirt ).</p> <p>Zap, you described my style pretty much how I would (woohoo!): primarily urban+color, with a smattering of Euro-chic, strong 70s influences, and a healthy dose of West Coast punk rock. That's the goal, anyway I don't have much opportunity to wear proper Business Casual, I only _really need_ to for the very occasional meeting or conference. But it does make me feel more worky so for my work outfits I've been trying to have at least 1-2 days without denim, though those skew Business Creative Casual. I think a lot of my normal Smart Casual workwear could be workified if the jeans were swapped for trousers. If you 'd like I'd be happy to pop through my archives and post some of my properly Business Creative Casual outfits for you, they're fairly scattered hehe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1020212729-110304-casual-weekend-looks/page/2#post-770276 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 15:43:14 +0000 Carole 770276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love your outfits, comfy, cool and so stylish. 4 and 5 are my faves! I love the soft blend of colors in 4. And the mix of greens in 5 is so pretty with your scarf. And your boots, are killer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1020212729-110304-casual-weekend-looks/page/2#post-770190 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 14:14:39 +0000 Parsley 770190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are some great casual outfits.<br /> My favorite is #1.

I also love the jeans tucked into the boots looks. Lots of great inspiration here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1020212729-110304-casual-weekend-looks/page/2#post-770179 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 14:02:50 +0000 Anonymous 770179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have an amazing style and a very versatile closet to go with it. These series are no exception. There are lots of inspiration here for me, in terms of layering and color combinations. Do you have an opportunity to wear more business casual outfits, ever? I'd love to see your take on that. I can use some inspiration! The layering is divine. I struggle to find items that just drape. My body refuses to cooperate and the fabric just curves with 'da curves... sight:( Here is the desire to keep on trying!</p> <p>How do you describe your style? I see lots of urban influences paired with color and a bit of boho. That is very unique and different, in a very good way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1020212729-110304-casual-weekend-looks/page/2#post-770151 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 13:03:53 +0000 pastrygirl 770151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It didn't completely register that you wore the cardigan as a sweater. I subconsciously have been doing that lately, but I always have to cover with a scarf because I've bought all my cardigans smaller so they don't look frumpy when worn open. I'll have to think about bigger sizes now because I love the look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1020212729-110304-casual-weekend-looks/page/2#post-770107 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:29:05 +0000 Mona 770107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing these outfits, Aida. What a treat to see you in #1 and the gold flats are super fab. Also, I love your straight shoulders. Mine are narrow and sloping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1020212729-110304-casual-weekend-looks/page/2#post-769931 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 02:23:25 +0000 Aida 769931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shevia! The flats are by Fossil, though I'm not sure if you can get them over in Israel. Super comfortable, true to size, roomy toe box.

Yes we did. </p> <p>ohhh! I love the flats sis bought too :)</p> <p>I did not wear a wool coat today and I was MISERABLE out and about. I am soooooo bundling up tomorrow when I am downtown all day shopping with a client. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1020212729-110304-casual-weekend-looks/page/2#post-769777 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 00:50:34 +0000 Aida 769777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My car too! I suppose I should put my trench away and get out the big wool coats; it's supposed to get below freezing the next couple of nights! I will tell sis you love them, she will be excited to hear (also me too ^^)! I think I influenced her on them too, because she just bought herself this pair and she's not usually a sparkle gal: <a href="http://www.shoes.com/en-US/Product/EC1334499-5171127/MIA/Taupe/Womens+Bedazzle.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.shoes.com/en-US/Pro.....azzle.aspx</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1020212729-110304-casual-weekend-looks#post-769772 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 00:46:43 +0000 Angie 769772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(I think Winter is here.

I am so tickled that you'd pick one of my outfits for the blogger challenge ^^ The owl pendant in #1 is from Forever 21, while down in OC actually! Kari also bought it.</p> <p>JR, well you can trust me on the "my area" bit anyway! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1020212729-110304-casual-weekend-looks#post-769769 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 00:45:05 +0000 JR 769769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never been in your neck of the woods, on either side of the border, so I can't comment on that. ;o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1020212729-110304-casual-weekend-looks#post-769767 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 00:44:09 +0000 Aida 769767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Angie I was posting at the same time! I can break out flats sans hose once we're at 60F, but well you know it takes forever to get there; I should probably have said LATE spring, hehe. I'm glad the baggier jeans tucked into the boots work, since nearly all of my jeans are just that way now (though the pair in #2 are borderline BF big now)! My sis and I went through a LOT of shoes before we found the perfect pair, and I am super super happy with them :D</p> <p>(It's WAY cold today, what happened??) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1020212729-110304-casual-weekend-looks#post-769766 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 00:43:27 +0000 Marley 769766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 - WOWZA - I love this. In fact, I think this is going to be one of my "blog inspiration" outfits for next week's exercise. Also, the green in #4 is such a great color for you! I like all of these outfits actually - and as I've said before, you're hair looks so gorgeous on you! What is the pendant in #1? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1020212729-110304-casual-weekend-looks#post-769764 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 00:42:45 +0000 Angie 769764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAHAHAHA!!!!</p> <p>We posted at the same time.

PERFECT for a Seattle Summer - you know how cold it is in Spring so I dare not say a Seattle Spring :(</p> <p>I'm loving the baggier jeans tucked into all the boots. Such a K-word worthy look! I'm going with #7 as my fave because I know that you and your sis share a special bond - and she gave you those flats. So the outfit pulls more at my heart strings. </p> <p>(Did it get cold today or what?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1020212729-110304-casual-weekend-looks#post-769758 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 00:37:37 +0000 JR 769758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was the Canadians because Canadians have better taste.</p> <p>Ahem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1020212729-110304-casual-weekend-looks#post-769756 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 00:33:51 +0000 Aida 769756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the lovely and insightful comments, ladies And I'm very happy to hear that my casual weekend outfits resonate with many of you, I am feeling a lot better about them these days.</p> <p>Asingh, green jeans are surprisingly versatile! I have red and green, and the green gets a LOT more wear for sure.</p> <p>Suz, in short YES it has made a HUGE difference for me. Longer: I think it's due to a couple of reasons. 1) Simply "feeling" like there's a weekend; 2) Makes me feel less schizophrenic about my style during the course of the week; 3) Hubby hates to wait for me to get ready (I'm really slow &gt;&lt;) and prefers a much girlier/sportier/not-layered look than I do, so these tend sit a bit better with him which in turn keeps me from getting too stressed out about dressing on the weekend; 4) I always feel appropriate for our predominantly very casual weekend activities, and if there's a need to dress up? Well I've got plenty of that in my closet, too. It has been just night and day, really. I absolutely plan to continue with it and hone the two styles further. PS: The bar guys were actually all very cordial and polite, but it did make me wonder why it was only the Canadians ;)</p> <p>Astrid, I find that using my cardigans like sweaters is really the only way I wear them these days. I bet you could rock a cabled one like this!</p> <p>Shannon and Pastrygirl, I wish I had a better answer for you on the scarf but I got it from Fred Meyer (Kroger) while grocery shopping!</p> <p>Claire and Una, you got me! Even back in the 90s during my legit grunge era, I wasn't all that grungy. My flannels were neon, my work shirts in bright bright colors, I wore more trousers than denim, and my combat boots were patent with neon laces 0:) At least I'm consistent!</p> <p>Inge, thank you for your sweet and detailed comment! I miss seeing your elegant and amazing outfits, but I understand begin busy I don't think I could've designed a better scarf for me, black/white leopard with burgundy plaid! Someone was reading my mind, clearly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1020212729-110304-casual-weekend-looks#post-769700 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 23:15:10 +0000 Inge 769700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such flair for fashion, Aida, I always love your outfit posts (haven't had much time to comment lately, but I do always look at your posts:-)<br /> This is another great set. My favourites are outfit 1, I love the brown, black and taupish grey together, this look accentuates the colour of your hair so beautifully (love the shorter do by the way), and outfit 5. The ton-sur-ton with the forest green and emerald is fantastic, and that fab scarf works so well with this look. (love it that it's an animal print with red in it). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1020212729-110304-casual-weekend-looks#post-769643 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:40:18 +0000 Ornella 769643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have time to comment much, but </p> <p>OMG</p> <p>number 1, number 1....
