I also dress a bit differently on the weekend, nothing wrong with that. These both work fabulously with your eclectic, minimal style. Bring on the different personas </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690744 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 01:32:02 +0000 MsMary 690744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I swear you are getting fabber by the minute! It seems like you are really settling in to your wonderful style in both your worlds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690718 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 01:10:11 +0000 Kari 690718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five! I wondered who else was still wearing their Nine West dress. I so love this on you!</p> <p>The second look is awesome, too - kind of rugged but urban and powerful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690662 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 23:40:47 +0000 Deborah 690662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I a, totally fascinated by that dress. It looks amazing on everyone who wears it! Love both looks on you and I think your personality clearly shines through both. Hmmm might get my cargo skinnies out today/) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690584 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 22:16:13 +0000 JulieJohn 690584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good in both - I see nothing schizo about that! Thanks for fueling my inspiration gas tanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690554 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 21:46:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 690554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab as both Una's!<br /> Different occasions require different styles as far as I'm concerned. I think it's fantastic that you can look this great in either style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690452 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 20:01:51 +0000 Suz 690452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh...such a GREAT dress on you. </p> <p>And this is not style schizophrenia. This is dressing appropriately to the occasion! </p> <p>I see similarities, too. Both looks are simple, letting the lines of the clothes speak for themselves. Both looks are strong. Both involve a bit of looseness or artful draping. </p> <p>And both would look great with sleek black booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690448 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 19:57:17 +0000 CocoLion 690448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think only fashion designers and celebrities (actors, musicians) don't have an element of style schizophrenia. Because it is their job to be themselves all the time, not to put their personas aside and get the job done, like the the rest of us. When I work, at least, the focus is not on me, it is on the customer, so I keep my uniform bland and safe.</p> <p>You look great, and the casual outfit has changed my mind about cargo skinnies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690430 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 19:38:11 +0000 Laura 690430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing wrong with being multi-faceted! </p> <p>I had to get rid of my red version of this dress about a year ago. When jersey pills, you know you've worn the item a LOT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690416 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 19:25:23 +0000 HelenInCanada 690416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are too clever with the wordplay! I like both of these outfits - no reason you can't have different moods, different occasions, different styles! As long as you feel fab in both, yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690414 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 19:20:39 +0000 AJ 690414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that you have more than one dressing style! It makes you more mysterious. : P </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690413 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 19:19:23 +0000 catgirl 690413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, any reference to Linda Hamilton is the biggest compliment EVER!</p> <p>I stay away from politics on this forum, so I took your soldier comment in the spirit it was intended, especially since it's part of my style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690409 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 19:16:19 +0000 Mochi 690409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad it was not a problem! I second-thought it, because there's so much controversy around armies within certain populations (Israel...i was also fascinated when Astrid mentioned once that young people in Germany were much more cautious about donning any aspects of a military-esque look.) </p> <p>You also reminded me of Linda Hamilton in Terminator...she had the coolest vibe there, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690379 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 18:39:09 +0000 catgirl 690379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi, I'm glad you referenced the warrior attitude, though I'm really pretty peace-loving at heart! </p> <p>Yay! Will have to bring out the rest of the personalities now... </p> <p>I'm in love with these Tom Ford knock-offs - too bad they're too cheap to make into prescription sunglasses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690373 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 18:36:20 +0000 harmonica 690373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If that style schizophenia, I want it too!! Amazing outfits both. Love the edge you put forward here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690347 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 18:16:39 +0000 Anonymous 690347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nah, you look fantastic - no neurosis detected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690344 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 18:14:06 +0000 Mochi 690344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second outfit is so awesome it's beyond words. Maybe you should have been born in Israel so you could have been a kickass Israeli soldier girl. The butterfly dress is a sheer delight, too--it looks like a fun departure from your tried-and-true look, one you can play around with when you want a different persona. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690330 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 18:06:17 +0000 Ginny 690330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that dress and the booties are awesome. You look great in both outfits. I think we all have a touch of style schizophenia sometimes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690327 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 18:05:10 +0000 texstyle 690327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is very pretty but I love your look in #2 - seems spot on for you and very fashionable too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690323 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 18:03:08 +0000 Vicki 690323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I love your two worlds and would inhabit either one of them. The colors on that magic dress are divine and I love the casual dinner outfit. THOSE sunglasses, too! I adore how they fit your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690306 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 17:57:22 +0000 Sona 690306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>looking great in both outfits. its really easier to appreciate your outfits when you have the right accessories and are 'styled' up. it does your wiw's much more justice in my opinion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690304 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 17:56:32 +0000 JR 690304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I change up my look all the time. Okay, less so in the summer. But what on earth is wrong with being ladylike one day, quirky the next, and edgy the next? We all have various facets to our personalities, so why shouldn't we let that show? It would be so boring to be locked into one persona all the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690302 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 17:56:27 +0000 san 690302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits look great and I love that you mix it up. That's a beautiful dress on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690300 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 17:56:10 +0000 Vildy 690300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Who cares when you look amazing in both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690291 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 17:53:01 +0000 Kirti 690291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow you look great in both outfits! I think you add a little bit of the Una edge to the dress as well and the second outfit is just SO cool </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690290 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 17:51:29 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 690290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both. I searched for that dress after reading about it here. The colors and cut look great on you. I also really like your neutral casual outfit. I know you are a petite and yet you can wear the ankle boots and look long and lean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690286 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 17:48:56 +0000 rae 690286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I certainly dress differently on the weekends - I see no problem with that! And you still carry some toughness through with your hair and your studded clogs. It's not completely different at all. I LOVE the magic dress colors on you, btw... would be stoked to find similar colors in a galaxy or maybe underwater print! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690278 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 17:43:27 +0000 Heather 690278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most people wear different pieces professionally than they do casually. I think you are really hitting your style stride, Una. Style Sprint!! I loved your thorough epiphany on the subject on your return from the Hamptons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690274 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 17:41:44 +0000 KathyL 690274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous in both the dress and the casual looks. I think we all have facets to our style persona. I don't dress up on the weekends, much, much more casual than my work attire. Not schizophrenic, just varied </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tale-of-two-mes#post-690265 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 17:34:51 +0000 catgirl 690265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1: Worn to work. This is the old YLF cult fave Magic Nine West dress. I pulled it out to see if I still enjoy it, and I do. It reminds me a DVF wrap dress, something I can't wear or afford. </p> <p>#2: Worn to meet a friend for dinner. This is how I would dress all the time, of course. Old j. brands cargos, ON t-shirt, Frye boots. </p> <p>Style schitzophrenia in action? </p>
