Thank you. <br /><b>kkards</b>, thank you. I know what you mean. I am not crazy about a lot of the fur vests out there, either. So many different colors and textures, before we even consider the actual style and fit. . .<br /><b>Una</b>, you don't have a faux fur vest? I think if you found the right one you would have quite a few things to go with it. Not sure I'm ready to sew for others-- especially long distance! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-silhouettes-new-booties#post-1405000 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 00:20:59 +0000 catgirl 1405000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun!&nbsp; My faves are 3 and 7 - I need to remember a fur vest with dress.&nbsp; Can i commission a fur vest?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-silhouettes-new-booties#post-1404896 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 19:37:21 +0000 kkards 1404896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love all of these, but that black dress with the fur vest--i'm suprised how much i like that because fur vests usually aren't my thing! what a great week you had. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-silhouettes-new-booties#post-1404877 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 18:58:57 +0000 Vicki 1404877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker, not only do you know how to challenge yourself with different silhouettes, successfully, you managed to alter the silhouette of your Austrian coat! &nbsp;Amazing, and I really like them all, especially&nbsp;7 and 8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-silhouettes-new-booties#post-1404875 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 18:54:49 +0000 Angie 1404875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*happy dance*&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-silhouettes-new-booties#post-1404872 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 18:52:53 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1404872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peri, how funny--and nice of you! </p> <p>Angie, thanks. Yes, I'm wearing them a lot. I did wear my others a couple of times this past week. Otherwise, it's been the new ones ever since I got them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-silhouettes-new-booties#post-1404845 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 17:14:21 +0000 Angie 1404845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You gorgeous arty creature. (Are you wearing your new specs regularly?)</p> <p>I love #1, #6, #7 and #8. You are chic. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-silhouettes-new-booties#post-1404592 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 01:07:58 +0000 Peri 1404592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow again. I always look at the pictures before I read. My favorite is the dress and fur vest, and I was thinking "I wonder where that dress is from. And what a great vest, where did she get that".</p> <p>Duh...same answer as all my favorites! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-silhouettes-new-booties#post-1404587 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 00:58:39 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1404587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Crutcher</b>, I just love the feel of it the sweater on.&nbsp; I'm not sure how well it will wash, or whether the fuzziness will start pilling. But for now it's very cozy.</p> <p><b>Suz</b>, thank you! I was not in the market for black booties. I was trying on some Vince Camuto booties in a taupe-based animal print, on sale. They were cute but I knew I couldn't wear them for a full day at work, so they wouldn't fulfill their purpose. I told the sales associate how much love my Paul Green metallic peep-toe booties (Tacey), and said I would like to find a winter version of that bootie. He brought these out, and I thought, no, not black. But they have that little gray turn-down cuff! And they feel awesome on. That's all she wrote, as my mother says. Ha ha! So I'll wear them for several years, I'm sure. </p> <p><b>Jackie</b>, thanks for your encouragement and thumbs-up on the coat.</p> <p><b>Retailgirl</b>, that's such a neat story about the Lodenfrey coats. I didn't realize they were a known brand beyond Europe. I have very fond memories of picking mine out and wearing it in Germany, where I was living at the time. It was quite a splurge for me. I doubt I'll part with it for many more years. </p> <p><b>Claire</b>, you are too kind! It's the jeans, I swear. I think they are magic. I am finally really getting to enjoy these jeans. I put off hemming them for a while. And then of course, I want dry days for them. We've had a lot of dry, cold weather, and I don't mind it as much when I have some fab wider-legged pants to trot out!</p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-silhouettes-new-booties#post-1404580 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 00:32:50 +0000 Anonymous 1404580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good Sharan! All I can say is you look amazingly fabulous in those baby bootcuts, boots and belt in #8 and 9. You need to wear those whenever you're not working. Man, what a body you have, and these show it off to perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-silhouettes-new-booties#post-1404576 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 00:25:34 +0000 retailgirl 1404576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that Lodenfrey coat...it's timeless. My father bought me a Lodenfrey coat in the early 1960's. Dark loden green, pewter buttons. I loved it. Several years later, I bought one ( with my hard earned summer job money) to take with me to college. Yellow with dark green trim and a print challis lining. It was $80.00 in 1967. Wish I still had it! All your outfits look great, and look good on you. There's just enough of a personal style element to make your looks distinctive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-silhouettes-new-booties#post-1404572 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 00:17:05 +0000 jackiec 1404572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS - and YES your last coat seems totally in style now! I had to go back to re-read your comments - it looks like the cocoon coats trending now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-silhouettes-new-booties#post-1404571 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 00:15:34 +0000 jackiec 1404571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits as usual! I love that fun sweater with all the different buttons - wow! And your all black with the fur vest look is stellar. I am nodding with Suz about your footwear </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-silhouettes-new-booties#post-1404554 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 23:35:40 +0000 Suz 1404554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in every one of these outfits and this is definitely a lot of variety in silhouette! Plus, I cannot get past those gorgeous booties!</p> <p>Paul Greens seem to be exceptionally good for you, along with Donald Pliners. You have a fantastic and well thought out footwear collection to go with your incredible wardrobe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-silhouettes-new-booties#post-1404538 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 22:44:04 +0000 crutcher 1404538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been looking at/drooling over the FP Out of Africa cardigan...You style that so well and make me want it even more... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-silhouettes-new-booties#post-1404529 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 22:25:27 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1404529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like a lot of other fabbers, I've been inspired by Una's <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-silhouette-rotation" rel="nofollow">5-silhouette challenge</a>. While I haven't actually taken up the challenge, I decided to analyze what I'm wearing in terms of silhouettes. I am posting 4 days of WIWs here, and I see that I have 3 silhouettes. </p> <p>Sat: long cardigan over slouchy pants <br />Sun: boxy top over bootcut pants<br />Mon: bodycon dress with topper<br />Tue: boxy top over bootcut pants (again)</p> <p>The outfits:<br />1-3 (worn for a day off and shopping): faded boyfriend jeans (Fidelity); black waffle knit tee (2 Dog Island); black, brown, and camel fuzzy animal print cardigan (Free People); tan belt (Trafalgar); black suede booties (Paul Green). True confession: I bought the booties on Saturday and wore them out of the store, for several more hours of shopping with a friend. Love them! I wore them as in #1, but tried them as in #3 for fun, and to show you the gray contrast turn-down cuff on the booties. I might wear them like that sometime, with the pants rolled above them--what do you think?</p> <p>4-6 (worn to work and for family gathering in the evening): charcoal gray ponte bootcut pants (NYDJ); gray merino pullover (Eileen Fisher); burgundy, gray, and gold plaid matelasse asymmetrical vest (made by me); black suede booties (Paul Green); ombre plaid coat (MICHAEL Michael Kors); charcoal felt asymmetrical fedora (Asian Eye); black satchel (Elliott Lucca, Olvera).</p> <p>7 (worn to work): dark espresso brown ponte knit shingle dress (made by me); faux fur vest (made by me); black tights; black wedge boots (Pikolinos). You can't see the shingle design in the dress in this photo, but it's kind of like the Vince Camuto or Bailey 44 bandage dresses; here's <a href="http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v8904-products-46645.php?page_id=4450&amp;search_control=display&amp;list=2" rel="nofollow">the pattern</a> I used. </p> <p>8-10 (worn for a day off &amp; errands): dark wash bootcut jeans (Hudson, Beth baby boot); white long sleeved tee (Caslon); boxy green and blue arty handknit cardigan (Amy Brill); taupe nubuck booties (Paul Green, Jano); brown belt (B Low the Belt); charcoal wool cocoon coat with green wool trim and cuffs (Lodenfrey); black satchel as above. I bought this coat in 1992, in Austria. I brought it out a couple of years ago after many years of not wearing it, and reduced the ginormous shoulders. Still didn't feel like wearing it. But now I think it's almost stylish again. What do you think?</p> <p>Thanks for looking! I always welcome your thoughts and suggestions. </p> <p> </p>
