It's more polished and professional. Convertible trench? I'm intrigued...tell me more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-year-ago-today-2#post-541153 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 03:18:24 +0000 Transcona Shannon 541153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket in this year's version - very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-year-ago-today-2#post-541151 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 03:16:56 +0000 rae 541151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, all. I got some compliments on the AllSaints jacket today at work, which was nice. I think the retrospective challenge may have held me back a little, too, which is interesting. Before I knew I'd be interpreting last year's outfit, I wanted to pair the trench with a bright collared shirt, pencil skirt, and some edgy boots. I like what I wore today, too, but it is still more conservative than I like because the slacks hide the boots and most of the citron top is covered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-year-ago-today-2#post-541090 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 02:04:51 +0000 Jaime 541090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These comparisons are great. There is nothing wrong with last's years version but this year you just up the style quotient and make it wow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-year-ago-today-2#post-541088 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 01:54:42 +0000 nicoleb 541088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Out with the old in with the new! I like the 2012 version better also. I love looking back at these kinds of photos though. Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-year-ago-today-2#post-541029 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 00:56:36 +0000 Beth Ann 541029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love color, but I, too prefer the 2012 version. Citron and gray is a very sophisticated combo, but nicely understated for the office. I'm trying to buy a little better quality in my footwear, too, Rae. I've decided my feet deserve it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-year-ago-today-2#post-540887 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 22:05:51 +0000 Anonymous 540887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the 2012 pants and trench. Super cute and wearable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-year-ago-today-2#post-540713 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:46:27 +0000 Meredith1953 540713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your style is very nice in the first pic but gorgeous in the second shot! Those pants in #2 fit you like a glove and the gray and yellow together are beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-year-ago-today-2#post-540650 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:11:56 +0000 Tina 540650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love today's outfit Rae! That trench is very fab and I like the fit of these pants better than last year's pic. You look gorgeous:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-year-ago-today-2#post-540641 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:47:36 +0000 MsMary 540641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that trench is super-fab! You look amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-year-ago-today-2#post-540634 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:44:45 +0000 rae 540634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Kelly, I was getting ready to donate that mint jacket, but maybe I will play around and try to UWP it up. It is not a fabric that will ever be crisp, but maybe it has a place on Fridays... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-year-ago-today-2#post-540627 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:38:09 +0000 kellygirl 540627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything is just so perfect now! The pants fit you like a dream and I love the sassy, cropped grey jacket with the citron. Wow, Rae, you look awesome!</p> <p>ETA: That mint jacket will be great for some spring pastel looks too : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-year-ago-today-2#post-540622 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:32:20 +0000 Queen Mum 540622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this years version! You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-year-ago-today-2#post-540616 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:26:33 +0000 Jilly 540616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cut, as usual! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-year-ago-today-2#post-540584 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:52:22 +0000 rae 540584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only the citron top carries over from the original outfit, but thankfully not *all* because of fit issues. Differences: </p> <p>- My style has evolved to a place where I'm more interested in softening my brights, plus I'm working on bringing UWP to the office, so I've swapped the turquoise blazer for this All Saints convertible trench jacket. </p> <p>- Aside from the fact that the original pants are too small, I've also gotten much pickier about fabrics. Nothing irritates me more than wrinkled bottoms, so I'm trying to stick to manmade materials these days. </p> <p>- You can't tell, but the original boots were a really cheap Ebay buy - $20 for a pair of sleek, mid-calf boots I wanted to go under pants. They were great at the time, but the synthetic linings have started to bother me with the close fit of these boots. Out they go, and in come my UWP boots, chosen for love for their look-at-me details but used under pants as well because the are just versatile like that. It's a new era of paying more for quality and versatility versus spending less but looking to fill every niche individually. </p> <p>The original outfit may have been more spunky and Spring-y, but I definitely feel better in today's! </p>
