I especially like this first one. Very elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1498065 Fri, 29 May 2015 06:37:55 +0000 CocoLion 1498065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #2, I'm into simple things right now. &nbsp;The pants look great to me, they don't look too big but if you are constantly tugging at them, I know how frustrating that can be (a common problem I have, but am unwilling to do anything about). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1498063 Fri, 29 May 2015 06:19:30 +0000 catgirl 1498063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are so perfect - simple yet interesting and fitted just so.&nbsp; In other words, Sveta-rific.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; I love the first one best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1498020 Fri, 29 May 2015 03:25:45 +0000 Anonymous 1498020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, each of these outfits is beautiful on you. You have a wonderfully stylish uniform. I like 1 as the most striking. Love the silver flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1498015 Fri, 29 May 2015 03:07:45 +0000 Jaime 1498015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You give new meaning to uniform dressing - these all look fantastic, and not at all repetitive. I love the first blouse and #3 is stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497982 Fri, 29 May 2015 02:03:41 +0000 Sveta 1497982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, they are great sandals, aren't they? I thought they are done in because I worn out the tips pretty badly but my cobbler was able to repair them so I will have at least another season out of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497978 Fri, 29 May 2015 01:56:14 +0000 Carla 1497978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, Sveta, you are having a stellar week on the fashion front. So modern looking and complimentary. I'm coveting your footwear, though we are Franco Sarto sandal twins! (3 years and still fab!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497971 Fri, 29 May 2015 01:45:42 +0000 Sveta 1497971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Gaylene</b> - yes, the struggles of "athletic" calves in skinny pants...:-(&nbsp;<br /><b>Carole</b>- exactly, these Editor pants are more fluid on me than slim. On the other hand it may be not such a bad thing for summer...<br /><b>Olivegreen</b>, interesting remark about the plaid and swirls melding with my coloring...especially as swirly top is high contrast and the plaid is low...<br /><b>Marianna, DEB, Daria, texstyle, donnat, Sara L, Rachy</b> - thank you!<br /><b>Janet</b>, I need to talk to my Mom to see if the jeans can be altered a bit. I still love the pattern and colors so it is worth a try.<br /><b>Windchime</b>, you and me both need to go through a crash-course of cropped pants styling. As tall gals it would be such a liberation if we do not need to search for PPL in the full length pants all the time, right?<br /><b>Beth Ann</b> - of course I had to go and use mu blow dryer on that swirly top to follow your tip:-0 As I suspected - not very breathable :-((( but it is a nice trick to have for the future. Thanks!<br /><b>abc</b>, it is just one maple tree in my backyard which gives all that greenery. Actually it is in my neighbor's backyard but it is huge and a half of it in on our side - which I love! (except when we need to rake the leaves in the fall LOL)&nbsp;<br /><b>Suz</b>, I won't be able to wear poly tops in summer if not for AC office so it works. I usually do not buy summer tops in poly but I was so smitten with the style and pattern that I overlooked it..oh well! I wonder if I can use it for social dances if halls have AC - the practice is in the school's gym which does not have much ventilation.<br />As for the lace top - I also plan to wear it casually with shorts on weekends. Why not? Who said that casual cannot be pretty?&nbsp;<br /><b>Angie</b>, I am glad the length of the cropped pants in #3 did not give you a heart attack - or is it why you needed to recover? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497960 Fri, 29 May 2015 01:08:49 +0000 rachylou 1497960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic. I love how all your pieces are just so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497698 Thu, 28 May 2015 16:15:45 +0000 Angie 1497698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I first need to recover from seeing #3 - SO KILLER - before I can comment on the rest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497643 Thu, 28 May 2015 14:01:20 +0000 Sara L. 1497643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great outfits!&nbsp; I love your silver shoes in #1 and the strappy sandals in #2.&nbsp; You have such interesting tops here.&nbsp; The black crops look good to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497642 Thu, 28 May 2015 13:59:38 +0000 donnat 1497642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am blown away with #1 you look like a model, what a fabulous outfit, love the lacy top in #3 as well. All 3 of these looks are awsome. Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497641 Thu, 28 May 2015 13:58:52 +0000 Suz 1497641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, these are amazing outfits! Love them all, and I think you are doing brilliantly with the slim trousers. Nodding along with Janet -- might be worth having your mother do a nip to the waist of the Kuts if they are bothering you. They do stretch out a fair bit, I found.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the fluid swirly top in #1 -- such a beautiful pattern on you! What a shame about the poly. I find it quite frustrating. As Beth Ann says, the quality can vary. But I find for tops at least I have had to give up on it <i>almost </i>100%. I might choose a winter top in poly or a poly blend, but otherwise, never. If I worked in AC it might be different.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 is just gorgeous on you -- the blue is so flattering. Love the unusual pattern mix of the bag with the pants.&nbsp;</p> <p>And #3 is just stunning beyond belief! Wow! I did not order that lace top, thinking I did not have enough occasions to wear it, but now I am wishing that I had done so...sigh...</p> <p>Pants in that outfit look good to me in the pic!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497638 Thu, 28 May 2015 13:49:12 +0000 abc 1497638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! Pretty back yard too, so green and lush. </p> <p>I love those strappy sandals with the plaid pants. </p> <p>I like your usage of toppers to add structure. It's a favorite tool of mine too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497634 Thu, 28 May 2015 13:41:14 +0000 texstyle 1497634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really beautiful outfits, each seems unique to me with the attention to detail obvious, so you've definitely honed in on a fantastic "uniform." I love the sandals in #2 and that lace top and vest is such a great combination. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497632 Thu, 28 May 2015 13:22:55 +0000 Beth Ann 1497632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta:&nbsp; I hear you on the poly/breathability issue!&nbsp; I have found a huge variability in poly fibers --- some work out much better than others.&nbsp; It's the slick/slimy texture that seems to fare most poorly.&nbsp; I did read somewhere that blowing through the fabric would give some indication of how well it would breathe (it's ideal to feel the breath move through).&nbsp; Of course, I find silk to be very uncomfortable to wear.&nbsp; It feels good on the skin, but makes me quite hot, even when it's thin and, well, <i>silky.</i></p> <p>You look terrific in ankle pants -- your legs are beautifully long, and your footwear it modern and attractive -- and I know you work hard on that!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497623 Thu, 28 May 2015 12:39:58 +0000 Windchime 1497623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such good ideas for varying your "uniform" that no one would ever think of it as a uniform--a formula, perhaps, although I think your outfits are too varied and interesting to be formulaic.</p> <p>I LOVE the first outfit and would totally wear the whole thing. The shirt is smashing on you. </p> <p>I, too, am trying to figure out the ideal length of ankle pants--I see people wearing them with several inches of variation--so will be watching to see what others say. They look good to my eye, and I like your oxfords with the outfit. I wasn't sure about that shirt when someone first posted it on YLF, but it looks amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497612 Thu, 28 May 2015 12:13:12 +0000 Janet 1497612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if a uniform works this well, why not? Your style is so consistent and perfect for you, and all of these look great. </p> <p>Couldn't you have the Kut jeans altered a bit to fit better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497607 Thu, 28 May 2015 11:59:35 +0000 Daria 1497607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all great Sveta! I especially like #1 sans topper, and #3. Lovely sandals in #2, and the new cropped pants are definitely winners! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497599 Thu, 28 May 2015 11:43:43 +0000 Deb 1497599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Three great looks! Uniform couldn't look better! Every piece you have selected suits you very much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497596 Thu, 28 May 2015 11:36:46 +0000 marianna 1497596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cropped pants look great, I wouldn't give it a second thought! The blouse in outfit #1 in so striking... what a great print! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497593 Thu, 28 May 2015 11:31:25 +0000 Olivegreen 1497593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look very repeat worthy.<br /> Specially like the blue swirly top and the plaid cropped pants. Just seem to meld with your colouring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497530 Thu, 28 May 2015 03:44:23 +0000 Carole 1497530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Sveta, I love your style of uniform! These are all winning combos but I'm especially in love with 1! The pants, top and topper=perfection. Love your new blouse...so feminine, pretty and classic all in one piece! It's interesting that the editor pants are slim, they look a little more fluid, but I like them...a great functional piece for your business casual capsule! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497528 Thu, 28 May 2015 03:38:14 +0000 Gaylene 1497528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it all! If this is your uniform, you've made a good call because you wear all these pieces so well. </p> <p>I can totally empathize with your calf fitting problems. It's not easy to find a slim pant that doesn't get hung up at the calf, but I think you've lucked out with those Editors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-a-uniform#post-1497524 Thu, 28 May 2015 03:24:41 +0000 Sveta 1497524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is as close as I come to what feels like a uniform dressing. Ankle length pants, fluid top and a topper for structure...I need to wear a skirt tomorrow just to break a monotony! :-)</p> <p><b>pic 1&nbsp;</b><br />I have not worn these drapey pants from BR very often yet so I wanted to wear them again before weather turns too hot. I got this swirly fluid top at Winners last year and like it a lot. I only wish both pants and top were not poly but more breathable fabric WITHOUT A CLING! I especially wished for that in the evening during the dance practice: even without a jacket it was too hot!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>pic 2</b><br />Hot and humid day so no topper. This BR shirt is so nice on the skin - a real pleasure to wear in the heat. Unfortunately these plaid KUT jeans are a bit too big in the top part so they tend to slide down without a belt: I wish I bought size 10 last year and not 12! :-(</p> <p><b>pic 3-4</b><br />This outfit is almost all from this season buys except the bag and shoes. This is not very usual to me but sometimes it happens! I have posted about this BR lace top before and this is its first outing! Love it although I was a bit cold in it at work with the blasting AC: next time I need to layer a sleeved topper for work.<br />These black Express Editor cropped pants are new too: I got them a couple of weeks ago before the business trip when I realized &nbsp;that my warm weather business casual capsule is seriously lacking in bottoms department. I think they are a bit too loose in the upper leg part for slim pants but at least they fit in the calves. This is my usual struggle with slim pants - calf fit! I also turned up the hems a bit to shorten them to what I think is more flattering length. What do you think? Are they JFE or not even that? I am still trying to get my head around the whole cropped pant thing...</p> <p>Thank you so much for looking and as usual all suggestions and comments are very much appreciated! </p>
