I think the shoes make the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-816-sleeveless-top-and-vest-the-skirt-version#post-1333366 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 15:57:26 +0000 Tanya 1333366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies!</p> <p>Dianthus, I haven't tried to fix the vest lapel issues yet, but when I do I will report the outcome.<br />Joy, thank you for the scarf input!&nbsp; I don't thrift, but I will check out men's pocket squares next time I am in one of bug department stores, very clever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-816-sleeveless-top-and-vest-the-skirt-version#post-1333264 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 13:58:57 +0000 Anonymous 1333264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, I have found most of my small silk squares thrifting. I also once came upon a big sale of men's silk pocket squares in a variety of colors (plain). They are a bit on the small side but still work for me folded on the diagonal.<br /> If you can use cotton, look at the cotton napkins at William Sonoma and Ten Thousand Villages. I run them through the wash several times to soften them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-816-sleeveless-top-and-vest-the-skirt-version#post-1333236 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 12:50:28 +0000 Suz 1333236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great interpretation! I love how this one is a bit more hard-edged even with the feminine shoes and skirt. I hope Sveta's trick works with the vest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-816-sleeveless-top-and-vest-the-skirt-version#post-1333231 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 12:30:55 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1333231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice interpretation Tanya. &nbsp;I don't think you need to have the exact pieces and like that you used items you already had to make the outfit.</p> <p>I went looking for a vest yesterday and all the motos I tried did the same thing so I came home vestless. &nbsp;Could you report back on whether you succeed? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-816-sleeveless-top-and-vest-the-skirt-version#post-1333157 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 06:13:22 +0000 Neel 1333157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cool!! I really love the vest closed! But I understand how it can be bothersome. I am with Sveta. You could probably lay it out the way you want under your bed mattress one night (hopefully the mattress is not too heavy!) It should be good the next morning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-816-sleeveless-top-and-vest-the-skirt-version#post-1332870 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 22:54:32 +0000 Angie 1332870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer Gorgeous. The ankle strap sandals give the denim skirt lots of pizazz. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-816-sleeveless-top-and-vest-the-skirt-version#post-1332849 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 22:26:31 +0000 catgirl 1332849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have used fashion tape to get leather panels to shape - sometimes it's not strong enough though.</p> <p>Love your outfit hard! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-816-sleeveless-top-and-vest-the-skirt-version#post-1332786 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 21:28:09 +0000 Tanya 1332786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Joy and Frannie.</p> <p>Joy, the leather is on the warmer side but it is a cooler day today so it works perfectly.&nbsp; Glad you like the scarf!&nbsp; I would like to build a small collection of small silk ones but as you say, it is very difficult to find them, even more so&nbsp; in patterns that appeal to me,. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-816-sleeveless-top-and-vest-the-skirt-version#post-1332781 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 21:23:43 +0000 frannieb 1332781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-816-sleeveless-top-and-vest-the-skirt-version#post-1332776 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 21:14:01 +0000 Anonymous 1332776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was hoping you would post another vest outfit today and this looks great. Is the leather too warm? I don't have a leather vest or even jacket with lapels like this, so no advice. I wear small square scarves a lot, so thank you for the scarf link. They are hard to find right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-816-sleeveless-top-and-vest-the-skirt-version#post-1332769 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 21:08:25 +0000 Tanya 1332769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Sveta!&nbsp; The leather is soft but fairly thick.&nbsp; I am going to try your method and see if it works.&nbsp; I am probably going to leave the weights on overnight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-816-sleeveless-top-and-vest-the-skirt-version#post-1332768 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 21:06:51 +0000 Sveta 1332768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it - nicely done!<br />Is the leather soft? For my jackets I just fold the lapels and put some weight on them for some time and they mold to the folds - but they are very soft and fine leather. If the leather is think it may not work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-816-sleeveless-top-and-vest-the-skirt-version#post-1332763 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 21:01:08 +0000 Tanya 1332763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I mentioned yesterday, I am trying out the second version of Angie's vest ensemble today.&nbsp; I do not own a navy pencil skirt, so I went with my super old denim skirt. Added a simple black tank and a black leather moto vest, plus ankle-strap black&amp;white mini wedges.</p> <p>I am bugged by the vest, the lapels won't stay open like in the stock photo and keep closing like in mine.&nbsp; Does anyone know how to deal with this?</p> <p>As always, all the comments and input are welcome! </p>
