I am also trying with just how little I can 'get away' for my outfit to still feel complete.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point/page/2#post-996407 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 16:40:40 +0000 Beth Ann 996407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are making the most of your shoes, hat and white trousers.&nbsp; You reuse familiar pieces regularly, but still find so many new, pleasing combinations.&nbsp; I love the flow of #2, and the spunk of #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-996281 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:22:09 +0000 Elizabeth P 996281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two fab outfits Ornella!&nbsp; I personally think that #2 could use something at the neck, a scarf, or necklace that comes down past the line of the tee, but that's just me.&nbsp; And that particular type of neckline.&nbsp; Also loving the shoes.&nbsp; In fact, I can almost copy the second outfit :)</p> <p>I didn't realize Shannon had said that about white jeans, but I wholeheartedly agree.&nbsp; I find myself wearing mine to work, NOT on casual Friday, about once a week.&nbsp; I wouldn't dream of wearing blue jeans on any other day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-996262 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:51:18 +0000 Sarah A 996262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear the white bottoms like no one's business. I esp like the waterfall sweater with the purple top. That close colorwheel pairing just sings to me. The studded white leather is very fresh and modern. A fun piece! You imnspired me to put my purple buttondown with my white jeans the other day and I may get ouf a much neglected cardi to try your look here. Thanks for showing me that wearing my simple peices ISNT BORING. I needed this lesson </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-996246 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:41:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 996246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sooooooo loving the metallic touches Ornella - I love how it pairs with white. And of course, you look positively gorgeous in your outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-996129 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 11:05:19 +0000 Lantana 996129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella I love these two outfits so much (as I always do with all your posts) and so I have been on a quest since yesterday to try and figure out how to pin your pix from YLF to my Pinterest board on my iPad.<br /> Failed, I'm peeved to report.<br /> But anyway, you do look just lovely and to balance out the negatives in your week please know that there's lots of good vibes zooming around the forum, some of them, like mine, coming from a loooong way away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-996102 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:08:52 +0000 Hil 996102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if I will be brave enough to don a hat... I do love them! And I love that you got that in the men's section - I have big head issues. You look amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-996090 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 09:30:12 +0000 Jaime 996090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful colors and shapes on you Ornella and very inspiring how you manage to tweak your outfits to suit the occasion without losing your essential style and still looking fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-996060 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:48:48 +0000 rute 996060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both! I've been wearing my white jeans a lot too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-996059 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:44:00 +0000 Ornella 996059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much. Wow. I guess part of me always hopes for the good feedback, but you go beyond that.</p> <p>I have little time to check the rest of YLF, so just a quick few notes, sorry I don't have time for everyone individually.</p> <p><b>Day Vies</b> :: I am <i>sooooo happy</i> to see you again. I hope you and your fab style are back on the forum.</p> <p><b>Aldelfa</b> :: the hat is quite global, from H&amp;M, but from men's dept - I find ladies hats very often small for my head&nbsp;or too detailed or trendy for my needs. But please post your hat by all means :-)</p> <p><b>lyn</b> :: you made me tearful. You remember when I wrote about this top and my mum!!!&nbsp;This whole week has been very emotional for sad and&nbsp;happy reasons both, with news on the blog and&nbsp;off topic, also in my off-line life, and I found myself reaching for two things - the music I was listening as a teenager (!) and the clothes that remind me of my mum. Thank you for being so thoughtful.<br />The shoes are old (4-5 years) and by Slovenian brand Alpina. They are present in your corner of Europe I think. The brand is a good source of very classic styles but&nbsp;tends&nbsp;to be on&nbsp;the frumpy side at times, but once you find the pair&nbsp;that works you can be sure of quality and comfort.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-996036 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 06:41:08 +0000 lyn67 996036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Ornella I want those metallic loafers!(can you tell me the brand? if &nbsp;bought already in&nbsp;DE, only may have that brand here, too:-)<br />Agree that white denim is not denim, by any case!!!!<br />I from my side very seldom can use blue denim to work(except if it's the darkest rinse ever) but I reach&nbsp;for&nbsp;my whites (skirt and pants) all the time, and just love it-so comfy, not overly casual but not overly formal, either. I cannot live without my white denim skirt and jeans anymore!!!<br />BTW-your outfits were&nbsp;perfect for the functions you said. Esp love that you connect purple to your precious&nbsp;Mom(and shared this with us, too). How sweet.:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-996023 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 05:29:03 +0000 Adelfa 996023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have that hat!!! I will have to post it so we can be twins. (I assume it's not the same one because I bought mine in LA and you live in Europe, but it's pretty close.)</p> <p>Second, I have a purple tee, white jeans (which I already wear together) and a blue waterfall cardi which I never would have dreamed of putting with the first two! Wow, I love it. Thanks for the inspiration! You look really great. </p> <p>And I love your bracelets.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-996003 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 04:38:30 +0000 Anonymous 996003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! I especially like #2, but both versions look fabulous for MOTG. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-995940 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 03:05:14 +0000 Anonymous 995940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! I love how you transitioned it to meet your needs. White jeans with these rich colors are so striking on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-995902 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 02:41:53 +0000 Deborah 995902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colours, and #2 is especially lovely. I do like the flowing cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-995758 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 00:01:01 +0000 hedgiehog 995758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, the first outfit is casual and fun, perfect for running errands and coffee. I love the second outfit as well, chic and classy. I love how a few simple changes refreshes an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-995753 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 23:53:09 +0000 Day Vies 995753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both! I guess I wish I could see a better picture of the shoes. The hat is darling! I love you in the white crops. I pinned a pic of you in them with a black top. They are so attractive on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-995746 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 23:44:48 +0000 MsMaven 995746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THE definition of Elegant Simplicity--you in your second photo. &nbsp;Gorgeous. &nbsp;Oh, and I like the first one too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-995713 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 23:02:25 +0000 Caro in Oz 995713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #2 you look great in these colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-995633 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 21:15:04 +0000 cobaltblue 995633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Number one is perfect for meeting a friend, and numer two is just smashing! I love the colors and agree that the metallic loafers couldn't be beat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-995617 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 20:59:33 +0000 Ornella 995617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your kind comments.&nbsp;</p> <p>To think that the cardigan in #2 was bought only because I had store credit I had to use up and there was nothing else I liked at the time&nbsp;... </p> </p> <p>As for the metallic loafers, I already asked the forum whether to keep them quite a while ago, I had no idea what to do with them. The vote was yes, but I had no cure for them being a bit big and therefore difficult to wear. The insoles sorted it all - I love simple solutions.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-995544 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:42:37 +0000 Susie 995544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are both great looks and the colors are so pretty on you. Don't you just love white jeans?</p> <p>I think metallic shoes (and other accessories too but particularly shoes)&nbsp;are so wonderfully versatile. I can't picture any color that would work better with that second outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-995533 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:35:59 +0000 Carole 995533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are both FAB outfits, Ornelia. I can't decide which one I like best, but the purple and blue cardi together is just exceptionally pretty. But then I love ! with the hat and jean jacket, so fun! I'm like you, I tend to repeat favorite items over and over and over. Nothing wrong with that, right?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-995488 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 18:45:49 +0000 Anonymous 995488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both of these -- I thought you looked great in red, but purple and blue love you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-outfits-1-starting-point#post-995484 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 18:40:59 +0000 Anonymous 995484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the playful vibe in #1 and the easy/smart casual in #2.
