Enough said! :-)<br /> I really want to come to Ottawa to go thrifting with you - Prada lace top for $50? Incredible! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-10-12#post-747159 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 14:22:06 +0000 Angie 747159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am humbled to have inspired you, Krish. </p> <p>KILLER!

Thanks for the tips on the stores.... </p> <p>Anyway, your outfit is dynamite and I'm so glad you increased the style quotient in Ottawa for one night. It's a little conservative around here sometimes..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-10-12#post-747111 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 12:32:11 +0000 pil 747111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spectacular! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-10-12#post-747104 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 10:59:17 +0000 krishnidoux 747104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! </p> <p>Suz, if you come here, we'll shop together. </p> <p>Nicole, I got this at a second hand shop in New Edimburg called "Clothes Encounters". They really have nice things, but it's always a hit or miss for me, depending I guess on whose seller came before me. </p> <p>If you come to shop in Ottawa I can only recommend Milk shop on Dalhousie and St-Patrick. This is where I got the MMS clutch and my yellow jacket (below) among other things. There are a couple of other independent clothing shops in that street corner too, and another second hand shop across the street called Young Janes. </p> <p>Another area to shop is Richmond street.</p> <p>And another, Bank in the Glebe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-10-12#post-747087 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 10:00:25 +0000 Anonymous 747087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful look -- you didn't just copy Angie, you put your own stamp on it also! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-10-12#post-747086 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 10:00:07 +0000 Mona 747086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look absolutely gorgeous in this outfit.

I am so glad that you enjoyed the party and felt fabulous in this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-10-12#post-747080 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 09:32:37 +0000 Inge 747080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is just too stunning for words, Krish!! Chic, ladylike and so very, very stunning!!<br /> (also: I didn't have a chance to comment on your new hair colour before, but I think it's absolutely beautiful, striking and extremely flattering with your complexion) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-10-12#post-746983 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 03:11:37 +0000 Kiwichik 746983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I like this even better than Angie's look &amp; I really liked that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-10-12#post-746977 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 02:58:57 +0000 Beth Ann 746977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So elegant and chic.

When I was a youngun there was Barbdorf Gordman and Allegro in the market, in addition to Sally Ann etc.</p> <p>You look gorgeous! Love the blouse and the clutch! Great job IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-10-12#post-746965 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 02:44:09 +0000 TraceyLiz65 746965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so want to recreate this look! You did a wonderful job. How great that you stumbled on that gem while thrifting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-10-12#post-746961 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 02:32:58 +0000 Suz 746961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thrifted PRADA???</p> <p>SHEESH!!! </p> <p>Okay, I need to make a trip to Ottawa and visit you as soon as I get back from my big trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-10-12#post-746952 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 02:17:07 +0000 KathyL 746952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a stunning outfit! I love the lace (thriftef Prada ... Great find!) with the sleeves of that blouse and wide leg pants. Fitted yet voluminous, very nice proportions on you. Husbands can be funny about fashion. I wear pearls with buttoned up shirts often, hope I'm not committing a faux pas too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-10-12#post-746948 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 02:12:25 +0000 krishnidoux 746948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you!</p> <p>Deborah: yes, I thrifted a Prada. For $50. And in my size! I could not believe my luck. They had a couple of lace tops there, but after trying this one, there was no turning back. Later I realized it was a Prada. </p> <p>Suz: Yes, hubbies are unpredictable with what they like or not... I have no idea what mine had against the pearl necklace. I suspect he wanted to see something more flashy there but my whole point was to keep it discreet. In any case he was full of compliments afterwards. </p> <p>Janet: Thank you! Yes, I certainly was the only one there dressed like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-10-12#post-746918 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 01:52:21 +0000 Janet 746918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, just fantastic! I love that it's unique but totally appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-10-12#post-746913 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 01:49:37 +0000 Suz 746913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH my!!! That is K to the POWER of K (in my book). Absolutely stunning! And you look radiant and blooming. What a great interpretation of Angie's beautiful outfit, and how well it suits you! </p> <p>The shape of that boat neck lace is perfection with the wide palazzos, balancing your figure beautifully and drawing attention to your gorgeous face. </p> <p>As for your husband's critique...alas....sometimes our loved ones are a bit behind the fashion times! Perhaps your husband is like mine. He is so unpredictable. Sometimes he will frown and criticize a look that I think is pretty ordinary or certainly not risky in any way. Other times he will cheer out loud at a look that would repel many other men and even causes some women to do a double take! And it's not at all for the reasons one might expect. For example, he loves the BF jeans look. But sometimes a certain set of earrings will give him pause. Something so nondescript that it surprises me. </p> <p>I hope you had a wonderful time at this party; you looked spectacular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-10-12#post-746908 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 01:44:16 +0000 Deborah 746908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did not thrift a Prada top! This is a standout outfit! So beautiful, artful and creative. I adore these proportions a d I love that this is "cocktail" appropriate without being a stereotypical cocktail outfit. I think Angie will be proud of your "brazen" copy cat x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-10-12#post-746902 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 01:38:58 +0000 krishnidoux 746902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tonight we went to a fellow diplomats' house warming party. I was so inspired by Angie's jazzed up black lace <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/10/10/jazzing-up-black-lace/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2012/10/.....lack-lace/</a> that I decided to brazenly copy her look.</p> <p>I swapped the leopard print for metallic studs.</p> <p>I added multiple bracelets to catch a "fashionista" vibe.</p> <p>I added a chocker faux pearl necklace under the buttoned up collar, very discreet, but for which my husband criticized me before leaving the house - saying everybody would say I was an insignificant tasteless Canadian - he was joking of course, but still. He really didn't like the idea, and when asked replied it was because white pearl on white shirt under a _buttoned shirt_ above all seemed like an ultimate fashion faux pas for him. Right. He knows nothing to fashion but loves to correct me about it. I persisted and I think I was right. </p> <p>Shirt: Tristan (from some years ago)<br /> Pearl necklace: Ralph Lauren<br /> Palazzo pants: Kookai<br /> Lace top: Prada (thrifted this week)<br /> High heels: ? Italian, bought 3 years ago<br /> Clutch: MMS</p> <p>I had fun at this cocktail and was not overdressed. A woman there sported the same silk blouse I was wearing yesterday with my green dress (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-10-10-12" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-10-10-12</a>)<br /> and I must say it looked completely different. But it made me feel not that bad for wanting to wear this summer item this late into the season. </p> <p>Thank you for the ispiration, Angie! </p>
