I actually liked the flares and yellow shirt in original post so will "like" it again. It is sort of loosely reminiscent of the 70's actually. Those were "my" years and the longer cardi with flares and a heel were the thing to do for smart dressing. </p> <p>Your yellow trend these last two days has been fun to see - I think adding the bright in to the looks makes a huge impact. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-70s-steampunk#post-617307 Fri, 11 May 2012 09:55:22 +0000 Jjsloane 617307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I very much like both looks. Hank is too cool for actual clothing.<br /> I wish I could wear shirt dresses yours looks so comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-70s-steampunk#post-617288 Fri, 11 May 2012 07:09:12 +0000 Deborah 617288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great Rae. I really enjoy your style. And I love the way you often add a twist. Very creative and very you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-70s-steampunk#post-617251 Fri, 11 May 2012 05:06:41 +0000 Julie 617251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear the wanton toe didn't stage a full on revolt. Dress looks super with those boots. I have to admit you got me with the last picture, though. Thought I was going to see those super cool boots under the pants. Oh well, maybe next time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-70s-steampunk#post-617238 Fri, 11 May 2012 04:14:25 +0000 ManidipaM 617238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello, colour-coordinated Hank! He's an absolute *pet*, Rae!</p> <p>Very glad to hear the boots are getting broken in. Just tell them they're meant for walking! </p> <p>And I also notice you're developing a neat little grey-brown-citron capsule there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-70s-steampunk#post-617235 Fri, 11 May 2012 03:54:53 +0000 Suz 617235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Subverting the nerd. </p> <p>LOVE this. </p> <p>Can I borrow it?? </p> <p>That's what I want, too!! </p> <p>Hank is so gorgeous. I want him and Max to meet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-70s-steampunk#post-617233 Fri, 11 May 2012 03:52:59 +0000 christy 617233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, those boots are all kinds of awesome. Both outfits are great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-70s-steampunk#post-617228 Fri, 11 May 2012 03:48:43 +0000 Fruitful 617228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I love both outfits! I get an updated 70s vibe from the 2nd outfit actually - I think it's the drape of the cardi over the flares ( and I like the way you have your shirt sleeves long with the cardi sleeves cropped). Hank is gorgeous and coordinates brilliantly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-70s-steampunk#post-617227 Fri, 11 May 2012 03:48:36 +0000 Angie 617227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well there you go! This makes sense </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-70s-steampunk#post-617182 Fri, 11 May 2012 02:41:37 +0000 rae 617182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, the toe got better throughout the day - I guess this is the "break in period"? I've been spoiled with other boots. I may not choose these boots to hike in, like I did with my Julias, but they were very comfy for work after a while. </p> <p>Angie, thank you!! I DO sometimes go UWPreppy, especially to work. Something about subverting the style really appeals to me the same way I enjoyed being a very bookish and "schooly" kid who wore Gene Simmons-esque platformed mary janes. I guess you can call it "subverting the nerd." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-70s-steampunk#post-617164 Fri, 11 May 2012 02:18:40 +0000 Angie 617164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER x2</p> <p>You definitely have a preppy and classic slant to your style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-70s-steampunk#post-617159 Fri, 11 May 2012 02:12:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 617159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great Rae - how did the toe rubbing work out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-70s-steampunk#post-617156 Fri, 11 May 2012 02:11:32 +0000 rae 617156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems it was my USB cable misbehaving, and not my camera (yay, troubleshooting!), so here are better pics of todays outfit, complete with bag and jacket. Thanks to everyone who commented in my earlier thread to reassure me about the boots - they drew some nice compliments today, and I felt like a superhero in them. Some mentioned that the dress reminds them of the 70s, so I have dubbed this outfit 70s Steampunk. The flower power bag doesn't argue. :)</p> <p>Also included is a bonus, mother-son WIW from yesterday. Notice that hank has coordinated to match my two-toned sleeves and cream boots!</p> <p>Target shirt dress - $1 via swap meet<br /> Python belt - $2 via Goodwill Hilton Head (vacation find!)<br /> F21 Blazer - $4 via Goodwill<br /> Jessica Simpson Flower Garden bag - via... I think it was Amazon<br /> Timberland Marge Wood boots - via Ebay </p>
