I really love your style. </p> <p>I'm sorry about your back.

There's nothing I don't like about it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-515-maximal-dressing#post-620633 Tue, 15 May 2012 22:47:29 +0000 Aida 620633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohmygoodness this is SUCH a wonderful graphic outfit! The pattern mix is awesome, scale and coloring are perfect. I adore the big bold black stripe on the pant leg here, it's almost like a grounding feature for the mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-515-maximal-dressing#post-620610 Tue, 15 May 2012 22:04:40 +0000 Vicki 620610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a beauty in black-and-white patterns. Nicely done, Anna, and your smile says it all.</p> <p>Please take care of yourself and do what you can to treat it and heal in as non-invasive way as possible for now. You may have heard about Robin A. McKenzie and "Treat Your Back" and "Treat Your Neck" and I found a lot of help with the latter when I was pounding the keyboards in my writing job years ago. Maybe, his gentle approach will help you. It's a thin, little book:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Treat-Your-Back-Robin-McKenzie/dp/0959774661" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Treat-Yo.....0959774661</a></p> <p>I loved your YouTube video and sent it to others. It was very inspiring. Thank you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-515-maximal-dressing#post-620606 Tue, 15 May 2012 21:54:48 +0000 Tanya 620606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely stunning Anna! You always have the most amazing outfits and this one is one of your best in my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-515-maximal-dressing#post-620600 Tue, 15 May 2012 21:47:14 +0000 Janet 620600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the B&amp;W mixes! </p> <p>I sympathize with your back problems -- I had back pain for years after busting my tailbone, and I have scoliosis. A physical therapist has helped me a lot recently, as I was starting to experience some pain from running. I hope non-surgical treatments can help you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-515-maximal-dressing#post-620574 Tue, 15 May 2012 21:22:34 +0000 Louise 620574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear about your back problems x loving the pattern mixing very bold but totally works x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-515-maximal-dressing#post-620558 Tue, 15 May 2012 20:43:41 +0000 Jjsloane 620558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the pants and am really digging this pattern combination. Well done.</p> <p>Hope your back issues get sorted out but in the meantime I suspect you will find the coolest flats available. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-515-maximal-dressing#post-620517 Tue, 15 May 2012 19:54:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 620517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All these patterns work perfectly together because of the colour palette - love this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-515-maximal-dressing#post-620465 Tue, 15 May 2012 19:03:41 +0000 Victoria 620465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you combined the patterns! I am not sure I am brave enough to try something like this but it looks great on you:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-515-maximal-dressing#post-620461 Tue, 15 May 2012 19:02:13 +0000 Jonesy 620461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your back situation doesn't sound good, but it's treatable, I hope? I am on the same wavelength as IK about the strengthening stuff, vs. the scalpel approach.</p> <p>Love the outfit! I love plaid paired with other patterns, and you know how I feel about those shoes :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-515-maximal-dressing#post-620446 Tue, 15 May 2012 18:47:23 +0000 ironkurtin 620446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet look, Anna! You have a really great smile.</p> <p>Did they offer any idea on therapies? Like I said in the other thread, back-strengthening yoga has helped some people I know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-515-maximal-dressing#post-620439 Tue, 15 May 2012 18:39:51 +0000 modgrl 620439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet! These pants are so fun! I can see them going with so many different solid colors and graphic patterns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-515-maximal-dressing#post-620427 Tue, 15 May 2012 18:21:16 +0000 Kiwichik 620427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have totally outdone yourself this is one killer look. Hope you can get your back issues resolved but in the mean time if it means wearing funky cool flats like these there is a silver lining to every cloud. Anyway take care of yourself &amp; lots of positive vibes coming you way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-515-maximal-dressing#post-620387 Tue, 15 May 2012 17:31:27 +0000 rae 620387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Anna, I LOVE those pants! Actually, I love everything about this - what a fun way to do b/w. The shoes are absolutely tdf with everything.</p> <p>Pretty big bummer about being off heels - I know I would be, too. At least you were in heels out of preference and not arch pain? Cause you have shown you can still rock a really edgy shoe in flats... think of all the people out there limited to orthopedic styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-515-maximal-dressing#post-620386 Tue, 15 May 2012 17:28:23 +0000 CocoLion 620386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! Sorry about your back problems. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-515-maximal-dressing#post-620384 Tue, 15 May 2012 17:25:24 +0000 Angie 620384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>Everything in this outfit *works* to my eye. The proportions, the colour palette, the textures, the accessories and the silhouettes. </p> <p>Are the shoes comfy? </p> <p>I'm sorry to hear about your back problems, Anna. (((HUGS))). I hope that they are resolved as soon as possible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-515-maximal-dressing#post-620357 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:51:04 +0000 annagybe 620357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zara black and white brocade tuxedo pants. Black/white/grey plaid shirt. Snakeskin tassel loafers (details here <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/snakeskin-tassel-loafers" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....el-loafers</a> ). Multiple cuffs including one that was my secret santa gift from Girl X, chain and pearl necklace. I even put on eyeliner.<br /> Also some of you inquired about my appointment with the spine specialist. I posted it my shoe thread, but I don't think some saw it. The doctor suspected a bulging disc. They took x-rays and they showed some mild scoliosis and compression between two of my lumbar vertebrae, though it might have been between a lumbar and sacral. I very upset by this. Not only am I off heels for a while, but last year I was hiking and skiing regularly, this year I'm not. Although this gives me some hope, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX9FSZJu448" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX9FSZJu448</a> </p>
