It's fun to see how varied the favorites&nbsp;are ^^</p> <p>Suz, I looked back through all of these and thought "would it still work if I was blonde?" but I'll spare you that graphic While it's true that my dark hair is helping offset the dark elements in each of these (and adds some good contrast), I think that they still would work with light hair.&nbsp;In #1, the hat/shirt/shoes black bookend. In #2 the red bookends, and the black from the blouse is repeated in the jacket buttons. In #3 the darker skirt is surrounded by big swathes of light. In #4 the tall boots along with the boots/vest bookending draw the eye vertically. And in #5, well that's the only one I thought might be tricky but I've a hunch the light jacket/top/shoes would be enough to offset. And I'm sure your taupe boots are just around the corner!</p> <p>Mary, I think I just need to use softer blouses with the furry vest. That blue one is rather stiff so it doesn't always drape or layer well. But I do love that color combo!</p> <p>Lantana, Joy, and Lisa, thank you for the detailed feedback, I really appreciate it!</p> <p>E, 58F in mid November is quite out of the ordinary here in the PNW! In fact, we probably won't hit that temperature again until June -_- Looking forward to seeing the results of boxy tops and full skirts experiments!</p> <p>Isabel, my hair is even darker than yours and I find my light boots super versatile, perhaps even more than my dark boots. You don't need to have a huge&nbsp;amount of light in an outfit, either;&nbsp;having any light element on the top half OR showing some skin (face, forearms) is often enough additional lightness. Adding light accessories can help, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15/page/2#post-1093306 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:42:53 +0000 rachylou 1093306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know my fave is the one with the fuzzy vet. I love it when you do groovy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15/page/2#post-1093161 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 15:13:54 +0000 Isabel 1093161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY !!!! &nbsp;It is just so wonderful to see you again. I think of you so often.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look fantastic. &nbsp;One of my all time fave color combos is navy/dark blue and black. So I LOVE the first pic. &nbsp;But then I love the second and the third....LOL. &nbsp;That fur vest outfit is also awesome and gives me the idea to wear mine with my light boots. I never know what to do with those boots because my hair is so dark. &nbsp;But you just solved the problem. &nbsp; : )&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15/page/2#post-1093143 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 15:00:58 +0000 Lisa 1093143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like you added from excellent purchases from NAS.&nbsp; That's when you know your style and wardrobe are set, when NAS comes along and you can be very selective and add in real key, wardrobe updating items.<br />#1-I may have to steal those trousers, what a fun print, yet not too crazy in color and pattern.&nbsp; They look perfect for remixing with neutrals and a bright pop of color.<br />#2-Gorgeous mix of reds here.&nbsp; How fun are those red shoes and that blazer together, a great pairing!<br />#3-Pretty twirly skirt.&nbsp; I can't wait to see it remixed with some taller boots, fun hose and knit on top when the weather cools.<br />#4-Another great pairing of footwear and topper here, this time with the light boots and the light vest.<br />#5-Pretty mix of shapes here and clever layering.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1093130 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:51:20 +0000 texstyle 1093130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another who missed your fab style Aida - love all of these but esp. #4 and then #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1093039 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 13:16:12 +0000 Anonymous 1093039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a treat to have you post your fabulous outfits!<br /> I can't pick a favorite. It feels like you have added an element of glamour to your style, while keeping the adventure and fun.<br /> 1: the pattern mixing makes my heart sing as well as the black/navy colors.<br /> 2: The red jacket is stunning on you. This is a great example of PPL and bookending the jacket with red pumps.<br /> 3: young and flirty and more masterful pattern mixing, plus gorgeous white pumps. Happy *sigh*<br /> 4: Each piece shines...the cobalt silk, the delightful furry vest, gorgeous boots, adorable clutch. Fun and glam.<br /> 5. So pretty without being saccharine. Feminine yet a bit tomboy with the black jeans. Gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1093024 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 13:06:45 +0000 E 1093024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad you're posting outfits again! :)&nbsp;I love the silhouette in 5 and the matching shoes and jacket in 2. 3 is such an interesting combination: I think it really works and now I'm tempted to start playing around with my full skirts and boxier blouses. But I had to giggle when you described 58 as warm: from my perspective in south Texas&nbsp;that's a rare cool day that lets me wear my woolens without having a heatstroke! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092977 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 11:42:38 +0000 kkards 1092977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh my, i love them all! that red blazer in #2, fab, fab, fab! and i love the way you paired it with bootcut jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092970 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 11:28:03 +0000 Joyce B 1092970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have some fabulous outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092963 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 11:06:00 +0000 Lantana 1092963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are a treat Aida.<br /> Interesting pattern mixing in #1 with the chic shoes adding just the right amount of pizazz.<br /> Matchy matchy fan here so I love the red shoes in #2.<br /> #3 is very clever and deceptively simple. Only two pieces yet the construction of both top and skirt provide a lovely array of lines and angles.<br /> In #4 do I spy a tiny pop of orange in the pendant too?<br /> I love the controlled volume and drab-defying palette of #5.<br /> Wonderful photography too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092892 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 05:51:21 +0000 catgirl 1092892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with MaryK.&nbsp; Love it all.&nbsp; So good to have you and your inimitable style back on the forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092876 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 04:57:10 +0000 MsMary 1092876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fab!&nbsp; I know you said it wasn't all that practical, but the furry vest look is my fave!&nbsp; And I love the pants in #1.&nbsp; Heck, I love it all!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092873 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 04:48:32 +0000 Liz A. 1092873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So funny how the favorites are spread out. &nbsp;Guess it just goes to show they're all winners. &nbsp;I love 2 and 4 especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092815 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 03:38:20 +0000 Neel 1092815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the fur vest outfit! &nbsp;Unexpected color combos and yet works brilliantly well! &nbsp;YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092809 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 03:28:26 +0000 Sveta 1092809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, I cannot say how much I missed your outfits. I am SOOOO glad you are back!!!<br />It is hard to pick a favorite but I would go with the last one. This blush moto has my heart every time I see it and that sequin oversized top is all kinds of awesome (and a serious top envy here) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092803 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 03:23:21 +0000 Suz 1092803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bookending with dark and light -- instruction manual here! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Seriously, though, I do envy your colouring that allows you this freedom to play in both directions! Uh...not to mention, your tall taupe boots!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Love all of these, but #2 and #3 just wow me. Gorgeous.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092793 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 03:15:18 +0000 Jaime 1092793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the variety yet cohesiveness of your style Aida! Wow, not sure I can pick a favorite but the skirt totally works and I love the pants in #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092707 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:38:23 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1092707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't even begin to tell you how thrilled I am to see you post again Aida! I'm so in love with your style and just drink in the eye candy your outfits provide.</p> <p>These are all fab but #5 tops them all for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092697 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:33:27 +0000 Aida 1092697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the comments, ladies! I really appreciate them.</p> <p>Kelly, hah the white pumps seem to be rather polarizing! I get all kinds of different comments about them ^^</p> <p>Angie, thank you! I do fight the 70s occasionally and sneak some 80s in there (my other love), but I don't think there's any way for me to shut the 70s off entirely. I'm at a bit of a struggle for this season with it though, not much is catching my eye but I am in great need of updating many pieces&nbsp;:\</p> <p>Pil, ooh I hadn't really thought of #5 in a holiday context but that's a great idea. I'll have to keep it in mind for upcoming events.</p> <p>Rae, I picked up&nbsp;this <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/mural-quilted-bomber-jacket/3529277?cm_ven=Linkshare&amp;cm_cat=partner&amp;cm_pla=10&amp;cm_ite=1&amp;siteId=fV7QgDWUWe0-H3FOKipzAT66UbwsFDl5Iw" rel="nofollow">bomber</a>, <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-camuto-faux-leather-trim-mixed-print-blouse-nordstrom-exclusive/3496296?origin=stylenumsearch" rel="nofollow">blouse</a>, <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/guess-asymmetrical-textured-wool-blend-faux-leather-coat/3496722?cm_ven=Linkshare&amp;cm_cat=partner&amp;cm_pla=10&amp;cm_ite=1&amp;siteId=fV7QgDWUWe0-7oGkDapVMrR8vBYA5fPuHw" rel="nofollow">wool coat</a>, and <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/guess-double-breasted-textured-wool-peacoat-online-only/3494030?origin=stylenumsearch" rel="nofollow">peacoat</a> (which might be too big, still undecided).

Number 4 is especially fun and the colors in number 5 look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092545 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 00:48:20 +0000 rae 1092545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My faves are 1, 4, and 5! I really adore how the furry&nbsp;vest matches your boots! New meaning to bookending your hair. :)</p> <p>Excited to see how you wear your other NAS items! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092539 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 00:43:54 +0000 pil 1092539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice to enjoy your WIWs again! The peep of red toe in 2 is fun and 4 is so sumptuous woth that vest. I'm seeing 5 as holiday wear with the sparkle, heels and blush. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092523 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 00:34:10 +0000 Angie 1092523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2, #3 and #4. All killer. It's fabulously fun and unique to see you stick to your '70s style persona. I truly like that best about your style, Aida.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092466 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 23:41:50 +0000 Thistle 1092466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All are terrific, but I am wowed by #5! Love the color, the proportions, and the bit of sparkle. Sorry, hopeless magpie here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092452 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 23:33:52 +0000 Carole 1092452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun to see some Aida WIW's!!! I haven't been able to devote much time around YLF lately but I did miss you around here. Your outfits are fab as ever, especially love the furry vest ensemble!!! YLF!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092449 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 23:31:08 +0000 kellygirl 1092449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I love 1 and 4. I love the black/blue combo and the slouchy hat is just so cute. Great fur vest in 4--it's dramatic and so fun. YLF in all of these though. I also think the matchy-matchy of 2 is pretty awesome. It's kind of MaryK--the bold use of color and the blazer. You can definitely wear the skater skirt--I'm not 100% sold on the white pumps but I think that's a personal allergy. Gorgeous blush/black jacket. I like how you paired it with white/silver. So nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1111-15#post-1092445 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 23:24:57 +0000 Karie 1092445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic outfits. My fav is #1.

I'm with Deb, my favourite is also #2. </p>
