That neutral pattern mix is so elegant, and I looooove the bag with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-no-white-this-time#post-967557 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 10:51:16 +0000 Lantana 967557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's a huge amount of fabness going on here. I'm particularly taken with the black and white polka dot outfit. The blue jacket is an unexpected yet delightful pairing.<br /> #5 is faultless, to my eye. Colours, line, texture, proportions - all perfection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-no-white-this-time#post-967546 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 08:36:23 +0000 Kiwichik 967546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I like all these outits - wish it was summer here as I'd copy any one of these in a flash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-no-white-this-time#post-967488 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 04:39:59 +0000 Beth Ann 967488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're looking as amazing as ever, Sveta!&nbsp; 1 and 5 are my favorites.&nbsp; I've been living in my bf's this summer, and you keep giving me great ways to waer them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-no-white-this-time#post-967450 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 03:56:28 +0000 Anonymous 967450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, you always set me up with your stories of feeling haggard or tired or whatever and then I click on your pictures and think, "What is this girl talking about?!!" You look amazing, well-rested and fresh as a daisy in these interesting and different (and inspired) Summer outfits. I'm really happy you kept the silver tote from Danier, and I'm waving at your Monty-bag. That full skirt is right on trend this year, isn't it?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-no-white-this-time#post-967414 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 02:28:22 +0000 Eliza 967414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all, with a special fondness for number 4. Like how you have combined the elements in a classic, yet unexpected way. </p> <p>Great inspirations here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-no-white-this-time#post-967363 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 01:45:29 +0000 Sveta 967363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies for the kind comments!<br />Shannon, I though you have already worn your floral dress with a white denim jacket...maybe it was a light wash jacket? The jacket in #4 is not denim but a fine corduroy I thrifted&nbsp;some time ago and which still survived my frequent purges...<br />Joy, this blue jacket is my&nbsp;most cropped one. As for the deck - sure if we ever finish it: it seems like an awful amount of work right now...<br />Lyn D., the white jacket may work too of course. I guess it is the high neck and neck tie of the polka dot blouse which make it hard for me to pair with the topper: seems too busy somehow...<br />Ceit, Runcarla&nbsp;, Khris, Parsley, Shevia&nbsp;- thanks!<br />Karie, I have a denim vest but it will not save me from AC in my office as my shoulders and arms would freeze.&nbsp;As for the cardigans I don't really wear them, somehow they do not match my current style much.<br />Mona, I have seen Sarah's post but Angie likes hers...if I go to US oon I will order them to be picked up on the border: this way I can return them for free if they do not work.<br />Suz, you are right: whiny me keeps complaining about summer dressing every year, I should stop it! :-)<br />Angie, can you believe that 3 years ago I was sure I cannot wear blue color at all because of my warm coloring? Never say never indeed...<br />Una, you would rock that orange shirt for sure!<br />Caro, thanks for loving my hair </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-no-white-this-time#post-967355 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 01:38:04 +0000 Jaime 967355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab x five! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-no-white-this-time#post-967337 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 01:14:01 +0000 Caro in Oz 967337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fab - I love how you wear total lady-like &amp; casual chic equally well.

KILLER x4! (I am humbled to be copied). CANNOT pick a fave, but it's fab to see you in skirts and dresses again! </p> <p>I love how you found your sweatshirt. A brunette in that shade of blue is too perfect for words </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-no-white-this-time#post-967003 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 12:53:56 +0000 Carla 967003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Shannon. You had me at #1, but #5 is *faint* worthy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-no-white-this-time#post-967001 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 12:44:14 +0000 Suz 967001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Along with Karie, I am hoping that my creative juices will evaporate just like yours so I can manage to look half as fab! These are fantastic outfits. I would also like you to compare them to your outfits 3 years ago. Back then you made the same complaint in the summer. The outfits then were already good...but now they are superlative!&nbsp;</p> <p>I find it tough to pick a favourite here, because all are so perfect. but I adore the dotty blouse full skirt outfit and I think this shape of jacket is perfect with it; also the colour is unexpected and works well. Adore the orange blouse on you. And #2 is also super Urban Princely!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-no-white-this-time#post-966984 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 11:43:53 +0000 Mona 966984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in the orange blouse. Too bad out Costco never got any of these beauties. I was also seriously considering WOW pumps but after seeing Sarah A's report on those in this post&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-report-bella-vita-wow-pumps">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-wow-pumps</a>, I decided not to. I am always cautious ordering shoes online but if you think they would fit you well, I'd say go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-no-white-this-time#post-966981 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 11:33:33 +0000 Karie 966981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish my creative juices would evaporate to the same place yours do! Sveta, you look super fabulous in each of these outfits. I am so copying #1 and #5!</p> <p>As far as other toppers for #4, how about a denim vest (Gap has nice ones), or a short sleeved cardi (JCP and Loft have nice ones). The Gap vest comes in white, regular, and distressed, and the cardi's both come in many different colors.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-no-white-this-time#post-966975 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 10:59:03 +0000 Anonymous 966975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, you look amazing in all of these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-no-white-this-time#post-966957 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 07:29:31 +0000 Lyn D. 966957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After last week's&nbsp;white outfits the pops of red, orange and blue look fantastic!<br />Would your white jacket form pic 1 work with the dotty top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-no-white-this-time#post-966909 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 03:37:34 +0000 Anonymous 966909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you will give us a peek at your deck when it is finished. You had another great week of outfits. My favorite is 3. I really like the shape of the jacket and unexpected blue color. I have a sleeveless black with white polkadots blouse and almost always use my white denim jacket or a white cardi with it for a topper...not very original. For this outfit it feels like you would need to stick to toppers cropped enough for the full skirt.<br /> I love your bright Cosco silk blouse. Our Cosco doesn't have them :(<br /> Happy Canada Day </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-no-white-this-time#post-966902 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 03:13:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 966902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am shamelessly going to copy your first outfit Sveta with my white denim jacket over my black-background floral frock. I never even thought of that!</p> <p>And I love how that 80's denim jacket in outfit #4 is working into your wardrobe so well. I like it with this outfit a lot.</p> <p>Outfit #5 is absolute PERFECTION BTW!</p> <p>And as a complete enabler, I say yes to the Wow pumps.</p> <p>Have a fabulous Canada Day weekend </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-almost-no-white-this-time#post-966894 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 02:46:16 +0000 Sveta 966894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have much opportunities to be on the forum or read the blog these days - my work and building a deck eat all my time - but I am still trying to carve out time to take daily WIW pictures and post weekly WIW posts just to keep myself motivated!<br />After very white&nbsp; last week this week is definitely colorful! Also this was a very hot week and skirts reigned supreme. Nothing really exciting - too hot so all my creative juices simply evaporated :-)</p> <p><b><u>pic 1 Flowers</u></b><br />Simple FFBO formula for summer - sleeveless dress and a cropped jacket: perfect for those hectic mornings!<br />Floral sheath - Long Tall Sally<br />White denim jacket - ON<br />Silver slipper flats - Isaac Mizrahi<br />Old teal tote from Winners</p> <p><b><u>pic 2 Swirls</u></b><br />I wanted to wear a sweatshirt-like top with a skirt for a long time - and now I can. Tried a half tuck with it-&nbsp; what do you think?<br />Swirly cotton skirt - Winners<br />Indigo silk banded top - Le Chateau<br />Nude Fidji pumps<br />Red Chromia satchel - Winners</p> <p><b><u>pic 3-4 Dots</u></b><br />Definitely I was in a fancy mood this day! I like this polka dot top but have hard time finding good toppers to wear with it. I amnot sure if this cropped blue jacket was a good pairing but it was better than any others - and not as hot as denim on 31C+ hot day. I would appreciate any ideas which toppers can work with this top style!<br />Polka dot sleeveless top - Jacob<br />Midi skirt - Spanners<br />Ros Hommerson pointy toe slingbacks<br />Silver tote - Danier</p> <p><u><b>pic 5 Simply orange</b></u><br />This is my new Hilary Radley silk blouse from Costco. It is already a high - low hem but I like to semi-tuck is as well to showcase the belt. I really want to add one more button, this one is too low cut for me! This orangy-red color really makes me happy!</p> <p>Orange silk shirt - Hilary Radley via Costco<br />BF jeans - Gap<br />gold slipper flats - Isaac Mizrahi<br />"Monty cousin" - Winners&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> <b>Observation: </b>last summer I did not wear these bone pointy toe slingbacks at all - and this year I wear them almost every week even&nbsp;though they are not the most comfortable shoes for me. <i> </i>I think it is all Angie's doing because I am such a shameless copycat of hers! Hmm, maybe I should risk those BV Wow pumps after all...</p> <p>Have a great weekend - and yes, it is a long one in Canada!<br />For Canadians - Happy Canada Day!!! </p>
