When I saw Angie post that collection I remembered the beautiful scarab print Tory Burch pieces. I should have known that you had something in that print. I love how you have worked beetles into your aesthetic in such a ladylike way. I also have always admired that ink jacket on you, and I think this is my favorite outfit yet incorporating that piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-39-10-beetlemania-maximal-matchy-matchy#post-1627413 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:17:38 +0000 JAileen 1627413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I saw the beetles I thought of your dragonfly items.

You're just so Killer Cute, Natalie. I could eat you up.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your bold style is a nice juxtaposition with your gentle persona. Rock on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-39-10-beetlemania-maximal-matchy-matchy#post-1627406 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:00:06 +0000 Anonymous 1627406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love the first and second outfits, particularly the second outfit. There are so many little details that I just love like the puffed shoulder on the blazer, the bug print mixed with the print of the skirt and the texture and colour of your clutch. I think it all works because you've kept it monochromatic.</p> <p>I think your style is quite a bit bolder than 5 years ago...I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-39-10-beetlemania-maximal-matchy-matchy#post-1627388 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:03:38 +0000 Ginger 1627388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is SO MUCH FUN! How awesome! Running with a theme is my thing, too. (Except I do it with airplanes...) I don't know that I have a favorite; maybe the second outfit, because (almost) everything is on theme. WOW for the dragonfly shoes. Thanks so much for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-39-10-beetlemania-maximal-matchy-matchy#post-1627378 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 13:31:23 +0000 goldenpig 1627378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funnily enough, I love being covered in bug jewelry, but if they were real bugs I think I would freak out! Tory Burch did say she was inspired by scarabs when she did the Fall 2013 collection with all the beetles and dragonflies. I love those dragonfly pumps but they're 4 inches which is too high, so I always have to bring my turquoise Tory Burch ballet flats as a backup. Too bad she didn't make a 2 inch version! &nbsp;The silver lace up flats did stay laced and on my legs, but since I tied them rather snug they did cause little lines on my feet and calves and were a little itchy. Kind of like when you wear tight socks. But it was worth it. I tried the version without the lace up and it was too big and didn't stay on my feet so I prefer the security of the lace-up version. Angie had posted a Topshop version with heels, but&nbsp;I prefer flats over pumps right now. I don't know about the shiny laces, they seemed fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-39-10-beetlemania-maximal-matchy-matchy#post-1627370 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 13:16:58 +0000 viva 1627370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahhhh - I SO LOVE your WIWs! They are just amazing and playful and really different from my aesthetic but so wonderful to behold. My favorite is the 9-16 series: every single piece of it. Just gorgeous. Super luxe, sophisticated, witty sexy librarian. I love it so so much.</p> <p>And, at the other end of the spectrum, the quiet beauty of 19-20 is just breathtaking. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>How did the silver shoes do during the course of the day? Did they stay tied? Did the ties stay in place on your leg? I wonder about the integrity of those shiny laces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-39-10-beetlemania-maximal-matchy-matchy#post-1627363 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 13:06:46 +0000 Aquamarine 1627363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your patients must love to see you walk into a room!

I couldn't resist the floral and insect theme and had to check it out! Couldn't find the daisy print items in store, but came home with a watercolor floral print skirt. This reminds me of the bias cut floral printed skirts from Ann Taylor and Banana Republic that I used to wear all the time in the late 1990's/early 2000's and only finally got rid of after I joined YLF 5 years ago (see 17-20 for the evidence). And now I'm right back where I started, pastels and florals, LOL. Hello Banana Republic floral skirt, nice seeing you again! How do you like the 2016 version?&nbsp;</p> <p>I knew the beetle earrings and brooch would be perfect with my beetle print shirt. It's a swarm of insects, between the butterflies, beetles and dragonflies throughout these two outfits. Yes, weird and over the top, but you know me, I can't resist a theme! Anything worth doing is worth doing to excess!</p> <p>1-8. White House Black Market ink blue jacket<br />Everlane blush pink sweater<br />Banana Republic floral skirt<br />Banana Republic silver lace up flats (could not resist these--perfect for spring!)<br />Stella and Dot How Does She Do It blue ikat bag (doing a little pattern mixing with the skirt!)<br />Kate Spade butterfly necklace<br />Tildon dragonfly cuff (silver)</p> <p>9-16. WHBM ink blue jacket<br />Tory Burch beetle blouse<br />Tory Burch skirt<br />Tory Burch dragonfly pumps<br />Alexis Bittar dragonfly necklace<br />Banana Republic beetle brooch &amp; earrings<br />Tildon dragonfly cuff (gold)<br />Kate Spade High Line Leica clutch (yes I <a rel="nofollow" href="http://goldenpig.lookfab.com/post/wiw-23-4-handbag-month-origami-sheath-clutch-x2-cobaltpeacock-poppyturquoise">used this already</a> this month but I'm running out of purses and it went best with this outfit)</p> <p>17-20. 90's flashback! YLF newbie WIWs, circa 2011. Hopefully my style has evolved somewhat, but I still haven't changed my love of prints and delicate floral skirts! </p>
