Sending healing thoughts to Dad.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the folksy blouse. Retro. You look killer in outfit #1. My fave of all the fabulous outfits.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this/page/2#post-1582013 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 03:44:35 +0000 Meow 1582013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I'm a visual person, I went straight for the pictures. I was WOWed! Your long legs look amazing. I'm going to rush out and try flares. </p> <p>The only outfit that gave me pause is the coulottes. I'm not sure why - maybe because they're white and the hemline shows? Maybe they're a tad too short? Maybe it's the boots? Maybe it's because the coulottes seem light weight and the boots are heavy? uhg. I lack the skills to disect outfits. I can critique but not create! Isn't that aweful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this/page/2#post-1581976 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 02:35:13 +0000 Sveta 1581976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for your kind comments. ladies! :-)<br />OK, the combined YLF wisdom confirmed that I can wear this <b>blouse</b> in public so I will! Carla, I may just try it with the white culottes.<br />For those who like it better without the vest: this is how I wore it for the most of the day because it was very warm. The vest went over just in the morning and at some point during the day when I was feeling cold.&nbsp;<br />Yes, I will try different boots with the<b> culottes</b> next time - I am not ready to give up on them yet. Stay tuned!<br /><b>Jules</b>, I ordered the rust pants online - only black were available in our store. I tried black on for sizing and ordered rust online. The only problem is that online it is more expensive as the price is the same but in US$ but I got a discount so it was not too bad. I see they are back in stock for some sizes, hopefully you can get yours.<br /><b>Aliona</b>, thanks for the hair comment. I really struggle with my hair which is fine, thin, straight and defies any styling so it is nice to hear it does not look too awful (I cringe every time I see my pictures).<br /><b>Laurie</b>, actually my legs are average length for my height. Angie also rocks these flares and she had average length legs as well so unless your legs are on the short side you should give them a try!<br /><b>Ginger,</b> your variation of the Ukrainian blouse outfit sounds really nice, I hope to see it here!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this/page/2#post-1581806 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 18:18:22 +0000 Laurie 1581806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #2, Sveta. &nbsp;I thought hard about those trousers after Angie's outfit. You've confirmed my feeling that they are amazing on long legs, which I do not possess. &nbsp;</p> <p>Also really like #3. &nbsp;Love your scarves!</p> <p>Nice to see you again, missed your posts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581780 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 17:13:43 +0000 Ginger 1581780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - I have (nearly) the same blouse! Also from a visit to Ukraine. I haven't worn it much because of styling challenges, but I like how you've done it with the flares. I like it both with and without the vest, too.</p> <p>I can't do that look, but the comments about *why* yours works are helpful. Maybe I can pair mine with a black skirt, and use pointy-toed chelseas to update it. And gray sweater tights, maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581719 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 13:03:24 +0000 Anonymous 1581719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Ukrainian vyshyvanka on you and regret that I do not have one. My much younger 32 year old cousin wears hers quite often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581716 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 12:30:00 +0000 Anonymous 1581716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're looking amazing in these, Sveta, and I LOVE YOUR HAIR!!</p> <p>The peasant blouse is definitely a keeper. As others say, it goes with the current boho look and you've styled it beautifully. All other outfits are fab, and I still very much like the culottes on you, but with lighter footwear and a lighter bag as others suggest. I like the structure the sweater gives to the outfit, and this one seems to work, but again maybe a slightly more tonal sweater? </p> <p>Again...your hair! Fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581709 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 11:58:18 +0000 Jules 1581709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've styled the blouse to perfection! The moto belt would not have occurred to me but I think its toughness is perfect. I'm crazy jealous of the rust pants - loved them instantly when Angie featured them, but I couldn't figure out from the website if they were even being sold in Canada. By coincidence I'll be near Express today, I'm probably too late but will definitely take a look so thanks for the reminder. One of my all-time favourite clothing items was a pair of sailor pants from Club Monaco, actually I got photographed by Toronto Life wearing them at a bar opening party (and I was not very well-dressed in my twenties so this was pretty epic for me!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581703 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 11:27:08 +0000 Lucy 1581703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look, as always, impeccably stylish! I love the ethnic blouse worked back with more modern styles.&nbsp;<br />It is interesting that you're not feeling the fuller skirts. I think you wear them very well, and you look super in them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581693 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 10:11:54 +0000 rute 1581693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>of course! Love outfit 1! The blouse is stunning! You look amazing, so stylish, my jaw is on the floor right now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581571 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 00:14:35 +0000 Elizabeth P 1581571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So good to see a set of outfits from you!&nbsp; Yes, you can definitely wear that blouse... I personally prefer it without the vest, as the lines of the blouse are shown off better.&nbsp; </p> <p>I like the culottes, but I think the boots are the factor that de-fabs this particular outfit.&nbsp; They are a bit chunky for the rest of the look... esp as they stand out with their contrasting colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581562 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 23:31:13 +0000 Eliza 1581562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the authentic boho. Like it without the vest. Might like to see it untucked, just for fun.&nbsp;<br />The rust pants are terrific on you. Way to show off the sailor buttons and relieve any chance of silhouette boredom. Like the way the booties continue the already long leg line.&nbsp;<br />Number 3 is lovely. &nbsp;Your light gray satchel might play well with those pants and accessories, too.&nbsp;<br />Number 4 is well assembled. I just wonder if lighter footwear would round out the proportions. <br />Number 5 is beautiful on you. Love the elegant pattern mixing.&nbsp;</p> <p>Glad you found time check in here.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581474 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 16:16:59 +0000 Maneera 1581474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta - you look fan-freakin-tastic in every single outfit!!! The blouse in #1 is lovely - perfect feminine, boho blouse that is pretty without being overbearing. And the sailor pants in #2 are amazing! YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581454 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 15:39:10 +0000 lyn67 1581454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like how you styled that embroidered blouse, and all the other outfits of the week, but I do also have a problem with nr 4. Maybe is the too dark boots to the lightweight white culottes, seems like seasonally confusing a bit, or I just don't know. Otheweise all really beautiful, and well put together, stylish and chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581425 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 13:23:26 +0000 kkards 1581425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES,YES,YES to the blouse in #1. i prefer it without the vest, but thats not to say i don't like it with the vest, just that i think #1 is totally lovely. and the rust sailor pants---another fab outfit. re the&nbsp; culottes outfit, imo it needs a black or white shoe, but i'm a matchy-matchy girl, so take that with a grain of salt</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581421 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 13:09:23 +0000 Scarlet 1581421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE THAT PEASANT SHIRT ON YOU! The white looks extremely fresh on you and the touch of red is great with your lipstick. Huge thumbs up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581409 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 11:52:24 +0000 JamC 1581409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #2 are my favorites too. The blouse in #1 is beautiful. I think it could be worn in many outfits. I don't think you have to wear the flares to keep it as a "boho" outfit; try it with other bottoms! I also love the flares in #2 and look forward to seeing other combinations with them too. Enjoy your 2 new pieces. They are fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581404 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 10:17:18 +0000 Deborah 1581404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the blouse in #1 is really lovely and the way you have styled it with the vest is perfect. &nbsp;Definitely wear this again. &nbsp;Fantastic outfits Sveta:) &nbsp;Funny how you are feeling about the flared skirt, you look lovely in it but I am not 'feeling' it for you at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581381 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 05:21:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1581381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, your style is as fabulous as ever! I love the embroidered blouse on you, especially with that studded belt and flares. I agree with others that it is a very current elegant boho look, not costumey at all. </p> <p>Love outfit 2--wow! Those sailor pants in rust are amazing on you, and great with those boots. <br />Beautiful tonal look in outfit 3--too bad the weather didn't cooperate! </p> <p>I actually love the culottes outfit on you and would try a lighter color of boot or high-vamped sandal, or even a dark boot that is more fitted on the ankle. To me, the proportions are just right with the layered tops and the culottes.</p> <p>I'm surprised to hear you find flared skirts hard to wear, because this striped one is just stunning on you. I love it with those pretty flats and the patterned blouse. So ladylike yet modern and bold, it's a look you really own. Every time I see you in that skirt, I admire it so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581363 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 04:14:01 +0000 Mellllls 1581363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loooove #2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581360 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 04:07:31 +0000 unfrumped 1581360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do wear the blouse. Very boho- lite, not re: authenticity but re: not being " too much". Also would like to see it with the other pants or culottes. Maybe an edgy jacket for juxtaposition.<br /> # 2 is fantastic.<br /> Striped skirt still is lovely. Though it's great for tucking, I might try with boxy untucked top to look more relaxed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581358 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 03:50:33 +0000 Carole 1581358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the new blouse and the way you've styled it makes it look modern and fun! Your other outfits are fab, also, and your Angie pants are great in the russet color, very fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581346 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 03:23:08 +0000 Jaime 1581346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top in #1 looks great - not costumey and perfect with the flares. Love #2 - gorgeous. I think the culottes need a less contrasting shoe/boot in #4? Or a longer boot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581344 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 03:14:51 +0000 Beth Ann 1581344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to the ethnic top!&nbsp; It's clean and fresh, and different from the frothy boho in most stores at the moment.&nbsp; Love the polished way to styled it here.</p> <p>The new rust pants are uber flattering --- they are a perfect choice for you.</p> <p>As for the culottes, what about trying with an elegant flat or more refined bootie?</p> <p>I think the flared skirt is gorgeous on you.&nbsp; However, sometimes we can look good and not "feel" right in something.&nbsp; Flared skirts could always take a winter sabbatical!</p> <p>So glad you shared in the midst of your busy time.&nbsp; I always get lots of great ideas from you.&nbsp; I will file away the black t-neck with dove grey topper.&nbsp; I can do that one with a dressy cardi.&nbsp; Of course, I'll remember to wait for a truly cool day!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581341 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 03:07:28 +0000 Marley 1581341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That embroidered blouse is gorgeous - and paired with the flares is a fabulous outfit! &nbsp;Love it! &nbsp;And, definitely NOT costumey! &nbsp;I much prefer it on it's own without the vest. &nbsp;The other outfits are very nice too Sveta. &nbsp;I'd try the white culottes with a more tonal shoe/boot and perhaps without the layering of the tops - maybe that would make it feel better on you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581327 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 02:12:04 +0000 missvee 1581327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The silk embroidered blouse is wonderful on you and you've styled it very well. I think you're right that the boots with the culottes are probably what's throwing the outfit off. What about trying the black flats or the cream oxfords? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581310 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 00:05:09 +0000 Carla 1581310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with others that the ethnic blouse is on trend...and furthermore, yours is authentic. Possibly could become a signiture piece. I would even suggest you go so far as to try it with the troublesome coulottes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581300 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 23:16:39 +0000 Suz 1581300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh! I love the blouse on you. I think it fits right in with the boho trend. Elegant and glam. Try it with the Express flares, too. I much prefer it without the long vest, though. (And you know how I love that vest!) It just shines brighter on its own.&nbsp;</p> <p>All the outfits are great. You look sensational in the Halogen striped skirt so I hope you can enjoy it a little bit! You have got far more wear from yours than I have from mine, that's for sure.&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE outfit #2.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581296 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 23:11:36 +0000 Peri 1581296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! It doesn't look costumes at all, just boho. I think I like it best with the vest.</p> <p>And I love the leopard blouse in #5. I think you look great in the flared skirts...you have the height to carry it off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-a-question-can-i-wear-this#post-1581295 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 23:10:47 +0000 Bonnie 1581295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these outfits but my favorites are #1 and #2. I like the folk blouse with the vest and flares, and the rust pants in #2 are perfect. </p>
