The houndstooth is so classic and fresh all at once, especially as you pair it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-and-15-a-copycat-and-a-version-of-an-old-favorite#post-810613 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 10:14:22 +0000 Kirti 810613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both outfits although the second one is hands down my favourite - super chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-and-15-a-copycat-and-a-version-of-an-old-favorite#post-810514 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 02:48:33 +0000 Karie 810514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE that houndstooth jacket!

Love your interpretation in #2! You improved on the original and made it your own. Your theater outfit is one of your best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-and-15-a-copycat-and-a-version-of-an-old-favorite#post-810472 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 01:12:25 +0000 Anonymous 810472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are piling up in the fainting corner! Both are just delicious and delightful. The houndstooth jacket looks great and not at all boxy. The shoulders look just wide enough to slenderize without invoking any thoughts of the 80's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-and-15-a-copycat-and-a-version-of-an-old-favorite#post-810461 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 01:02:34 +0000 cobaltblue 810461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these. I'm a sucker for houndstooth. And now I'll join Angie in the fainting corner over #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-and-15-a-copycat-and-a-version-of-an-old-favorite#post-810449 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 00:50:41 +0000 amiable 810449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! *clapping* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-and-15-a-copycat-and-a-version-of-an-old-favorite#post-810433 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 00:36:55 +0000 nicoleb 810433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-and-15-a-copycat-and-a-version-of-an-old-favorite#post-810429 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 00:34:33 +0000 Jaime 810429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh and Ahhhhh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-and-15-a-copycat-and-a-version-of-an-old-favorite#post-810424 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 00:32:41 +0000 Transcona Shannon 810424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HOLY CRAP!!!</p> <p>These are both fabulicious! The houndstooth jacket is great, no worries there and I adore it with a yellow skirt - never thought of that (note to self: get yellow skirt). And that second outfit? You look HOT!!! Was anybody even paying attention to the play or were they all staring at you wondering who this gorgeous and stylish woman was? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-and-15-a-copycat-and-a-version-of-an-old-favorite#post-810420 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 00:29:45 +0000 Angie 810420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went straight to #3 and fainted.</p> <p>*faints* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-and-15-a-copycat-and-a-version-of-an-old-favorite#post-810376 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 23:17:50 +0000 deb 810376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the houndstooth jacket! The color combo it great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-and-15-a-copycat-and-a-version-of-an-old-favorite#post-810342 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:47:52 +0000 Nicole D 810342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very successful both times! I think the jacket fits very well. #3 is just wonderful - I love the deep blue with the white skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-and-15-a-copycat-and-a-version-of-an-old-favorite#post-810326 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:30:08 +0000 Suz 810326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are KILLING me. I adore both of these. I need to copy your copies, STAT!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-and-15-a-copycat-and-a-version-of-an-old-favorite#post-810290 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 21:24:31 +0000 moira 810290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, once again, you take the inspiration picture and make it more interesting with your own natural eye towards color.<br /> The jacket does not look boxy,. There is a taper at the waist and the cut of the front is very waist flattering. # 2 is perfect for a theater matinee, casual but with a festive nod.<br /> I just love that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-and-15-a-copycat-and-a-version-of-an-old-favorite#post-810278 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 21:01:38 +0000 tarzy 810278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is making me crave the spring; you look great! Love #3 as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-and-15-a-copycat-and-a-version-of-an-old-favorite#post-810275 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 21:00:26 +0000 catgirl 810275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The houndstooth jacket! Fab copy and to think I was there for the purchase! I do not think it's too wide; in fact, it looks better and less boxy than I remember.</p> <p>That said, I ADORE your second outfit - it is supercool and flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-and-15-a-copycat-and-a-version-of-an-old-favorite#post-810272 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:58:46 +0000 MsMary 810272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1/2. Three work days into the new year, and this is the second copycat look! I may be batting only .3333 for originality, but I am batting close to 1.000 for outfit happiness! I would never have put this combination together on my own but I was pretty happy with it! Thanks, <a href="http://www.bravoerunway.com/2012/12/hounstooth-fever.html">Bravoe Runway!</a></p> <p>Houndstooth knit jacket: Ellen Tracy via Marshall's (from Shoptoberfest!)<br /> Green pullover: Amber Sun<br /> Yellow pencil skirt: Halogen<br /> Black patent pumps: Madden Girl<br /> Black tote with gold studs: Coach via eBay</p> <p>Even though I was happy with the overall outfit, I'm not 100% sold on the fit of the jacket. It was a little big all over and I had it taken in, but now I think it looks disproportionately wide in the shoulders. What do you all think?</p> <p>3. Yesterday (Saturday) we went to a matinee of an amazing play ("Other Desert Cities")and I busted out a variation of an old favorite -- black sequined tank over white jeans and my new Foxcroft faux chambray shirt. Added the daytime clutch per Angie's inspiration and was really happy I did because the attendant in the parking structure complimented me on it while Mr. K was parking the car! Pre-YLF I would never have worn sequins in the daytime but I felt great in this outfit.</p> <p>White skinnies: Kut from the Kloth<br /> "Chambray" shirt: Foxcroft<br /> Sequin tank: JC Penney via eBay<br /> Black patent pumps: Jessica Simpson<br /> Faux snake clutch: Veronica M (local boutique)<br /> Dangly earrings: Marketplace in Cambodia</p> <p>Thanks for looking! Would love to hear your feedback, especially re: the houndstooth jacket! </p>
